ar-15

[cudaman]

does anyone know anything about ar-15's i might get one. i would like to know the pros and cons of it. and if it would be a bad idea to get one used, cause i cant afford a new one. i can get it california legalized with a new reciever so i got that covered. basically anything you could tell me about them that would be great. thanks

call me stupid but what an ar-15???

[Pappy]

the ar-15 (m-16) was developed by eugene stoner in the early 60's and adopted by the us military as the standard issue rifle in or around 1965. its a .223 caliper, light weight carbine capable of 600 rounds a minute. it uses primarily 20 and 30 round magizines.

civilian versions are semi- automatic and are basically the same as the military versions. they are decent firearms and provide good accuracy.

there are many people that manufacture the AR-15 rifle.

personally, i own a pre-ban Colt Arms AR-15.

i also like the Armalite AR-15. i definely trust these 2 manufacturers with this rifle.

you can also find the AR-15 chambered for .308, usually called the AR-10.

ahhh found the pic of my guns :)

[batgeek]

I don't know if you gun guys have seen this before, but go to www.stupidvideos.com and look up "glocktastic"

[batgeek]

hrmm...if ya can't stop something with a double tap, you can't shoot very well :D

[SGA]

Say Ralph, lets not use the GD word please..

[bradley300]

i hink an ar-15 is the civilian version of an m-16. m-16 are fully auto and the civilian ar-15 is a semi auto. other than that, there are no differences.

[LazeR]

military version ar-15's i believe are single shot, 3rd burst, and full auto the ar-15 was and is military they dont make a m-16 for civilians....its if you can get your hands on it....and if its pre ban then you can have it legally

[infantry317]

They're great fun, but expensive to shoot, I only shoot my M4gery (DPMS pinned carbine lower, Bushmaster M4AK upper with detachable handle sight) about once a year now. I really have more fun with my 10/22T and Sig P225.

Can you just go buy a new AR in Kalifornia now? I thought the rules changed two years ago?

[PhilMoore]

I want to get a 30 or 50 round mag for my 10-22, but the local gunshop says they are unavailable. I see different shops on the internet have them.

What's the deal?

I bet a dollar that says he didn't even have to look up this information...:rolleyes:

[XANDADA]

I have a Bushmaster and have been very happy with it. The only reservation I would have about buying a used ar-15 is you know the previous owners shot the living heck out of it. Check out an issue of "Shotgun News" - they have a million ads for new/used ar-15's.

[BlazingYamahaYz]

my friend has an ar-15, and i have shot it a few times...i like the way it feels, and i also like his chinese sks....ar-15s are pretty sweet, and hes got a red dot scope on his, and its been shooting pretty accurate...im not sure of the name, but i know he payed about $900 for it brand new....he likes it alot....

i was taught by the age of 13 to field strip ...clean and re-assemble this weapon. it has served me well. my favorite is my m-14. i havent mastered it at 1000 yards but i will:cool:

[ridesa02400EX]

M-14=great weapon.
SKS=good weapon for the money. I've had a couple, never had any trouble with them. You won't win any matches with them, but that wasn't their intended purpose...
