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

[Hop]

a twinkie will jam an AR.

 

[WestSider]

I'm not a fan of not having one, so I'm finally getting one.

 

[M67]

a twinkie will jam an AR.

And the unions jammed the twinkies.

If for some reason there's a twinkie in your action, just get some lube in there, it should run fine besides smelling like a burnt baker's union creation.

Quad rails with nothing but rail covers on them, or forward grips that use A2 grips. Very mall-ninjaish.

Yet to be impressed with any of the accessories magpul puts out. I just don't get the hype I guess.

Everything Magpul makes is basically more comfortable and more durable than the stock counterpart.

It's also prettier

Really? What do you prefer? OEM?

Except for the plastic sights. I like my Magpul handgaurds and stocks, but I want my sights made out of metal.

As some one else said my biggest complaint is not having one. Hope to fix that problem as soon as I wade through all the choices.

i dont like their triggers even RRA 2 stage triggers. Everything else I can live with.With a couple exceptions on a couple of my rifles.I did upgrade to a PRS stock on a couple hunting rifles.

Some odd logic there. You might want to read up on what went into the design of the 5.56.

What I don't like is people hanging every gadget possible on their AR.

^^ this right here^^
I like my K.I.S.S. rifle.
I don't want stuff hanging all over the place and I want fixed sights with less of a chance of stuff coming loose

Looks like I'm late to this party. Some of these have already been covered:

• Charging Handle
• Recoil spring tube (non folding stock)
• Bolt release/hold open
• Direct impingement (fouling, reliance on 3 washers not being aligned)
• Non ambidextrous
• Did I mention the charging handle?

I'm going to sell my two, buy a Tavor or a Steyr AUG -- Rock River Arms 24" bull barrel with Tasco 6-24x, Bushmaster 16" HBAR A2 style, has free float quad rail and collapsible stock, and a crap optic. I'll include the original A2 fore end, VFG, taclight. I'll throw in 2 pmag's with each rifle, and a parts kit to whoever buys one first. Make me an offer, I'm going to list them soon (with pics).

The Rock River PDS addresses a number of my issues, but I'm not sure I'm really a fan of an AR in pistol configuration. Maybe one with a folding stock that's an SBR, but then you run into the same world of one-off rifles as the FN FS2000, Tavor, Steyr (to some extent, there are clones). I'd like to try shooting an AR pistol though.

Knight's armament and a few other's.

 

[mtomaro]

unused quad rails. Get a modular rail and add rail where you need it.

 

[sethr]

Unnecessarily overpriced accessories for "name" snobbery.
Small titanium parts that don't lighten the rifle for squat.
Four sided rails.
A2 grips.
Junk LPK with junk trigger assembly.
Using "mil-spec" on a part that is not totally--or at all.
Extreme power, heavy scope on a 500 yard (maybe) rifle.
Media thinking AR means assault rifle. LMAO!

 

[mcapo]

Bump fire devices.

How true this five year old post became....

 

[ScouT6a]

I don't like the round it's chambered in.

Which caliber .22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .204 Ruger, .223 Remington, 5.56mm, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 ??

300 BLK, .458 SOCOM, etc., etc. etc.

300 BLK, .458 SOCOM, etc., etc. etc.

To each their own of course.

I am not a fan of:

-Overpriced charging handles
-A2 Grips
-The way the rifle charges in general
-A2 Flash hider as standard on most rifles
-Direct Impingement
-62 Grain Green tip ammo
-Light primer strikes in sub-zero temps
