I just decided to start a new thread instead of crowding the shoutbox. This is about the ar-15 rifle, which is just the civilian version of the M16/M4 family of rifles. I am looking into getting one in the next two weeks and was wondering if anyone here has any advice on brands, bolt carrier groups, twist rates, etc.
As for Tony's comment, they are not illegal. The only difference between the ar and the M16 is the ar is only capable of semi-auto fire. The M16, which is capable of full auto fire is also not illegal. People think machine guns are illegal, but they aren't. The rub is that you need a class III license, have to pay a tax stamp, and have to be able to afford one. Due to government regulations, full auto guns can run you upwards of $50,000. So, they aren't illegal, but they are prohibitively expensive.
I know quite a bit about rifles, handguns, etc. but would still like any advice I can get. Thanks in advance.
