AR'S...Let's talk about it

[Ldog]

Curious…who owns an AR-15?

What manufacture?

How much do you train?

 

[Ldog]

I’ll start

Wilson Combat Protector Elite

Train once per week.

I’ve got a Smith and Wesson M&P15 that’s fully decked out. Only thing stock is the lower. A 300 Blackout pistol with 7.5" barrel. Built it from Palmetto State Armory. It’s also suppressed with subsonic rounds. My 300 is my baby. I train about once a month going through different drills.

30 year old Bushmaster car15

Don’t practice nearly enough

Can’t see crap anymore anyways that’s why I keep a pistol grip 20 ga by the nightstand…should be able to hit something with that.

 

[Cluster]

Highpoint 9mm carbine
Dont practice nearly as much as id like

 

[JB_rD81]

I’d like to buy either a Ruger or SIG 5.56 16” barrel, but for now my ghosts will suffice. Mostly Anderson parts with some PSA pieces here and there

 

[swoldier]

I own quite a few. My go to is a DanielDefense MK 18. I try to train once or twice a week. Luckily I live on a ranch so I have the luxury to train in my back yard.

 

[Mossy1985]

That’s a pricey piece right there. Never seen Daniel Defense for less than a couple thousand

 

[JB_rD81]

Lately I’ve been looking hard for AR style shotguns… not sure why, just like them

 

[Ldog]

Get yourself a good optic green dot Poppy…makes a huge difference.

 

[Ldog]

Its worth it…I think mine was 2k…worth every penny.

 

[swoldier]

Def expensive but worth it!

 

[Poppy]

It’s soul crushing to look back at gun and ammo prices over the decades.

I’ve got some old ammo with the price tags still on the box and it’s disheartening.

Way back when any weapon over a grand was something extremely special and rare.

I’ve got an h&k 9 that I paid $499 for in the 80’s that’s worth a couple grand now.

 

[Mossy1985]

I have one of the original Glock 17’s. I’ve got about $400 in. Traded a chainsaw for it. They’re considering them collectibles now.

 

[Poppy]

considering them collectibles

I’m kinda ignorant to collectibles… like my hk… i just consider it a tool. Guess there’s money in those things

 

[Mossy1985]

To certain people they’re gold. A cop I know who raises and trains dogs offered me two fully trained Belgian Malinois for that Glock but I love to shoot it too much.

That is a good deal @swoldier but training doesnt just mean putting rounds down range…clearing rooms,clearing jams,close quarters combat, applying tourniquets,providing other first aid,who do you live with are they trained in anything? This goes for anyone,training aint just shooting…I’m done,thanks for listening.

 

[swoldier]

Who said I only put rounds down range? Shoot houses are easy to make using old tires ! And yes medical training and equipment is just as important as firearms. Everyone in my house is trained for different scenarios. Each one has a go bag and we regularly do drills. Key word in my post was “train” not shoot.

 

[John]

I believe you referring to shooting with the words ranch and back yard,and not all the things I mentioned.you can say otherwise.

 

[Ominous]

I Own a few as some know.
And for my job we train monthly and also active shooter drills three times a year and medical training.

LWRC gas piston and Sig. Are what I shoot most.

But also own bushmaster and knights armament
Along with Daniel Defense. And some that I have built with mismatch parts.
