Well with a new assault weapons ban looming, I finally purchased my first AR. It's a American Tactical Omni polymer lower with a DTI upper chambered in 5.56.

Of course, we will be expecting a range day and full review ;D
-
Looks good Sig. Nice purchase.
I just bought some spare Mec Gar magazines for my P-226. Just in case the high capacity pistol mags go away also.

"Nice" very "Nice"

My response to recent events:
I'm going to wait a couple of months, and then I'm going to buy a Springfield M1A.
Two reasons:
--I've always wanted one
--The two combat vets I've asked, both of whom have fought and killed with a M16/M4, would pick an M1A over an AR-15 any day of the week...

Ok

Congrats Sig.

Congratulations Sig!
I did the same thing. I bought an M&P 15 22 just for fun. And it is CHEAP fun. But it did make me want for more! LOL
So after the election I decided that I had better get one just in case there would be a problem later. I bought the RRA ATH. Wow that thing is a tack driver and I love it!
Looking for some range reports ;D
-
M1A is a nice present for yourself OldGray. Wouldn't mind one myself. But why wait a few months? There was one at X-Ring two days ago (I was in there buying an XDs). You can also get an M1 Garand from the CMP.
-
I heart my Garand! It is an beautiful rifle and probably my favorite to shoot. I've been wanting an M1A myself.
-
I taught and shot M-14 and M-16 marksmanship in USMC. Although I can’t say that I noticed any down-range target performance differences, I did have to hold my nose when the M-16’s started phasing in. Or maybe it was because the M-14 was phasing out. To really put salt/lemon juice solution on the open wound: We were told the M-14’s were going to the reserves!
Still, now I would welcome an AR.

The way things are going now, you are lucky to get a good one at a decent price. Prices they are selling right now are ridiculous.
Sig, let us know how it goes at the range - also, don't forget they like to run wet, really wet.

I wouldn't waste my money to buy any "tatical weapon" such as an AR-15 now, because you probably will be turning it over to the gobmnt soon. Money wasted. Also heard any semi-auto loader with a mag bigger than 10 rounds of ammo has to go. If you have a gun with a larger mag you will have to get 10 rounders.
-
I believe if any ban comes out of these discussions that current owners will be grandfathered.

From people I've talked to, that won't happen. Too many out there and people will not turn them in.

I am pretty sure that the government would not knock on your door and ask for your assault rifle. I am afraid that would cause a whole new set of problems. And where would they find someone brilliant enough for the job???????

It seems some of you guys have not read the proposed Obama gun ban list yet.

I don't have and don't want an AR-15 myself, but I would consider this list before I spent hard earned money to buy and "assault weapon" type firearm. I have a SR9 that holds was standard with 2 17 round mags + 1 on the chamber. That will be illegal if the ban goes into effect. 10 round mags are the max allowed in this new Fed. ban. Now Maryland already has a 10 round limit. Looks like I may have to get a couple more mags. I read today that if the ban is passed, they could add more weapon and ammo to the list yet.
-
It's from 09.
-
It looks like they copied and pasted in the list from the original AWB.
-
I don't know if this is an 09 list, but I'm betting it will include all these and more add since then.
-
Are you guys following the price gouging on anything related to these items - lowers, magazines, ammo...? Manufacturing is through the roof right now...
-
oh yeah.... tried to buy some 10 rounders...cant find any.....anywhere....
-
I've added a Magpul MOE+ grip and adjustable stock along with optics and a front grip.

Thats evil. I almost hear it talking to me.. As findstien would say, its like 2 evil rifles in one.
-
Nice! They are so @@@@ fun to shoot. Google Slide Fire for your next 'upgrade' for ear to ear fun! I bought 1 for myself and a few for down the road when you cant get them anymore for whatever reason.
I've had a blast with our ARs over the last year. Just bought a CMMG Bravo .22 conversion kit with 2 25-rnd mags tonight to offset the cost of the .223 and 5.56 lately. Had thought about S&W M&P15-22 for months and the last few weeks I'm sure I looked at it twice a day. At 600 bills+ right now I simply couldn't do it. About 35 minutes later a buddy called and asked if I was interested in a CMMG Bravo plus the 2 mags.. for 125 bucks! A friend of his loaded up 1 mag to test it last year and hasn't had the time since. He gave the cash to his friend and I'll be picking it up later next week.
So.. 600.00 or 125.00.. I'm a happy camper and glad I decided to not buy the S&W tonight. My bigger issue is I keep looking at the Daniel Defense M4 Carbine, v5 (https://danieldefense.com/rifles/mid-length/daniel-defense-m4-carbine-v5-no-sights.html) mid-length and think I'm gonna have to call them Monday morning. : )
Wife's gonna have a conniption I believe... maybe I'll let her shoot it first ; )
-
Just got my DD....good luck if you try though....

All current owners will be grandfathered in, and the same goes with the magazine ban. If you own 30 rd mags prior to the law passing then you can legally continue to use them. They are making the manufacturer put serial numbers, and manufacturer dates on new mags produced after the law passes, if it passes.
