I was just never interested in the AR's.Howdy Greg. I just ordered ten 10-round p-mags just in case they let me keep an AR but ban the regular mags.
I wasn't either at first. Bought one during Obama panic 2, didn't like it, and sold it to a buddy. Then I decided I wouldn't mind one in .308 and build my own. That got me hooked and I built several more in 5.56 and liked them all but I went overboard and could spare some.I was just never interested in the AR's.
My first one just felt like a "toy" gun when shooting it. I'm kind of a recoil junkie so I liked the higher calibers of my old milsurp guns. Not to mention the wood and steel over plastic preference.Over 20+ years ago I had one . . . with in a year I sold it.
