Show us your get home rifle

Last year, when Springfield Armory release the Saint Edge, I thought to myself how that would make a great "Get Home" rifle for the lockbox under the back seat of my TACO .... then I looked at the price. So I did my usual christmas and birthday wishlists and came up with most of the parts to put my own "Edge" together. This is my "Get Home" package.

-The barrel is a faxon 10.5 pencil barrel to reduce weight (Edge is a 7.5) and retain enough velocity to keep the 556 round viable
-Aero Precision NIB BCG and Bravo Company Charging Handle
-The trigger pack is a Wilson single stage 4lbs
-The receiver is an Aero Precision M4E1 upper and lower
-Aero Precision Atlas S one 12" hand guard
-Tijicon MRO optic on an American Defense quick release mount
-Bravo Company grip

 

Nice pistol. I don't keep a gun in my truck anymore.

 

Aside from whatever Glock I have on my hip, my LMT pistol will always be not too far.

LMT Mars-L lower/LMT LM8 MRP pistol variant.

 

I guess I’ll preemptively buck the trend with a Basic ass AK

 

not falling for this trap. 12 up in the thread.

 

I don't consider that bucking the trend. I own two, and if that fits your needs, by all means go for it. Having carried a number of different rifles, ounces equal pounds over distance. My impetus was make it functional, light weight, without sacrificing reliability.

 

I meant that Everyone’s gonna have ARs . Then you gave some common ar over AK rhetoric lol .

Jk

 

Curious...what is a “get home” rifle and when is it used? That’s some serious looking hardware.

 

My Daniel defense “pistol”

 

What’s it like to shoot without hearing protection?

 

Haven’t shot it yet without ear pro

 

Between my Scorpion or 300blk AR.

 

300. That’s what mines in

 

Sexy for sure

 

One of the best calibers IMO. SuperSonics to reach out and touch something, subs with a can when you go full Oper8er

 

I’m waiting till after my next move to get a can

 

Definitely not something you want to do unless you absolutely have to. 5.56 has a bad enough crack out of a 16" barrel, it gets downright painful the shorter you get. I double up on the hearing protection and wear plugs and muffs when shooting SBRs/pistols.

 

Blast diverters or linear muzzle breaks help a lot, but the 556 round is loud and even with a decent can, it is not hearing safe.

 

I keep this in my “get home bag”. A DDM4 PDW 300blk. I used to carry a Sig Rattler but switched to the DD a few months ago.

 

That is a sweet machine
