I am sorry if I am asking a stupid question, however, please, folks, help me out.
Okay, decided that I need "one rifle to rule them all" aka SHTF rifle. Main idea is to be able to use as many kinds of ammo as I can in one set up - 1 ergonomics. Yes, I can get 3 AKs, but they are heavier to carry around then either AR with 2 extra barrels or XCR with two conversion kits.
Here is the deal. XCR with two conversion kits will cost about 2600.
AR15 with two extra barrels, single TWN gas piston system that will be transferable between them and the M&A quick barrel change system (so I can use one upper) will cost about 1900.
Upper receiver 180
M&A Quick barrel100
Lower Receiver 229
7,62x39 barrel 340 (20 inch chrome lined)
5.56x45 240 (20 inch chrome lined)
5.45x39 270 (20 inch chrome lined)
Bolt assemblyx3 240
Bolt carrier 80
gas piston system 260
Charging handle 25
XCR is more expensive, however, caliber conversion is MUCH faster. HOwever XCR has only ONE company making spare parts for it. Neither rifle keeps zero after rebarreling.
AR15 with that set up will cost less. However changing barrels would take like 15-20 minutes. We still have rather fragile extractor.
Which is the better way to go?
