Why Everyone Needs An AR-15

[SeanT]

Not gonna lie, I thought that AR-15 is a necessary tool for every individual or family

 

[JAL]

Because there are others ahead of it in the que.
I also purchased one of the 2024 Ingo lowers.
Haven't decided which way to go with it either.

I'm running out of new calibers to build up AR's.

You need extra ones on hand for new calibers that haven't been created yet . . . so all you need do is acquire or build the upper!

 

[JAL]

Duplication is good too. 1 is none and 2 is one.

How many AR's should you have?
x = (n+1), x < y, where
x is the desired number to have
n is the current number one has
y is the number at which the significant other packs up and leaves, unless the significant other's departure is desired.

Redundancy guards against unplanned downtime from unanticipated failure and provides availability during planned maintenance. Just one redundancy results in increased availability by entire orders of magnitude.

You are an enabler just like the rest of INGO.

I have an AK.

I have an AK.

I have some of each

Oh, one of those who swing both ways, ehhh?

Sounds like you are interested in exploring the "lifestyle"? Be careful! Just like AR's, AK's also have a way of multiplying in the gunsafe.

 

[Kdf101]

BOTH WAYS? I also have a 6.5 CM, so that is solidly caliber non-binary!

So very brave of you to come out of the gunsafe!

A correction to the video, the AR 15 was made for the Civilian population. It was only when a Air Force General shot one a 4th of July BBQ and liked it that Armalite was asked to make a Military version with select fire.

On July 4, 1960, Air Force General Curtis LeMay unknowingly set in motion the steps necessary for the AR15 to become widely regarded as "America's Rifle."

If you just build it up as a lower to stash for later, don't put a shoulder stock on it. If you have an upper less than 16" (i.e. a pistol upper), put that on it first with nothing but the buffer tube (no stock or brace), and document it with photos. If made as a "pistol" first it can be married with a rifle upper and stock, and reverted back to a pistol later. If married first with a shoulder stock before being made into a pistol, it's forever a rifle until the end of time and can never be a pistol. One of the wacko inexplicable things with the ATF regarding pistols and rifles. AR Pistols are still legal . . . the ongoing litigation is all about whether or not you can put braces on them with injunctions regarding braces (as of today) still in place. That's why I've always bought stripped lowers which are annotated on the 4473 by the seller as "Other" in Block 16, versus "Handgun" or "Long Gun".

Were the watermelons wearing flak vests? Asking this for someone in the West Wing.

General Curtis Lemay.. may have been USAF (And USAAF), but the man loved his guns.

The way things are going in this country you cannot rely on any level of government to keep its citizens safe. The career politicians have completely failed to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. With all the illegal aliens invading our country we all have to be prepared to defend our families and property. For example, the illegal aliens who beat the crap out of two uniformed NYPD officers in Times Square. It can happen anywhere. Indy is not safe either and you gotta be ready. We all have to pray and hope Biden is not reelected, it may be our last hope.
Peace!

 

[SnoopLoggyDog]

These are some really good reference books on the AR-15.


The Patrick Sweeney books are also very informative.

 

[BigMoose]

Do these count?

Mine have the stabby thing attachments...

If Biden is reelected, even Obi-Wan Kenobi won't be able to save us.

So when do we get the Lightsaber Bayonets...
