  1. You know I stil l get videos like "entering Detroit" from you years ago in my yt feed. You're in great shape, you can really tell from them to now. It's always great to see the results of your labors.

  2. Wait until you can afford will be forever lol just like the old song about a car…. One piece at a time. Get what you can until you can't. Tbh that's the only way I ever get anything.

  3. If u looking for a AK rifler. Get a import AK it will increase in value over time. PSA make America made AKMand AR with a good warranty. I have some experience on post ban Bushmaster AR-15 and imported AKM. The AR-15 is the way to go. Do to the ban import of 7.62×39 ammo. PSA do make a 556 AKM that takes AR15 magazine.

  4. I run stag,m&p,bushmaster ar15'$ and haven't had any problems. I bought all them new in 12 & 13.recently I had a 50 beowulf built and a few 4.5" ar15 pistols custom built.i haven't run high dollar red dots unless you consider Romeo green dot 7s as one.the other one is a older bsa red dot.but really don't see spending crazy cash on expensive dots or scope set ups.im no operator I just want what works at a decent price and can see what I need to up to 500 yards on my scopes and that's probably more then I need if I ever needed to reach out .other then that it's a stock weapon and parts. I'm no competition shooter where I need to spend crazy money on something that's just for hunting or defense .I know people who brag about all the expensive doodads they have on there ar15s..and I tell them I'll just get it off them when shtf hits and they get sniped out or what ever lol

  5. Radical firearms and Anderson AR rifleare two more budget friendly as well check your local pawn shops and look for deals take pictures if they let you then research the brand always make sure lower and upper is metal,milled etc polymer is good bt nothing beats metal on metal

  6. Reg, I dont talk firearms but I will share my safe with you because your DEMCAD lol. I'm also an AK guy.
    1-Saiga Rifle .308 (2 deer) 30rd mags.
    1-Saiga Shotgun 12gauge 3 1/4 Magnum Chrome lined, 8+rd mags (many grouse and pheasant)
    Both Saigas made by Iszmash.
    1-Mauser K98 made in 1934 (got my trophy buck with this)
    1-Ruger Mini 14 in .223, just fun.
    1-Ruger 10/22 staying on the fun theme.
    1 SW .40C 10rd mags, perfect for CnC, local sheriff uses .40 hense my choice.
    No interest in getting any more firearms.

  7. Ive had many AR15s. For budget SW MP15 is probably the best quality entry level rifle. PSA has quality components on a budget, but they cant assemble rifles for shit, crooked sight posts, and loose screws. Mid range, BCM, Colt, Windham, are pretty much the same in price, and quality. Top of the line would be Daniel Defense, LMT, Knights Armament, LaRue. Theres many other good builders as well. Many companies do get their parts from the same few manufacturers, but often more expensive guns get the better batches of these parts, and use more quality control measures. Ultimately, Chrome lined barrels, phosphate BCG, dont buy these fancy coating toys. Avoid Aero precision, terrible quality control. Personally have gotten many bad parts from Aero.

  8. I'm a big AK47 fan as well but I finally bought an AR (Rock River Arms) and it's a nail driver, so accurate and easy to shoot. For now my go to rifle for mid-long distance soft targets.

  9. The Ruger mpr 18 is phenomenal. Comes free floated, 18 inch barrel, magpul moe stock, 2 stage trigger, as well as a 1/8 twist. All for $750 on grabagun right now they got a $25 off coupon as well. Stack that with a lifetime warranty done deal for me.

  10. My recommendation is to have 1 fully set up rifle that you actually practice with before buying a second, that includes extra magazines, a light, an optic, a sling and ammo. Having a horde of cheap ARs is not worth it, they don't retain their value compared to mid tier or higher price point ARs.

  11. I have a Ruger AR-15 no Optics I don't intend to get Optics and I love my weapon and I'm accurate with my weapon without Optics Drop that weapon the Optics are all jacked up can you still shoot your gun?

  12. Can't go wrong with a M&P by S&W. Reliable and a good price. BCM also makes a good rifle for the money. Little bit more money, but not top of the line. And if you want to go nuts and pay 2k for a rifle. I really like Wilson combat, and Primary Weapons System (PWS). PWS has a very nice short stroke system. Like you see on the HK AR's. Which gives the reliability of an AK, on a AR platform.

  13. What many people dont know, is that other companies make all the parts. The brand company orders the parts and assembled the rifles. Over all, its better to have something, and zero it, and learn it, than having nothing at all. S&W, Ruger, Anderson, PSA they are all good choices. The AK is a dead platform to me. Even former CCCP are ditching the platform, and building modern rifles based on the AR15/AR180 platforms. Mostly gas piston system.
