In the past I have never been a fan of the AR-15, Previous to my army enlistment I was a hunter and had shot the Ruger mini 14. My impressions of the M-16 soured me on the AR 15 platform, The M16 had a well earned reputation of jamming when most needed and getting good men killed. Mine had jammed so bad on me on a firing range it had to be sent back to the armorer with a round in the chamber. 50 years later things have changed. The AR15 is affordable to keep and feed and fun to shoot.Venus Pax wrote:I would like an AR-15.
I know this isn't a very popular thing to say on a board like this one, but I really don't have a lot of guns.
There are some guns are work tools to protect ourselves and our loved ones. Others are more for fun. Although my long guns could be used to defend my home and family, they are mostly for fun and the AR 15 is one of the most fun guns to shoot. I think you will find it a lot of fun to shoot.
BTW: welcome back to the forum, I have missed your insight and perspective on issues.
