Why do people love the black rifles so much ?
Dan W:
It's a tool. It works well.
Beauty...not a high priority to me.
I have a $6,000 Ljutic trap shotgun, uglier than sin by most peoples thinkin. All it does is crush targets. Over a million I would guess in the last 45 years.
My AR's are just as efficient, as are my Glocks.
You might be picking up on a theme here.

I wasn't a fan until I played around with one. Now I have one of my own and absolutely love it.
It's accurate (granted, not as accurate as a good bolt gun, but darn good for an autoloader). It's modular, so I was able to set my rifle up exactly like I wanted it. Set up correctly they're extremely reliable - don't believe all the BS about them being jam-o-matics. To top it off, it's probably the most versatile rifle out there. Pull two pins and swap in a new upper and there's not much you can't do with an AR.

I had one that grouped better than any bolt rifle I have ever owned, JP 20 inch with low mass bolt. Play with an AR a while and you will catch the BRD also.

Trucks, women, guns; proof that everything is sexier when you dress it in black!!

As mentioned before the AR platform is like LEGO's for adults. I can literally build one from the ground up. The only thing I need to transfer through my FFL is the stripped lower receiver. Every other single part I can order on line and have it shipped to my door. There are a ton of parts to allow you to customize it any way you want. If I don't like how it's set up I can literally change it to any configuration I want. I can even change calibers. Your imagination is the limit when it comes to building AR's.
The AR platform has become a hobby for me. I have built a 10.5" SBR, several 16" carbines, 18" and 20" rifles. No gunsmith required. You can do it all at home with a few inexpensive tools. What could be more fun than building your own guns?
My lever actions and bolt guns rarely leave the safe anymore........
