If you want a pre built gun and cheap. Looks like the Collierville Academy might still have DPMS Sporticals in stock for $479. I posted a rebate where you get 4 mags and a cleaning kit. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/dpms-sportical-rifle#repChildCatid=1562503 Most guys would go with the PSA for the money difference though. The upper and lower I posted only requires you popping 2 pins in my hand to "build". You can be shooting in 5 minutes if it takes you 4 to load the mag....

PSA Upper http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-18-rifle-length-223-wylde-1-7-stainless-steel-15-m-lok-upper-with-nickel-boron-bcg-ch-516446834.html Lower http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar15-complete-classic-lower-5165447829.html Click them together. Roughly $545 shipped. Then just pay bgc and transfer. Psa has other options. I just grabbed these as in stock examples.

So how did it go?

Not so sure all prices are rising, but stock seems scarce some places. Especially the cheapest ones. I just got my first AR 5.56 pistol together right before this started. I have shot several ARs and found little difference. That being said, I rarely upgrade triggers or such. The stock gun usually exceeds my abilities. My suggestion would be to get a good middle of the road unit. If you need to swap parts out for better ones later, you can. Buy a $2000 AR and you can't exactly trade parts to a lower level to get a significant part of that cost back.

Horrible stuff that has happened, but knee-jerk reaction laws rarely do any good. It is like paddling your daughter because your son misbehaves. The ones pushing this stuff are the same a$$holes that have been trying to for a long time. They are just using this to push their agenda. The AWB2018 is ludicrous. All threaded barrels are banned on detachable mag semi-auto rifles. All AKs are banned. But there are a bunch of high end style shotguns exempted. Clearly an agenda.

I liked it, but dropped off after a point. Keep meaning to catch up. I call it "campy". Some of it can be a bit dumb, but still watchable. Better than a bunch of other stuff on TV. Anyone watched "The Last Ship"? I like it too.

Shovel Kalashnikov (or Dolomite appreciation thread)
Ronald_55 replied to GlockSpock's topic in Long Guns
I am starting to think Dolomite just has a gun as an accessory. Using it in a fight would be downgrading his effectiveness. -
Shovel Kalashnikov (or Dolomite appreciation thread)
Ronald_55 replied to GlockSpock's topic in Long Guns
Are you saying that if Dolomite fought in WWII, Europe would now be refered to as "The European States" of the US? -
Did not see this on Dpms' site so I emailed them. They say they have revised it to a free bag, not mags...not as good for me, but I guess better than nothing. Unless you are me and you bought before the new eligibility date of 3/7....D@MN! I may "have already mailed it" and see what happens.

Primary Arms Stripped Lowers $39.99 in stock for now
Ronald_55 replied to Ronald_55's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Yep. Hopefully it is just a momentary issue. -
No there is another reason for that......

At least Jadis got talking. I wonder what they were before too. Helipads are not normally put at dumps.
-
So does anyone else read it as by banning guns with threaded barrels, they are killing suppressors too?
-
Looks like the magwell is empty.

In case anyone is picking up some DPMS rifles, there is a gear rebate to get 4 free mags and a cleaning kit. Not a lot, but considering Sporticals are $479, it is not bad. So if you plan to stock up on some ( I might have picked up a model just in case), be sure to send in the rebate. Looks like you may have to submit via paper only. https://www.cabelas.com/assets/pdfs/dpms_4freemags_cleaningkit_springrebate2_5-1-18.pdf

Not able to buy ammo at Walmart past 9PM
Ronald_55 replied to tnvarmint's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Half the time Wal-Mart employees don't even know their policies, let alone law. One told me once that if you irritated him, he would refuse to sell you a gun. He said it like he had godlike power or something. -
The White House auto reply told me how hard he is working on the opiod crisis......

I have 5 lowers on backorder at Cabelas. We will see if it gets filled. Been on order for a bit. Probably pick up a cheapy DPMSthis weekend if Academy still has them. I will just leave it in the box.

I made sure to mention that Beretta and Barrett are both located in Tennessee and that this bill would hurt them and thus our economy. Corker is up for election this year. So is Roe. Heck if this thing goes as written my SR-22 with a threaded barrel would be illegal. The exempted gun list is huge, but next tgey will be trimming those down. Was there a list of exempted handguns? I did not see it, but I am on my phone.

Because you can... at least for now.
