I like the AR platform but I'm not a big fan of the "mall ninja" super gizmo attachments that are so popular now.

I have a few AR's but shoot a couple more than others. For hunting I prefer a flat top upper receiver with a short barrel. They are light enough to carry afield and I can add a scope to it or attach the carry handle with iron sights.... what ever I feel like. I don't need super accuracy out of them just good enough for yotes, rabbits, whistle pigs etc...

For plinking give me a lightweight carbine all day, throw in a .22 conversion kit and it's loads of fun all day.

I'm a big fan however of the old school A1 configuration...way cool!

Simple, lightweight A1 upper with Colt pencil barrel and iron sights
the rest of the crew...
