What AR-15 do you own

[Buckmaster]

Anyone have a quick review on this Magpul?

My brother in law's brother just bought one then got laid off a couple days later from his job.

He may need to quick supplemental cash.

You are paying more for the Sig name and also for the piston system. Its not a DI like most AR15s its a piston system. Other than that I intensely dislike CTD b/c they are scum.

Good guns. Not my first choice for value for dollar. If the price is right I don't know of any major complaints about them. I had a Sig and it was great.

I haven't research much of the AR platform so now may be the time. My BIL says it will probably be available pretty soon for sale. Its brand new. Also, it wouldn't be registered in my name in case the govt comes looking.

If anything a shorter barrel it's stiffer leading to better accuracy. However you also lose your length of sight plane which decreases accuracy. What you definitely lose is velocity which decreases the maximun frangible range. This is probably what they meant because of I recall it is about that much less in an m4 vs m16.

Frangible range?

Fragmentation was what I meant when I typed frangible. It is the main way the military ammo works on live targets.

My son and I got the opportunity to spend the day together so we decided to head for Cabelas. I had a $100.00 gift card, I got for my birthday, burning a hole in my pocket and I needed to get my AR scoped. I decided on the Vortex Crossfire II in a 4-12x44 and a Burris P. E. P. R.one piece mount. I love the look and the way it comes up and settles in. Can't wait to get to the range.


We had to make a lunch stop at Cheddars while in the area. Yum! Just an all around awesome day!

Wow that's a interesting research. Will have to go back to it as it's too much to grasp at one time.

That's a sweet looking setup Don! I like the choice of optics as well!

Glad you had a great day with your son Don. Looks like an excellent setup!

All around a good day Don!

A buddy and I are wanting too build a couple for ourselves and being once I own a gun I rarely get rid of it I'm not worried about the resale aspect.... I'll let the kids worry about that after I'm gone lol....
