it's lighter, simpler, and i don't have to worry about finding specialized parts if something breaks. i also think the reliability issue is way, way overblown. unless you're doing mag dump after mag dump in full auto you don't really have to worry about it. you are not going to be able to lug around enough ammunition to get a DI AR dirty enough to have malfunctions.

if you don't intend to have back-up iron sights (BUIS) then you don't need a front sight on the gas block. that's a tiny weight savings. if you don't intend to have a light or forward grip, you don't need a fancy railed handguard or keymod. that's potentially more weight savings. military uses railed handguards because they need a place to mount a laser. you don't.

The furniture is ugly as shit but this would be a good choice IMO

For a completely different take, consider watching this series of videos:

"All of the weapons were either .22 caliber or .380 caliber firearms, authorities said."

and they wonder how these cities with such high gun control get their guns.

"its the surrounding states selling them legally"
"...or one u-haul of stolen guns"

lol

"shall we make theft illegal now too?"

if you buy an AR, make sure it's free floated

As long as it's not bottom of the barrel barrel; you'll be fine

my suggestion is RRA

or BCM

or spikes

You could go with a spikes completed lower then buy a free floated complete upper, too

im going to get one of the HK series of ARs

y

its closest to what I've used

so my familiarity is high with it

super thick barrels

9lb guns

meaningless gas piston

Pseudo-DI > Pistons

again. I'd rather use what I know than familiarize myself with an AR with different quirks

If only they didn't hand you garbage.

it wasn't a garbage rifle

worked great

haha

I think adding piston's to AR's that aren't in suppression fire rolls is retarded

ok

i mean dude I'm not some heavy involved gun enthusiast

it never had an issue with jamming, misfires, or anything else

easy to clean and accurate

easy to move with

the weight balance I'm used to

im sure that some people can have hours long convos about the mechanical aspects of a rifle, but the fact is, that when it comes to use, all that anyone using it cares about is if it can be used effectively.

like the whole rumor about the M16A1 jamming in mud

unless you're shooting the bitch while submerged it probably wasn't jamming because of mud

and AK's are dogshit after mud exposure
