that was my thought 'here we go' , ammo sharing and parts compatibility among 5 million AR15 that are supposedly privately owned in the USA plus easy breakdown , common magazines and accessories and about 800 dollars will get you a new one . M1A is fine , I like it especially in the 'scout squad' in Walnut especially but I still think that the AR15 in any configuration can be called the Musket of the 21st . Same reason I liked the 9mm glock , its a common military ammo and pretty cheap and there are lots under private ownership so parts interchangeability is good as well as ammo .
My main interest in shooting started out with hunting. That is why I tend to like bigger calibers. The .223/5.56 is a pretty puny hunting round, unless you are shooting varmints.
I have no issue with the AR itself. I owned one and rigged it up as a coyote rifle, with good results. But someone offered me more than I had invested in it, so it went away. lol
