Default Re: Any of you guys shoot?

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.
