>>63900136To be fair I'd have never put this rifle together when I was new to shooting. I had to work my through owning and experiencing the limitations of shitrods over and over again before I accepted the pleasurable superiority of the AR. I now acknowledge it as the greatest rifle of all time (so far).
AKs, PSLs, FALs, PTRs, surplus bolt actions, and other quirky choices don't appeal to me the way they once did. I kept a single K98k in my collection as a historical piece and representative example. Everything else I have now is something I genuinely like shooting that gets out of its own way as much as possible.
