Welcome
Welcome to the forum, and I am sure the guys and ladies that own ARs will help you with answering more of your questions. I don't own an AR myself at this time.

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.- Col. Jeff Cooper
I never knew an AR-15 was an assault weapon. Mine has never assaulted anyone.
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks everyone for the helpful answers and friendly welcomes. It'll be a month or two before I'm able to go forward, but I'm looking forward to following the forums and coming out to some shoots this summer!
I am sure if you attend one of the informal shoots we have that many would let you try a few. The AR can be had 1001 ways. I am one of the old school kind and have a couple of A-1's One std 20" config and a shorter Izzy carbine style.Originally Posted by Elephino
Some like all the stuff you can hang on one and some are bare bones. Do a little reading and you will find options. Just remember that many options are not what they seem and only you can make up your mind on what you want.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
As far as pricing, if you search the Internet and keep a watch on the buyer intel thread there have been new ARs pop up for as low as $ 599 as long as you are not a name brand snob and don't need the latest in bells & whistles.
Damn, the M 60, throw in a Huey UH 1 and I could start having flashbacks.
Yea, but I bet you PEPPERED something with itI never knew an AR-15 was an assault weapon. Mine has never assaulted anyone.

Well I see that Byte is on top of it
Ya Mazin hit it. Byte pertty much covered every thing. The AR platform can be built for just about every thing from prairie dogs to elk.
Choose a rifle caliber and chances are they have an upper. Some of my fun .204 ruger, .223 / 5.56, .243 WSSM, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC, FN 5.7 x 28, 450 Bushmaster, 50 Beowulf, 50 BMG.
And they make a whole lot more calibers for the same platform.
P.S. Welcome to the forum!!
Just for the record, the term "assault rifle" is typically frowned upon here.
"Assualt rifle" is the term thrown around at just about any firearm with certain aesthetic qualities, regardless of the actual function of the firearm.
Realistically, only a fully automatic firearm is really an "assault weapon".
Oh yeah - just to help you with the learning curve.... Most of us here wince strongly when folks use the term "clip" to refer to a "magazine". Just thought I'd save you some grief there should you consider using that term.
