>>688959You seem to believe that when an AR is dirty, it becomes less accurate.
This is how I know you know nothing about firearms.
However, you have somewhat of a point when talking about replacement parts in other countries.
The guy you replied to figured you were talking strictly in the U.S.
He was wrong in this assumption.
But you have to know that AR15 really are extremely popular and common in a lot of places in the U.S.
The police use them, the military use them, every redneck has 3 of them.
You are also severely underestimating their robustness.
Yes AKs are known for reliability.
Yes ARs in the 70s had a bad rep.
But the original faulty design is no longer used.
They still require more maintenance.
But the closed system does keep them running in dirty conditions.
And companies are coming out with parts that don't require lubing.
The modern AR15 is not the jammomatic it used to be.
I've owned 3 different types of AKs.
I used to be on the same boat as you.
But do more research.
