TexTopCat – been there and done that – building an upper was interesting and satisfying – I created a very accurate 223 Wylde chambered AR and a couple of 300 blackouts. So the next step in the evolution of building an AR is to mill one… I think with a low speed drill press and an X-Y vise I could get really close to a CNC fit – I may be dreaming but it looks interesting. Cost wise I am sure there is no savings. I am more concerned about the BATFE and their position, or their ever moving position. I don’t want a bunch of jack booted thugs showing up at my door demanding that my firearms need to be surrendered.

On a new note – I actually do have a good guy question up for discussion – 80% lowers? I have read, discussed and searched on the legality of them. From what I have found anybody can make a firearm – you just can’t sell/trade/give it away without serializing it. So my question is with all the legal issues that Ares Armor has had, how ‘safe’ and/or practical is it to go the 80% lower route? I have heard of 80% lower ‘parties’ but the legality is sketchy – but anything with the BATFE is sketchy as they seem to be able to pass ‘law’ at any given moment. Really, I am not sure I care too much about my serialized ARs, but would really like to build an AR from a semi-slab of aluminum (or polymer). What does SOTG think?

Hey Dan –
Didn’t mean to hijack the good guy thread… sooo
Go check out our brothers at arms at talking lead – they have a Forum also – it is not as active but they do have some links to great sites to buy from.
Check out this forum – https://www.talkinglead.com/forums/topic/online-guns-and-gear-great-buys-are-at/
Gundeals and GunBot are very cool – happy shopping!
I swore off any online or brick and mortar stores that gouged during the last Obamascare – but that is just me.

All –
Angled back up sights are nice if you train with them – I would suggest getting a QD (quick detach) scope mount for your scope and stay with normal iron sights, so if optics fail – detach and go, but again train with both.

Now a rant – cheaperthandirt.com – please do not frequent these price gouging fools – you can still buy cheaper at other sights for Mosin Nagant and you will not be supporting a bunch of price gougers – do the research these people are looking to take your money. During the Obamabanscare cheaperthandirt and a couple other retailers decided to rip off the consumer – NOT a friend of the gun community.

Sorry if the Students of the Gun are sponsors or trying to be – I will loose serious respect if they are – money clouds judgement.

AIMsurplus.com has Nagants and ammo and they did not gouge during the great ammo recession – (there prices went up – but not the double, triple, quadruple that cheaperthandirt.com pulled.)

Again Nagants are wonderful weapons – buy two or three and a couple cases of ammo – very inexpensive. Just pay attention who you buy from, buy from true patriots not gougers.

And train, train, train and have fun.

Guys – question for you – Oath Keepers and other similar groups? What are your thoughts on them. They seem to be more geared toward Military/LE – but would you suggest the ‘average’ citizen consider one of these groups? Thanks
