I never thought I needed an ar-15 til they told me they didn't want me to have one. I figured they had some alterior motive for this. Soooo....

That was my thinking when Obama was elected, so I went and bought an AR then. Got a folding stock, flash suppressor, and all the other good stuff they banned before. Would like to sell it now. Not my style. I like to hit stuff I shoot at. Jim

It's that silly folding stock I got on mine. Makes the gun wobble. Plus the length of pull is ridiculously short.
Maybe I just don't know how to shoot these guns.

No Its not you....... The military has them because they don't want to hit and hurt anyone downrange in light of all this political correctness. So they are made that way.

Jim Well, folks are built different. I'm sure you could build one to suit you or modify the one you have. Kind of the beauty of the breed, I guess.

Jim Sounds like you might need to trade yours for a useful one. Or just swap out some parts on it. As far as hitting what you shoot at, they are easily capable of less than 1 moa with a decent barrel and halfway decent ammo. If you are shooting bulk milspec ammo you shouldnt expect great accuracy from it. If you load your own, a 60gr nosler bt or hornady vmax should be accurate from about any of the twist rates. Nosler also makes a 64gr bonded protected soft point that is great for deer and such and feeds from the ar without deforming the tip of the bullet. WIth the amount of aftermarket parts available for these you can build one to do about anything you want. If there is something you dont like about it, there is probably a company that makes the part however you would like it. Get a freefloted handguard over a decent barrel with decent ammo, put a scope on it and if it wont shoot inch or less groups then the shooter probably just needs more practice. If you absolutely have to have a wood stock then get a mini-14 but they wont ever be as accurate as a decent AR. Whatever you decide on, be sure to have plenty of ammo and mags. I know too many people that buy an ar, get a single spare mag and buy 1000 rounds of ammo and think they are set. I ask them if they are gonna stop in the middle of a fight and load those two mags over and over?

Do most guys really buy the ars because they think they will be needed in battle? Do most people really think the second amendment is really about hunting or target shooting?

Do most guys really buy the ars because they think they will be needed in battle? The people that have to buy ars are usually ugly and single.
