While there are the known downsides to the AR15/10 platforms, the amount of things available to dress up, change, alter, and be creative with those rifles is so far above and beyond anything else available with other platforms that it makes it crazy not to consider them first.

You can have a single rifle, with many spare pieces of furniture and different barrel, sight, optics, lighting systems that you would really be able to have any rifle you want with one lower.

I keep telling myself that, but the thing that has me concerned is that the AR10s don't have nearly the following at the AR15s... Maybe there is a reason for that. The AR10s seem to have always suffered from reliability problems.
