AR's the wave of the future....................

…,6.5 Grendel...

A small frame with a rimfire, .223, 6.5G, and short 300BO and .458S uppers and a large frame with .308 and 6.5CM uppers will be what I eventually narrow down to.

The projectile commonality between 6.5G and CM is worth it to me.

Ar's are a fad, flintlocks are the wave of the future!

 

[billtool]

thats incorrect

this is circa 1965 and civilian market AR15s have been on the market since 1963 at that point.

I’ll have one of each, please.

They are not a wave, or the future. They are the now, the present. The AR platform offers so many affordable options, compared to what we had the "good old days", A person with a scintilla of mechanical understanding, and the ability to read, can build a quality, accurate, reliable firearm. That did not exist in the good old days.

Like milsurps I can do without and I'm an old fart that never cared for either. I do have one AR left and if ya want to give me an SKS to keep in the shed........

Not beyond the realm of possibility, but probably not in my lifetime...

Sure… if you reload. The world is your playground. Nobody has really reinvented the wheel. BC’s are getting better with the new cartridges. But after seeing my buddy ring steel at 1980yds with a .308, just reassured my thoughts on marketing hype.

But BCs aren’t driven by cartridges, except on rare occasion with higher velocity. BC comes from bullet design.

Yes and no! Same bullet at velocities above a certain speed will yield only so much, but does degrade as it slows...............so, yes and no.

I think lever's should be the wave of the future and if not I'll stock up on all of them! Now if I could get a 338lm in a blr I might call it a day!

Westinghouse M-25 40-watt Phased Plasma Pulse-Gun is the future, if ChatGPT=Skynet…

According to some reports, in 2026 as much as 90% of the internet could be AI generated. I may have to trash my computer and phone.

The AR is a good platform. But it's been hampered by a glorified subgun round for far too long. Recent improvements in calibers have breathed new life into the AR. Too bad ARs in the useful calibers aren't as affordable as the subgun one....

 

[Axxe55]

as probabably one of the most popular semi-atuto rifles in production it's hardly a fad!

Glorified sub gun round? You seemed to have confused 5.56 with 7.62x39

You seem to have confused 5.56 with a rifle round. At least 7.62 can defeat barriers....

And drops like a ton of bricks at 300 yards. And what about barriers like level III plates?

Sucks so bad even the commies realized it and dropped it in favor of 5.45.

I understand what you are saying. But the 6.5cm, 6.5prc, 7mmprc and 300prc cartridges all utilize high BC bullets. When you tell me you are using a 300prc and not a 300win, that implies that you wanted a better BC. I think we could say that the cartridge is riding on the coattails of the ELD bullets.

We should thank god for Eugene Stoner, because could you imagine the shit show these would've ended up?

if you are worried about AI, you clearly dont know enough about AI to combat it.

I'm actually more afraid of those that won't believe it's AI.
