Got a laugh today as PSA already has braced ARs back in their daily emails, that was pretty quick after the rule was invalidated late last week. Plus the whole ghost gun regulations also overruled.

So those ammo limits and rules likely have no chance, most are ridiculous. 100 round limit on 50 cal, so many states have banned 50 cal. I have never heard of a crime involving 50 cal. I guess I could deal with 1000 rd limits on a txn, would have to breakup a few orders per year. I see no prupose in them knowing how much and often I buy ammo.

You won't find a crime with a 50 cal - it's an easy scare tactic. "You can shoot it 5 miles and still goes thru an engine block!" The goal is to get the bans going. It's easier to add something to the ban than it is to ban something to begin with. Whatever they can ban/limit is the goal. It does not have to make sense.

It's just low hanging fruit. I rarely buy 1,000 rounds a year (unless you add in shotgun shells) but accepting that is the same thing. Just a beginning. Moving it from 1,000 to 500 is far easier than going from no limits to 1,000.

I buy my 9mm and 5.56 1k rounds at a time usually. I would do the same with 308 but it is pricey right now.

Took the SCAR17 and sighted it in. What an awesome firearm. It is a tac driver.

chris_1001 · 11-14-2023, 02:18 PM

Before Covid, I was shooting ~1000 rounds a month ~750 9mm and ~250 223/5.56

Since the prices have skyrocketed, I've cut back a lot. But I still buy 1K here and there.

I shoot a ton of .22 as well. I'll be shooting ~350 this coming Sat morning at a Steel Challenge. Pew Pew...

jamesinaz · 11-14-2023, 04:45 PM

Heck back when I was having fun with NFA I'd have 15-20 thousand rounds of 9mm, 223 and 308 delivered to my house at a time. They would leave it at the garage door if I wasn't home.

Betting that has a few soccer mom hearts twitching out of rhythm.

unluky · 11-16-2023, 08:08 AM

I feel like prices on 9mm and 223 are getting back to normalize again? I see sub 25 cent 9mm every day and have seen (not great, but still) 223/556 for under 50 cents a lot. Compared to the buck around we were seeing for the cheap shit in 2020-2022 - I'm happy to see them drifting down.

Thank God for PSA...I wonder how the guys feel now that went for the ATF bribe in not having to get the stamp..

What does that mean? What bribe? What stamp?

Did yours come with that flat end plate? Or did you have to order it separate? Sometime I want the anchor brake off, but mine didn't come with the end plate - which seems like it should? But I don't see it listed in the included items.

Look closer, mine has the brake on it unless I am misunderstanding your question. Mine did not come with a flat plate but I also would like to have one to shorten it even more.

In the first picture while it's leaning up against the safe it looks like it does not have the brake on it. That was where my question came from. But if yours did not come with the front plate then you're in the same boat as me. You can buy them separately but they're like 95 bucks. They were showing on sale this week for 64 but they wouldn't ring up that way.

XTEN as a side arm this year when hunting. Some of these hogs will make you uncomfortable. Ordered a Olight PL-Pro Valkyrie Tactical Light for it.

Donatello. · 12-03-2023, 05:04 PM

Just discovered the Tisas Night Stalker. I am really digging it. I might have to buy one. Yay buying more crap I don't need...

Torgus · 12-04-2023, 09:15 AM

Anyone have experience with an AR build using 450 bushmaster? Thinking about it for White tails...

Donatello. · 12-04-2023, 11:30 AM

I have a couple complete AR lowers and don't know what to do with them yet.

Only considering 22LR, 9mm or 5.56. Already have 2 16" barrel ARs, a SBR AR & a 15-22 rifle so I am leaning something in 9mm...

Suggestions?
