That's a great story. Personally, I like building things, so I'm naturally attracted to the AR platform. It's a DIYers gun. Also, if I'm honest with myself, I like utilitarian looking firearms because I think they look cool. I know, it's probably one of the lamest reasons to like a gun, but I've always been sucker for lookers, when it comes to women, cars, and firearms. One gun I almost bought in the early '00s or '10s was the FN-FS200 with the integrated scope. At the time they could be had for around $2,000. I lusted after that gun for years, but couldn't justify spending that much on a gun just because it looked like something out of science fiction movie, or video game. The integrated scope looked cool, but in reality was terrible. At the time $2k was a premium price for some 5.56 gun, there were lots of much better options at that price (in truth there still are). But as it turns out my reluctance was a mistake. The FN-FS2000's are stilling for twice the price today. My point is, if I'm honest, I like the AR platform because for a relatively modest price a person can build a rifle that suits whatever itch needs to be scratched, You don't have to be an expert gunsmith to DIY it. Parts are easy, not requiring a lot of skill to make them work together. And the AR platform just looks cool. |
