#AR15

The internet can't agree on AR cleaning schedules. You've got the "after every range trip no matter what" crowd and the "never cleaned mine, runs great" guys. Both are kinda wrong. Real answer depends on how you shoot and what you're willing to tolerate. Your rifle won't grenade if you skip a cleaning session. But neglect adds up.

The joke about Fudds is that they’re in love with wood-and-steel guns, think semi-auto functionality is a curse of Satan himself and that they poo-poo any caliber below the .30-06. And yeah, some of those things are true, or at least sort of, speaking from the perspective of a professional Fudd—and yet, this Fudd is here to tell you that you should hunt with an AR-15. Here are four good reasons to do so.

Ruger unveiled the Harrier at SHOT Show 2026, a redesign of their AR-15 platform. This is not a refresh or an update to the AR-556. The Harrier represents Ruger's latest engineering direction for modern sporting rifles, featuring new receivers, revised handguards, and detail improvements aimed at mil-spec compatibility and ergonomics.

We are in the run-up to SHOT Show 2026, and new product releases are starting to roll in. Ruger's lineup of AR-15 rifles is undergoing some changes for 2026. The new Harrier models replace the AR-556 family and include some updated features.

In a surprising pivot amid ongoing debates over gun control and hunting rights, the Swedish government has dialed back its aggressive plans for a compulsory buyback of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles. What began as a swift reaction to a tragic mass shooting has evolved into a more measured approach, allowing licensed owners to retain their firearms under existing permits while offering generous incentives for voluntary surrender.

When it comes to mobile firepower, few tools have stood the test of time like the AR-15. In the wake of the Global War on Terror (GWOT), the concept of the “truck gun” evolved out of necessity. Military personnel and security contractors required weapons that offered both close-quarters agility and extended-range efficiency — a tall order for any firearm. The legendary AR-15 is the platform that has not only met these challenges but exceeded them. Eugene Stoner would be proud.
