Why You Need an AR-15

Why have I decided to recommend an AR-15 versus other rifles? It is not that other rifles are no good or won’t work but because the AR-15 in the United States of America today is the most common rifle. Which means what?

It means that there are plenty of magazines ammunition, parts, components, and accessories. There are more components, parts, accessories, and ammunition available for the AR-15 than any other rifle that’s available in the United States today.

Also, because it is a .556 or .223, it has relatively mild recoil and it’s lightweight. That means that every physically capable adult or teenager in your family, men or women, should be able to operate this.

That is why, for the Patriot Arsenal, I recommend, as a rifle, the AR-15. Comment below with your favorite rifle.
