I hear ya brother! Just wait until you've had the "bug" for 5 or more years! You'll be amazed at what you just have to have, even though you never needed one before. The AR platform is so upgradeable that there is literally no end to it. Sure is fun though, and it just may save your life someday....

I've only had my first 'personal' AR for 9 days and I'm already looking into my next. I've been buying brass & powder like cazy lately.
I admit it, I have a 'plinking' problem. |

1. Bull barrel 2. Space gun 3. 20" Milspec 4. M4 5. Preban 6. Postban 7. 16" 8. SBR 9. Scoped Flattop 10.40 cal / 9 mm / 7.62 x 39 / other 11.HBAR 12.gov't barrel 13.A2 14.DCM legal 15.Defense 16.Full auto 17.Burst 18.fixed stock / telestock and a thousand others. I GOTTA HAVE ONE OF EACH!!!!!!!! |

The only problem I see is they are expensive to keep fed, for a poor slob like me. It's a good thing the wife works and shoots too. You newbies better reload or come to the AR table with money. Ain't love grand? I guess this is what they mean when they say love hurts.

For me it's the upper/lower configuration that's the problem. Other rifles you have to pay for the whole weapon at once. With an AR you can buy "half", then the other half later !
I started out with a complete rifle. After getting another upper, I saw a lower for sale at a local gunshop. It only made sense (to us) to buy it [:D] ! Having all the different parts/accessories on the market doesn't help either .... Chris |

Maybe so, but not always. the garand really gives me a hardon when i shoot it. the ar, however, IS today`s tecnology, and definitely is fun...(all in the eye of the beholder`).....[frag]

It's just that it has too many "trinkets".

Sorry, but from sheer American numbers, I would say it is the Ruger 10-22.
Internationally it is the AK. Even in America, there are probably more AK shooters than AR. |

I think that it is more the type of rifle then the rifle. I love all para-military rifles.
AR, AK, HK, FAL... I prefer my AR but I love them all.... And I can never have enough of them. The only question is which one do I buy next? [heavy] |
