6/6/2012 7:54:32 PM rx7dryver: H53EXPERT: I don’t understand how Magpul Handguards can be too big. You rest the front of the rifle on your hand, and wrap your fingers up as much as they will go. There is no reason to have to be able to wrap your hand all the way, or even anywhere near to all the way, around the handguard. It is certainly not necessary to wrap you hand around them. I guess I am used to thinner profile rifle stocks. I cut my teeth using narrow rifle stocks such as those found on a Winchester featherweight, Savage 99 and the like. I know what you mean. Most of my handling time has been with M16 and thin carbine size stocks. But having to use different ones is just a matter of adapting. It is like when I have to go to work. I fly throughout the country and have to get a rental car. They all feel different, but I still drive them. hotdog250j

1/11/2012 9:40:44 AM i just went through the same process over the past month. after alot of reading a bothering these guys on here i decided to go with the spikes mid length. from all the research ive done i would say that bravo company and spikes are the best quality for the money. imo. BiggerStick47 1/11/2012 9:43:09 AM Don’t roll the dice, just get the Colt and be done with it. Chris_C 1/11/2012 10:19:40 AM The Stag Model 3′s are a good rifle and easy on the wallet.

Gacksnabbit 1/11/2012 10:52:16 AM It is probably easier to list what ARs not to buy, by brand, than to list all the good ones out there. Discuss. lowcountry 1/11/2012 10:56:34 AM At the prices you can get a Daniel Defense, I think they are the absolute best bang for the buck. cmeyer001 1/11/2012 10:57:52 AM I might look at the PSA Midlength 16″ Lightweight Hammer Forged Barrel Complete Kit for 599. (with MOE furniture is 679.00) and then add an 80.00 lower receiver to it. You get a smoking rifle for 759.00 plus shipping / transfer on the receiver. I realize is not complete, but theAR-15 Accessories is a pretty easy, pretty fun thing to assemble. And you’ll learn alot by doing it. Then add a BUIS (Daniel Defense 1.5 fixed rear is nice and cheap ) and a decent sling and you are good to go. Probably have the whole thing put together including a couple of PMags, rear BUIS and a good sling for just about 850.00 That extra 150 can go to cleaning kit, more mags, or as the initial seed money for an Aimpoint T1. Hard to beat. I bought one of their NATO 20″ complete uppers and the thing has been flawless and accurate for about 1000 rounds so far, I anticipate continued solid performance. They seem to have a very good product for a VERY good price. Medicfrost 1/11/2012 11:01:16 AM My favorite deal right now: $799 Spikes Middy GeorgeWA 1/11/2012 11:50:32 AM +1 on buying the upper and complete lower seperately. I bought an LMT 16″ Defender 2000 (std patrol model) that way and got it for $825 (plus tax and shipping). Saved $300 over buying a complete rifle from one place. As someone else said, probably easier to list what not to buy… bhasi

I’ve been deciding on going with a more traditional M4 type telemagpul Stock or a Magpul UBR,,,,I think I’ll opt up for the Magpul UBR. Not really proprietary, as there are other Magpul Stocks from different manufactures that also use this tube such as the Sully magpul Stock. Originally Posted By metroplex: The Magpul UBR is heavy. I put that lower on my 16″ M4 and although it is balanced, it feels very heavy compared to my SCAR 16. I only use the Magpul UBR with my 24″ HBAR setup, which is already heavy. I can’t fathom using the Magpul UBR with a SBR. I love it on my PSD, it balances it out excellently paine

Hunters across country say they are boycotting Colorado over new gun control laws
Hunters across the country say they are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.Colorado last week became the first Western state to ratchet back gun rights in response to mass shootings at a suburban Denver movie theater and an elementary school in Connecticut. Opponents warned that the gun controls would hurt hunters, especially an expansion of background check requirements to apply to personal and online gun sales.

Grassroots Alert: Vol. 20, No. 13 03/29/2013

Sen. Jeff Flake: Universal background checks ‘a bridge too far’
Sen. Jeff Flake, Arizona Republican, said Sunday that universal background checks on all gun sales are “a bridge too far for most of us” as Democrats try to cobble together a package that can win 60 votes in the Senate.

The NRA, CRPA, FFLGUARD Oppose City of South San Francisco’s Proposals to Ban the Sale of Hollow-Point Ammunition and Require Registration of all Ammunition Sales
The proposed ordinance mandates the reporting of all ammunition sales over 500 rounds to local law enforcement, and requires retailers record the purchasing information for all sales of ammunition and keep the records for two years. The ordinance also seeks to ban the sale of ammunition identified in the ordinance as “ballistically-identical” to “black talon” ammunition, and any ammunition manufactured only for law enforcement and/or military use. Although the ammunition sales ban is ambiguously crafted, the Staff Report indicates that the City interpreted the ordinance to ban hollow-point ammunition. Both proposals represent a step in succumbing to the pressure exerted by the City of San Francisco, which has a long history of ill-conceived, stringent gun control and is seeking to push its agenda and impose its will on neighboring cities.

Hardy: For Democrats, is gun control worth the effort?
In January 1994 – less than a year into President Clinton’s first term – George Stephanopoulos received a memo from Jody Powell. “If there is an area that needs ‘new thinking, ‘rethinking, ‘a different kind of Democrat,’ and all that, crime/gun control is it,” Powell wrote. “As much as I hate to say it, the NRA is effective primarily because it is largely right when it claims that most gun control laws inconvenience and threaten the law-abiding while having little or no impact on violent crime or criminals.”Would criminals comply, Powell asked, and, if not, can we effective enforce the laws? “If the answer is ‘no’ in both cases,” he continued, “consider whether the benefits are worth making Bob Dole majority leader.”Powell was prescient. A year later, Dole was indeed the Senate majority leader, and Newt Gingrich Speaker of the House. The new legislative leadership reduced welfare benefits, cut the capital gains tax, and impeached Bill Clinton.

Pushing back on arbitrary gun bans
Even though Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has stripped the controversial “assault weapons” ban out of the Democratic gun-control package headed to the Senate floor, Sen. Dianne Feinsteinhas vowed to graft parts of her arbitrary ban onto other gun-control legislation with bipartisan support. Throughout this process, the California Democrat and some of her colleagues have engaged in predictable public theatrics, factual distortions and outright scare tactics to obscure the real issues regarding gun violence in America.
