You will wish you had if shit goes sideways like it seems to be headed at some point. Dealers are being told by their distributors that they don’t even know when they will be able to get anything. All semiauto pistols and rifles and all shoguns are dried up or getting there. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79130419 its funny youd catch flak for running an AR or AK at the range with all the fudds around, given the stink eye. Now they are looking for one. absolutely clueless. you'd have thought the big runs on ammo during obama and price hikes might have been a hint. but they remain completely ignorant til the last second |

"ARs and 9mm pistols are great, but shelves empty of ammo is a problem. Remember back when Obama ordered arming every gov department no matter what it was and shelves were empty for about a year. Shelves being empty now are not just because of the public rush. Makes it difficult to stock up when NATO calibers are being diverted" IF you are lucky or Blessed by Jehovah .... you may get another CHANCE to purchase ammo. If not then Darwin will be proven CORRRRRRECT... at least in your case. There are still "Deals" on internet ammo purchases... check for free shipping.-There are some companies that have contracts for ammo coming in on a monthly basis. 1,000 per rifle.(don't go below that supply number) A spare rifle and spare 1,000 rounds at another safe location is best. 500 per pistol. .22 rimfire -if it is useful for small game or training. (if it is all you have and some situations .22 for "defense") shotgun-if it is useful for small game or defense. .177 or .22 for "air gun" others for Pre Charged Air guns( Costly but many are accurate and can be silenced) |

Lester User ID: 1659909 United States 07/12/2020 01:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NOTHING better than Colt bolt carrier groups and barrels. THAT Is The Heart Of an Armalite pattern semi-auto. Mil-Spec heat treatment and chrome-lining. Best grade steel by Mil-Spec. Colt used to have a doctored-up lower which wouldn't allow an auto-sear. Not the early, early ones, but good luck finding one of those. H-K won the defense dept contract for M-16s/M-4s ten years back or so. Their Mil-Spec AR gear also top-knotch. Armalite barrels from late 90s to early 10s were also chrome-lined, or they were stainless. Chrome-lined much to be preferred. The AR (T) series rifles with lightweight fiberglass float tubes and match triggers are a quality item; as were their Eagle Arms lower price point rifles. Armalite was a great resource for parts and their specialty items up to 2010 or so when the company was sold. New owners not nearly as shooter community friendly... Never terribly impressed with LMT or even Noveske. Gonna spend the money for a Name, go Knight's and don't look back. For long barrel life, second best choice is the standard Chrome Moly steel. Nothing is gonna be much for precision once the throat is shot out, but when stainless barrels begin to wear, they lose chunks of barrel surface. C-M barrels "crack" like the mud-cracks on a dried lake bed. The stainless barrel that's worn is much more disruptive to bullet dynamics. Also, might consider the Ramboish M-4 carbines really need match grade heavy bullets to put rounds on target much past 300yds. Full 20" barrel with longer gas system much more of a performer at distance. A 1:8 twist barrel of 18-20" is a 500yd plus proposition when fired with 68/69gr or 75/77gr bthp bullets. |

Thank you for this recommendation. you're welcome. mid length is smoother recoil impulse, a bit cleaner inside the action as well. interesting thing ive seen is full length gas systems on 18" or 20" barrels have such increased velocity ive seen green tips pierce ar-500 armor that shorter barrels wouldnt or even a .308 wouldnt. but that much barrel is a bit harder to maneuver with inside tight spaces |
