But I guess my point is if I’m new and I’m scared and want to protect my family long term, there are good options

@Crye_Salesman not disagreeing with that by any means

Yeah that to

Now, I wouldn't buy a sub-500 AR personally... I just couldn't trust it. At all.

Agreed, but like, doesn’t have to be an AR?

True.

That was the point of the fb post I made

But you're not going to get a reliable semi-auto around that price.

Sks?

You could build a good rifle for lil over 500 an be good

Sks is plenty reliable a stock SKS is, sure. Just prepare for slow load times and 10 rounds.

I just don’t understand why people *have* to make this connection that because it’s reasonable for a new person to buy economic gear and get training, that somehow a trained person with duty grade gear and more capabilities is going to get yeeted by someone with a Mosin. It’s a fuckin farse.

Don't ask what ive got tied up in mine tho.

Eveyone slacks at somepoint is prolly what they are getting at

My cheapest AR probably cost around 700, it was a Delton that I put some small upgrades into.

@Sparrow yeah, it’s slow but 🤷‍♂️

I have an Aero-build that I put about 1200 into.

No clue whats in my beater toolbox build. But bitch eats an runs everything. The rest if mine i think are over 800 well into 1200

And another Aero-build I put about 1400 into, which I regret terribly, because what the fuck do I need a 7" barrel for.

LOL

7" .300blk or 5.56?

7.5 barrels fits a back pack.😁😁

5.56 hahaha

L

But its 300blk

Rebarrel it for 300?

No, 6” barrel with a law fits in a backpack 😉

it fits in a backpack but if you're going that short and you're not going .300blk or even 7.62x39 you're playing yourself

5.56 is like

1600fps or some shit out of a 7"

@Crye_Salesman been thinking about going a lil shorter.

I mean I could, replacing the barrel is easy. But I think I might actually use that upper, and turn it into a rifle configuration.

Yeah you gotta run 300

I could turn that into a Reccee build. Or just get a BCM.

300 is where it's at for shortys an urban shit imho

Got a 11.5 for urban.

I buy lwrc for a reason

But I do have one AR9 that’s diamondback

Even still that’s like 750 new

Been toying with the idea of a 40cal ar.
