Hunting with an AR-15 is now a controversial issue, and in some states hunting with these types of rifles is not legal because they are considered assault weapons. In certain configurations that may be true, however, a camo clad, long barreled rifle with a scope chambered in .308 Win. or .450 Bushmaster is not any more an assault rifle than any other semi-auto rifle on the market. Dick Metcalf sums it up well as he wrote in the May/June 2008 Peterson’s Hunting article titled "Sporting ARs", “The AR platform is a hunting rifle [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and anyone who says differently simply doesn’t know history.”
There is no other civilian weapon system in the world that offers a hunter the versatility in configuration as an AR-15 type platform. Calibers, bolts, barrels, firing pins, springs, buffers, stocks, forearms, triggers, sights, uppers, lowers, magazines and even gas systems can be changed, upgraded or mixed and matched to the hunters liking. Most of the changes can be done at home by the gun owner with some simple tools. A hunter can truly pick and choose each component of his or her rifle and assemble it at home on the kitchen table, that is, if working on guns at the kitchen table is allowed! Complete rifles and components are not hard to find. All of the major manufacturers such as Colt, Bushmaster [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Remington, Armalite, DPMS, Smith and Wesson, Rock River Arms, and Olympic Arms sell everything a hunter needs to get and or customize and AR-15 type rifle.
The Controversy
Before buying and hunting with an AR-15 type rifle, be sure that it is a legal to hunt with as several states and countries other than the United States have strict regulations or outright bans on these rifles. Another legal consideration is that if an AR-15 has any M-16 parts in it, and some parts will interchange, it is considered a machine gun by the BATF and would require special federal permits to own. Just keep it legal and clean and the AR-15 type rifle is a reliable, versatile rifle for hunting all types of game. Good Hunting!

AR-15 Reliability
For years AR-15 type rifles have been a common sight in the hands of military and police personnel but only recently have the "black rifles" been seen entering the woods with hunters. This is controversial among hunters, however [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the AR-15’s reliability and versatility lends it to be a supreme hunting rifle.
When it comes to the AR-15, reliability is a designed trait. The AR-15 platform is no exception. These weapons function even in the harshest conditions and have thousands of rounds shot through them throughout their service careers. A hunter, even a rough and tumble one, probably will not subject an AR-15 to the type of rigors that it will see on the battlefield and thus will have a weapon that will operate reliably for years. The biggest problem faced with AR-15 type rifles is that in order for them to operate at maximum performance they must be clean and well lubricated. The gas impingement operation system used in most of these rifles tends to get dirty quickly and requires regular cleaning . Cleaning instructions will be supplied with new rifles and or can be obtained from the manufacturer. Complete cleaning videos can be viewed online at places like Expert Village Videos. These weapons can be a bit complex; however, once that is mastered their versatility can be realized.
