I’ve largely switched over to an AUG, for its compact size. Ideal for gettin in/out of a vehicle, and working inside a home.
I bought it as a play toy, but very quickly found it to be the ideal ranch rifle for me.
In the case of the AUG, there are some aftermarket solutions to a crappy trigger. I installed a 2020 sear, and this vastly improved the trigger.
It will never be a AR match trigger, but it’s smooth, and much less heavy/gritty than factory.
