I have (had, before I lost them in a tragic boating accident) a Ruger SP101, a Savage Mk2 in .22, a Mossberg 590 6+1, and I just built my first AR in 5.56 and definitely didn't buy a bump stock when Trump was first considering banning them like a retard.

What do I need next? Feels like I have all my bases covered. I'm considering a break-action side-by-side double barrel like the CZ Bob White G2 because it just looks fun, and I'll totally never, ever saw off the barrel, I promise.

Speaking of bans, once Harris wins in November expect some absolutely INSANE price gouging and panic buying... For YEARS

Call it doom posting or whatever but she'll probably be President until 2032 and that means 2-3 Supreme Court picks 🤮🤮🤮🤮 and I can EASILY seem them "correcting" some of those evil conservative justices rulings ASAP

As for an AWB .... All it takes is a simple Dem majority in the Senate now and a Dem house.... I'd say the chances of one passing on the next few years are higher than they've been in decades. Ex. Trump will probably assfuck the Republican Congressional races in 2026 (just like 2022) and if he's alive in 2028 he'll do the same there too AND 2032 (although I doubt he'll be alive then tbh or at least alive and cogent)

Depending on how things go, people might look back on the past few years of Supreme Court wins the same we've looked back on firearms/ammo prices during the "Trump slump" ever since 2020. At least firearms prices came back down. Ammo pricing never really recovered.

Ammo pricing has never recovered because there's been something driving it up ever since. Covid panic buying, then the summer of love, then billions of rounds to Ukraine eating into supply. If we could get four boring years consecutively, then it'd probably stabilize, but who knows when that'll next happen. Seems we've been damned to live in interesting times.

Pretty much this. The prices are steadily going down for target ammo though. At its worst 9mm was somewhere close to 50¢/round iirc, but now you can easily find it for under 20¢. Still nowhere near pre-Obama prices though.

I always buy my ammo online because it’s much cheaper that way. You pay a bit for shipping because it’s heavy and explosive, but if you buy a lot of rounds at a time then it’s easily offset. I’m still working my way through the 9mm I bought pre-covid. The store accidentally sent me 2000 rounds instead of the 1500 I ordered though so that might be why.

Websites like wikiarms and ammoseek are good resources for cheap target ammo because they comb the web and find the cheapest prices for you.

I started stocking up after listening in on the CDC telebriefing on February 25th 2020, in which they said in a roundabout way to expect school/work shutdowns and whatnot. I managed to have a good supply before the George Floyd crap. I think the worst I did since then was spending 70 cents a round for a case of 9mm Gold Dots at one point.

And yeah, I've always bought online, almost always by the case. I felt bad for my UPS dude in March 2020. One day he delivered 3k rounds of 5.56 and 2k of 9mm. God bless SGAmmo before they started price gouging.
 
I don't know how you guys do it, but when I use Ammoseek I do the free/CF shipping filter and go by that.
I've never found a better deal if I'm paying shipping as the total CPR has just always come out higher. Paying a lil more overall to buy from one of the NO TAX OUTSIDE -state- is sometimes the thing to do, but I always just mostly finish checkout with a fake email to compare CPRs.

You can also look at the color of the lil bar thing next to the listing and it'll tell you how dogshit the shipping is
A lot of these fuckers will list 20cpr or whatever for 5.56 to get their foot in the door, and then after shipping it'll come out to like 60CPR for a sub $500 order.

I got 223 reman from LAX maybe October for 30 or so CPR, but for some reason those faggots think they can get 40 or whatever they're charging now. Up until recently they were tryna jew you out of like 50cpr for fucking reman when the Israel shit kicked off

Also, Springfield makes the SA-35, a very faithful clone of the Hi Power with a better magazine and a few little tweaks.

Have seen people modding those, but it's the same issue that modding an original Hi-Power has where it's a ton for custom work. Also I don't really like the fact that Springfield just gets them as 80% guns from Turkey so that they can technically say "made in America" when they do the final milling/finishing. I don't really care about keeping an original Browning Hi-Power original, and it's not like it's that hard to find with one with messed up finish. It's just that I might as well look at some modern options before modding the bajeezus out of a 40 year old gat when it's gonna end up costing about the same.
 
I've been looking for a 9mm carbine, and while I'm probably going to end up with some kind of CZ Scorpion variant, I found this and thought it was pretty cool.

I've got one in a Magpul stock, it's even lighter than the factory variant. Overall they're pretty fun to shoot. Better feel than a Sub2000. The factory trigger on these is better than a standard 10/22 trigger, feels closer to a BX trigger.

I had the opportunity to shoot both the Ruger and a Scorpion a few weeks back, put about 50 rounds through each, and far and away preferred the Ruger over the Scorpion. Ergonomics, trigger and just overall feel was just nicer.

I have one of these, but I prefer my Kel-Tec Sub2000 Gen 3. It’s a lot lighter, smaller, both take Glock mags, stays in one piece when collapsed, and with the Gen 3 Kel-Tec made the barrel also rotate 90° to collapse (which they should have done from the beginning). It’s my current home defense gun, just waiting to get a can for it.

There is a guy who for some time now has been working on making a 5.56 P90 and has recently released CAD renderings of the necessary modifications to an AR BCG one would need to do to function with this design (red areas represent areas that need to either be chopped or milled, notice how the bolt carrier is much shorter)

Interestingly, in the comments of the post the official KAK industry account (KAK are very friendly to the 3D2A Movement) are offering that if the designer can get all the nitty gritty details worked out they would be willing to sell pre-modified bolts on their site as parts kits.
