I almost purchased a lever gun this year, well at least I wanted one when I had the money but the gun wasn’t in stock. I finally gave up and put the money into another AR

In 2024 AR15s can be had for “knock-around the floorboard” of an old truck prices. There are a few tried and true alternative calibers if .223 isn’t your thing.

In another decade maybe something different, but today I have to say AR15 carbine in .223. Guns are cheap, ammunition is cheap’ish (been cheaper) and most are rugged and reliable enough.

I must add that I used to hate ARs. At some point I could no longer ignore the utility of them. You can even repair them with limited tools.
