Getting my first AR

[ditchtiger]

Have never impressed me but with reloading it will be a cheap shooter. Sending some safe queens to my son and he will build it for me. All I need are dies as the Dillon .222 conversion parts are the same.

It's going to be a build. The only stipulations, no hand guard covered with picatinny rails. No barrel that is cut for a grenade launcher.
And it has to be all black. Other wise he can assemble what he wants as it will most likely be his years down the road anyway.

In this day and age, when there is a push to completely ban such guns, I think it's a good idea for as many gun owners to own an AR as possible - the more there are out there, the harder it is for the courts to say they're not a common and prolific gun. I know some folks don't care for them, I actually didn't just 7 or so years ago. But now that I see what they mean as a symbol for freedom to gun owners, I had to get one. And I liked it, very much. Glad I finally did it.

Enjoy your new AR and be sure to share some photos once the build is done.

There will be a few folks giving me grief after my views on AR's. I'm a Com/bloc weapons fan at heart. But what the heck. As long as I don't get a Glock also, I'll be OK.

I don't give anyone grief for a preference of one kind of a gun over another, even Glocks. I'm just happy when gun owners buy guns, even happier when new gun owners buy guns

It's been well over 40 years since I was a new gun owner. The ribbing I will get will be in jest.

You are on a path of destruction... I just got my first AR last year and then 4 more after that. Some I built and some I just bought because I couldn't resist them at the gun store. Oh yeah, I used to not like Glocks too. Last month I bought one of those too....

I don't use my AK much. Mainly due to saving ammo. Yes its still widely available and cheap I use my ARs mostly.

I believe everyone should either have an AR or at least a lower and a lower build kit.
