“M14 for the win.”
I had an M14 for my 1st 6 months, then they took it away and gave me an M16, @#$%^& M16”

Longish but informative.
Seems that if you must have a “go bang” every time rifle in 762x51, then maybe an AR10 clone....
Having survived a few nasty events in my day, with an AR based weapon and having seen friendlies with AK platforms have catastrophic failures, I’ll sick with teh AR.
That said, i compete with a bolt gun for long range, across the course with an AR15 service rifle and games with M1, M1 carbine and M1903a3.
When things go bump, it is the AR carbine I reach for....sometimes in 556, sometimes in 450 Bushmaster.
