Buying a new rifle

[myinfernalbmw]

Other way around.... the 5.56 is loaded to Military pressures, a lot hotter than the standard hunting 223 round.

^This. It's the .308 hunting round that is generally hotter than the 7.62 nato round

Going to a gun show tomorrow (yes we have those here in SF CA lol) to scope some out

.233 is a little hotter round than 5.56 I would not bitch

^^I wish you guys would stop marking everything 5.56 dammit, your government does not like to export the millitary cal.'s to us.

makes it hard to get fun stuff up here... just a nice little .223 marking is all it would take ;)

Bingo...


Stay away from gun shows. They prey on that desire to have it NOW!

Oh don't worry, I was going to go to the show just to buy a lower. Then go from there if I find anything.

I plan on buying 2 rifles and 1 shot gun for my collection..
Colt - 223
Springfield M1A - 308
Benelli semi auto - 12ga
I think buying something quality and that you'll want to keep is key to not wasting $$!

Nice collection but the Colt is in 5.56

If I were to build another AR I would hit up the equipment exchange on AR15.com and the m4carbine.net. There are some great deals on new and slightly used shit. That's where I found the group buy for my Daniel Defense upper, which was a total steal. Knowing what I know now, it would be so much easier to build one cheaper with quality parts.

add a couple of hundred to your top number now and go LMT chambered in 5.56.

I think I'm leaning towards a Colt AR flat top. It's in my price range, plenty of upgrade room, and quality made.

My buddy actually just bought a palmetto at the g&n here in Indy last weekend for 650. Looks like a nice gun but our circle of friends try to not buy the same guns. More variations to shoot at the range. I didn't buy anything bc nothing was priced reasonably. For instance, a used Sig 551 was asking 1700. Yea fucking right.
