Bought my 2016 Election Rifle today!

[PaulF]

My first "Election Rifle" was in 2008. I bought my first AR15 (a Bushmaster XM15) when I became convinced Obama would take the election. I overpaid, but part of it was a statement.

Over time I became bored with the rifle and traded it toward my M1A.

In 2012 I bought a Colt 6920 with the intention of keeping it stock. LOL

This year I decided to go all-in on a semi-auto AK clone. I had a Yugoslavian underfolder a few years ago, but was never really satisfied with the gun, so I let it go.

Who knows what Tuesday will bring, so I decided to buy a "Good" AK while I still can.

I chose the Century Arms C39V2, an American-made milled-reciever AK clone. It carries walnut furniture, and is chambered in 7.62x39. It came with one magazine, a Magpul. I purchased two additional Croatian magazines and 120 rounds of Wolf ammo.

I can't wait to fire it.

Good catch! I must have fat-fingered that. I edited to correct.

The time is now. I have two unfinished AR15 projects, my other open tabs are Brownells, PSA and MidwayUSA.

I have built 4 AR's in the last 2 months in anticipation of what ever may come from next Tuesday.

I went into the shop today at 5pm. Handled the carbine. Decided that is what I want. Looked and the shop had magazines. Looked at the shop had a nice red dot to put on it. Handled the rifle again. BSed with the owners and staff (they all know me pretty well). We all agreed that I needed to buy that rifle. My wife even says I can buy the rifle.

I left without it. Probably regret that Tuesday.

I bought an M1A this week for an election rifle. I was stockpiling stripped lowers and mags, then lpk's, then stock kits, then uppers. I haven't built any yet but I now have five or six full build kits tucked away.

 

[rugertoter]

Nice rifles. Hope we don't have to figure out a plan, if our backs get put against the wall.

I've bought a couple things in preparation...

 

[BogWalker]

Haven't been able to spend a lot because I've got schoolin' to pay for, but I bought a few bits and bobs to kick off my INGO lower build, two AK magazines to fill my ammo pouches, and a few hundred rounds of miscellaneous ammunition.

All stocked up on .22LR. Could use more AR-15 magazines. Definitely won't have all the AR parts I need before the panic hits, but the shortage has to end eventually I suppose.

Lots of "old gun" stuff on my shopping list the last panic didn't really touch so I'll work on gathering that up while I wait out the rush on AR components.

Nice rifle !

 

[Kaneda13]

Nicely done! Way to set the bar high... I'm guessing my kids college is out the window now if I want to try and "keep up with the Joneses"

Still a fan of your M1A, PaulF. I'm currently trying to get the remaining parts for my first AR build... which just so happens to be right before election. Didn't plan for this to be an election gun, but had to jump on the INGO lower group buy. Trying to decide if I should hold out for Black Friday deals or just bite the bullet and order everything before its out of stock for 8 months.

Parts are already starting to thin out.
You best just get up and get going on it.
To wait might not be the best decision.
Your call but I have seen a few items become a bit harder to find.

Do most people buy completed uppers or stripped uppers? Never built one. Got my INGO lower coming and thinking I should order the upper. Have an LPK, Trigger, and barrel.

Not sure what else I need after the upper besides buffer tube and stock parts.

Either way on the upper.
All you have to install is the dust cover (if one is needed) and the forward assist (again..??) and BCG with charging handle.

Done! Just ordered the remainder of the needed parts! Feels good knowing I'll have them. Only thing left is to get my barrel and FSB staked.
