The AR15 is a phenomenal platform. There is a reason the US army hasn't replaced it, even with going through 2-3 trials to do just that. They are also more reliable than a lot of people give them credit for, I have but a couple through some horrible testing and they have come out quite well. Great build, clean and simple. You would be surprised how many people I have seen just completely over clutter their AR15, then they complain that their supposed 7 pound gun now weighs 10. I love the AR platform, but as of late the CZ Bren 805 and IWI X95 have been my go to rifles. I have also just fallen in love with the CZ Scorpion EVO that I SBRd. I am so broke now.
