    If I am going to buy my first AR...

    Theyre also masters of the attempted "upsell" technique. Beyond obnoxious. Was trying to check out a Savage 10fcp and the guy couldn't put the McMillan version, which is $500 higher, in my hands fast enough. The hardest, and most tedious part about building an upper is the gas block pin...

    If I am going to buy my first AR...

    No no no no. Dsi is overpriced for their quality. Look for a Wilson Arms complete upper on JSE. Aero might have an upper without a threaded barrel. M4E1 series

    If I am going to buy my first AR...

    Magpul MOE Fixed Carbine Stock. Get a milspec carbine tube and a carbine spring. Jsesurplus runs deals on complete uppers for featureless builds. Try and get a 223 Wylde barrel instead of just 223 rem or 5.56. Either a carbine or mid length gas system will work just fine. Either 16" or 18"...

    non-AR15 - .223 rifle

    If I am going to buy my first AR...

    CMMG? If youre going featureless the grip is basically useless except for if you swap out parts to go into a state where ARs arent heavily regulated. If you can find online a LPK with no grip, but DOES contain the fire control group (trigger/hammer/safety) for under that then I'd go for it. CMMG...

    If I am going to buy my first AR...

    A lot of the choices are the same, it's only what look you want that affects many of em. If you want a rifle that just goes bang, the Ruger AR is good, Smith & Wesson MP is good. Even with everything going on prices are still super low. You could get a quality featureless rifle, couple mags, a...

    How deep into Nassau County are you? I live in Western Suffolk. I'd be happy to put together the pieces for you. The other option is Campsite in Huntington Station is probably the best shop on the island in regards to customer service. Ask for Paul or Doug. Paul helped me build my first AR by...

    Delta Endangers Tax Break After Cutting Ties to NRA

    To Preserve Gun Rights, We Must Replace the Second Amendment

    April PRS Match

    I think you might be hurting yourself with the One-Day Match thing. As a Long Islander it's about 14.5 hours round trip. So it's at least a 2 day event for me anyway. Most of Pennsylvania has easier access to this match than me. Maybe a good starting point to see what kind of interest you get...

    Thinking of selling SCR for Mini 14. Mistake?

    Selling your ARES for 900 or better might be harder than you think if it's a Gen1. Seeing a BIN on Gunbroker for 870 doesn't say new/used. And gun stores are selling G2s for under $1,000. You'd likely be better off selling the lower and keeping the upper and building a lower cheaper than what...

    H.R.4918 - Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2018

    NY has nothing to do with it. Yeah, I'm sure the Hells Angels are just largely misunderstood with only a few bad eggs ruining the whole bunch. And MS13 is just helping Latino immigrants learn business skills. The bias is so apparent, and yet most of you cant wait to harp on "liberal bias"...

    Florida judge says barring felons from voting unconstitutional!!

    I think after X years of being released, somewhere more than 2 but less than 7, a felon should be considered a regular member of society. Gun rights, voting rights, etc. Like a prior post said, if you cant trust em once they're freed they shouldnt be out.

    Bannon steps down from Breitbart

    Several theories. 1. He really is racist/white supremacist and Jared is a Jew so all the motivation he needed. 2. His powerblock conflicted with Jrs and Jareds, something we know exists in the Trump WH. 3. He is an arden nationalist and patriot, while being a dick, he truly believes it was treason.

    How Uncle Sam Hosed Gun Retailers

    Sounds dramatic. What, if X person wants to buy a guy for someone as a present theyre suddenly going to not buy a gun cause of an outage? Riiiiiight. Just like when people do those national no fillup gas days. Right. The stations lose money until tomorrow when people buy anyway.

    This chaps my damn biscuits. FCC repeals 'Net Neutrality'

    We actually had Net Neutrality before Obama's decision. What he did was encode it so that it created an additional bulwark. Net neutrality as an issue existed long ago. It didnt start in 2015. It's at least 11 years old - when I started to learn internet politics.

    What plate carriers/chest rigs do you use?

    AR500 is running a sale on a bunch of their products including different carriers. Was debating picking one up. Does anyone run something else they like? Primary use would be for carbine courses, but being able to accept plates too is something I have in mind.

    Where to buy complete NY compliant AR

    Last place I'd go for a rifle or lower is DSI. Selling $600 rifles for $1k. Some of the sales staff are good, but most don't want to deal with you if you aren't buying what they're trying to drop in your hands.

    Gunmaker Remington faces default as Americans buy fewer firearms

    Also, you help other product lines. When I buy a rifle or a shotgun the odds of me not buying ANYTHING else are so low they cant be calculated by humans. If it's a new caliber Im almost certainly buying a box or 3 of ammo to try. Probably an ammo can for my new found buddies, a sling or a scope...

    Gunmaker Remington faces default as Americans buy fewer firearms

    Every other industry when it has a glut of inventory runs sales that bring in people. Firearms don't... that arrogance is why they hurt themselves. PRS stocks still sell for 240. RPRs still sell for 1300. Small examples, but it's like people in the industry assume well anyone who needs a 1600...

    Boston Globe columnist calls for gun confiscations

    It would never be door-to-door. It's too inefficient and bound to be bloodfilled. You would see those mandatory buybacks first. Grab the easy ones first and then station uniforms on public ranges, as well as rewards for helping police catch the "criminals". That would drive people who would...

    NY Legal "SBR" or "AR Pistol" without having a Pistol Permit

    This is why legislation based around thought is Has to have been a virgin lower, and I think legally you want to make sure the FFL form is marked as an other. I'd also like to know the exact snippets of penal code and such to know right away should I need the legal defense.

    MPA is just more modular cause it can be built more to you. Bergara, is the "new" Savage BA, RPR factor PR. Tikkas are similar. But they're all more expensive to start, and they arent built for you, the individual. Once you have the 700 action, you can do whatever you want with it. If you catch...

A good starter would be Magpuls Hunter 700 setup for a little under $1000 for the barreled action...
