If You Could Would You Buy an AR-15 Rifle?
I would, but would you? AR15’s are huge Stateside right now, you can get so many different variants in different cartridges its not funny. If in Australia you could own one legally would you have one? If so why? If not why?
I think it would be great to own one it would be so much fun! I’d love to own a heavy barrelled varmint version in .223 or 204 ruger. It would be huge amounts of fun. Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be getting one of these puppies shortly:
The above rifle is an Remington R-15 VTR and comes chambered in 223rem. It has a 24 inch heavy barrel. Imagine how much fun one of these would be sitting over a big rabbit warren system?

I would absolutely have one if we were allowed. I like the idea of being able to make all sorts of mods to it. Heaps of fun.
absolutely no questions I would love to be able to own a Ruger SR556
I like the idea of being able to customise the rifle very quickly, and with out having to send it to a gun smith for most things
the lack of recoil that these modern sporting rifles offer
not only would I use it for hunting I would use it in competitions like 3 Gun events and Combined services
well i cant see why we cant have one i mean you can probly get one with a cat D or C most likely D due to magazine sieze and as long as it doesnt have one of those tactical jobs for a stock and that it is legal just have to go to a gun shop and get an offitial opinion
Bloody oath I would……i’ll take a LWRC SPR, a H&K 416 and a…………..etc.
I’d need a new gun safe that’s for sure.
I’d love to have the option to purchase an AR type rifle.
Just because they visually look like a military firearm doesn’t mean they are any less capable of being used for legitimate purposes.
Looking ‘cool’ (or similar adjective) doesn’t make a firearm any more dangerous than an ‘ugly’ or ‘plain’ firearm. So what is the problem with an AR?
Definitely, no1 there are definitely legitimate reason one would have to want to own one of these, and no2 i have to say the kid inside me also does enjoy the idea of owning a semi/auto rifle.
If it wasnt for that horrendous massacre in 96 we would be able to own ar15s in Australia. considering how many idiots there are in america who can own one of these, i don’t see why Australians shouldn’t have that option, just because some stupid idiot was dumb enough to sell a semi-auto rifle to an unlicenses and mentally unstable person.
hi all used to be an armourer in the navy & army. I was also a post 1939 collector. I have (in the past) owned many ar15s m16s ak47s (I built one in the early 90s (till martin bryant went nuts at port arthur) also owned bren, browing 1919a4,ruger ac556 all full auto. also built m2 carbine from parts. I have serviced many m16s and found that after many rounds the cast aluminium holes do flog out a bit and seen the hinge pin fall out while in use. With my limited experience (became a navy weapons mechanic 1975) I would choose a .223 galil (australia came very close to adopting this fine weapon. I am sorry that we cannot own these types of firearms but that was a knee jerk reaction by a real jerk john howard. anyway cheers all
used one both professionally and socially until they were taken from us in ’96 in the name of public safety (public safety my arse). When you hunt packs of pigs, goats, dogs, you name it, it’s to rid the bush of these destructive ferals. Not having access to one any more to hunt means a lot of them escape. I hate Howard for the lies he told the public about why “he” wanted them banned. It was all about a political agenda forced into the states by the threat of withholding federal money… true democracy at work! Damn you Howard.
