Mark Koernke discussed AR-15 rifle selection and construction on Weapons Wednesday, recommending affordable complete rifles around $500 from vendors like Vanya.US and Palmetto State Armory. He covered magazine capacity (targeting 100 mags per rifle), ammunition selection (emphasizing ball rounds in .223), and barrel preferences (favoring 20-inch over 16-inch). The show included extensive discussion of rifle maintenance, painting techniques, camouflage principles from South African conflicts, and cooling methods for sustained fire. Callers asked about stainless steel barrels and original AR stocks, with Koernke sharing personal experience building over a thousand ARs and M1As during the 1980s.
