Nice find...they are smart.

Nice Mike!

I still have a couple thousand 5.56 brass, but no bullets.

I don't shoot the rifle all that much - just enough to maintain proficiency, so don't go through too much ammo.

I guess I have a few thousand rounds lying around. One day I'll do a bulk buy and set up for the next batch.

I'll never part with my post-ban Bushmaster. It's about as ban-proof as you're likely to get. I've got a collapsible stock on it, but that can go if need be. I still own a number of 10 round mags along with a closet full of GI and Magpuls.

I was going to have the barrel threaded for a can or a flash hider, but decided not to a few months ago when things started looking tenuous.

Like many, I'm just laying low and waiting to see what happens.

I've got 4 now in .22LR, .223, 300BLK and 6.8, I like them all esp. the SBR in 300 BLK. Plus my SCAR in.7.62/.308. I guess I don't need another but I do want a can for the short barrel, that's my next thing to purchase and one more scope or ACOG or something. Mags have been tough to find since the AWB crap.

One of the guys at work just bought a piston driven AR last week for 1200 plus tax. I forget the maker. Nobody I ever heard of. He got a carbine. Brand new shooter. Just joined the NRA for life. He even needed advice on cleaning supplies, etc. One more dedicated shooter. I'll have him loadin his own soon. !! HA. Mike

Mike, I thought things were getting better but I saw a Ruger AR go the other day for $2600 ... and a Stag Model 6 (heavy barrel) go to $2500. The world is clearly going to end. I am just finishing up my second AR build in the past few weeks cause I buy the parts right (when I can find them) and can ask crazy money for them.

Problem is ... I end up liking them and keeping them~~~~~~Dummy!

Padre, you are a man after my own heart!

I always do that at the range. I scope out my prey, casually walk up and strike a convo with them and within minutes, I'm scrounging their brass for my own goodness...

(evil laugh) Muwahahahahahahaha

[DaFadda]

Buwwwwwwaaaaaahhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa.... Brass scroungers forever!

Mike,

I don't know of any "no-name" piston AR builders. Just because you don't know the name of an AR builder doesn't equate to low quality ... in fact it's often just the opposite. Many small custom AR building shops build AR's that are FAR superior to the Names You Must Know.

Those big names ... Bushmaster, DPMS, Stag ... even to a somewhat lesser extent, Colt ... are mass produced conglomerations of mil spec parts.

Mil spec doesn't mean better ... just within tolerance. That's why a lot of AR's from the big names rattle like a can full of marbles and shoot 3 MOA.

Small shops that take a bit more time can pick and choose parts that fit together better than just mil spec and can easily shoot sub MOA.
