    lots of accurate .22 without having to look like a military piece of crap - begara CZ Anschutz Remington Tikka Sako - take your pick - range duty so trigger comfort - size - all have a role to play - does not have to be military looking in fact best not just a damn good accurate rifle- I am gob smacked that anyone in 2025 would introduce young people to shooting with a an AR look a like where is your head

    Doesn't have to be military lookong no, but why can't it be military looking?

    A lot of firearms interest lies in military history etc.. especially in younger people, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    I know the guys question was specifically asking about an AR platform.

    Beavis is correct it’s the stock standard Tippman m4 (with a trigger upgrade).

    I have to awnser that - negativity like that do we need it no we dont - so just as you say look once in a blue moon - my point is we live as firearm owners in an age where we are fighting for the right to have them - the anti firearm brigade is exceptionally strong and any excuse we are the losers- why give them ammunition against us - just because its a .22 does not mean anything to them - its a military style semi auto in their eyes - no matter how functional accurate or fun to use - why give them any excuse to have a case against us as a legitimate firearm user - we dont need it we have an uphill battle as it is -make absolutely no mistake about that

    The anti gun brigade will find any pretext, a long rifle with a scope and a can will be branded as a high power sniper rifle don’t fall in their game…

    Dude I don't even feel like you are intelligent or reasonable enough to have a conversation with, you are aren't fighting for the right to have them with an attitude like that. Like has already said you are a cock and firearm owners like you are the reason it is getting harder and harder to get access to firearms, if all firearm owners stood together in 2019 we may not be in the situation we are in now, but people like you were like nah as long as I can keep mah bolt action 22 screw everyone else

    you are totally and utterly incorrect - I fought damn hard back then to keep my semiauto centerfire and abhor the way it all went - my point which seems to have been completely missed in calling me names is that the anti gun lobby want all semi autos banned - we cannot give them traction or ammunition and we dont as a group stick up for ourselves - the very low no of submissions is not going to do our cause any good - as I said read their propaganda and weep - the last thing we need is photos of kids with AR15 lookalikes and I will stand by that

    You probably shouldn't feel that way; that reactionary perspective has received no support from anyone on here

    Unfortunately you get the silent minority who "place" themselves in positions are more than willing to side line/exclude those who do not kowtow to them and their "my way is the right way" . And they hold sway by virtue that everyone else does not have the time to devote themselves to the task , so their pathetic backwards/arse covering attitude wins by default.
    And they abhor any confrontation because they know they don't have the support except from those they have managed to subjugate or fool .
