    How Many ARs You Have? Stuck on Next Purchase

    How many ARs do you guys have or willing to admit having? I have an 18" Stag. Built to eventually do 3gun. It's a little heavy but manageable. I want to build a pistol AR in 300 blackout (I reload so ammo isnt a problem) and mainly because I can due to an 80% I have.

    But after holding the 16" AR I built for my buddy I'm thinking that would be nice to have :laughing I can buy a bull barrel 16" AR for $500 right now but that's the price of a 300 blackout upper :mad I cant make up my mind!!

    I think I'm developing "CantHaveTooManyGuns Disease" as I also would like a Ruger Takedown, Kahr P380, 38 Special, Buckmark, 308 Bolt rifle, and a 10rd compact no thumb safety 45.

    It's tough to decide on what to purchase first. Of course this doesn't include a scope I need for an M1A either.

    I've had two and I miss them both.

      I won't admit to actually owning any AR-15's, but of the numerous versions of this platform that I may or may not have, I find myself favoring the shorter and handier 16-18 inch rifles over the longer ones even for bench shooting at longer ranges.

      My latest build, if I were in fact in the habit of building rifles (Which I can neither confirm nor deny) might be a 14.5" mid length SS 1:7 twist barrel with pinned brake intended as a lightweight precision rifle out to around 500/600 yards. I imagine if this rifle did in fact exist, it would be very lightweight (less than 9 pounds with optics) and portable while still being very capable at extended ranges. If it existed.

        It's never enough. 2 16" and 2 20" so four total maybe more later

          I don't own guns. I'm just here for the comedy.

            16", 10.5", and undecided on my third one... eyeballing 300 Blackout or 14.5 middy.

              1/2 of one.

              Next build will be a Hathcock Win-70 sniper replica, with a Unertl or Lyman on top.

                Get the bull barrel, AND they 300 blackout upper, the only thing that will be sorry is your wallet!

                  I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident. I do like the AR platform though, seems like it would be easy to customize and very common everywhere so parts would be easy to get.

                    just one...I'm not the connoisseur that some of these guys are


                    prices have dropped a bit, so, i'll leave the door open for the possibility of another one

                          I had a 16" PSA upper with an FN CL machine gun steel barrel with 80% lower, an 18' Larue OBR and a 20" PSA upper with a SS barrel and an 80% lower until my boat sunk and I lost them all.
                          I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

                            I've got a Remington TargetMaster that my Grand-dad bought for my father back in 1945. That's a 22 caliber
                            It takes a lot of balls to play golf the way I do.

                              Just one, a match RR A2 that weighs probably close to 10 lbs. I want a FN barreled A4 next. I never got to use optics so I figure I have to get a flat top for an Acog or whatever I finally choose to look through. I still love A2 sights though and won't ever give them up so long as I can see.
