I usually get flash hiders

I can agree to that statement, I need to by some p14 mags

I'm curious, why a flash hider? If you don't hunt at night or trying to hide your muzzle flash from an enemy, why not go for a brake or compensator?

Compensators are great for large bullets like .308 and up...but it's just as you say I'm hiding the flash....I never really found muzzle breaks useful

But sometimes useful on some weapons

I agree brakes and compensators are really better for larger rounds but they still serve a purpose even if small. I don't hunt at night and I hope I'll never need to be hiding my firing location from an enemy so the slight roil control I prefer. But it's a personal preference for most of us because we aren't in the military.

Like u say personal preference...some of the choices are because of those military exp

Technically if you are big brained a bullet only flies out of the barrel because of the trapped gasses of a controlled explosion

What exactly is the difference between a hunting rifle & a sniper rifle? According to the ATF anyways because snipers are included in the “Assault weapons ban” they want to propose.

Probably if it is scary and black instead of wood.

Same classification they are using for assault rifles.

Sick logic lol

I called this, if the anti gun left can't stop you from having guns, they would go after your ability to get ammo for them.

Just paint your wood green

Yeah I saw that video I was like they want to ban online ammo and make gun stores stop selling ammo... where the fuck do I buy my ammo?!?

Almost by design it seems

I really want to buy more ammo but between my college TA stipend and the inflated prices right now I just can't afford to buff my stockpile.

I maintain that John M. Browning streamlined and revolutionized Colt's equality initiative.

Appears to be a Yugoslavian correct?@Seal

Right on the money

Anyone know a quality yet affordable AR-15 to have as a first gun?

An AR15 is a great platform but if this is your first gun (assuming you haven't shot before) I'd recommend a 22 first.

You can get a lot more training with a 22 for really cheap so you get proficient with guns.

Building one from parts can be fairly cheap...my 1st Ar build which looked like a Vietnam era M16 was about 500$

As David said training with .22 is good or since PCC are more prevalent might be a better choice especially if u plan to buy a handgun.

If your going to build an AR I suggest a PSA upper of your fav flavor, DPMS parts kit and a Lower from Andersons.

If your looking for a complete AR15 and you don't want to build one...lookup these up.
