Thread: Views on Straight Pull ARs

A common justification people have for not buying them is the fact that they can buy a budget bolt action like a Ruger American or a Howa Mini or a Mossberg MVP for a fraction of the price. While this is true, all of these guns IMO are junk (after owning and shooting them). Well the Howa's are generally alright but the mags are trash. I think most of it is just cope - guys don't want to be reminded constantly of what they lost in the buyback, and they would feel like cucks using a straight pull AR type rifle. Which is fair enough, but don't try and justify your purchase of a poverty rifle by denigrating the purchase of a nicer gun.

How do you find the GBC is it a heavy or lite barrel?
