Re: I don't own an AR. Am I alone?
I have 1 and my wife has a .22lr Colt/Walther type gun. I'm also not into the accessories and all that stuff. Mine is pretty much bone stock. It certainly is intimidating, I've looked into AK's and I have the same problem because I am not knowledgeable about them.

Re: I don't own an AR. Am I alone?
I like my Ruger AR 556 only mod. I did was put a Timney trigger and Nikon scope on it and if my eyes were better I wouldn't have a scope on it. Shoots 3/4 inch groups @ 100 yards with cheap Fed. Ar 556 ammo. Also was hoping the PGC would have made them legal for deer hunting, I would have been hunting with mine.

Re: I don't own an AR. Am I alone?
Around 2007 when I joined here I had no idea that the average person could afford such a rifle.
Even then, prices were pretty high for an off the rack carbine and I couldn't imaging paying "one thousand dollars" for a rifle of ANY type. I thought I would never own one - and then I was introduced to the world of "building" and AR15.
Hey, this makes it affordable!!! I still found it overwhelming and my first carbine was a build that used a complete upper - all I needed to "build" was the lower and slap them together.
That held me for quite a few years, but then I wanted another.
I learned more and was able to pick and choose the parts I wanted and just started buying a piece here and there and throwing the parts in a box until I had what I needed.
Then I wanted another... and...
This didn't happen overnight, but that's the beauty of it - you can buy them one part at a time - at your own pace.
I can still remember thinking "I'll never own one of those."
Hell, I always thought I was an AK47 guy! LOL!I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: I don't own an AR. Am I alone?
I have several. All purpose built. Designed to do one thing well and a couple for shit hit the fan. I even built one for my wife that weighs four pounds flat and have one in 22 for my daughter. I don’t even know how many I have at this point. 11 or 12 I think with three more lowers hanging out.
