One of these days, I know I'm going to get a rifle chambered in .223/5.56mm... but y'all won't like my following statement:
It won't be an AR-15.
For me, the only thing the platform has going for it is its unprecedented modularity. You can switch from an entry carbine to a varminter with just a swap of the uppers... but that's all. I don't like the idea of a direct gas impingement system, I don't like the way it feels, and the whole idea of a buffer tube just doesn't sit right with me. Others love 'em, and that's fine... but I just can't seem to like it.
However, everything else is game. If I forget something, let me know...
And just because I can, here're some pics of the poll choices:
Ruger Mini 14
Armalite AR-180B
HK-53
VEPR
NEF
Remington 700
Bushmaster M17S
HK G36
