In this environment the package he posted is a killer deal! Figure the mags at 100 bucks, the BUIS at 100, the RDS at 100 or more, hes in the gun for 5ish. In the 2012 panic Pmags were going for 50 EACH!

I'll most likely just have cheap fodder for it so it will never matter. Not in today's circumstances, but I should be able to load for it pretty cheap if things go back to normal. I'm just an idiot trying to get this stuff now lol

You never know what tomorrow will be! I'm betting now might have been the best time.
If I hadn't already bought a couple pew pews and a loud bang bang I'd be all over that deal!

10.5inch is a very good length. It is easy to do room clearing without being so long it's cumbersome. You can also deploy it from the drivers seat of a vehicle if you must.

I don't have any proof as I have never compared with a crono or anything but that is what I have read. When I started building my form 1 all the information I found lead to the 10.5 for a patrol rifle and after carrying it for 10 years or so, I do think it is the best fit.

A couple guys have 7.5 and I do think that god forbid you was to ever fire one off inside it would blow your ear drums. On the range it seams the 7.5 inch is much louder that the 10.5 or 11.5

I'm not an AR guy but recently gave in. Have a buddy that has several and so I went to him. Just wanted a basic decent one so he had me order an upper from Palmetto State Armory and he had blank lowers that he put on a jig and completed. Took him a little over an hour to put it together. Haven't shot it yet but think it will do the trick.
You mean u put it together and you milled the lower, right

Not yet. I'll gather reloading stuff as it becomes available. I know enough guys that I could get enough ammo to fill a magazine lol. Wouldn't help my itch to shoot tho.
imr 4895 has worked flawlessly in cycling for all the ar15's I load for. Tried 4198 with my rr 20 inch varmint and would not cycle properly but gave very good accuracy. The 4198 loads has run carbine length guns I have tried it with fine.

I've got 3 pounds of varget that I'm not using. Had to use varget up for plinking loads but it should do just fine
