    Question Possible first time buyer... need input.

    I am thinking of buying an semi-auto rifle. I have never owned one and reading the post on here I get so confused... uppers... downers... lowers... barbiturates… opiates… etc... LOL

    Anyway my question is... what would be a good one for a rookie owner... I don’t care about any extras right now, just the weapon. AK? AR? SKS? Honestly I don’t know the diff... No I haven’t done any research as of yet... I just wanted you guys input to get me started.

    Thanks in advance,
    Ez

    What's an "assault rifle?"

    Stay away from AR's at the moment, they are way overpriced.

    I was going to say; "A couple months late and a $3000 short."

    Even if you wanted an AR and found an okay deal, it will make a nice door prop as it is hard to get ammo.
    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    I don't have the money nor the ability to own a true assault rifle. Maybe you're looking for a semi-auto Homeland Defense Rifle?

    I'd be happy to give him 50% off the going rate of $10,000 for a vanilla m4-clone for the low low price of $5,000.

    I hear some of the black hunting rifles are really nice. Just make sure that any you buy don't have any military-like features. The military is very bad mmkay and so are their weapons.

    How about a nice lever-action instead?

    Make a firm decision.
    Be assertive.



    Really though, just about anything semi auto is approaching unobtanium these days.
    A lever gun aint a half bad idea
