open to any caliber really

anyone else see this??

yes, i think its great! long ways to go. but being able to carry in other states without getting non resident permits would be amazing! i cant wait and hope that this goes through!

The shit you New Yorkers have to go through for permits it should be that way now.

So, as I am looking more and thinking more about ARs I am considering an AR pistol chambered in 9mm. I’ve heard the .223 round doesn’t perform as well in a shorter barrel. Rock River has a 7 inch barrel available.

A gun shop nearby usually has a couple Sigs in stock but those are 5.56. Any thoughts from any AR owners here? I like the 9mm because I have 5 other guns that shoot 9mm and I always have a shit ton of 9mm kicking around.

Edit: This is the one they usually have, the 556 SWAT.

I’m not a huge fan of short barreled rifles unless it’s in a pistol caliber. I still call that Sig 556 pistol an SBR just due to its rifle cartridge. I honestly wouldn’t bother with the Sig or similar. You can get better an cooler stuff designed around a 9/.40/.45 round I think. Shit, an FN FiveseveN would be sick as they come with 20rd mags I believe, in your less communist states of course. What’s your budget Jim, and when can I come up and shoot everything?

:rofl we gotta figure out a gravel pit day when I don’t work some weekend day. Through the week it’s got some traffic through it.

I try not to work around budgets :lol So you think the 9mm or other pistol caliber is the way to go too? FN five seven is cool but I’m a fan of the SBR variants. Any other brands I should look at? I love shooting my AK pistol.

jim, i hate you. that is all.

for real you suck for being able to have SBR’s. if i could have them id have them. fuckin a. that sig is sick!

one in a 9mm would be amazing i think. i just dont like the buffer tube thingy on the rock rivers.

i love the heavy barrel full length ar’s, simple no fucking around 20inch barrel/iron sight AR. They are american badass

To heavy. I just got rid of the 16" Stainless Bull Barrel for a 20" Stainless Barrel

Thats what I am leaning towards is a 9mm, since I have an ass ton of 9mm.

Since I sold one of my 4 AR’s its time to buy a rifle to replace it :ahh

oughta buy that M1 Garand that was around here for a while…

Im actually looking at a nice Garand on another forum. One on here is priced a little high for the current market.

Selling a pre-ban lower. $475 firm for the stripped lower, or $575 OBO for lower with complete parts kit and stock if anyone’s interested.

put that shit on armslist

the garand is a must own for any american

Garand or any M1 rifle? Like an M1A for example.

I WANT TO BE AN AMERICAN GOD DAMMIT!

so who is getting me one for xmas?

it starts with the garand and then moves to the m1 carbine, haha

Question about cantilever barrels. I have a 20ga Winchester 1300 with a rifled barrel setup for deer with a scope that is bolted to the receiver. I’d like to also use it for small game and trap. So ideally I would like to get a cantilever rifled barrel so I can switch barrels and not have to remove/resight the scope every year. Problem is Winchester doesn’t make a 20ga cantilever, just 12ga. Anyone know of aftermarket barrels? I can’t find anything.

Edit: And before you say buy a 870, I was going to but the feel of the 1300 is way better IMO and the foregrip doesn’t rattle like the new 870’s I looked at.
