1. I understand there are different 'families' of ARs. They use each other's mags, uppers, etc. Could you lay this out for me so an idiot can understand, please?
2. DI vs. piston. OK, I get the concept, I can read wikipedia . But what do you guys say is the better way to go?
3. Building vs buying: So, I get why someone would want to build: perhaps I'll be there some day. But it seems to me that to get a semi auto 308 with a decent mag cap (I do live in CA, it won't be over 10) there are few ways to go (and this thread I'm trying to learn about ARs not FALs and M1As). So if I buy one then I'll learn enough to know how to build one someday. Right?
4. Most important question: I'm a rifle guy. I take a rifle, shoot it, clean it, store it. It sure seems like the whole AR thing adds so much to the affair that it kind of leaves me, meh.... Am I just imagining more headache than is really there???
So, what I am after.
I want a 308 (love the idea that I can later buy the 358 win, 338 fed, 260 rem, and 243 win later!!!). Armalite = AR10: Bushmaster (?) = LAR 8: ???
Thanks,
Greg
