The su-16 is severely slept on as a budget ar alternative and a bug out gun

            But it’s quirky 🥺

            Nah I agree but like a year to even like six months ago you would be lucky to find an Ar in stock or not 200% above retail

      I don’t think so, it was designed as a light weight survival rifle and features an action much more similar to an Ak rather than Ar

    Looks nice! As a California resident I've got this list of candidates for what I'll buy when I have the money for a rifle, and I way prefer the style of grip here to the "pistol grip with an extra metal plate preventing your thumb from wrapping around" that a lot of CA-compliant ARs have.

      Yeah, the pistol grip thing present on a lot of ARs is weird. I even see it in the state I’m in right now that doesn’t require CA-compliance.

    Speaking of budget ar, what options do I have? Is the su-16 really the best alt right now?

      Meh ar prices have started coming down so you could probably get an ar for the same price if you put enough time into hunting down good deals, semi automatic shotguns have also gotten really cheap too
