I'm saving up for my first tactical rifle purchase. I'm leaning towards something like an AR or Sig 556, Bushmaster ACR.
I've found a S&W M&P ACR for $800, which is about half the price of the Sig or ACR.
I've talked with my dad and he's trying to convince me to go with AK-47, talking about reliability, larger caliber etc.
Just how much of a PITA is upkeep on an AR15 versus the newer piston operated ones. My dad says the DI is a PITA, but he's never owned one.
Here's the specific one I was looking at S&W AR15
Don't want anything too fancy, want to be able to put a red dot/ reflex sight on it and maybe a handle or something later. Will be used for plinking/home defense and just because I have the right to own one.
Thanks.
