Lifelong shooter and avid big game hunter looking to learn about AR's from you guys. I've known about this site for years and recognize some names from another forum. I have a few classic battle rifles but never owned an AR. The recent legislative shenanigans have motivated me to modernize. I've started by collecting a couple dozen Pmag 30's and a few Lancer 20's, just need something to run them in.

I escaped the Front Range a couple decades ago but still have a place in the mountains near RMNP. On our farm outside Palisade I grow apples, apricots, peaches and grapes, and we have a small private winery.

Teach me about the AR platform and I'll be grapeful.
