Mad Dog, you and I may disagree on the .505 Gibbs, but we can reach across state lines and shake hands on this one! Really, I don't "hate" the ARs, but I certainly don't like them. There are a lot of other rifles out there that I would buy before spending the money on an AR. Recently, I was looking for my first .308 semi-auto (battle rifle). I was looking at the AR-10 (no, it hasn't been in combat). I just could not get more than 5 out of 100 guys to say that it was reliable. I'm glad I bought the M1A. Now, I think I'll go an stare at the M1A, the FAL, and the AK in my safe...they all work great!
