Fighting the anti-gun lobby with words (AR-15="Modern Sporting Rifle")
Saw this in an email:

One of the exciting developments with the AR-15 is the new calibers that can be used for hunting deer and pigs. |

I agree, I love my AR-15. What's in store for 2010? An AR-10!

A friend of mine has a DPMS Panther bull barrel AR-10. The thing is a tank. Very heavy. A reminder that the AR-15 was designed to be a light rifle....
Perhaps Venkman, you should look into the 6.8. After all, if you were going to be as minimalist as possible, you would just need the upper and some mags (uses same lower, unlike the AR-10). |

What do AR-15's typically cost, based on common calibers? And where is the best place to look to buy?

Luckily, the supply has loosened up considerably, and prices have started falling. The cheapest you can likely get an AR-15 is here: http://cmmginc.secure-mall.com/shop/...shop=1&cat=161 People have said that these have been good rifles. From the pic looks lilke you would need to buy a rear iron site. And scope mount if you want a scope. The cool thing about the AR-15 is that it is highly customizable, and part are interchangeable. They come in two halfs (upper and lower), and you can buy them separately. Building a lower half from parts is not too difficult. To buy a gun over the internet, you need to locate a FFL close to you who will charge a fee for transfer (usually $15-$30 or so). If you have the resources, I personally would not delay buying one, because there is always the risk that the democrats will try to ban purchase, or otherwise restrict them. The democrats previously passed an "Assault Weapons Ban", but that sunsetted under GWB. The current AG Holder is on record as wanting to bring back the AWB, as is BHO. To them, these guns are the tools of evil criminals, not upstanding citizens. They would have us only able to own bolt-action single-shot rifles, that can't be stored in our own homes. |
