I've also heard good things about DPMS, but I know next to nothing about ARs which is why I'm on this forum. I also have some stupid questions, so please be kind...BTW, I have tried to find the answers on my own, but couldn't find them. Soooo...here goes:
1. If you can shoot .223 with a 5.56, why do some brands (ex. S&W) list their models as 5.56 or 5.56/.223?
2. What is the best type of system (ex. gas, blowback, etc.) and why? This has been the hardest information to find. It seems that everyone just assumes that we all already know this stuff!
3. Would most of you agree that a chrome lined barrel/chamber is good to have?
4. As you've probably figured out, I don't yet have an AR, but it will be my next purchase. I want to take my time, know what I'm doing and get the best gun I can afford, even if it means waiting awhile. So, if money is no object, which AR would you get and why?
5. If money is an object, which AR would you get and why? I'm asking these questions to help me decide whether to buy now or save my money for a better AR. It will PRIMARILY be used for HD.
6. Which ammo is more inexpensive...5.56 or .223? I do know that I want a 1:8 or 1:9...probably 1:9. Definitely NOT a 1:7.
7. Which ammo do you prefer to use....5.56 or .223 and why?
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!
