Top Ten Reasons to Own an AR-15

[Alamo]

Can't rep you, old friend, but I tried.

It’s the thought that counts.

#1-10 = 'Cause I am a ****ing American man.

I/we don't need a reason because we are United States of Americans.

Ironically, the rep system only goes to 10!

Agree with the others that it pisses off the left people. I had an AR sticker on my vehicle for awhile and the looks I got from a couple people were priceless.

 

[LazyL0228]

Yes; we can own them and we all should all have more than one!

They really are an easy weapon to teach others to operate and maintain proficiently in just a few hours.
And the smile a person gets once they learn to shoot one well, priceless.

Stay safe

1. Being armed is your right and may be your civic duty.

IS your civic duty, amen

I hate having to justify why I own one, or seeing others do so, but it's solid list.

If everybody else has one, I don't want one.


I'll stick to my heavy, clunky, 5.56mm chambered AK. That gun will still run if I remove the dust cover and shove a ham sandwich in there.

So my AK would have a friend.

 

[Tsssst]

I recently finished my first AR build (and first one I've ever owned). I love my AK variant and am accustomed to it. I've only ever done one 3-gun competition and I was the only AK and the only iron sights, and I landed in the middle of the pack. I was pleased with that because I didn't try or know how to "game" the course. The whole atmosphere was new to me and I held my own well enough.

I built the AR in 5.56 because they really are the most common platform/ammo in the USA. I feel like I really need to know how they operate and get myself accustomed to using one. I've only shot it at two range sessions now and the first one was just to see what gas block adjustments needed to be made... No handguard or sights taken. Total AR amateur and I'll be getting used to it for quite a while but if s ever htf, it behooves me to have a clue about the gun and ammo that will be most prevalent in the USA.

Assembling it myself was, I feel, invaluable. I love my AK (bought as a complete rifle) and am faster and better with it but god help me if it needed anything you can't just swap in and out like a fcg or bolt carrier or recoil spring. Rivets and flats and all that... Sheesh.

I have a great new appreciation for the AR platform whether or not I ever get as in love with it as I am the AK.

I knew of these my father in law looked into them. I like twisting words the left loves
