Hey everyone!
I finally pulled the trigger on getting into the AR game. I have been an AK fan from the beginning but I had the itch to buy a new gun do I decided to go with an AR platform. Just to see if I like it more than my beloved AKs.
So... Little to no experience with AR's and AR ammo.
I know there is a difference between 223 and 5.56, from what I gather most use the .223 for the range and the 5.56 for business.
Will using .223 hurt the barrel? Am I going to have issues running the cheapest ammo I can find at the range like with my Aks?
What is a good "home defense" round/brand/type for defense use?
What's the biggest difference I will see between the AR and AK platforms?
Any other tips/advice for my first AR?
