    My wingspan is so large that making sure I was grabbing the handguard and not the barrel was a constant chore, it's part of the reason that I don't shoot it, even my 11.5" (or maybe it's 12.5") defensive rifle is a struggle to not grab the FSB.

    Primary Arms some times has Aero pistol/SBR length uppers come back in stock at like $340-360. But they don't last long.

    edit: 14.5" at least

    Purchased my first glock. Is this a good one?

    I have a handful of Springfields and my EDC has been a Sig P365. So far it’s the shooting 9mm I’ve owned yet. It feels great in my hand being a glock 17 grip and the glock 19 slide seems like it might not rest on my nuts so much when I carry.

    I wonder what the wholesale price is. Obviously there’s gouging going on. Why has the government stepped in to control prices like they do other commodities during an emergency?

    It’s not price gouging. There are specific things that are protected by price gouging and guns and ammo are not on that list.

    wholesale prices have not risen greatly but they have slightly increased

    Any time you sell a product for five times the normal price due to current events that’s the definition of gouging.

    I was so excited to receive this email this morning, I saw it about 3 hours after I received it and they were already out of stock again :(

    A little more work on the C308. Added a Spuhr stock to get a cheekweld instead of a chin weld, a paddle mag release, and a Bill Springfield tuned match trigger in an SEF trigger housing with Magpul ambi selector. B4E997C3-4172-4986-A34D-24A7C93AB1F1.jpg

    I do not have personal experience, but I got to shoot with some Rangers who got to try them a while back, and the subject came up. They were very unimpressed. The 17 has a well earned reputation for killing optics. Both rifles suppressed poorly, had weird ergos, and had been generally surpassed by other AR18 derivatives. Not subpar, but not better enough to warrant a switch in their eyes from M4's and MK18's.

    Hold it and if possible mount an optic before you buy to try the reciprocating charging handle, and look into mag compatibility woes.

    I didn’t know Remington made air rifles until a friend of ours gave this one to our son a few years ago.
