Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Just got in a new scope for my AR's targeting and tracking system, I think it is finally complete. It's a new non-computerized system I call Multiple Simultaneous Target Tracking And Recognition, MSTTAR for short.

You know the whole adage "one is none and two is one", so I figured by that line of thinking, 10+ must surely be unstoppable. I think it will catch on soon, we're going to see many more concerned private citizens building their own version of this advanced configuration.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

So with that rig, before you shot me, you could take an x-ray of my knee?

:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I think that pretty much has all the accessories.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Shopping for my first AR before a bunch of knee jerkers try to pass some feel good garbage to prevente from buying one.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yep...me too. Unfortunately, the prices have skyrocketed in the past few days. I am on the fence for the Troy Arms AR at Dicks. I have heard/read a lot of good things.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I would love to have one, but don't have the money to drop.

I may purchase another pistol.. One the wife can use more and one more 'toy' for me.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

My brother has quite an arsenal of toys and never really considered a need for one, but sadly it's to the point that I want one just more or less to give everyone else a big eff you to the powers that be. I've had a shotgun that was given to me for Christmas by my dad when I was 12 years old, but it's time to get more power.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Good luck buying your stuff guys, a lot of companies are showing out of stock already! ! !

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm gonna shop around for a local private sale. Already found a guy I can get assemblies from.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Don't wait! My FIL was going to order a few AR's and when he first looked his distributer had 16, He came back 45 minutes later and....gone!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Better move quick Dicks here have pulled all "assault weapons" and the manager said they company is going to do it nationwide.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Nope....

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

We will most likely have to resort to buying parts and assembling our own! Get the upper and lower first as they were the first to sell out when the previous gun bill was about to pass.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Cheaper than dirt decided they don't sell guns any longer also. Thats two company's I will no longer support.

Even lowers and uppers will get hard too get again.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yes they will, ammo will start to go up again too guess I better get out the 223 and 556 dies. Never know when a down on their luck AR owner wont be able to pay for factory rounds :D

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Going to pick up my XD9 on Friday and I'm hoping the shop has some ARs in stock (last time I went, they had around 10). I may have to get one

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Great news. This is a historic ruling. So recently the Supreme Court ruled the 2nd Amendment is an individual right in the DC gun ban case, now a Federal Appeals court ruled that the right to bear is not limited to the home. I don't see how any restrictions can stand anymore.

If I ran the NRA I'd start suing to overturn all the restrictions many states/cities pass as "infringment". Registration, gun-free zones, etc should all go.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Having a similar situation as everyone else here. Been planning to pick up my first AK sometime before this summer. Looking mainly for a polish AKMS or a straight-forward WASR; Unfortunately the prices of them on gunbroker have skyrocketed over the past few days. I guess big brother is forcing my hand.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If you're looking to have an AR-15 in the future I would at least go pick up a stripped lower or two as this is the firearms according to the ATF and would be the part needed before a ban. And some 30rd mags.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Unfortunately rumor has it that they may have "assault weapons" added to the NFA Title II list and start treating them as they do a SBR, SBS, or supressor and require Class 3 handling of them the same and the same $200 tax stamp. :/

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Guns are bad, mmmmmkay.

I'll just keep these hidden in my garage

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Larue is still showing in stock for now. . .

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

You're doing it wrong. U lost all ur guns in a tragic boating accident ;)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Be careful! Those are the kind of weapons that jump up in a crowd and pull their own trigger!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Wow, that happened to you too? What an amazing coincidence.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone have any recommendations for places to buy complete assemblies? Not looking for bottom of the barrel prices and certainly not high end. Got a few I'm looking at and just looking for some other final options.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

If u don't mind the wait times palmetto state armory is good for uppers. Buy a stripped lower and parts kit and build that yourself.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I was about to reply "pics or it never happened", and then I read further down the thread... lol


I wanted to get an M1a hunting rifle... but I bet those prices have gone through the roof too :(

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well, all I need now is a stripped lower receiver....the damage thus far was $485 + shipping.

:)

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

From where? You get a bolt carrier group?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

And I remember the days of 60 dollar SKS's and 150 dollar AK's. Boy have times changed.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

And $100 garands :sad

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I don't think anyone has lowers left over the last couple days....saw some crappy bushmaster & dpms lowers for $300-$400 under normal times there entire rifles aren't worth that :r:r

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Since the election there has been a huge run on BC' s not sure what's going on with that :sh

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

What do you have there an L1A1 and G1 kit (or stg58) haha

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I'm still of the idea that stocking up on mags is the way to go now, even if you don't have a rifle. Hi cap (10+ rnd) mags I think will be the very first to go, pistols and rifles alike. In that issue, the gun community is not united, many of the hunters and "pro gun non-owners" don't think people need a hi cap mag, so that's the softest point of attack IMO.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Looking for something similar to an M1a, but possible a little less pricy.

heavy caliber (30 06, 7.62x51mm NATO, or .308 win), mag fed, fairly "common" rifle for ease of parts and maintenance. M1a is GREAT, love one of those... but also pricy. Any suggestions for uhh, less? It should be quality, dependable, and moderately accurate. Fine for hunting, but no need to shoot .5 MOA at 1000000 yards either ;)

Any suggestions? surely the m1a isn't the ONLY good option there.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yeah, I don't usually hit the panic button, but I was a Boy Scout. Also I remember well what happened in the nineties. I have half a dozen M1 carbine 30 rounders on their way. May start shopping for a few 20s as well.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Yep, glad we have 16 30rd mags at home right now. More to come I hope.

You could always get ya an AR-10 or an AR-15 300BLK or 6.8SPC.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Anyone here interested in trading some 30rd. Pmags or similar for some Viaje cigars? Not too picky. I like Pmags, Troy Industries, Lancer, etc. I also have a flat dark earth ergo grip from a Spike's Enhanced Lower Parts Kit that I will trade. Great and very comfortable grip but I am using a customized MagPul grip. Brand new never used.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Heading to a show this weekend, hoping I'll find some more mags to pick up.
Last month they were $16 ea for the windowed pmags..... we'll see what they are now :rolleyes:
(I've seen windowless pmags going on gunbroker for as much as $60/ea average lately... NUTS!!!

I've looked at an AR 10 as well... though it seems the decent manufacturers are just as much as the M1a. (I'd prefer not to get a DPMS/bushmaster level)

---------------------------------------

WOW! just read this over at the gunbroker forums. CRAZY!

as of about 5 PM today, Colorado had 5,000 people waiting on background checks for gun purchases.

To put that in perspective on election day 2008 when I bought a gun (which I subsequently lost in a tragic boating incident) there was about 100 people ahead of me with about a 90 minute wait; they're estimating up to 7 days to clear the backlog currently.

there's not an AR-15 within 120 miles of here, if there's any left for sale in the state.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have a local shop that has Lancer Advanced Warfighter Magazines in smoke, black, and flat dark with or without windows for $18 each. Flat dark earth and black Pmags with or without Windows for $20 each. I am flat broke or I would buy them all up.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Francis, the whole NICS system went down today nationwide. People were not being able to have BG checks done for a good portion of the day. Scary.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

imagine over the weekend, when everyone goes to gunshows around the country?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

doesnt matter here. gun shows are treated as private sales so no NICS check.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

How long has DPMS/Bushmaster been affiliated? And why would DPMS be considered a inferior brand?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

DPMS and Bushy are fine. Not great but they work.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

private party sales in gun shows here are treated as private, no checks. But dealer sales require a check, and a large portion of the sales are deal sales at the shows here.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I dont think any dealers here will have stock to sell at the shows :r
