Essential The Official Coli Gun Owners Thread

@OSUBaneBrowns the only undesirable thing about this is that it's 1:9 twist, but goddamn is it a deal

do they only index primary arms? gun.deals and wikiarms seem strictly better then...

Idk I haven't used that one. There's one I have bookmarked. And for some reason my bookmarks aren't loading on my phone, I'll eventually find it. But it's the same deal, it lists all the components and you can choose one from a multitude of suppliers and it gives you a running total on your build and you can chip away and buy them one by one or whatever.

It's a different site, I just typed in ar builder and found that one.

My first HK. Already own a Glock 22.

Just finished building my lower for my AR15. It wasn't hard at all but it something that I can't see myself doing a lot. Almost lost the detents and springs a few times trying to install them. I'm seriously debating on buying a full upper or just buying the barrel and BCG separately depending on what would be the better option.

Don't be a quitter. Also, do you really have all the proper tools for gunsmithing. A well built firearm can be a lifelong possession. Consider investing in a gunsmith's vice. And there are a lot of other tools that makes things like installing detents, etc. much simpler.

To be honest, it was nice to learn about building a AR but it not something that I can see myself doing for fun long term. I have some tools that I brought (vice, AR block, pin set) that helped the process but I was just relieve that I was able to get the lower built on my own. When I looks at upper parts, I could easily see myself spending more $$$ than I want to than just buying a complete one outright. This is just going to be a range/backup HD gun. God forbid if something would happen and if I had to have it confiscated, I would be more pissed losing a expensive weapon than something that was more cheap and I can easily replaced w/o hesitation. I have no issues with buying a better quality BCG or barrel but I don't really care about the rest of the upper.

I hope everyone is stocking up. Something is going to go down.

Welcome to the other side.

No one tells you about this part. You only discover it when your in too deep.

Thinking about buying a Glock 19 for a 2nd line of home defense and to shoot cheap 9mm ammo. I really want the Prodigy but it's not on CA roster. I finally shot a 1911 style gun in 45 acp last weekend and I was surprise how smooth it was (SA TRP Operator). Buy the Glock for now and save for the Operator or something similar for later on

over 1000 rounds, no malfunctions

Is that a custom build AR?

Wound up buying a Glock 17C instead of the 19. I just like the ergonomic better on the 17 and I have no desire to CCW. Still going to save up for a metal frame 1911 down the line.

This has been said every year for 100 years....congratulations

Just a Daniel Defense upper on a BCM lower with a Geissele trigger

 

[Wildin]

I have no desire to CCW.

Why not?

Home defense you are the most secure. It's outside of your home where you really don't want to have to run, hide and pray the police respond quickly or that your opponent has mercy.

I don't feel that I need to carry one at this point in my life. I just usually go to work, gym and home for the most part. Plus I live in LA County and there is a two year wait to get one along with the fees and all of the other stuff that you have to do. If someone really wants to get me on the streets, it was just meant to be.
