BOOMSTICK

Looks like I might be better off doing walk-ins to some local shops to see what's on the shelves to avoid some of the extra fees invovled in making things NJ legal. It sucks that people showed some interest in the items I have for sale in the NJGF-list section but no takers. Maybe when I get some money up, I can offer one of those things + cash for a used AR on here.

What about something like this?? UPPER: http://www.surplusammo.com/surplus-ammo-arms-chrome-lined-ar-15-m4-16-upper-receiver/ LOWER: http://www.surplusammo.com/surplus-ammo-arms-ar15-complete-lower-with-collapsing-stock/

I just looked at aimsurplus and saw that they sell complete uppers and lowers for cheap. Would I need tools to slap the two together?? Sure, I would love to build a high quality AR but with my budget at the moment, it would take FOREVER. This is why i'm looking to do this as cheap as possible, have something to play with at the range WHILE I replace parts. To be honest, I'm not a fan of the standard AR sight and would rather use flip up's of some sort from the beginning. I do like that magpul handguard though. Even better....if someone here has what i'm looking for in the $600.00 range??

Since this will be my first AR style rifle, I would love to keep things as simple as I can but with some of the features I want. I'm still up in the air as to purchase or build. If I was to build a bare-bones, absolute minimum with the budget of a 7th grader with lawn mowing money...What could I build? Is it as simple as purchasing the cheapest complete upper and cheapest complete lower and bolting together?? If so, what would be cheapest uppers and lowers be that had the options that I list below?? I'm talking low budget. I'm not looking for features of a full mil-spec rifle but I would want it to look close. I'm also not looking for the most dependable parts at the moment. I want something that will ease me into the AR world that I can upgrade at a later time. Where could I find the CHEAPEST flat top 16" upper with a quad rail that I could mount my own flip up sites and/or optics to with a NJ legal comp already installed?? Where could I find the CHEAPEST "complete" lower with pinned stock?? This would be just a 223/556 range plinker for now.

I see that this is new and reasonably priced. Opinions? http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=45&section=products

I think some of you guys are hiding your true feelings to be on the hate bandwagon.

Funny you said that. Hi-Point was the first thing that came to mind when I first saw the pic. Like I said, this is more of a show/hang on the wall thing. Is there a round about price listed anywhere? Looks like a rifle from Cowboys Vs. Aliens.

I actually find it a refreshing idea mixing old and new into one firearm like that. It's different and more for a show & tell reason to buy.

Well, I'm originally from South Carolina as a kid and the idea has been tossed between my wife and I to move there.

Is there a place where I can find a chart that compares different state firearm laws? Example would be showing what the magazine limit for each state and such.

So do some of you answer your door at that time of night with a firearm behind your back?

Browns Mills is butted up against the base and I hear strange noises all the time. So often that I don't even pay attention to them anymore. There have been some VERY low flying helocopters buzzing around in recent months that werent there before a half a year ago.

Thanks for the link. Now you have me thinking of building the most basic of basic AR's and upgrade parts as money lets me.

Where is the JSE upper that you are talking about? I'm on the site but don't see it.

About $600.00 That seems to be the average for the Sport from what I can see.

It would seem that as of late, my mind has been drowning in the thoughts of owning an AR. As with a lot of you, I am on a pretty tight budget which means that my choices are going to be slim. Sure, I could build myself a top of the line zombie blasting machine but that would take too long with how often money finds its way into my wallet. Being a fan of M&P's, I have been reading up on the basic M&P 15 SPORT. I have only heard two complaints about this rifle. No forward assist and no dust cover. From what i'm reading, both of which arent really needed. I guess my questions are as follows.. If I do end up getting an M&P 15 SPORT, how upgradeable is it if I wanted to do so down the road? Could I get a BCM (example) upper and just swap without issues? If I wanted to look more "tacticool", could I replace the handguard?

He's lucky it wasnt his final hour.

I wonder if anyone thinks that the woman might have done it and came up with the story that he did it himself?

I don't think this was posted yet. At least I don't see it. This is on Fox29's site today. http://www.myfoxphilly.com/dpps/news/police-navy-seal-accidentally-shoots-self-dpgapx-km-20120105_16840631

Understood.

So is posting prices from the Price Request Tool allowed?? Or do all of us have to use the price request tool to find out the real price on this gun?

I just talked to him on the phone about it and I got, "OK Dad, no problem". I gave a quick version of the article to him and I almost got upset at the thought but he understands which is good.

I do agree that the officers acted accordingly. It made me think about my 12 year old son who got a couple of really nice airsoft guns for Christmas from me a couple weeks ago. Both of which are replicas of real firearms (with an orange tip of course.....but still). As much as I trust him not to take them to school, one of the first things I am doing in a couple of hours is to lock them up with my guns.

$3.10 in Browns Mills near Ft Dix.
