After 33 years I finally shot an AR pattern rifle again. The last time was in 1984, an M-16A1, and the SPROINNNNGGGG in my ear drove me cuts, so bad I swore off ARs ever since. Well, a shooting buddy on Monday had me try his carbine, a light handy little thing with collapsing stock, to show off the new red dot. I wish I could remember the brand names of either, but the thing I did note was 1), I hate the stock AR grip with that finger ledge, 2) that thing was easy and fun to shoot, 3), I didn't hear a single spring vibration in my ear, and 4), I wish he had told me it had a release trigger.
So now I am considering starting into an AR. Being a lowly paid state slave, my first thought are the bargain basement PSA blem lowers with the MagPul MOE furniture that they still have on their website for $150. Then I could save up for an upper of some kind.
AR gurus, your thoughts? Note, I am too fat and old to go play Red Dawn in the desert, so this would be a range plinker, coyote hunter and hopefully a never-used home defense carbine...maybe. I am not going to do a paradrop onto Skull Island.
