I have 60-100 higher end mags. Honestly, it's hard to narrow it down at any given moment. A few weeks ago I probably had 150, and the extras were sold for well under $20 per.

Look, PMags are...

Products YOU believe in

We all get a constant barrage of recommendation requests on this board and probably elsewhere as well. What company should I turn to for this or that? It really all boils down to budget, personal...

I probably don't have defined numbers. I guess it would be 500rds of misc ammo, with misc mags. You have to get to know a rifle, and even the mags and ammo for that matter.

I trust what I know. I...

My tips, based on my tastes. If you've got a big budget and intend to suppress it, start looking at a Noveske 10.5".

If you want a really great, non-SBR 300blk, fork over the $1400 or so for a...

The price would probably be $65 delivered. Might even be able to find the original packaging, etc (not sure). No rush, it's not going anywhere anytime soon and it's unlikely to see much work in the...

This is an $800 gun. It's essentially a DPMS Sportical or (perhaps more accurately) a S&W MP15 Sport with a Colt stamp on it. I say S&W is more accurate because of the twist rate.

It's not a bad...

I have a tritium Troy front sight on one of my ARs. Troy makes good stuff and it's a good sight. It set me back a little north of $100. I would consider myself to be a fan of most of Troy's AR...

Should be good to go. My guess is it's exactly the same bolt JoeBob's had for $154 the other day. All the specs look solid.

Vortex is really tough to beat for under $200...and sometimes you can find them for under $150. I've got Vortex Strikefires on two rifles and am very happy. I probably have about $260 into the pair....

Wally World is tough, because they're currently the #1 resource for the GunBroker hustlers in many parts.

Now it claims a "9310-Case hardened, Shot Peened, and MPI tested" bolt.

Maybe the C158 sold out. I'm sure that's what it stated when I posted.

Went by a local farmer's co-op type store this morning. They probably had about 100 of the Federal American Eagle 100rd AR223 tacticool black boxes in stock for $49.99. 55gr FMJ, limit of three. I...

Skill, talent, equipment. In my opinion these are the three most critical factors in your AR performing beyond 50yds...and probably in that order.

Skill is what you earn, through disciplined...

Vortex Strikefire = awesome 1-2X optic for the price.

Nobody is competing with it for under $300 in my opinion. Just something to think about for those of you looking for a great $120-200 optic....

For $1200 this is a decent buy. For under $1400, it's worth considering if you really want a Colt.

This is a good $1100 rifle with $100 worth or furniture upgrade (assuming stock, hguard, grip,...

Folks buy 1:7 mostly because it's "milspec". And they buy 1:9 mostly because it's what came on their affordable AR, and they gave no thought to twist.

In truth, both 1:7 and 1:9 are generally fine...

Do yourself a favor and just list it on GunBroker. You'll recover your funds faster and probably make a couple bucks in the process. That's what I did. Mine sold for $180 I think.

For magnified AR optics, I'm a big fan of Leupold, Nikon, Vortex, and Burris. I also don't like taking an AR15 setup above 40mm, and prefer to limit it to 32mm if possible. It's really all about your...

Honestly I'm not sure what a '95% lower' is. I'm a relatively well informed AR enthusiast, but by no means an expert.

Is it a completed lower, minus the stock? BTW...that would be a crazy...

Did a little googling...

Pros: lightweight, $45 or so

Cons: carbine length only (lame), but the midlengths are sure to come if their product has any staying power
