Talk me out of selling my AR

[jim02]

Sell it if you dont like it and will never buy a 556/223 ar again.
Otherwise its paid for and is not going to loose value (unless u paid obama prices)
Never sell anything thats paid for if it wont loose value and your happy with it is my motto.

I have this sneaking suspicion that if I ever really need to take a grizzly, it's not going to turn its head and hold still for me to apply the .22. At that point, I'd really like a belt fed .458 Win Mag.....

Then unload a 30 round mag of .223 into the griz...my money is he will go down, plus you get a great adrenaline rush.

Yeah but to get an M1A to do what an AR can out of the box is gonna cost ya some coin...

But I agree, M1As have WAAAAY more cool factor.

Not necessarily. M1A's are very accurate with a few simple mods you can do yourself. And the really don't cost anything. A standard AR15 is about a 3 moa rifle (so I've been told). A standard M1A with good match or reloads will easily do that or better. Just a word of advice on M1A's though, I personally would stay away from newer Springfields. Most of the parts are made of cast garbage and prone to breaking. USGI spec parts is the way to go with these rifles. And a good reciever helps a little too. More and more manufacturers are building parts for them now and most are as good or better than USGI. One could build a very accurate M1A for the price of an AR10 or LR308. And yes, the looks alone are way better.

just hang on to it. you will spend more on the next gun, more on ammo and you said you are on a budget. if you can afford to just keep the gun, then do that. if you are going to take out student loans, sell the gun, save yourself the interest and buy another one later on.
