These are dark days for the ghouls of the gun-grabber lobby. Even though pro-freedom patriots have suffered some setbacks, in the grand scheme of things, we have them in retreat. Given that, we’re here to make the case for why everyone should have an AR-15, especially in celebration of Firearm Freedom Month.
Naturally, the AR-15 and semi-automatic firearms, in general, have been one of the gun-grabbers’ biggest goals, and they made some headway in some states. But even that will work against the left. When there is no appreciable change in crime statistics, they will lose even that argument — unless they lie.
The problem for the left is that even the left-leaning side of the Supreme Court has acknowledged in case law that these venerable rifles are popular and in common use. William Kirk from Washington Gun Law TV noted in a recent video the existence of an opinion that was authored by Justice Elena Kagan with concurring opinions from Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. At the bottom of page 13 and the top of page 14 of the opinion, Justice Kagan refers to semiautomatic rifles as follows:
Mexico here focuses on the manufacturers’ production of “military style” assault weapons, among which it includes AR-15 rifles, AK-47 rifles, and .50 caliber sniper rifles. See supra, at 6; App. to Pet. for Cert. 121a. But those products are both widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers. (The AR-15 is the most popular rifle in the country. See T.Gross, How the AR-15 Became the Bestselling Rifle in the U. S., NPR [Apr. 20, 2023].)
The gun-grabber ghouls of the left should be reeling from that, given their demonization of what has become colloquially known as “America’s Rifle,” since that was supposed to be...

Let me know.
The piston shoving rearward on the lug that replaces the gas key can cause buffer tube wear by slightly tilting the bolt carrier. Make sure you get a bolt carrier that is modified for use in piston guns to minimize that problem.
Or, get a BRN-180 upper from Brownell's. That'll do away with the buffer tube entirely. You can even choose to use a side-folding buttstock.
Or an AR-10.
I've got a 75 rd drum. Works fine.
Though I can't afford to run thru it anymore.
Could also be incorrect sizre recoil spring in the tube.
she’s a hottie ...
No experience shooting one. Looked at ballistics, The Speer Reloading Manual Number 13 shows that 7.5 grains of HS6 powder can drive their 124 grain Gold Dot bullet to a MV of 1134 fps, and 8.3 grains of HS6 can drive the same bullet to a MV of 1245 fps.
My Dad told me he really liked the Tokarev 7.62x25 pistol he came across on a govt. vacation. Flat shooting, powerful round. But finding ammo was a problem, so he started using a Browning Hipower, which confused the natives, because he kept firing after seven rounds. “Joke’s on you!”

This may come in Handy..
Thanks
With brand new ARs available for less than $500 these days, a used AR doesn't go for very much anymore unless it is a premium brand.
I signed up with this company called Ammo Squared that allow you to have an automatic monthly buy of ammunition and divvy up your purchase among your choice of calibers. They will warehouse the ammo until you ask them to ship. Their prices per round are competitive, and the ammo builds up quickly when you are spending just $20-30 per month.
What gun can hold 100 rounds?
Thompson submachine gun
Thompson submachine gun, caliber .45
Al Capone approved
I can think of 3 more I want to build out... Customizing, right tool for the job, etc... It’s fun. :-)
