First AR!

[Hoz]

Hi guys,

I picked up my first AR today (6.5 Grendel). It is pretty plain for now, I gotta save up some more mad money for the upgrades. So far, I really like it and havent even shot it yet. I think these are gonna be addicting!

Welcome Hoz,

I think, you'll like the Grendel. Why is the Rock River Lower labeled "Pistol Only"?

Thanks,

RR

Welcome.
You're right, shooting is when the fun starts.
Didn't they sell you a buttstock? I'd talk to somebody about that, just kidding but a little confused, rifle or pistol?

[Hoz]

I bought the pistol because I live/hunt in Wisconsin (shotgun area). It is legal for whiteytails as a pistol, not as a rifle. I will be buying a stock for it also though, just cant use it while hunting.

The DNR is considering dropping the shotgun requirement. A study statistically showed there is no safety value.

That law sounds pretty goofy,

you'll love it for sure. I've been shooting all my life and built two AR's and have plans for a third, I don't think it'll ever end.

"Shotgun only" has been on the books for as long as I can remember, mostly the southeast counties of WI. The thinking was a slug is safer in more populated ares because it doesn't carry as far a rifle round. Someone did a statistical study of deer hunting accidents for the last umpteen years and numbers didn't support the assumption.
