I have owned my AR-15 since 1975. It looked more like a military rifle, then, as the auto switch was simply buffed over at the manufacturer. No one was afraid of them, then, and I knew many proud owners of one. Did I consider an M-16 (old name)? Yes. But the tax was high and I never needed an automatic rifle. I hunted with it, shot targets with it and carried it to work on occasion. Of course in those days, rifle racks in the rear window of pickups were common as well. And no one tried to steal them. Consequences were harsh.

I miss those days.

Do I get extra points if I used my Covid stimulus money to buy the parts for my AR-9? I use mine for USPSA PCC division. I built it on my kitchen table and I still can’t believe how easy it was to build.

I also have a AR-15 lower, that I plan to build a nice rifle around when I move to a state that is less restrictive than NY.
