Its not price gouging if people are willing to pay it. If they waited til now to buy they deserve it anyways. Same as every other panic that affects the completely unprepared. I don't blame these websites for making money while they can most of last year and this year they have had very little if any margins so they have to make money too.

Anyone who has passed on all this cheap ammo and gun parts and waited til now is an idiot. Yes I said it if you waited for the storm to come to "get prepared" you are an idiot and when it passes you will be an idiot saddled with ammo and supplies you overpaid for.

Me personally would choose as light as reliably possible 223/556 rifle...preferably of the AR variant. I wouldn't choose a 308 unless I was "bunkering". They are just too heavy...even my Adams Arms small frame 308 is heavier than I would want to carry over any long distance. Most engagements are typically over in seconds if not precious few minutes so I believe a rifle caliber would still be of great benefit over a pistol caliber and the versatility it offers in regards to hunting would also be a huge benefit. 223/556 is the obvious choice because ammo, mags, and parts are everywhere....at least in this country...and mexico lol. If I had knowledge of where the fight would be I would just avoid it if at all possible lol.

I voted for Trump and I think that more then gives me the right to gripe about his stupidity and bull-headedness. That doesn't mean I would vote for Biden or Bernie. Just saying he could quit being such a monumental ass and maybe listen to some people that actually know wtf they are doing. A good example is when he ran Jim Mattis out. Pure ignorance and stupidity on Trump's part. You think our military is better off without him? Or how about when he ran out Kelly or Kohn....the man could have really improved this country instead he only chooses to keep "yes men and women". How about his fight with Jeff Bezos and his underhanded way of screwing them out of that defense contract just because he got his feelings hurt. The smartest thing Trump could do now is to shut up and actually listen to the people that know about epidemics, health, and medicine. Let the people with actual knowledge of how to handle this crisis do their job. I am hoping this stock market crash has taught him that maybe his way isn't always the only or best way. Time will tell.
-
I wish he would shutup...I have not been more disappointed in him since the time he said "grab her by the p&ssy"....he really has no handle on the situation and hes too bull headed to listen to actual experts. This reminds me of George Bush during Katrina. and yes for all those who wonder i'll still vote for the bastard only because I cant fathom a better alternative.

That is awesome!!!

All of you guys saying you hunt for heritage and conservation need to buck up and use copper or just quit being full of sh*t. I mean it kills me that people will make fun of flat earthers and non-vaccinators but then completely ignore science when it comes to lead. "Science is only right when it doesn't contradict my worldview"....same thing as people picking and choosing what part of the bible they want to believe but calling everyone that doesn't go to church on Sunday a backslider.

Also as far as the TN constitution I am a follower of the United States Constitution....the Tennessee constitution holds as much weight as declaring Knoxville a sanctuary city or what have you...makes people all warm and fuzzy...doesn't mean sh*t.

What rights exactly are we born with? Running around naked? Taking anything we please? Assaulting anyone we choose? Wearing Clothes? Carrying a gun? Wielding a sword? We all have absolute freedom but seeing as how none of us own our own private island the government (local/state/national) tells us what we can do without penalty and what we can't. Your argument makes no sense though it sounds good when spoken aloud lol.
-
I never said you have to pass a class to own the gun...just to carry one outside of your home, work, car. You know opposing viewpoints and what not...and owning a gun is not a God given right lol (some people don't even believe in a higher power)...its a United States given right.
-
Some junk but also some pretty interesting stuff too....definitely lacking in the descriptions department but prices seem cheap at least for now...runs til March 15th. I have gotten some steals from here before and also you see some crackhead bids. https://powellauction.com/auctions/firearms/now-taking-consignments-for-next-firearms-auction/

DaveTN the blood on the streets will be on the hands of people like you!!! **Sarcasm** your probably right...stupid is stupid and things will probably be just fine either way but I just don't think its unreasonable for someone to have to take a class to carry in public that's not their home business or car. Just like I think a driving test is also very practical, a marriage class is a good idea, a license to do nails, run a business, and lots of other things but ya know im sure im in the minority...but I digress...
-
Dave a lot of adults don't realize you can't brandish a firearm...not to mention there are still some people that can't pass the 7yd shooting test (?!??!?) so for that reason yes I think a class is reasonable if you desire to carry in places not already legally allowed by the Castle Law(doctrine?).
-
HughD ding ding ...however I didn't realize they had been announcing it since 2018...damn vaporware lol
-
they can keep stupid people from carrying a gun in public areas that they were too cheap, too dumb, or too inaccurate to legally do when a carry permit was required....im for the enhanced penalties on theft I am not at all for permitless carry. I mean if you can't hit a 7yd target and pass a test where they pretty much give you the answers....do you really need to be hip holstering it at wally world?
-
The real winner is gonna be that PSA5 if it ever shows up.....they won't be able to keep those in stock.

Franken-PLR16 or how to make a lightweight 5.56 on the cheap
Magiccarpetrides replied to Magiccarpetrides's topic in Handguns
Haha that hammer spring did smack the hell out of my finger I’m surprised it didn’t draw blood!! I’ve seen some modified saiga handguards and some modified magpul options...I’ve also considered just modifying a Mako finger groove mag well as it’s honestly most comfortable and natural to bring it to my shoulder and grip it with my left on the mag well...whatever I do is gonna stay with the lightweight theme. This whole abomination was in the name of having a small “go bag” (though I ain’t going nowhere with my fat a$$ lol) style ar15 that was easily concealable but practical and inexpensive. It’s not anywhere as attractive as a Saint Edge pistol but it weighs almost a pound less with a side folding stock, is shorter, and can be fired with the stock folded since it’s a piston gun. -
Heres my thing...they don't need to enforce a ban on lead ammo...but as a hunter you should be responsible and care enough to use copper ammo...we aren't talking about high volume shooting so theres no good argument for "its unaffordable". If you don't care enough to make the switch on the hunt then don't talk about bs conservation or heritage since your a part of the problem hurting the ecosystem.

It’s the breast cancer awareness run Troy had lol...I actually like the follower is reddish pink...the doohickey can be removed though! total weight as shown with mag 4.92lbs -
Contact Sig and see if they will "make it right"...hopefully they wont give you some brass ammo only BS since no one buys a 7.62x39 to use high dollar ammo which they fully knew when they brought that gun to market....I know they went above and beyond for one of our fellow members on their p238.

Meant to add in addition to adding the stock adaptor and brace I also installed the MCarbo Allen Head Black Stainless screw set and most important the MCarbo Aluminum trigger Kit so she now has a crisp 5lb pull without the sponginess of the plastic trigger...it was interesting separating the bottom half down the middle...kind of opposite of how you disassemble an AR. The folding mechanism is the UTG AK Side Folder adaptor...shockingly robust as the reviews were very hit or miss. -
Got tired of staring at the thing...they are surprisingly easy to shoot without a brace and woo-wee what a fireball...but the triggers suck...tons of phillips screws look dumb, and lets just face it having a brace makes aiming easier...however one huge advantage to these is weight...3.4lbs stock....I still need to weigh it but even with the added kit I think im still at 5lbs or less....I got some other plans for later but im happy with its direction.
