Agreed, but if not restricted, you can play with that one outside the range
For me, that the big +
That is true, no doubt about it. But as the posters above pointed out, you are stuck shooting your real AR only at an approved range, only with mags pinned to 5 rounds and last time I checked, 5.56mm was selling in the $600/ 1000 round range... bulk .22 sells for about $40/ 1000 rounds.... An entire afternoon of shooting is $20 - $40 instead of $300 - $600... That means a lot more trigger time in my books!
And you can buy a lot of toys for a "fake" AR with the money that you will have to spend on ammo for your "real" one!

Well you can buy a conversion kit for your AR.
BTW .22LR is about $60/1000 now
Good point. And it still gets you shooting cheap rimfire ammo!

Not if you have the chance to shop around a bit. But I guess it is more than $40/1000 these days... I just (yesterday) walked out of Wholesale sports with 2000 rounds of American Eagle 38 grain hollowpoints that were selling for $19.99/ brick of 400 rounds. I then stopped by the nearby Canadian Tire and bought a few boxes of Federal 525 round bulk packs for $21.99 each, but those ones didn't cost me anything thanks to CT money!

Agreed about the price of .22LR, 60$ + instead of 40$
But for me, the big point, is being able to shoot it almost anywhere
Federal bulk is less than $20 for 525 around here. As is a lot of other .22lr stuff. Nowhere near $60 a 1000.

Good points about the low ammo cost and non-restrictedness. Lots of guys with ARs that cost 10x as much as their 10/22s but still put 10x as many rounds through the 10/22.

Im thinking I should sell my AR and get the rimfire version, all I can find is 223 and not 556 nato.......
No kidding. Wally World is selling the 333 packs for $9.99 here. That's $30/1000, not $60. The most expensive brick I have seen locally is around $20/500.
Mark
hell you could buy the new norinco AR for that
yes but I couldn't take it out and shoot it in my backyard like I can if these are non-restricted....
For 4 cents a round! And with 30 round mags!
