Who the fuck cares what normies do?
Ah, I think we've just set the bar at a different level for what's a normie.
I've heard nothing but good things about CMMG even though that's the one PCC I never got to try. As for B&T the biggest hurdle people have when looking at any of their actual guns is the insane price you're going to have to pay to get your hands on one. People like to chide them as Booger and Vomit, Eurocuck Keltec etc etc but I've never had a single issue functionally with any of their guns. I've shot my APC10, SPC9, GHM9, TP9, and have owned multiple APC rifles but I've never had them choke on me or disappoint me in regards to the reliability or accuracy. The SPC9 is sweet because it has near MP5 recoil but is able to run any dogwater ammo out of the worst magazines money can buy while having some AR compatible parts. If only the price was something reasonable like their average PCC costing just south of 2k then they'd be a no brainer. The best part is that if you ever get tired of them you can sell them for some hefty cash because people see "Swiss made" and cream themselves I suppose. Value wise though for the money? Meh.
Why bother? Shotgun is the easiest thing in the world to shoot.
Thats sexy as fuck
i charge $75 plus tax for for a pin/weld job with a cold blue retouch and courtesy inspection and cleaning. a better refinish or if you have something obnoxious to work on nets a $25 additional.
15k and you can buy it!
Favorite "advice" I had heard over the years from the clueless is that merely hearing the sound of a shotgun being racked is enough to send criminals invading your home fleeing.
primarily cost. during the time the M&P Sport was first coming to market, S&W was OEM sourcing the upper and it was cheaper to get one without the FA or dust cover and S&W did a solid and lowered the price of the rifle on the market.
it's been done several times. early receivers from Sendra, Olympic Arms, BFI, and some others were offered in stainless with black oxide and birdsong coating. however the stripped lower receiver alone is 42 ounces or so combined with costs of manufacture vs aluminum alloy. for a little while you could get stamped steel AR lowers, but this was dumb and the AR-18 was better if you wanted a stamped steel gun, or just get an HK roller-delay or AR-180 or AKM or something.
Tolerances for a suppressor are tighter then that.
Ironically, the LGS I mentioned missing was ran by an older guy and he was amazing. He cut me a lot of deals on some of my first guns and walked me through the Silencer Shop process. Current closest LGS is ran by a guy in his mid 40s who just seems to be angry at the world for online shopping existing. I get that it's probably not fun to try to compete with big name retailer prices and it must sting to have to transfer someone a gun that you have in stock yourself, but he definitely doesn't do himself any favors with his customer service.
.300 BLK is an excellent suppressed SBR platform for shooting people inside a building. Personally I think that with current prices on 7.62X39 that 110-125 grain .300 BLK out of a 16" barrel easily outperforms that round and would probably save the end user some cash. That said, whatever you're going to use to defend your home, make sure you regularly train with it.
Even though I wouldn't want something like this even if I could afford it, it's damn cool firearms like this exist.
That one is up there with "just shoot them in the leg." If you ever get the chance, try this with willing training partners and some simunitions. I think you'd be surprised at how these situations go.
I've never run a gun store personally, but one thing I understand about sales is "offer something people would be interested in buying." There's likely a good number of things a local store could do to attract and retain customers that an online retailer couldn't hope to match. I would think that'd be a facet of a local shop's retail strategies so they could reliably turn a profit.
The guns run fine but for the most part they are direct blow back guns so it’s hard to mess that up. The pricing is just insane for a direct blowback gun.
I don't see anything wrong with 300 blackout for a home defense AR build. Especially for suppressed use. Optimal, maybe not, but a fine option among too many.
The problem is people want a dozen guns for these niche applications. Most of the time they don't even shoot them enough to get through the teething process of identifiying problems with the gun itself, much less memorize their holds on that platform.
That's alright, those guys already know I don't take my meds.
Don't you just love idiots who confuse "rare", "scarce" and "one of a kind" with expensive?
That's one of those things that worked once or twice, and now exists as urban legend. Well, great grandpappy did it when those teenage hooligans broke into his home in a 99% white town of 5,000 people back in 1950. So it'll definitely work for you current bughive resident!
its all over the firearms market and it really bothers me.
Each state has different wording on charges so it's not 100% but that sounds like he got pinched for production not possession.
