I know that these days many gun owners love their ARs and prefer them to anything else as a do-it-all/jack-of-all-trades/practical rifle.
But if you couldn't have an AR - if they just didn't exist in the civilian market - what would you have instead? And why?
[This isn't about a gun grab, it's just a thought exercise. So there's no need to get all political.]
As a thought exercise, let's assume some levels.
1) The AR-15 was never made for civilian use but standard capacity semi auto detachable mag rifles are still available - CZ BREN 2, or a CheckpointUSA vz-58. Mini-14 but only the newer heavy barrel version.
2) If detachable mag rifles were no longer available, but semi auto is still kosher - SKS. I just like the dadgum things.
3) Semi auto is not available, but bolt/lever is, CZ 527M in 7.62x39mm or 5.56mm, Enfield No4 Mk1*, or any good solid lever in 30-30.
