Getting Started

[jerrymrc]

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.

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.

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.
