Sometimes this is true. But I've found shopping around online VS what most of my local gun shops charges, I can get it cheaper

Most of the time.

If you're saving $50 buying online than what your LGS has it for, your probably not coming out ahead


Know if a shop that charged whatever the online savings are as the transfer fee. Bought a glock $100 cheaper? Your fee is $100.

The owner is one of the biggest POSs I anyone has ever met.

And there are multiple other pawn shops and dealers in the same town that charge $10-$15 per transfer.

It's insanity that anyone would ever actually buy anything from this guy, but he takes advantage boomers and unwitting women and novices like crazy.

Geissele ALG Defense El Jefe 5.56 NATO 16" Rifle - $849.99



The Geissele ALG Defense El Jefe 5.56 NATO 16" Black Rifle 08-478B is a high-quality firearm renowned for its reliability and performance. Constructed with precision from 7075 aluminum, Geissele 08-478B features a 16-inch barrel, Geissele gas block, and Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring for enhanced reliability. Equipped with a Warner and Swasey red dot sight with integrated back-up iron sights, it offers versatility and convenience to shooters.

Geissele Automatics offers the Geissele ALG Defense El Jefe Rifle, a Mil-Spec rifle boasting high-quality components at a competitive price point. Constructed from top-tier materials, both the upper and lower receivers are meticulously crafted from domestically sourced 7075 aluminum billets. Following a rigorous manufacturing process, including heat treatment and CNC machining, the receivers are finished with a Mil-Spec Type 3 black anodized hardcoat for durability.

The rifle features a premium 16-inch barrel with an A2 flash hider and a Geissele 17-4 PH stainless steel gas block paired with an extended mid-length gas tube. The barrel undergoes button rifling and hard chrome plating to ensure longevity and accuracy, even under high rates of fire. The El Jefe incorporates Geissele's Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring in its buffer tube, enhancing reliability and cartridge stripping capabilities, particularly with dirty conditions or steel case ammunition.

Completing the El Jefe Rifle is the U.S.-engineered Warner and Swasey 3MOA red dot sight,
featuring integrated back-up iron sights for immediate use in case of optic failure. This design eliminates the need for a separate set of back-up iron sights, offering convenience and versatility.

Ruger is doing more of their anniversary stuff

The 10/22 is ugly as hell IMO. Not my cup of tea with all the engraving and it looks like a date stamp on it- 10/22 2025. The 22/45 isn't bad but why the leaves?

Limited Edition 50th Anniversary model features a laser-engraved anniversary logo on the bolt as well as polished stainless steel accents, wood handguard, bayonet lug and flash suppressor reminiscent of the original Mini-14.

My dad has one. It’s not very accurate and has a terrible trigger.

Figured I would post this here, sorry if it's already listed

Franklin Armory Antithesis

So, the price ranges from $1069.99 for a 7.5" barrel version, to $1719.99 for the 12.5" with binary trigger.

Looks like the overall best value might be the AT-120, with 11.5" barrel, without binary trigger, @ $1089.99

I handled this gun in a store recently. It's bare bones GI issue clone but the action and trigger feel really good for the price.

I bet the margins on firearms is pretty low. These local gun stores make their money on different stuff but the firearms get people in the door.


One of my closest friend owns a gun store. He's told me their margins are around $30 per gun (He might have said $50, but I can't remember for sure).

Trade ins, ammo, scopes, rings, etc is where they are making their money.

I buy all my long guns from him. He's in MS, so I can't buy pistols but no issues with long guns. He normally cuts me a deal on them as well.

He is below MSRP on all his guns though.

Also, there are some gun companies that will not allow stores to sell their guns below MSRP. Staccato is one that I know off the top of my head that will not let LGS sell below.

When I bought mine a couple of months ago, that's what my local store said. He did give me some ammo to help my feelings with it though.

I have one from a couple years ago. Mine isn't parkerized, and doesn't have quite the same markings. It's a great clone, very underrated for the price.

No less accurate than any milspec service rifle. Find the ammo it likes, learn to use the iron sights or a low power scope, and it will do great at what it was designed to do. Not every rifle is made to shoot off a bench and print clover leaves. There's also a shoestring trick that may or may not make it more fun.

I've heard that and I don't want to stockpile another type of magazine.

No reason to own a mini 14 unless you truly want one. AR platform is superior

It's a board for outdoor hobbies, guy. Also, a Mini-14 with iron sights and a 20 round mag is a hell of a lot more compact than an AR with the same barrel length.

I have a mini 14 and have enjoyed it. I have a scope on it so it accurate.

Only think I don’t like is that it only takes .223 ammo. I think others take both .223 and 5.56 but mine is only .223
