4 Advantages of the Modern AR Rifle Platform

By

The AR rifle platform has come a long way. The Block 2 M4, for example, featured major improvements that shooters still enjoy today, from a new handguard to better modularity. The modern AR platform offers functionality that early versions, like the M16, could only dream of. Here are some of those advantages and features.

Versatility

The AR platform is incredibly versatile. You can use it for target practice at the range, tactical drills, and high-stakes competitions. Or you could use it for long-range target shooting. You can even use the larger caliber AR10 for hunting, giving you easier follow-up shots than a bolt action rifle.

The AR platform performs in a variety of applications, but can also be purpose-built for specific scenarios. Keep it in your safe and bring it out when you head to the range, or keep it in your truck as you ride around your farm to help protect your livestock from predators. Whatever the task, the AR is up for the challenge.

There Are Plenty of Parts Available

You can buy a pre-built AR or piece one together from individual parts. Start with an AR15 upper receiver and pick out parts and furniture to fit your needs and preferences. You can even replace individual parts of the upper, such as the bolt control group, trigger, handguard, and barrel.

A wide range of options helps make your AR truly yours, letting you customize it for your needs and wants. Plus, as your shooting preferences change, your AR can evolve with you. It’s a great platform for modding, and there’s always something new to try, so you can make your AR truly yours.

9MM PCC

A Variety of Calibers

Because of the AR’s popularity, you can find them in a variety of different calibers. There’s the classic 223/556, but you can also find ARs chambered in 308 for hunting big game. If you want something light and easy to maneuver for tactical drills or competitions, try going with a 9MM PCC, which is the size of a standard AR rifle but with a smaller mag to hold 9MM rounds.

From 300 Blackout to 260 Remington, you will find no shortage of available calibers to help you dial in a rifle for your needs.

Easy to Use

Finally, modern ARs are easy to use and a joy to shoot. The controls are intuitive and feel smooth, whether you’re charging the bolt with an ambi charging handle or dropping the mag.

Plus, ARs operate generally the same from one model to the next, no matter the manufacturer.
It’s that familiarity that makes the AR such an approachable and popular rifle. You can start with a lower-tier model and then upgrade to a premium version and have the muscle memory to operate the rifle with precision.

How much thought do you put into your range targets? You likely think more about the firearm you’ll shoot or the type of ammo you’ll bring. However, range targets can have an impact on your overall experience. Your options may be limited at an indoor range, but if you’re shooting your M4A1 at an open land range, there are several target types to choose from. Here are four to consider. Run Various Drills with Different Paper Targets Paper targets are the most common target type. There is a wide variety to choose from, whether you’re looking for a classic large bullseye or a target meant to help zero a scope. Another classic is the MOA 1-inch black square in the target. With the target 100 yards away, you’re shooting at one minute-of-angle. Missing a square by an inch at 100 yards means you need to adjust 1 MOA in that direction. Most scopes have 0.25 MOA adjustments, making the math pretty easy to figure out when you need to zero the scope on your Mark 12 rifle . Whether you’re shoot...
