Whats your Assault Rifle of choice

M1A Scout

The sproing puts me off the AR...is that an unavoidable feature on those rifles or can you get one with no perceived sproing?

 

[foghornl]

The AR-xx is a good platform..solid design, fast caliber change by switching uppers, etc.

I prefer something with a bit more "Thump!" on the receiving end, so I'll stick with my US Rifle Cal .30 M1 The Garand in .30-06.

 

[MD_Willington]

Saiga or AG10 (Saiga from Arsenal Nevada).

With minor mods you can use standard cap magazines, and the PC magazines.

The .223 version now has a US made AR mag adapter available, and they still look more like a hunting rifle...

 

[Ben Shepherd]

I reccomend an AR-15 or AK precisely because "everybody" has one. There are more complete guns and parts/accesories for these two platforms floating around out there than all the other platforms combined in the United States.

Asnswer these questions:

Which high-cap mags DIDN'T see a massive price increase during the 10 year run of the AWB? And WHY didn't they?

TonyDedo Get an M14/M1A, put it in a Troy Chassis:

If you want a TROY M14 MCS stock for your M14/M1A make sure you purchase it from Tony at LAW483.com.
Tony was very instrumental in the design and development of this stock, he knows it better than just about anyone.

I had a few of the TROY stocks, but I am more familiar with and prefer the SAGE EBR stock for my M14s.

My personal choice for a semi-automatic rifle, based upon a military design, and accepts 30-round magazines; is the AK platform. It's a rugged proven 60 year old design that just repeatedly goes bang every time. Not as pretty and sleek as the AR platform, but it's my preference.
Kinda like why I drive an old Jeep instead of a new Escalade.
OH yeah....+1 on Winchester/Marlin/Browning/Henry/etc leverguns too!

 

[H2O MAN]

I prefer Homeland Defense Weapon ~ (HDW)

I prefer to refer to mine as simply an effective sporting rifle with which to efficiently cull a large group of feral swine. The wild boar population is growing in my state and who knows when one might run into 20-30 of them at once? Okay, so it's action is based upon a military rifle....what sporting rifle's action is not?

I forgot to answer your question... in order:

1. M14 with an 18.0" barrel
2. 7.62x39 AKM with a fixed/collapsible stock
3. 5.56 AR with 16" mid length gas sytem

No the Vertitcal Forend Grip is not a ATF permit piece it's just a add on. Your state local laws may prohibit it but not in the Gun loving south. Special Permit Required?.......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does one need a special permit to install that vertical foregrip that is attached to the lower rail?

I thought one was needed (some sort of ATF stamp or something), but I'm just checking.

I don't have one, but I may know of someone who (I think) does have one.

 

[againstthagrane]

i want a tavor. i would never buy something made in israel though.

 

[Gun Slinger]

I prefer the Arsenal SA-M7 and SAS-M7 series AK-47s.

All of mine run flawlessly and the 7.62x39 is a serious intermediate battle caliber.

 

[freonr22]

i would really like a bar 1918, but in california, so it will never happen

[gandog56]

It still gets me when someone calls a semi auto rifle an assault Rifle.

 

[KBintheSLC]

I prefer a high quality AK... Yugo, Russian, Israeli, Bulgarian, etc...

Spend $600-1000 on the rifle and invest the rest in ammo and mags. Its the only rifle you will ever "need".

You probably meant to say...

Semi-Automatic sporting arms that may or may not have an appearence similar to some military, Police or fantasy firearms.

A true Assualt Rifle, from the german word "Sturmgewehr" (Storming Rifle) is a select-fire military weapon using an intermediate powered cartridge.

 

[freonr22]

well

i guess the bar wont qualify in true form as they are not select fire, BUT they sure put up a heck of an assault!

 

[barry960]

I'm surprised if there isn't a California legal variation out there. It would have to have a fixed 10 round magazine, and then converted to be loaded from the top, possibly with stripper clips, am I right? I've seen a variation of an FAL/L1A1 type rifle like this.

 

[BADUNAME37]

I don't have an assault rifle....

I have a semi-automatic, but it is not an assault rifle.

I use my SEMI-AUTOMATIC rifle to hunt deer and black bear with 5-round magazines.

 

[Rifleman 173]

I've put together an M-4 carbine type firearm that shoots the 7.62 X 39 cartridge. I'll have the M-4 carbine ergonomics to use while shooting the bigger, more effective 7.62 cartridge. A while back I was looking at a video of the Finnish Army in training. They were using what looked to be Valmets in 7.62 X 39. The Valmet is a higher quality AK-47 type rifle. The video showed the soldiers going through training, engaging targets and shooting through walls with their Valmets. It was a neat video to watch and got me thinking. Preliminary research indicates that I should be able to get 1 MOA out of my new toy and it will have better punch that the wimpy .223 poodle shooter round. Some tests show that the 7.62 X 39 cartridges will zip right through some steel plates that stop the .223 bullets.

the ar series

 

[gunseller2]

A good quality Ak-47 style rifle with a lot of mags and rounds. Kudos to those who correct those who incorrectly use term "assault rifles". Education will never be more important than it is today.

 

[brasskeeper]

Prepster I've often drooled over 1873 Winchesters, America's original assault rifle.

I Think that I have one of the original "american assault rifles". I have a Musket made in 1861 and was used in the cival war
