Thread: Why semiautos

One of the best features of AR15s was how quick and easy it was to change barrels for a different length, profile or caliber.

How many rifles can you buy a barrel off the shelf for $400 and change it yourself without needing a gunsmith?
Being able to have a featherweight 223, varmint 204 or a short 300blk with changing just a few parts is fantastic.

The ability to buy thousands of different parts or accessories to set up your rifle just how you wanted is somewhat mimicked in other rifles, but not to the same extent as on an AR platform.
