for all you ar15 owners part 2
Hi there, I have a unrestrained question to ask you all specifically for the ones who own a AR15 type rifle. After browsing through this site, i found out that you need a 'bullet button' to detach the magazine. My reasoning is I have nothing against you owning a AR15 type rifle that needs a 'bullet button' because we live in CA. Above all, you may challenge me with this, but I would rather buy a SKS type rifle from china and have no 'bullet button,' correct me if I'm wrong. And I'm fine with not having a AR15 type rifle because forget about the 'bullet button.' So in the end, I'm a simple type person like things plain and jane so this may be the reason why I would rather buy a SKS type rifle instead of a AR with the bullet button, tell me what you all think AR fans. I just can't reason needing to stick something inside a button to release the magazine. Or maybe have the magazine fall out or I loose it.
plz read page 5 of "for all of you AR15 owners" part 1, before you reply Last edited by dieselpower; 04-25-2010 at 1:17 PM.. |

Edit: And because the author failed to mention this thread as being for California owning AR owners only, I say THIS to you're silly bullet button argument against AR's: My bullet button is right here: I'll take this over ANY SKS anyday... Last edited by moshpit; 04-25-2010 at 11:06 AM.. |

Don't anybody get my post wrong, I do like the SKS for playing around with. They can be a lot of fun. My point though was I cannot imagine picking one as my primary choice. At the very least go for a nice AK if you have to go Warsaw Pact on your choice, or like Ojisan said, a nice Russian\Romanian\Hungarian made SKS. But for NATO style rifles, the AR is just one of the best places to start, regardless of how you load your mags.

Here he is helping another member build an AR:

LOL. Please read my posts in part1 and you will see what I am doing. Yes I sometimes get kunfuzzed as to the finer points, I'm an old man give me a break...lol
The SKS is a fine weapon. I dont need to worry about loosing my magazines, have you ever tried to load an AR15 without a magazine...its a deal killer for me. A detachable magazine is an accident waiting to happen, without the magazine all you have is a 7lb golf club. The bayonet is there at the ready, are you going to tell a bad guy to wait while you install yours on an AR15? |

If I own an SKS, I'll have to also own a lot of stripper clips.

But then my AR bias comes from it being the architecture I'm familiar with cleaning and maintaining because of training, so my bias may be an unfair one to expect of others. The AR is so bloody simple to work on, and the SKS makes me want to pull out hair when trying to clean it after range use. My brother owns several SKS in various configs, and I would never pick any of them for a first choice rifle. I can completely strip down any AR for cleaning in under a minute. |

I couldn't agree more. The SKS is one of the finest battle rifles ever made. The simple fact that there are NO magazines to slip out and lose is just one example of its superiority. Then there is the round it shoots. Complete ballistic dominance up to 133 yards. That IS where most ground engagements take place, you know. |

Buy whatever you want. In the end, it is going to be your rifle.
I'll invite you to shoot a couple of my legal, featureless, ARs without BBs and a couple SKSs before you make up your mind though. How many do you want? I'll sell you a few of mine for $250 after PPT! I can replace them for a lot less. There are several dealers on this forum who sell them for $150 or less now. But, you should buy a few of mine for $215 each instead!

I love my SKS, I also love my AR15. I think I see the point of the OP in that if you are limited to a fixed magazine, why not just use a weapon designed for a fixed magazine? If that was the question, I would respond;
"The bullet button creates an extra step for a detachable magazine and is not really comparable to a system where the magazine is fixed." Shoot, maybe I'm the dummy for giving the post so much attention but if I wasn't going to respond with something productive, I'd try not to respond at all. Facepalms and cute little gifs are the internet equivalent of saying "DER!" and chopping at your chest. If you think someone is acting simple and childish or you disagree or think they are a "n00b", just don't respond, why feel the need to get attention through condescending e-slang from four years ago? |
