assault rifles

[zeddm91/30]

I want to start saving for an assault rifle. i really like the AR 15's but they are out of my range. Any suggestions on a good assault rifle?

 

[MrWhiteRabbit]

Holy crap, someone sells rifles that can perform an assault all by itself?!? That'd be hella sweet, let me know when you find one that does that without human intervention!

Oh, I guess its going by the drive by media definition of "Assult-Rifles" Oh well, but some reasonable priced semi-auto rifles... Kel-tec SU-16C but good luck finding it... or maybe a Nice.. Ruger Mini-14.

AR15's not an assault rifle. You maybe able to afford an AR15 but not an M16A1

what's your budget?

 

[Topher]

Save your money for a good AR.
You will not be sorry.
You can build a lower up and then purchase a complete upper at a show or online.
Invest in quality because you really do get what you pay for.

Good luck.

Assault rifle = full auto or select fire military rifle like an M16 costing maybe ten or twenty thousand dollars and a federal tax stamp

AR15 = rifle

How about a Saiga? Available in lots of flavors - .223. 7.62 x39 , 5.45 x 39, .410, 20 and 12 gauge . Check out Russian American Arms web site. Prices are pretty good right now.

A good all around rifle would be Mini-14. The Mags are a little expensive, but if you get one with a wood stock and do have to defend you and your family, the wooden stock will help you with the jury. hehe

They are out of my price range too, however if I had the loot I would say M16 registered lower, about $10,000, but you can put any upper you want on it, and most any stock set.

Of course if you mean a semi auto rifle, there are many to be had, AR-15s can be had for as little as $700 new, and a little less used. You might find some romanian AKs in in the $400 range, a Yugo SKS or even a Ruger 10/22 for good cheap fun. At one time or another they were all considered "assault rifles" in a bill or law, so the term paints with a pretty broad brush. What are you looking to do with it?

You might wanna re-think the "home defense" idea with an AR, at least if you value your hearing. No WAY would I want to fire one of those in a hallway or closed room without ear protection - something I can gaurantee you won't be wearing at 3am when you hear a noise downstairs.

They're fun to shoot, but not inside!!!

Think shotgun or pistol.

What's your rifle experience level?

 

[Matlack]

You can find a good semi - auto rifle (AR)for about $600. But if you want a home defense gun go with a shot gun or a semi-auto pistol. These can be had for under $300.

 

[snavematt]

buget for you, I have a DPMS AR15 lower with a Tony's custom upper that I got for around $950. You should be able to get a full DPMS for around $750-950, just do not get a sportical model, they suck and look stupid.
If you want to spend more, go Colt, Ruger, Sig

An AK is also a good choice, but watch out, once you go EBR, they multiply just like Sigs do

Ok. I'll skip my obligatory idea to start with a 10/22.
