You don’t want me to count how much ammunition is at my dads. Actually I don’t want to count it. I had to move it downstairs to the one spare room cleaning out the spare bedroom upstairs when he busted his back. Took me a solid hour easy to get it all down there and that was just packing it up in lots of about 30-40lbs a trip.

If there is a definition of too much ammo, my dad may have surpassed it awhile back.

Depends on where and how you store it. If you keep it in a temperate climate with low moisture it will store for all intents and purposes indefinitely. Kept too cold, around moisture, too hot, etc it’s life degrades quite a bit.

Good to know! After JVG showing me a few of his collection it makes me want to grab an ar-15 for the hell of it. One of those with a bump stock would be a good addition i think!

I have a nice gas/piston urban camo ar that will treat you right forever. Low maintenance too. Only one you’ll ever need. Doesn’t get any better than a gas/piston system.

Just so you can keep it fresh in your mind.

If it doesn’t weigh over 50 ounces, yes. Handguns with a detachable magazine that is not in the grip can only weigh 50 ounces before being classified as an assault weapon. This rules out most/all AR/AK pistols.

According to their site, the pistol weighs 3.42lbs, so 54.72lbs. Not legal.

Have do disagree ARs are like crack once you own one your have to have more. I believe your collection would be a perfect example of that.
