Got a few 80% lowers with his markings

What’s the best way to get a rifle? Also cheapest? AK or AR? Private sales or shop or build? Any suggestions for a 500ish budget?

Shop AK and AR, both usually are in the lower 400's sometimes

My cousin found a Palmetto state AR for $397

That's pretty good

I got a Springfield Saint in FDE personally from Sportsmans for $800

Bit pricey, but it's accurate as hell

Dang @PantherUnit01

Thanks for the info

Anyone got a favorite online place to look?

Cheaper than dirt has 556 rounds in stock who knows for how long

Cheaper than dirt also price gauges

Question. Is the 8.5mm still a common round?

not to my knowledge no

Okay.

You'll see why in a little

Speaking of 8.5 french, What if we modified it to use smokeless powder and make it rimless?

Which one?

Also here's the gun.

The French 8.5mm French Lebelle

ah yes the ye olde Desert Eagle

I liked this gun in BF1

Same

now that i think about it

I wouldn't say same but as a BF1 player it's hard to disagree

When its ejecting spent cases it kinda does remind me of the Desert Eagle

The proto-desert eagle

And lighter

if you get something from PSA, go with an AK build; their AR's tend to be over-gassed (gas tube holes slightly oversized). You can pick up a $20-ish adjustable gas block, if you can find it.

AKs tend to last longer than ARs when over-gassed.

Haha pure genius

@Equalibrium thanks, will look for that

Government is going to give you 250$ for a 2000$ rifle and call it a “buyback”

Exactly

It ‘devalued’

Better not touch my $3000 AR <:Greta:720119386668531763>

Or i shall be forced to teach them the dangers of being on the wrong end of a loaded firearm

Was a 3k AR worth it? Why not just spend 1k or less? I have no experience with rifles FYI

I gots a question

What bolt action rifle should I get as my first?
