The larger calibers also kick a lot more and aren't as fun to shoot. But yes ammo prices also help make this a favorite platform. I think of the AR15 as the adult version of a .22 LR rifle. I grew up target shooting with my .22 Marlin. My stoner ass pawned it in Reno when I was a punk kid and I didn't go pay to get it back,One of the main reasons the AR style rifle is so popular is the price of ammo. It's a smaller caliber 223 vs 30 06 vs 308. Simple math, larger caliber ammo is more expensive to produce. Not to mention actually producing the AR style rifle. Most of the knockoffs are garbage compared to the Colt model.
equals greater expenses
And mine is a Colt,
