It was just a couple weeks ago that ArtieS and I were at the gun club, shooting handguns.

After shooting, we were sitting, sipping some cold water, and discussing what kind of rifle I should go shopping for, to augment handguns and a 12 gauge for home defense.

Now, I’ll need an education re what components I need to add to this karma, to make the rifle.

I guess I should take it over to the rifle section.

First question, for a home defense rifle, what caliber do I want? Do I want to stick with the “standard” AR in 5.56? Or, go with pistol caliber, since I load 9mm. Is there such a thing as an AR in .45 ACP?

As you can see, my knowledge is pretty thin.

I have never even fondled an AR, much less shot one.

Congratulations V-Tail! You'll get all the help you need at Mason's Rifle Room. Glad you are getting the opportunity to assemble your first rifle. The fun is just starting.

It arrived today. Let the fun begin. Waiting for the parts kit. Some assembly required. These things do come with instructions, don't they?
