    While I understand your frustration a trip back to the basics may help. I carried an A1 for 12 years and 4 deployments and a War. I was also a unit armorer for most of those years.

    Until a few years ago I wanted nothing to do with an AR. I owned Fal's, AK's and a few others.
    Time has a way of healing things. The wife had been shooting a SAR3 and I had my Fal's (among others). So a few years ago I start reading about the "retro" movement and built one.

    The Wife likes it (she carried an A1 as well) and other than some of the ergonomics that are different than all the rest of the toys out there we seem to be able to switch gears pretty easily.

    My thought is that an AR complements a Fal or M14 (A1) or even a G3 or Cetme. I am too old to throw anything under the bus but in my case I have done much with what I have. I do plan on my last build to be an Izzy A1 CAR just to keep it in the family.
