      Do you guys know about 45 Raptor yet? .308+.460 S&W 1.8" case intended for AR 10

      I was all about the .45 Raptor...even purchased a 308 lower/upper combo. After tons of research, i ended up deciding against it. Cost, parts and reliability all affected my decision. I ended up going with building my own .308 AR. Easiest build and most reliable rifle I own. Runs like a...

      Best SHTF Vehicle (consumer-grade, within reason)?

      Mitsubishi Montero/Pajero. Parts are everywhere and pretty much interchangeable for about 20 years.

      Is 40S&W that unwanted?

      I just want to say I am a fan of the 40 s&w. I love actual testing and data over opinions. The October issue of American Rifleman really drove home a point to me. On pages 42-43 it reviewed the new Sig premium defense ammo. The thing that stuck in my head after test firing .380, 9mm, .40...

      Obtuse gunshop/range statements

      Obviously people think that they are above answering and educating those that know less than you. What makes you think you are superior because you know something they dont? Take the time to be a ambassador for firearms and the shooting sport in general. The basic facts are we need numbers and...

      Rand Paul's Flat Tax Proposal

      Which is great except for Federal tax, Social Security, Medicare, Indiana State, Indiana local, and CEDIT taxes. We would still be at the 35% they take (combined) from my paycheck.

      Do not use a tourniquet???

      They use tourniquets in surgery when working on a specific limb. I know for a fact that people come out with all of their limbs. I would bet it has much more to do with the amount of time the tourniquet is left on versus using one to stop blood loss.

      What do you consider a "custom" AR

      Why would this be? The gas system works the same, the parts ....oh the parts. Gotcha now. I had an epiphany while typing.

      Not random guesses personal experience. If you want to have fun...go back and check your math....45 plus 30 equals 80 doing it your way.... Read mine for content....I made the mistake of putting 308 AR in my first post. My bad. Your opinion versus mine.... amazing.....

      Looking at a 308 need help

      I own an older savage so I don't know if it still holds true. Can you still just buy a different barrel for different calibers with the new Savages Like you could with the older models? I enjoy what I have but just asking. Go me, that would be a selling point.

      What do you consider a "custom" AR

      Just throwing it out there... What if it was a AR in a caliber the end user came up with or made that wasn't available otherwise? To me that is a custom. Anything else would be customized, even if it came from DD. ...readily available parts to the consumer in a different configuration ...

      Lol...glad you know so much. Doing a custom build on 308 AR platform. I haven't experienced the compatability issues so far with my parts that you speak of and my parts prices were much cheaper...not using a Palmetto Armory anything. I just threw it out there as an example of parts pricing...
