I got a call today from someone wanting to sell their ar. It's an m&p-15 with some magpul accessories. It was a price I couldn't pass up. Now I already have an ar but its a sig 516 and I've been kicking around a few ideas on another ar.

 

#1 keep it as is but add a scope.

 

#2 buy a .300 blackout barrel. (Which I really want just ammo is nowhere)

 

#3 make it the ar my students use. Puts less wear and tear on mine

 

#4 shoot it a couple times and sell it

 

Normally the .300 is the way to go but I really don't think that ammo will be around anytime soon

Assuming you are running a business where you are charging ppl for training lessons, #3.  Write it off as a business expense on your taxes.  

 

I also agree .300 blackout ammo isn't gona be readily available anytime soon, and if I was gona scope an AR it would be a precision build, not an MP-15.  

 

edited post, got the # wrong first time around

Or sell me the sig cheap and keep the other....

#2 and start reloading so ammo won't be a concern 

 

Caveat being that components are still somewhat hard to find.

That sig isn't going anywhere. There aren't to many sig 516 patrol rifles that have been made nj legal.

I have reloading equipment but its easier for me to get ammo then reloading supplies so I haven't bothered.

So now you have 2 AR's?

 

You're way behind the power curve. Catch up.

 

Lol

You could do number 4 and then donate the rifle to the needy. I'm pretty needy.

I've had previous but 2 now

He already has an ar. And yes there are pics of him with it. I obviously proved there is nothing wrong with doing that.

Guy just dropped it off.

M&p-15 orc with magpul miad grip and bad lever. I just tossed the sights that came on my sons m&p-1522 on it for now.

lol 

obviously its not easier if you can't find 300 BLK.. keep that whole upper the way that it is... then just build another 300 BLK upper.. now the AR is dual purpose.. use that S&W upper on it to teach.. and use the 300 BLK for your own use... 

 

win win win.. 

A twist to vladtepes suggestion...Use it for the class, then, if the 300BLK becomes more plentiful, convert it once you squirrel away a couple thousand rounds...again, a win - win!

 

 

I personally have a hard time selling a gun...most guys you talk to say "yea, I had one of those, and I never should have sold it"

If it was s can't pass up price, it's likely not easily replaced at the Price you paid. So keep it for whatever the reason. Maybe the reason for having it will be obvious over time.

 

Does there really be a need to have another gun.

I got a greeeat price. I didn't haggle either. He said a price and I said yes. I know the owner. He doesn't have a range membership. Only went once with me so we are talking 100 rounds though it. I didn't need it but it was to good to pass up.

 

Here is where I'm at with it now

 

Magpul fixed carbine stock

Vltor buffer tube

Magpul enhanced trigger guard

Magpul hand guard

Magpul 15/30 pmag

 

Already had

Magpul bad lever

Magpul grip

 

I'm saying scope it and put on some back up sights.

 

Looking good so far!!

I like it.  I noticed you changed the buffer tube to change the stock.  Was the buffer tube not re-usable at all?

I don't even bother trying to separate them. The factory tube on a nj compliant rifle is usually longer and has solid metal in the end. To I just replace in one shot. The vltor tubes are very well made. I installed 2 today and both went on smoothly.
