  1. why america is considered the land of freedom when there are so many laws, there are places in europe where you can shoot your guns, have bank secrets and won’t get life sentenced if your gf is 15 and you’re 18. It’s switzerland, ah and drugs are kind of okeish if you aren’t the biggest drug trader so i guess america is far from being from freedom. I don’t know why i get to this but in austria it’s currently in the news that an 18 yr old flew over to visit his gf which was underaged and he was instantly arrested because they had sex. Now all the people here try to help that poor guy, he‘s not much older and on the other hand i love your gun laws but being so strict i only can see the freedom when your a gun loving capitalist, which i guess for the gun part im jealous off but for the rest you feel more freedom where you can do what you want naturally which isn’t a moral crime i mean drugs and sex should stay on everybodies own opinion as long as it’s not rape which in this case it wasn’t. And i often hear about insanely stupid laws. Can someone explain? Is it just counting for guns as all the other things you better be somewhere else (exept islamic countries i guess) with a little more freedom and not constantly monitored. Maybe it’s just the case but teenagers are young why is this such a big deal, it’s sad to hear such things. Drugs should stay forbidden but if so i still can’t call myself land of freedom like i always think of switzerland, chzech repuplic, or the netherlands where people are way more releaxed also when it comes to human rights. I always wanted to visit the US but i guess it’s a fearful country too. Freedom of Speech also is not an exklusive, i don’t hate the US pls don’t get me wrong i even think texas has the best gun laws but if you don’t live the pew pew lifestyle i oversee something as you can get sued so easy and it’s so stupid for calling it a freedom thing then. You have the freedom to remain silent, wow never would know i could do that ha. Thanks, greetings !

  6. The Spikes Tactical sounds like a Swiss watch. You can tell it’s been building to minimal tolerances when you charge it. The sound it beautiful. The build quality looks impeccable like the barrel and the bolt carrier. Even when you semi stripped it it all just clicks in like butter. I could just listen to this AR for hours. I just wish I lived in the US and not the UK 🇬🇧 🤬

  7. When you buy a 1500+ Ar15, you are getting a hammer forged barrel. Perhaps even nitrite coating. And a stronger (higher tensile strength) bolt carrier group, with again better coating. Maybe even a better trigger.
    This all implies you should get better accuracy and longer life span. Point being. You get what you pay for. Anyone telling you other wise, is lying.

  9. The Easy way to test if You have A good Rifle… Shoot A 1000 rounds in one day without cleaning it, and if it doesn't jam, You're good to go… If it does jam, look for upgrades and or replacements of components and stay away from cheap ammo…

  12. i am considering a ruger pc9, because the calibre matches my side arm, and reduced limited logistics is always best in a SHTF scenario. and the heavy wooded country that i live in limits those shots to less than 75 yards if you stay off roads and trails. just saying.

  13. Is it just me but up to 2,000$ is not medium range that's lower end f1 fire arms and Daniel defenses level which are big names with amazing quality and are considered high end

  17. I have a 500 dollar bushmaster carbine I got around 02 or 03. I shot probably 3-4 thousand times in 3 gun still hold 1.5 – 2 moa never failed me. I now run a armalite m4 type with velocity 3lb trigger short MD comp got about 700 in it a super 3 gun, gun. also a sw15 5.56 600 into and a stag 18 inch setup for long range rise armorment 3.5 2s trigger. you don't need the spend a ton of bucks.

  18. Not too much some off info here. You don't have to spend $200 or more to free float an AR. You don't need an armorer to change the barrel or barrel nuts. And low to high is 500-600, mid 750-900, high 1200 to 1800 super duper non nessesary is $2k or more. Not ily that but you can build better for way less. Spikes is in no way high tier. You don't have to go to a shop and buy an off the rack rifle. Build it with the right parts so you KNOW what's in it. Not just trust employee# whoever that your gun is the best and always tested. Even Daniel Defense doesn't test each barrel they test every 20th one.

  19. If you shoot 3 days a week, A) you have a lot of time to kill B) you have a lot of money to spend on ammo C) you would probably be rocking a knights armament or noveske if you have a lot of money to buy that much ammo in the first place

  20. mil spec tends to have greater tolerance levels..high end has great capability but low endurance…
    the main things you want are quality bolt and barrel…the rest is for the most part just fashionable..

  24. ruger manufacturers every part in house..so they can sell their guns for less you can't beat the ruger quality when it comes to price especially when it comes to bolts and barrels…gunshop owner won't tell you this..I doubt some even bother to educate themselves on this

  25. Im in need of help protecting my family . last week there was a home invasion in the apartment access from our apartment. it has me freaking out because I dont have a way to protect and keep my family safe . so if anyone has used AR or popular hand gun parts they could donate would help so much .

  27. Just build a ar I built a “high performance” ar for 1400$ and it’s chambers in .223 wylde has a geissele trigger,fsc mod 2 comp, holosun 510c,mission first tactical battlelink minimalist stock,strike industries charging handle and its built off of a spikes tactical lower however I do not have a fancy bolt but the point is just watch for sales do a lot of research and be patient and you can build a great rifle for a fraction of the cost for something you’d buy at a gun store. (Disclaimer patience is the most important part waiting for sales) but even if you wanted to build a good quality sport model you can easily do it for 550-600$ and the price of what you would pay for a similar rifle complete just doesn’t compare

  33. you can build a decent .223 wylde ar15 for 350 to 400 bucks on classic firearms mine has a E3 arms gen 2 enhanced polymer lower trigger out of the box was 4 to 4.1 lbs trigger weight was great even ran it over and to test it and didnt break

    https://www.classicfirearms.com/bearcreekarsenalupperar15assbly and this .223 wylde upper theres a different one for 7.62×39 same price same style

  36. Anderson Manufacturing is a sub $500 rifle and is actually that cheap because they produce all their own parts. They are the best I've found and they also make a lot of rifles and parts for the other well known companies. So you pay bottom barrel prices for a higher quality gun. Don't be fooled by other companies selling Anderson with their name at a higher price.
