Mega Rad Gun Thread

[SuperConglomerateWhale]

My form was approved for the PP bizon SBR (still waiting for the parts to ship from stincusa tho), I ordered the stock and optic. My AR9 build now begins its planning phase. View attachment 6386066
I am thinking of something like this. Colt mags are a must, debating on HK sights but I think I will be using an aimpoint comp m2 unless I find another dot i like. Need a light suggestion I'm not too familiar with surefires or lights in general other than to avoid olights. I want a binary for funsies, if you kiwis have any suggestions for the lower I was mainly looking at this CMMG radial delayed blow back lower but not set in stone. I would prefer to completely build the upper myself. So any suggestions there would be greatly appreciated as-well. I have a NFA AR9 that takes MP5 mags but it kinda sucks ass as the tolerances for the magwell is shit. I had to add tape to every mag I own real german or otherwise. It was a pretty well known problem and NFA might fix it if I send it in but I won't.

This is why I bought a Cx4 Storm.

I run a cmmg radial delayed blow back. You need their barrel and bolt, and their Colt mag lower for their upper. Otherwise you have to have their modification kit for other Colt mag lowers that changes the magazine height and you will have to remove the ejector. The Colt lower is also mag sensitive. I have the Metalform kit and use those mags.

I also just run a regular lower and Endomags which eliminates the need for a special lower, and the Endomags run great. Keep in mine you would again use the Endomags for the CMMG RDB upper.

Instead of a binary trigger, get a CNC version of the Hoffman Tactical Super Safety. Just don’t tell anyone you own it, and don’t post videos online of it.

I'm considering buying ammo online for the first time. Always been a buy it at a shop with cash guy. I gotta say, looking at it, shipping is a bitch. I was looking on luckygunner.com for 7.62x39mm and 38 special btw. You basically have to buy in bulk or get raped, or else it's better to buy in person it seems if you just want a box or two. If there are ways to get free shipping on different sites I'm all ears.

Edit nvm Midway is way cheaper on shipping lol

They have to ship by ground which adds to shipping costs. Unless you're getting a box or two of unobtanium like 6.5 Grendel or .44-40, it's best to buy in bulk packs of hundreds.

SG ammo has free shipping over $200 I believe. Other sites do the same

Yeah it seems like it just looking around. There is a supply of high quality Belom 7.62x39mm ammo in a 480 pack that probably would be worth it, but at the same time I could buy a 45acp hi point carbine or something in that range for the same price that's already on my wishlist.

Thank you, that's helpful!

There is a site called ammoseek, but the cheapest ones on there usually don’t include shipping.

Well that is unfortunate then lol. I don't often drop 200 all at once on ammo because of money reasons. Probably will stick with shops for the time being, buying a box here or there unless it's some super rare shit. I need to buy some tbh, still got a gift card to a place, easily can pick up a box of 38.

Ngl I think one of the 40 cal versions would be sick.

I find it’s much cheaper in bulk, but some of the big outdoor stores will do price matching.

Well that's good to know about price matching at least. I'd like to buy in bulk, but I'd need that money on hand first and not need it for other things. Right now, nor so much. Buying a box or two per paycheck is where I'm at rn.

Depending on where you are buying that’s like getting groceries at a convenience store vs Cosco. If you have a couple hundred rounds for your carry and your defensive long gun, then chill out and save up for bulk ammo.

You compared the price of a bulk ammo purchase to the cost of another gun. Do you want to be prepared and practiced, or be a gun collector. Not trying to be rude but your budget isn’t letting you be both. My budget and most others are in the same boat with you.

I mean it's just what I've always done. And I have a decent horde from it. It's not efficient, lol no, but it works.

Still ill consider this. Really it just depends where I think the wind is blowing. Do I want ammo today when i know i can get it, or wait and risk another 2020 shortage? I remember that all too well and it sucked. I don't think it's likely but things can happen quickly. Might just do both tbh.

Your best bet for your current method is to find somewhere that price matches, and then have them match the cheapest you find on ammoseek. Honestly that would be near as makes no difference to bulk online.

That is probably the best option tbh. I know which stores have good stocks of ammo most of the time in my area. I'd just have to check on price matching. Thanks man.
