Long story short, my brother is a gun guy. I’m a sports guy. He finally talked me into getting an AR. After going to several stores today, I finally found a lower receiver and ordered a kit and he’s going to build me one. Democrats are the best gun salesmen. Looking forward to trying to find ammo now.



P.S. It’s already been lost in a boating accident sadly.

I've been waiting on a guy to procure what will be my newest Sig 1911 since March...

It's a bad time to try and buy most firearms really. I hear even Hi-Pernts are scarce.

-*Disclaimer- recreational boating trip planned for the day it actually does come in.

Mini-14's and Mini-30's are pretty nice as well.

Get a 7.62x39 upper..

Enhanced firing pin.

Magazine from C Products ONLY.

Ammo is plentiful and there is no limit at places like academy. I just bought another 250 rounds for 21¢ a piece. Also bought the 8m3 fragable ammo for a bit more.

You can get the wolf (all I shoot feeds great) for 4.99-5.99 a box.

Bear Creek arsenal has the side charging handle. It's awesome. The charging handle pin is two piece. I picked up a spare and JB welded the Allen screen inside it. No need for a tool to field strip.

Edit: they do not float. Found out the hard way fishing the other day :(

There is a special place in hell for people who fire commie ammo through an AR15.

whatever you get, do yourself a piston conversion on it. runs cooler, get an adjustable gas block, runs waaaaaaaaaaaay cleaner, etc, etc, etc.

I bought one for $500 just before the COVID panic. The same rifle now is $750 at least if you can find it in stock anywhere.

The unfortunate reality is we may be less than a year from never being able to purchase new ones again.

I grabbed one a week before July 4th. Simple Ruger, open sights, 223/556. Finding ammo was like a treasure hunt. Lol

These damn boating accidents are terrible and I predict they'll be happening a lot more in the coming months.

Hogs love it. Especially that 8m3 ammo. It's devastating.

Commie round more accurate coming out of AR than an AK as well.

Wait til you try to buy some common hand gun ammo lol.

A few weeks ago the big store I went to almost laughed at me. Said it sells out the same day it arrives.

Did a little research though and found one of the local tactical gun shop guys that had plenty of 9mm ammo.

Ponchatoula has Apocalyps sports. There must have been 25 vehicles parked up and down the road there today. I was shocked at the selection they have. I am headed there one day this week. I wasn't going to do it but now I feel I must get more than my hunting guns.

I bought one Friday. Don’t bother with stores, find someone who builds them
