Coming out the closet...

[rivviepop]

Yeah...you're taking this a bit too seriously. I wasn't saying I don't support people who want to own ARs. I think you should be able to own and shoot and carry whatever puts a smile on your face. I just don't want one.

yeah, I kinda thought you were BSing more about the "do you like Glock 20 or 21?" not the "should OLL be legal?" subject.

I don't like ARs. They bore me. They are uninteresting. I like steel, wood, bolt actions. Something with soul. I had to get that off my chest. Come on people, I can't be the only one!

Naw dont feel too much like a freak....as much as i like AR's im a bigger fan of the FAL and M1A. I grew up on bolt actions (mostly Mausers) so i can see where you come from...

but seriously...you dont like AR's??? besides not haveing a "soul" whats so bad?

Try an AK. Character aplenty!

What I really, really like about ARs is the tinker-toy aspect - you can switch around just about every component on them easily in the garage, and there's such a huge variety of options. They make great hacker guns, and are very flexible, if a bit confounding at times.

What I don't like about them is the ergonomics. The whole butt on top of the shoulder/high cheek weld, the ultra high sight over bore design... I was raised with old-school wood and steel long guns, and ARs just don't feel natural to me.

There's also the flimsy aspect and poor precision of the stock ones. Yes, I know you can build a sturdy, tight, solid AR by bolting a bunch of $200 components onto it, but I'm just not into spending a whole lot of money on each gun, and for the $700 starting point, you really don't get a lot of precision and finesse for your money.

That's just me. YMMV, as always.

Blasphemy! We're going to have to do an exARcism right now!

I love my AR, but there's something about pressing your cheek against a winter birch stock and catching the faint scent of cosmo.

That's cool I respect your opinion. I've got 2 AK's here night now and they just don't do it for me. Sure they're a work horse but I honestly don't see the fun in them.
