Sell my AR

[drgnrobo]

Thinking about selling my Bushmaster XM-15 AR , not because it jams or make me unhappy but due to the ammo crisis. Im considering buying a Waffen Werks AK-74 due to the lower cost of ammo & its actually available but already have 2 Ak-74 of other manufacturer(so have mags & ammo already) really have quite a bit invested in the AR & am pretty stockpiled on mags & ammo ,think I just hang on to it & wait out the crisis ?

If you are set for mags and ammo then I don't see any reason to sell it. Keep it is my vote.

I have both also, I think the cheap ammo for the AK74 could dry up at any time, and you can't really reload for it. I would keep both.

Keep it.

I'd keep it and invest in a reloader. All the craziness is going to blow over one day.

ONE teeny tiny stroke of the pen and the "cheap" imported surplus 5.45x39 is history. (Same with any other imported ammo)

That is a VERY real scenario.

That said, SOMEONE would produce it domestically if there aren't any more imports. Then it wouldn't be much less expensive than any of the 5.56x45 that's being produced. It'd actually probably cost MORE now that I think a bit about it.

All in all, do what you want. I wish I'd have waited until mid-January to have sold my WW AKm-74.

Sell it, I'll give you $50 for it... No?

I vote to hold onto it! It will either become more valuable or it will be shootin time again (I prefer lots of hunting paper)!

Yeah , Ive had it since 1991 & Im probably not going to shoot up my supply anytime soon so Ill just hang on to it.Just needed to hear some voice of reason & assurance.Never thought about an ammo import ban,all I buy is the surplus can stuff.Been trying to pick up some dies and going to work on some reloads,just gotta win a bid

You drive a hard bargain... $51?

Probably best to keep it.

Keep it! Reloading is the way to go.

Keep it. Being less specialized makes you more adaptable.
