Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?
Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? [Reply]

For the price point, is that the gun you'd buy? Is this an actual sale or can you find them for this price somewhere all the time? Thanks for all the info! [Reply]
A S&W MP will work for 98% of people out there that like to plink and play around. For the 2% that are hardcore you probably want a piston AR with a tougher barrel, decent hand guard and buttstock. Another alternative is to get a nickel-boron bolt and carrier group which helps a little with carbon fouling.
Gas guns are inherently more accurate than their piston counterparts, but once again, it all depends on what you need. [Reply]

Honestly, just looking to grab an AR. Not wanting to build my own and totally a plinker. I'm in the 98%. That being said, is this a good deal on a good gun or should I consider something different in this price point? Does a deal like this come around much? [Reply]

It's a pretty common price, but if you are ready just buy. You never know when people are going to panic and a 600 Gun becomes a 1500 gun. [Reply]

I almost bought one a couple days ago when it came with 4 additional Pmags. For the price, its hard to beat. You can't go wrong with the S&W as your first AR15.
You're going to find that many places are going to start selling out of many AR15's, or significantly raise their prices due to Orlando and the calls for a new Assault Weapons Ban from the Democrats. Same thing with ammo and mags. It would be wise to stock up.
If you find an AR15 you like that is in stock, and fairly priced, I would NOT wait to grab it. [Reply]
I got a call from a buddy who knows some guys who work on custom made guns saying they were going to test a new gun they were working on. I drove down to Texas to check it out and shoot the gun some as well. It was a great gun and was a blast to shoot. Basically a McMillan but with some changes to it. We were shooting out to 1500 yds with very good consistency then we moved to 2000 yds and by the end of the day of shooting I made a shot at 2750 yds and busted a milk jug.
As a sniper in the military my furthest shot on a target was 1700. I was impressed I added another 1000 yds tof my personal best. So I wanted to come brag a little [Reply]

They had the owner of Adventure Outdoors a large gun store in Georgia he said AR 15s were flying off the rack at a rate or 15 an hour in his place since Orlando shooting.
Yep if you find one on the rack buy I stopped a couple places on my way home nothing but 22 style AR 15s. They had no idea when they would get restocked. Cabela's is OOS in my area.
