    Ours is pretty easy here. Constitutional carry, basically Don’t be on probation. There is a CCL available though if you want it to be honored with other states, think that one might be a class though.

    Gonna be building a 300 BLK "pistol" as my next AR, my optimus should be approved in december and i can run it on a 8" barrel with a 3 lug mount, the length would be shorter than a 16" barrel by a decent amount, 8" barrel + 6.6" suppressor= just under 15".

    Are there barrels at 7-7.5" for 300 BLK? I kind of want an even more compact length.

    Ok guys I already have a few ar's but a guy I know is selling a DPMS Oracle that's basically new for $400. The only reason I would buy is to eventually resale. Is this a good deal or no?

    Hey Y'all,

    Been tinkering and learning the platform for a little over a year. Here's what I have so far, bottom is a S&W M&PII .223(my first) and top is a Noveske lower and DB upper in .300 B/O. Working on another .300 B/O (Suppressed SBR) (also waiting for my Form 4). They are all used to exterminate "Porky" and "Wiley" on my friend's 20k acre ranch.

    Good looking rifles! Not to be a Debbie Downer, but your back up sights are mounted backwards

    I now have 2 AR's after purchasing another one a couple days ago. The first one is one that I bought piece by piece over the past 3.5 years and just finished it this summer. Put a magazine through it and back in the safe haha. Just plain jane Mil spec PSA AR-15 .223/5.56. Blackhawk adjustable stock, Blackhawk grip. I have other accessories for it (flashlight/bipod/laser/etc) but I have yet to change the handguard out to accommodate those.

    This is my other AR...Just purchased it from a friends brother. Another PSA AR-15 .223/5.56 1/7 twist rifle with some nice furniture! I was excited to get this one and it was a steal of a deal $$.

    Every time I almost pull the trigger (no pun intended) on a .308, I consider the thousands of rounds of 7.62x54R and thousands of rounds of 7.62x39 I have. I weeded out my "fun guns" a while back. I've been spending my gun money on ammo and training (and a few farkles here and there). I need more 5.56, and, as was evident this past weekend on the Florida Tacomas Camp 'N Ride at Citrus, I need better tires. Adding another boomstick to the quiver won't help either of those causes.

    AND, in all honesty, if i was to get a .308, it would probably be the Century C308. I've been lusting after that pattern rifle since the first time I saw an H&K G3 ad on the back cover of a Soldier of Fortune magazine when I was in middle school...
