T4R. Should I make a lightweight, minimalistic SHTF AR build or a much larger and longer range, scoped, target shooting build? Should I do that, or maybe even make a longer-ranged minimalistic SHTF AR?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Why not one that you can swap so it does anything?

That is easier said than done. You can't just go and convert an AR from one purpose to another without very special and expensive parts.

Make or find a better design that focuses on adaptability and allows easy swapping of barrel lengths and calibers.

I don't have a money tree in my back yard. Swapping barrels on ARs is a process that you can't do without tools and a workbench. And systems that allow for quick barrel changes are very new and expensive, with very specific requirements. If I wanted all those things, I would have gotten a difference rifle that already allows for that kind of thing. I'm building an AR, not some space gun.

I guess it refers to the gun nuts on 4chan. I don't know, don't go there.

I'd personally go for the most versatile setup rather than limiting yourself to one or the other.

SHTF is a more or less versatile set up. It's pretty self explanatory. SHTF is an all-purpose rifle. I would go with a minimalistic and durable design. The other target option is a much more specific role.

I do not see why it cannot serve both purposes.
Because if I make a SHTF AR, it will be shorter in length, not have a scope, minimalist furniture as opposed to the full A2 stock, longer barrel, scope, and heavy duty furniture that would be on the target AR.

Depends though, yanks seem quite fond of SHTF preparations so it would suck to be the only guy not ready for the impending apocalypse <.<

Now that I think about it, here's the thing. If you make a SHTF AR, then you probably won't be using it unless SHTF. That means if you save up money, then later on you'll be able to get a proper target shooting AR(or something else for target shooting if your mind changes, or if something new comes up on the market). If you actually care about the SHTF scenario, then you'll be prepared, and able to save up funds if you aren't using it too much.

Of course, this is all null and void if you already have a shit ton of .223 and the range you'd go to doesn't charge anything.

Having a SHTF AR does not mean I won't be shooting it. I can still shoot targets with it, but the gun won't be purpose built for it.

If you are missing with an AK in a gunfight, it's your fault, and not the rifles. Accuracy with an AK as compared to an AR makes minimal difference unless you are trying to pull of precision shots. You sound like you get your fucking gun facts straight from CoD.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in my MW3 clan, and I’ve been involved in numerous team deathmatches on teams from all over the world, and I have over 3000000000 confirmed kills on my ktd ratio. I am trained in guerrilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US server of MW3. You are nothing to me but just another female gamer. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across my gaming forums and youtube and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytimebecaue my four x-boxes are always running, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my ballestic knife. Not only am I extensively trained in backstabs and grenades, but I have access to noobtubes and aerial strikes and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the x-box server, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo. Say goodbye to your ktd.

I've never had an AR jam with live rounds... that includes the old as fuck A2 that was put though some shit when I was in basic.
Then you haven't shot enough.
Meh,  enough to know that it doesn't happen a quarter as often as people seem to think. But then again, there is my brother who somehow, through the wonders of lowest bidder magazines, managed to get a goddamn triple feed during his first qual round.

Throw blanks into the thing and you jam more than the first round XM16's though, lol.
