I'm looking to get into shooting both rifles and hand guns but since i'm 18 rifles are what I have to start out with. I was wondering what would be a good rifle to buy to start off with to help me learn a bit more about the workings of gun? I want to start a collection of weapons and it is my goal/dream to own a very nice custom AR that I have built myself. However because I know so little about the workings of guns a lot of the upgrades that I have looked at for ARs look really cool but i don't know how they fit in with the weapon or what they really do. I don't even have the rail system fully comprehended. Do you have any suggestions as to a good rifle that could help teach me? I have only shot an old wooden stock .22, nothing fancy.
Also are there permits required for more powerful weapons like ARs and AKs and so on?
