Thread: your reason for owning a semi

I partake in shooting sports that only really exist because of modern semiautomatic rifles and economical factory ammo. Without either they will die.

I also own them as part of my collecting theme.

I also own and use them for hunting because of their ruggedness. The material and finish on my AR rifles, mean they can be effectively abused in the field with any worry of corrosion, cosmetic blemishes or devaluing. I shit you not, I have been in a situation where my mate was using a Sig 550 as a weed wacker to get us out of a 300m wall of black berry.
