Another of our weird regs concerns AR-15s. If you buy one fully
assembled, it has to be one of only a couple of HBAR models. You can,
however, buy a fully assembled lower.

I guess I just never had the "black gun" thing.
I like wood and full power 30 cal if I am buying a center fire rifle.
I understand the attraction for the military but I am not packing 600
rounds into a fire fight, nor is my intent to inflict grievous wounds

Right, because everyone knows a 30-30 or .308 won't inflict grievous
wounds. I like the AR platform because the rifles are easy to customize
and maintain, and, for me, at least, they are accurate enough and, of
course, I only inflict "grievous wounds" on plastic and aluminum bottles
and cans and paper target. Besides, .308 ammo, American-made in brass
casings, is twice as expensive or more than brass-cased U.S.-made .223
REM ammo, and 30-30 Win is even more expensive.

You brought up 30-30 but 308/30-06 is the round of choice for snipers
who want one shot one kill. The 5.56 is designed to take the guy out
of the fight but make him a casualty who needs 2 guys to care for him.
(western European thinking)
That worked until we started fighting people who didn't give a ****
about a wounded soldier.

Price? I can get 7,.65-51 for about the same price as 5,56

The m16 was for close in work, lighter to carry, and did not climb in auto
fire. Not worth **** in open area battles. Need that 308/30.06 range and
power there.
