Any of you guys shoot?
 

I'm looking at getting an AR and wondering if the juice is worth the squeeze.

I've had a pistol for personal protection for a while now, and a hunting rifle, but I'm getting an itch for one. Torn between building my own or getting something classic like the Colts.

I must be mistaken I thought this site was about GMC trucks and not weapons used to murder folks in masses ?:pullinghairout:

Its in the "other builds and projecs" area. It's not a truck, so I thought I'd ask here.

Also, why am I murdering folks in masses? Is that a requirement?

This reminds me of the controversy over your log splitter, Fetch! I know of at least one guy who quit the forum over that one. More power to you in my opinion.

Cars and trucks have killed as many people as guns.

Don't see anything wrong with the post Fetch.

While I (briefly) fired and handled the military version, which was Colt, I don't think that any particular manufacturer is "better" than any other in these. Just personal preferences and what feels comfortable to hold, aim, and fire. And of course consider maintenance, does it come apart easily, for instance.

I have recently gotten into black powder, and although my funds are not high enough to have all I want, I have a Walker Colt replica and an unknown piece. The Walker was bought after holding several different types and I liked the way it felt (a bit heavy). The unknown one is a single shot, it gets laughs more than anything else, but it was a gift.

If you can, find a place that has several manufacturers of the AR-15 platform and see what feels good.

No faster than any other rifle or pistol for that matter. Its just a more common and often reasonably priced.

YOU WILL LIKE THE AR. most brands are pretty good, i have several. ihave a 5.56 colt, shoots well. rock river is really good, great quality, better trigger than the colt, they are a little heavier, but great quality. one of my favorites is my sig sauer MPX. it shoots 9mm. not any good for hunting, but cheap to shoot if your just plinking.

Fetch's post IS in the correct location. From his other posts, I know of him to be a family man, posting helpful content and with added humor too. He's a funny guy!

So, while not a topic of my interest, I did click-on to "check it out" as a new post. I found it was not my cup of tea, so nothing to add other than my first line.
