Why Build an AR-15?
I joined the military when I was 17 years old. That was also how old I was the first time I shot a real firearm. At 20 years old I purchased my first firearm. It was a bolt action rifle because I wanted a “hunting gun”. I love that rifle, but that was foolish reasoning. You can hunt in most places with an AR platform. More experience and knowledge has given me an appreciation for the AR platform. [Read more…] about Why Build an AR-15?

The Zastava M77 Sporting Rifle
Ever since my experience with the Saiga AK, I have liked the AK platform. It is easy to break down, dependable, relatively low recoil, and I have personally found them reliably accurate out to 500 yards. I also like that I don’t have to take my head off the rifle to rack it. Now you take that rifle, make it in .308 win/7.62×51, and give it wooden furniture. That is a rifle that grabs my attention.

The LF308 Battle Rifle AR-10
The first gun I ever bought was a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 win. Ever since that day, I have been in love with that round. It is my favorite rifle cartridge. Can it do everything? God no. It can, however, do most things I want to do. With that said, when I was looking at building my AR, I was originally looking to make an AR-10. I learned quickly that it was a lot more expensive to build that. Due to costs, I built an AR-15 instead. I never did lose my itch for wanting an AR-10 though.

My Experience with the Arsenal SLR106 AK-74 Rifle
Back when I was in my early 20s, I wanted to get a semi-auto “tactical” rifle. Living in California my options were limited. I could build an AR-15 or get a California compliant Saiga AK-47. I was fresh out of the Army. So, I decided to get the AK-47. That rifle was a solid shooter. I could consistently shoot steel targets at 500 meters. The biggest drawback for me was the “cheap” ammo was all steel. As I mentioned before, I lived in California. I was also working at a shooting range. I have put out more fires than I can count that were started by steel ammo. With the knowledge that I couldn’t shoot it as freely as I wanted, I sold the rifle to a friend of mine. With hindsight, that is a decision I regret. [Read more…] about My Experience with the Arsenal SLR106 AK-74 Rifle
