AR15's. What are you NOT a fan of?

[possum_128]

Not a fan of any AR.

I've never liked the original front sight post. It really was never designed for today's optics

Thats funny!

 

[phylodog]

They make ARs with very thin quad rails now with better rail covers that don't expand the diameter that much

I like the new FF tubes on the market which allow for rail sections to be attached wherever the user prefers, I don't consider those to be quad rails. I had one of these manufactured by Troy for awhile but ended up sticking with the Magpul MOE handguards. They are cheaper, lighter and allow me to attach what I need where I need it.

I fail to see your logic. Please explain with more detail.

Because based upon my knowledge, the front sight was designed to work with the integral rear sight in the carry handle, and the height of said sight was due to the high position of the buffer tube for proper cheek weld.

 

[RandallX]

not a big fan of the folding front grips or the "grip-pods." optics that interfere with the iron sights bug me too.

I dont like the gas operated AR's

That would be all of them except 22lr & 9mm versions

I have yet to find anything on the AR platform that couldnt be changed easily. Assuming proper paperwork and stamp, one could go from a short barrelled, heavy calibre room clearing gun, to a light calibre precision varmint rifle, to a carbine length medium/large game rifle in a few minutes sitting at the kitchen table with some very basic hand tools.

The only thing I have found to complain about the platform is the price...

 

[paddling_man]

Carbine length gas systems / guards on an ar with a 16" or longer barrel.

 

[inccwchris]

The piston operated systems are still gas operated, they are just more like an AK operating system.

Which makes them less accurate, heavier, and recoil more. But to each his own.

Carbine length gas systems / guards on an ar with a 16" or longer barrel.

I'd say with anything more than 12.5", since I have a 14.5" middy that runs just fine.

 

[mrzachary]

Biggest complaint would be that its not a FAL.

But really, probably the charging handle and the way you have to charge the weapon. It's not the end of the world, but man its bad. Nothing other than that really.

I'm not a huge fan of the gas piston system on ARs but it does not make them less accurate or recoil more, actually felt recoil is less.

 

[warriorbob]

I'd have to say the price although my delton was reasonable

I would tend to agree, with the points about the piston, however they are not less accurate. The weight would not bother me, nor would the recoil. I just am a fan of the saying do not fix what is not broken. The original gas system is perfectly fine and did not need improvement in my opinion

 

[U.S. Patriot]

Mall Ninjas, and my AR is better because I spent 2k.

 

[kawtech87]

I dont like rails on any gun.

I really dont need to hang 25lbs of crap on my rifle to go shoot paper in the woods.

One or two up front with a full length top rail is fine and usefull, but the full length quad rail just looks like crap and makes no sense to me.

 

[rooster]

this type of mount is useless if you do anything more than a little range shooting from a bench.

 

[donnie1581]

I really dislike not having one. lol

LOL!

I remember fighting to get a those for My Squad overseas!

 

[bob609891]

I hate flip-up rear sights.
Now... in a tactical situation it is convenient to mount one under the ass end of an ACOG (or similar combat optic) just in case your garbage government issue trijicon goes down for the count. But if you want to shoot with ironsights, just get a carrying handle attachment, youre going to have to zero it anyway.
