The AR-15 Is the best rifle ever created prove me wrong
>you cant
>>30594067
It has a shitton of small easy to break parts/springs and requires lubricant to actually function. No it's not, there's a reason only one country uses it.

You are amazingly ignorant. Amazingly.

Uh...

As big of an AK fanboi as I am I agree with your post OP.
It is the best rifle. Anyone who argues is probably pressed on outdated 7.62 rifles.
>>30594067
>>30594067
It am jammin tho.
>>30594078
>SHALL NOT BE IMPINGED
do you even constitution?
Lightweight, accurate, modular and can fire a variety of calibres.
Not perfect but its pretty good.
>>30594118
And as much as 'I' like AKs, you can go fuck yourself, capitalist pig
>>30594095
Oh it was used in conflicts funded by the US what a big surprise.
Nobody actually wilfully buys that piece of garbage except maybe 1-2 other countries. Meanwhile the AK platform is used in over 200 countries.
>>30594067
FNC, Stoner, Galil, SCAR, HK33
I mean if either of these were produced and sold to any country in a perpetual state of war like the US is and decades of refinement, it'd they'd do well. While the AR-15 is probably the best of all these platforms, we could do fine with the others.
>>30594075
Welcome to /k/ friendo
>>30594124
Pretty awesome but IMO Galil and FNC are better platforms
If you had to choose something that was not an AK or AR platform, what would you choose. Price matter not
>>30594067
>>30594187
M14
>>30594187
Probably a bullpup then? Probably Tavor over Aug but havnt done enough research on both.
Not sure really.
I wouldn't have built an AR-15 if I knew the end result was this much god damned tinkering.
Some people get by with super cheap ARs that work, some guys put together super expensive ones that work.
I ended up near the latter with one that doesn't work. Then I spent a few months diagnosing it and getting it right to finally have it shoot what I wanted without any jams.
I feel like a fucking recovering alcoholic when I say, 1 year jam free. Since I got it shootable 2 years ago.
>>30594277
What was the problem?
I thought I was gonna completely blow building mine but I managed to get it done with only an oil filter strap and a hammer. (Albeit CRAZILY overgassed, but I just tweaked the gas block slightly to cover up more of the gas port. It ran perfect afterwards.)

>>30594302
The gas block was misaligned, thanks to the nice reputable gunsmith in my area that everyone suggested I go see instead of doing it myself.
It was stovepiping even after.
Really saying a year is kind of hyperbole, I couldn't really afford to go shooting so it just sorta sat in my closet defunct.
Got an upgraded ejector spring and a proper buffer and buffer spring and it has ran fine ever since.
>>30594180
Be a use it was dumped in those places by the Soviets, or sold super cheap to poor as fuck countries.
Even countries that have different issued rifles still have their elite units rolling with ARs.
>>30594187
I'd probably choose something in a larger caliber (7.62x51, 7.62x54r, .30-06, etc.) for personal use since my threat model includes bears, mountain lions, and drunken marines in plate carriers (yay living near a base). Intermediate cartridges aren't killy enough.
>>30594598
Calicuck?
>>30594638
Further north on the west coast.
>>30594180
AK because it's cheap and mass produced slavcock sucker.
>>30594187
Ar18 count? No?
Well, I guess an hk33, more dependable and accurate than a mini 14, and with a simple claw mount, allows me to mount optics.
Or an AUG, the oldest bullpup still being praised for its...well, everything. For a bullpup, many people say the trigger is great. And of course with an integrated foregrip and (depending on model) optic, I certainly couldn't complain. Also the barrel change system is pretty damn neat.
As for op, I can't argue against your point. It's a great rifle across the board, and has a gigantic aftermarket, much like glocks. Those are the main reasons I often reccomend either of these guns for anyone shopping around for a new gun, since they're borderline musts in a collection. On top of that, caliber changes only require replacing the mag and upper, which is probably my favorite system since your optic likely stays with your upper, meaning you don't have to re-zero it every time you switch calibers. (Unless it's an eotech huehuehuehue)
All of the above (besides discussing other platforms) are reasons I'm looking to build an ar pistol soon.
>>30594181
>pretty awesome
>>30594700
Checkd.
Also, for some reason I like the look of the insas. It looks like some fallout shit., or something.
>>30594067
you claim it you prove it
>>30594187
A Mosin-Nagant or a Mauser.
>>30594075
You'll still get a shot ton of (you)s though. Hell this whole thread is bait to be particularly honest, person of blood relation.
>>30594067
I have several ARs and I hate these threads. Its a good introductory rifle to get nogunz into the world of shooting but there are better options out there for more experienced shooters. As a side note what is with all the nogunz cancer posting lately?

SR-15 but yes, the AR platform is the greatest rifle in the world.

Nice Honda. What's the retail on one of those?

>>30597124
because it's gud.

Because tires for a dually weren't expensive enough

We're talking about SOF. Fuck off with this budget faggot shit.
>>30594187
AN-94
>>30594187
One of the SG55x guns.
>>30594067
>first MCX shooting
>beats AR high score
Proved wrong, nerd
>>30597920
huh
>>30597938
High score is the mini-14, actually.
>>30597984
Well that just confirms the mini-14 is better than the mix, which is superior to an AR
>>30597992
OR
Mini 14 is the evilest babykillingest rifle.
Then MCX then AR.
>>30597992
No it confirms that the best mass shooter used a mini.
If he had an AR he would have killed everyone in the city
>>30594187
Obviously a SCAR
The problem with the AR and AK is that they are both such great rifles that they've drowned out the competition when it comes to 5.56 firearms.
Everything else is a bullpup or something special snowflake like the Sig rifles.
SCAR is all that's left in intermediate calibers and because of that if the SCAR was not an option I'd pick a FAL.
>>30594277
Everyone says build your own but if you just want a nice first AR without any risk of heart ache a complete rifle from Colt, Daniel Defense, or BCM is an excellent choice.
>>30594188
The FAL is worse
