    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Will do. I'm hoping it's well done.......it would be nice to see an old name like "Armalite" back to making top shelf products.

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    They aren't (BCM) in stock, and haven't been for a good while now....

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Yes, and it's a lifetime warranty at that - not one year like the Colt.

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Maybe you are correct, Jackal - but it's not apples to apples. Some of the parts on the Armalite - $69 Adjustable gasblock $190 Timney trigger $85 Raptor charging handle $140 Luth stock $140 Adjustable break $189 Handguard But you are correct; it's generally cheaper to build your own. I have...

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Yeah, but for the rifle I wanted (see above post) I'm not sure it would have been cheaper. The only thing I will probably change out is the BCG, and I have several of those laying around. Check out the options on the Armalite.......I think it's even a better 'value' than the Stag 3G, and you...

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Thanks for the replies everyone.......I just put money down on one at Bud's. I have been drawn to the Armalite M15 3GN 18" for a while, so that's where my money just went. I've been thinking about getting into 3-Gun competition for a while now, and last year I bought a Beretta 1301 Comp...

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Really no more than $1400. The more research I do on Armalite, the less I find out lol - I think I'm leaning towards the Colt CRE-18T (gen2 I think) the more research I do.......I know what's in the Colt, no clue about the Armalite. And this would be easy if BCM wasn't always out of stock :cuss...

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    Yeah.....maybe 100 fps? I just want an 18" or 20" semi-target sort of AR with BUIS. I already have my carbines and too many mags, as well as a ton of 5.56. If I didn't have so much invested in the platform, I would love to get in to 6.8 SPC, but I digress...

    Looking for ideas - 18" AR 15

    I've been looking at Colt, Stag and Armalite for an 18" AR to work as a plinker, but also as something I can stick a scope on and reach out between 150 and 250 yards. Everything seems to be 14.5" - 16" carbine (or mid)........not a lot out there for an 18" or even 20". I don't know much about...

    Should I sell a couple safe queens?

    Different strokes.... I have several firearms that I bought NIB with the intention to NOT fire them. When my son was born 9 years ago, I realized that a lot (all) of the firearms I inherited from my family were in poor shape, and just how much I wished they had been in really good shape.....and...

    10mm or 45 acp for self defense

    Okay.....where can a person pick-up some of those Silvertips? As you are the OP, I am curios if you started this thread of "discussion" just to inform us that the 10mm IS better than the .45 ACP, cause that's what it's starting to look like? They both work, whether using hot new loads, or old...

    10mm or 45 acp for self defense

    I don't know.....seems more like a 9x25 Dillon type load to me (I know it's .400 and not .356). I think of 10mm as being 160 - 200 gr, but that's just me. Underwood also has a 120 gr .45 ACP clocking in at 1420 fps, but I don't consider that a 'normal' load. As always, just my .02

    10mm or 45 acp for self defense

    I have shot both rounds for years, and my feeling is this - if you can only have one handgun, between a .45 or 10mm (taking ammo availability out of the question for this thread) for pure "self-defense", i.e. 2 and 4 legged critters, I would go with a 10mm - no question. But, for stopping a...

    Seeking Recommendations: 15-round 9mms

    +1 on the Walther PPQ, but make mine the "classic" over the M2

    Colt Factory Mid-Length

    I could be wrong (as always lol), but didn't this Colt mid-length get its start for the Canadian military a couple of years ago? If so, isn't this just them sending surplus, military contracted rifles to TALO to distribute in the U.S.?

    looking for the next budget handgun <$400

    OP, I understand you set the limit at $400......but man, add $29 more to that total and here is a steal - https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/38991/Firearms/Handguns/Smith+%26+Wesson/S%26W+Handguns/S%26W+M%26P9+17%2B1+9mm+4.25

    Trumps first move pro gun: appoint Giuliani

    Trey Gowdy would be a good choice for anything, including POTUS someday. He is the best defender of the Republic and sharp as a tack.......he's a rock-star in my book :cool:

    What I did today, the day after America saved itself.

    Open 10 mags.....leave the other 40 in wrap, stored away somewhere (good investment). Then, take your wife and daughter to a range with those two new rifles and have fun with a few hundred rounds. Then do it again....

    wet weather rifle for deer and maybe elk

    Easy decision - Tikka T3 LITE, but not sure about a 7mm-08 or .243 for elk ......... but I worship at the alter of the old .30-'06, so what do I know :cool:

    Springfield Armory SAINT revealed (It's an AR)

    MId-length and 1/8 twist......if the street price is around $750, it's a good base rifle - still too much anticipation for another AR with a stupid name o_O
