Good Morning,
My good fortune has lead me to an interesting question. I recently purchased 2 new AR's. The first, a Sig M400 Tactical Rifle with carry handle. It was purchased quickly after the Sandy Hook incident. The second was stumbled upon last week and is a Armalite M-15 A4 flattop without a rear sight. To fund the Armalite, I am in the process of selling my Bushmaster post ban XM-15 without a flash suppressor and a 20" barrel (currently on consignment at my LGS). My questions are numerous, so here it goes.....
1. My plan is to shoot ONE of the new AR's and keep the other in the safe for future trading or SHTF needs. Good idea?
2. Based on the specifications, both guns are decent, any suggestions on which one gets the easier life as a safe queen?
3. Should I pick up the consignment, keep it and keep both new guns as safe queens? (thinking not, but seeing how I am asking questions)
My main reason for only shooting one is the lack of availability of ammo. I have plenty, but really can't replace anything that I shoot getting familiar with my new rifle(s). My history is that I tend to become quite familiar with any firearm which I would consider for personal safety. When I bought my original AR, I fired nearly 1000 rounds through it to familiarize myself with the gun, its quirks and its operations. My main reason for selling the Bushmaster is I had to borrow some funds from my bride to fund the purchase of the Armalite. She has no issues and actually supports my gun habit, but I the funds I borrowed need to go back to the "future cruise fund".
Thank you in advance for any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated!!
