You might give a look at the PTR-91, basically a US made HK91. Uses German G3 mags and parts, easy to find and cheap at least last I looked. I like mine. JHC Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Mike 1,038 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 An AR looks more ominous in your hands than a winchester lever action. In a crowd like the looters you may need more than 10 rounds in a 1873 rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
Rattlesnake Slim 303 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Nope, still no interest. Wouldn't even want one for free. But then again, wouldn't trade my Jeep for a Maserati either. I like what I like. Link to post Share on other sites

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 498 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I "adopted" my first AR right before Clinton told me I didn't need one. I built another one just for fun. I'm thinking what I would really like now is a suppressor for my ARs. Link to post Share on other sites
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 446 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I finally broke down and bought one before one of the presidential elections because of talks of more bans. Haven't shot it a lot but it's a good one. I'm in a rural area with no rioting nearby, but I've moved it to the front of the safe. Link to post Share on other sites

Subdeacon Joe 25,871 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 A few years back I bought a few lowers, build kits and uppers before the capons in Sacramento made it impossible. Got them built with the required bullet buttons. Capons changed the rules and decreed that the bullet buttons they required magically turned them into assault weapons. Bought the kits to convert the magazine release to be compliant, along with the easy pull takr down pins. Capons changed the rules again and I said to hell with it. I put on after market stocks that take the place of the pistol grip and adjustable stock and also remove the evil flash hider to make them featureless. That let me go back to the standard magazine release. Link to post Share on other sites

That let me go back to the standard magazine release. That’s what I did. Funny thing is, when I moved back to CA I decided to be a good guy and register...I mean “document” the guns I brought into the state using their BOF-4010A form. I listed the AR receiver that I had. It was not a built gun. The DOJ wanted photos of the completed firearm to ensure it met the regulations so I built a “featureless” AR-15. Had they not required that my receiver might still be sitting in the safe unassembled. Here it is: It shoots great too. Link to post Share on other sites

John Kloehr 993 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Bought 2 stripped lowers when it looked like Hillary was going to be president. Slowly accumulating parts, could assemble the lowers. But have found from shooting others I don't like the rear sight. When I finish them -- and I will finish them -- I might outfit at least one with a scope. So instead of an AR, I do now have an AK and ran 20 rounds today. Made a 5" group at 75 yards. That will do for me. Trigger needs some minor work but it is a very shootable rifle. I get some funny looks at 3 Gun but I don't care. And having watched the news from Katrina, I stole a barkeep's name for his shotgun. He was standing on the roof of his business guarding it against looters. My Maverick 88 is also named kindness. I really would rather not have to kill someone with Kindness, but hopefully nobody ever thinks I have something worth dying for. Not that I have anything worth killing over, but if there is a threat to me or mine... Link to post Share on other sites
