    “…We Just Want To Feel Safe” How Did We, As a Civilization, Become So Naive?

    How?...Why? Because of apathy and appeasement and I share guilt in that as well. God bless my dad a veteran of two wars against communism in Korea and Vietnam but I remember as a kid him telling me about gun rights "they can't take them away the Constitution says so". I was apathetic based on...

    What one rifle for home or farm protection and hunting would you pick.

    Sadly this seems to becoming more reality than a movie, especially if you live near the border (even inland now) or close live to U.S land like national forests that cartels are being allowed to take over. Only for me I'd choose a AR-10 in 6.5 or .308 for any good size game IF I could only have...

    AR 5.56mm combined precision distance and close quarters sighting options

    This might be the way I go more than likely only I'll add a bipod. I assume the cross hair /circle can be used as a sort of dot/holo type for close if need be.

    AR 5.56mm combined precision distance and close quarters sighting options

    I'll try to but I do like to put thought into things especially when money is involved. Per this thread I already gave up the idea of mounting a scope on a carry handle of a A2. I do have a 20" A4 also that I have been using with carry handle so far, I could take the handle off and mount a optic...

    AR 5.56mm combined precision distance and close quarters sighting options

    I'm still reading replies haven't made my mind up yet. If I get a scope I do want it to be variable and first focal plane however, I want to be able to magnify to see a target at a good distance. I have prism scope they are okay to a certain distance but you can't adjust magnify the chevron or...

    I haven't bought much as far as guns n ammo this year (did a little bit) I have been focusing on getting survival and tac gear together. I have bought a lot and tried a lot of different stuff and what I have found is while everyone crazes over plate carriers I still prefer old ALICE setup or FLC...

    AR10 realistic accuracy goal

    To add my part to this thread regarding PSA AR-10 I got the one with 20'' barrel and Geissle SSA-E trigger a few months ago it is really nice but VERY finicky with ammo, only three factory match ammo brands have consistently been under 1 MOA at 100 yds with some brands stretching out to 3 or 4...

    They have about 46 reviews on ammoseek, internet search seems they are legit, but that was what ammunation usa had also good feedback on ammoseek and it turned out be a scam so just asking before I buy from White Birch if anybody can verify thanks.

    What are your Gun Goals for 2023?

    My goals for 2023 are to use the money for buying ammo and guns on mega million lotto tickets instead so I can retire and buy my own land for a 1000 yard range. Seriously you guys that get to shoot at 500 yards plus are lucky, the only 1000 yard range in Florida closest to me is a 2 hour drive...

    Buyer pays, price of item, shipping fees if it applies, credit card fee if it applies typically 2% to 4%, state sales tax if it applies, that is all the buyer should pay except the buyer may pay a transfer fee where ever the item is shipped to if it applies.

    Credit Card locked out buying gun related items. Anyone else?

    I don't think your problem was gun related purchases, fraud is on the rise very badly, in fact my VISA just got used in fraud a few weeks ago and I don't even use it for gas buying so I doubt a skimmer was the problem, I have many customers who have been having issues with their cards being...

    Those military surplus days. Top 3?

    The last great deals were 10 to 12 years ago when Mosin, Swiss K31, Yugo SKS , French MAS and such could be had all day long for under $200 sometimes only $100. And now even if you have those with all that has gone on in the last 2 years ammo is double if not triple for them now.

    Attended the local gunshow yesterday morning

    Well that may being reconsidered now because when you factor shipping it can raise the price a lot for ammo for example, a 50 round box of 9mm may be $15 online but by the time shipping is added it became $30 for it, and now that places like gunbroker are collecting state taxes it may be cheaper...
