Nice guns. Can US civilians own those weapons?

Yes, all are civilian owned firearms.

I have a couple Mini-14s. Brilliant little rifles!

I want an M96, love the Stoner 63.

I'm pretty sure AUGs aren't legal, unless you mean the USR version?

I want one of those XCRs! I'd get a 16" 7.62x39mm barrel for fun and a 20" 6.8 SPC barrel for serious.

The AUGs are legal, yes, it's the USR version. But they are legal. ALso, Steyr is releasing their A3 model very soon.

Mini-14s are a blast, they're definitely a pleasure to shoot. Real accurate and real light recoil = lots of fun at the range and shooting gophers.

What's your favorite, 5.56?
