Just bought a complete pre-ban AR lower, and ordering some upper parts now, along with a gun safe.
Also had an issue w/ the S&W M&P9 that I ordered as the people have never shipped it yet, so I had T&V change it to a .40 so I can swap barrel/mag and shoot 9mm or .357 Sig.

Proud new owner of a mossin naggant.
Gonna have to pass on a 762A2 ishapore factory Lee Enfield equivalent that shoots 308.
Now I’ve heard nearly every owner tell me not to dry fire a gun and decided to look into the issue.
It seems that the only guns that get damaged in dry fire is rim fire guns like .22
Just about every modern rifle is center fire and is fine to dry fire

I even got into a debate with a gun owner who was saying the entirely opposite, saying .22 are fine but don’t dry fire anything else.

LOL, sucks I gotta build another upper, but at least I can put a flash suppressor on it (even though it’s useless really) and enjoy collapsing the stock all day long.
I shot my AR today. Love it. I left my Magpul BUIS tool for sight adjusting at JVG’s house but the sights were almost dead on. Will have to bench rest it for perfect sight alignment though.
I also may order some parts for my 10/22 tonight. I love that gun lol.

i dry fire my pistols thousands of times. specially the 1911’s. i like what it does helps break them in a little bit i think. it also gives you a good feel for the trigger. so if im watching football or something i usually play with one of them. if anyone still doesnt like, just use a snap cap.

my brother owns a few rifles and has a CC permit. I know almost nothing about guns. we went to a gun show this weekend in saratoga, almost bought one just cause it was there. there was some high point rifle that fired .45 handgun rounds. thought that was pretty cool and it wasn’t to bad at 350 but it honestly look like it was used even though it was brand new. finish sucked.
there was an AR-15 ‘beowulf’ that fired .50 AE rounds. was very attracted to that but was 1400 ish. went home with nothing and decided to do some research

It wasn’t terrible, but I wasn’t expecting much really. I almost bought a Saiga 7.62x39 for $400, but now I’m glad I didn’t cuz I found a deal from Slickguns found a place selling them for $300. Very tempted to buy one and do an AK conversion. Was also looking for an M1 of some sort, but everything there was stupidly overpriced. Cheapest M1 was $1250 or so.
