[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 2937004, member: 95344"] I hate being a party pooper but since this is a young person I feel compelled to say something. I learned from an old LAPD Investigator/ Rangemaster to limit how many rounds to put in any semi -auto firearm when it's a new firearm or new shooter. The reason being is sears can go bad and the firearm can start double tapping, triple tapping, or go full auto. For a new shooter this could be a very bad thing. Also with the gas port being closer to the face on a left handed shooter raises the danger of injury if there is a case head failure. Catastrophic failures on any firearms isn't pleasant. On an AR it can be fairly explosive. I'd suggest using or getting a decent bolt rifle in .223 over using an AR15 for a new shooter. We could all use a .223 trainer. Just my two cents worth from the peanut gallery. [/QUOTE]
