Anyone here into firearms?

They are over pricey if you ask me. Plus if you need extra parts it would be hard to come by especially the HK or the scar. Well i assume parts aren't readily available.

HK416 piston AR is way over priced. I would get a LWRC or even a POF (which i own).

As for the ACR or scar i really like their ambidextrous features. Since i'm a lefty it would be really nice if other AR companies did the same. It would make it a little bit easier for me. Some do but not nearly as compared to scar or the acr.

I did hear there was a recall on the bushmaster where the semi auto were auto.

I like the 416 because its a reliable version of a weapon I am familiar with and tons of aftermarket support.

I like the Scar-L because it being lightweight and reliable while maintaining accuracy.

I like the ACR because it is everything I think I am looking for. I have followed this rifle since it was the magpul masada, but because it is such a new product...I have my doubts.

Any input?

Edit: As far as the ACR goes, I would have much rather bushmaster and remington didn't destroy magpul's amazing weapon...and maybe the reason I am drawn to the ACR is because I know what it was with magpul... Its the least likely option for me, and it really comes down to the 416 and scar-l.
