Geez... chill out OJU. I have a bunch of different types of rifles: 30-06 deer rifle, .44 mag Marlin lever, .22 rifles and yes an "evil" "plastic" AR15.

I have NEVER had ANY issues with my RRA AR15..... I mainly shoot cheap azz Wolf and Brown Bear russian ammo. I never had any problems with my old beat up Vietnam era M16 I shot in basic training either.

I have no doubt that they could indeed have problems out in the field once a week or two of dirt/dust/sand crud gets in them.

That said.... an AR in .223 makes a fine varmint gun (as would a simple bolt action .223). An AR however can also handle large cheap mags and can double as a home/property defense and a fun plinking/range weapon and is easily outfitted with a light and various types of scopes.

I think the haters go a bit overboard every time the subject of AR15's come up.... Reminds me of Sniper who hated every handgun known to man other than his squeeze cocker.
