Wait 6 months then consider buying an AR

I don't know about getting an "assault rifle" but highly recommend every shooter be introduced to and own "the greatest battle implement ever devised", i.e., the M-1 Garand. $625 plus $24.95 S&H from the CMP -- may cost you an additional $25 to join the Garand Collectors Association or other club (CO AR-15 is apparently a registered club with the CMP but I've never received any "proof of membership" I could send them).

The CMP will also sell you Greek surplus .30-06 ammunition (steel core, packaged loose in steel .30 caliber ammo cans) for $98 plus $11.95 S&H or new manufacture Hornady .30-06 for $230 plus $9.95 S&H per case of 200 rounds or $425 plus $19.95 S&H per case of 500 rounds.

You've got a picture of Clint as your avatar, get the rifle he held in "Gran Torino".

This my friends is the ultimate Assault Weapon. Wielded for over a century as a way to resolve issues


It followed the original Assault weapon utilized by Farmers, city folks, pinkertons and other folks, singularly and in groups [mobs] depending on which side of the law or crown you were on.

Of course the addition of a weighted end gave said person a much greater swath to cut and reign fear if not swift justice to all before it.

So you're FIRMly in favor of seeking knowledge or SOFTening up regarding what choices you have?

1) buy an AR. Apart from all the window dressing it offers unmatched multiple caliber potential. Start with 5.56, add uppers as your bank account deems possible.
2) buy a quality factory gun. Many of us build our own, and they are quality, but you don't want to start with a rifle that potentially wasn't head spaced or torqued to the right spec.
3) ammo is expensive, so buy a 22 conversion bolt. It's drop in and nearly idiot proof. You will spend some money right now, but will save it no matter what down the line.
4) invest in your optic. With the number of low grade optics I've tossed, I could have had an Acog by now. Just one, but still. Don't buy because its cheap. Go to shows, look through optics, search reviews and find something worth your money.
5) and finally accessorize! Because you're worth it girl! But really, blow some cash on that quad rail, try a vertical grip, spend some money at Magpul. Find out what you like and your second rifle in, you won't have questions, just connundrums.

This is good advice.
