No problem. I don't think Woodbridge is near me, otherwise if you got an M1A I'd ask you let me shoot it. I absolutely love them. If you were near here, I know Bob's little sportshop has them, and you can always check out gunbroker if you don't mind having it shipped to an FFL. I think you can find them in quite a few places. If you chose to go for a Garand, I think USNMars on the forum is planning on a CMP trip at some point. talk to him, might save you a little cash to carpool to the CMP place, though admittedly I don't know much about the CMP.

Go for it, you might be able to make some cash on it. I just ask you give me a % for planting the seed. Nothing major, maybe 10%. Then again, I'm the type of person who, if they won like $100 million in the lottery (after taxes) would likely give away at least a quarter of it, save some, pay off my student loans, and buy myself one sexy M1A haha.

Le bump to de bump, to de bump bump bump. If no one offers anything soon, I'll just order online. My brother's father in law is going to a show around the 1st, and is going to tell me of any good deals he sees. So.... you have till then I suppose. I'd also like to buy spare firing pins, but I'd really like to get a BCG right now. Offer up my friends.

Yeah, I knew it would be hard to do, but it would have saved a ton of trouble when I was doing my build. I like the thing Brownell's has, but the problem with thiers is the limited variety, and (obviously) it only shows the products they carry. Include a calculator on the side so you can tabitulate the total costs, and it would be a one-stop place for anyone wanting to build the AR. I can only think of how much web traffic it would get, there would be a good bit of cash for all involved. XD

Yeah, it's not just the limited parts, but allowing for the people to shop around too would be a key. It would probably get some pretty good ad revenue...

Yeah, unfortunately I'm a biology guy, not a computer science guy....

I would like a 3 prong comp. I love those things.

Just saw this, once I get my AR built, I'll be picking some of these bad boys up! Particularly the metal ones made by Pk90. These are much cheaper than I expected. Airsoft AR style mags are sometimes more expensive XD Good thinking, and thanks Maks!

Fortunately they have little in the way of resources. With the percentage of resources they pour into one rocket, we have more than enough to Glass them. Furthermore, China seems to be distancing themselves for the most part. Don't fear them too much. Though they spend a massive amount of their GDP on their military, overall it's not much.After all, 60% of $100 is only $60. South Korea spends only like 20% of their GDP, but since they actually export goods, their 20% ends up equating to like, 10 times the amount of money as North Korea. N Korea also has mostly outdated weaponry including early model AKs, and Soviet tanks from teh '50s and '60s. In the event of war, they'd likely be crushed. Particularly if our military were smart and did things like offer the people food, and stuff.

You're a "Texas Shooter" but never had an AR? I always thought that when a Texan was born, they came out with an AR in their hands.... Sounds nice, and yeah, the demand has REALLY shot up the wait time...XD.

I have had an idea for something that I think would make a decent website, where we could sell ads and stuff. I've seen something similar, but it was fairly limited, maybe there's a better one out there. Unfortunately, I don't have the required knowledge, so if you decide to move through with the idea, just hook a brotha up a bit. Anyway, here goes. I was thinking, with the plethora of different AR parts out there, and all the different options, it would be cool to have a website where one could combine different companies parts and see what their final AR should look like. It would be independent of suppliers, but, for example, if you liked the Stag A3 upper, it would provide links to online retailers so you could shop for the best price. I think Brownells has something similar, but it's relatively limited in scope. I think this would help those who are new to ARs really figure out what they want to build. Just an idea I had...

M1As run about $1,000-$1600 from what I've seen. Usually the ones I've looked at are about $1400. M1garands are usually abou $600-$800. I mean, it depends on what you like. Garands fire the .30-06, M1As fire the .308, not too sure what the difference in cost between the two rounds is. If you prefer magazine fed weapons, then the M1A is good for that. And of course, you could always buy both, and give me the one you don't want!

That's true. I'm like that with Rob Andrews. I hate that he's anti-gun, because he's always been very good to my family, and really seems to care, unlike most politicians.

It should do that if you get some decent optics for it. M1A was one of our most accurate rifles. Personally, they're my favorite rifle of all time.

Not quite, but better than a Magpul gun. Thinking about it, I'm not even a huge fan ot ARs, which is probably why I'm so damn picky XD. I think it's mostly appearance wise, the magpul stuff has such a goofy look I think. Then again, I love wood and steel on a rifle. ..

I was thinking that it was set off, and the pressure caused the casing to explode. He likely got injured from that I guess. But I still find this a little fishy.

...How did he get hit in the shoulder dropping it on the floor? I've been curious if a ballpeen would fire a .22 round. Never stupid enough to try though.

As long as they keep Topguns, I don't care. Never liked Topshelf, I mean, Topshot. Topguns is way better, though I don't think they effectively balance the challenges all the time.

It would have been sweet if someone countered with some statistics showing how few legal firearms are used in crime. Or the correlation between legal ownership, and decreased crime rates. Then again, he likely would put his hands over his ears, and yelled," LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LA LA LA"

Haha, well if you know of what I want in my AR build, you probably realized I hate all things mall ninja. IE, my favorite rifle is the M1A. Plus I want nothing to do with a 16" barrel, gotta have that old school 20" one. You're probably right though. I think it's usually the fans of stuff that turns me off of it.

Didn't see a price, but my ADD may be kicking in. Thinking of getting a shotgun after my AR, if this thing isn't crazy, I may save for a bit and pick it up.

I LOVE THAT SCOPE. As for big booties/legs/etc.... is it weird that I go nuts for a girl with nice eyes? Sure the rest has to be there, but if they have those pretty eyes, it brings it all together.

Maybe I've been a little harsh on them. At the risk of sounding like a hipster, I tend to dislike stuff everyone raves about. (IE- my controversial statement to my friend that I like ELO better than the Beetles) or other stuff like that. Maybe I'll get a magpul piece, or a few mags for my AR build, and maybe it'll change my opinion.

Haha, I think we should. Well it's all about the media really. I'm not surprised this country has been conditioned of late to believe that bitching and moaning will get you whatever you want. Something like 49% are now receiving free stuff from the government. Justice, Hardwork, and Freedom are shadows of a time passed now...

That's true. I don't like the idea of plastic sights honestly. Perhaps most of my dislike is superficial, however Reading various things online, people talk about magpul like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Also, I've always disliked adjustable stocks. Then again, at 5'7" it seems like fixed stocks are the perfect length for me. I still hate the FMG9 though.
