Ar-15

So, looking to purchase a Ar-15. AR-15s are often seen as high-dollar rifles, coming in at $1000, $1500 or more. This perception can lead the survivor on a budget to assume that an AR is out or their reach, and therefore exclude it from their survival rifle search, in favor of AK-47s, SKSs and Mini-14s. Fortunately, while there are certainly a number of very expensive ARs on the market, there are also a number of cost-effective solutions for those of us with tight firearms budgets. I do have a Mossberg .22lr tactical which sits on a Ar frame.


Some notable features of the AR-15 include:

• Aircraft grade aluminum receiver is lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant
• Modular design allows for a variety of accessories and makes repair easier
• Straight-line stock design eliminates the fulcrum created by traditional bent stocks, reducing muzzle climb.
• Small caliber, accurate, high velocity round
• Synthetic stock and grips do not warp, swell or splinter
• Front sight adjustable for elevation
• Rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation
• Wide array of optical devices available in addition to or as replacements of iron sights
• Synthetic pistol grip
