Misc Firearms Crew XL: The XL is not a Roman numeral, know what we're sayin?

lmao

It's pretty true, bruh. I've heard MANY more positive reviews than negative. I know they had some qc issues and such, but they seem to have their act together.

To clarify my above responses to the situation, I'm not a PSA apologist (I don't even own any of their uppers - I have a BCM). I'm just saying that PSA is likely to be good to go for a build.

Open a savings account. Put money into the savings account. When you have $720 buy this http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-2...d-20-kmr15.htm

You'll never feel bad about your purchase, and you won't have to buy tools to put your upper together or pay a gunsmith, plus you'll know that it's put together right.

That's the dream right there, I think making a purchase that big on half a gun at once might end my marriage. Lol.

I do have the tools though and built the one I have now.

I wouldn't corn hole all religious people like that - I'm pretty religious (but not a zealot) but I'm all for stem cell research

there are extremes of every group - unfortunately it's the extremists that make the most noise

edit - also had to look up what ftfy meant - haha

Do you think that the intersection of "doesn't believe in stem cell research", "believes the Earth was created in 7 days", and "is anti-science" is not incredibly high?

$ and importance-of-parts wise, a complete upper (w/BCG) is more than half the rifle. Just sayin'





(not counting optics, light, and upgrades to things like the FCG, rail, stock, etc, down the road...)

Spoiler!

...down the road meaning a month or two after building the rifle

I just like buying things a little at a time. I just asked about the psa receivers because they have blems for cheap. I didn't think I could go wrong on a receiver and then put quality parts inside it.

The idea of salting away a little money into a savings account at a time is the same as buying a little at a time. Also, you'll wind up saving on shipping costs.

I think that PSA makes a pretty good rifle for the cost. I also think that they have good customer service once you actually manage to get a hold of someone. Their shipping is better, but still hit or miss. I think that the main issue that PSA is facing is that right now, building a complete PSA rifle with an MBUS Pro rear, blemmed PSA carbine-length upper, and blemmed PSA MOE lower is $630 and building that same rifle with a BCM non-blem midlength upper (with an MOE handguard instead of standard handguard) is $775.

As long as BCM is running the "free BCG" deal, there's not much point putting together a PSA rifle unless you're looking at a .308

Nothing wrong with an inexpensive blem stripped lower receiver.

Yup.

Those ~$880 Colts don't help matters either, though the BCM is a better deal at the moment IMO, since it's less $ and you can get a mid length or do an immediate upgrade by getting one with a nice rail

Don't think he'll be upgrading from his KMR rail...

[Lakersbake]

In my view PSA is okay for range only practice/plinking rifle, but Id rather have something of higher quality for HD purpose. BCM has such good deals that I wont by PSA again anyways.

[OrificeSpunk]

Took some co workers to the range today. Pretty good day minus the cold and wind. I got a chance to shoot a Ruger sr9. I was shocked at how nice the trigger was. I have to admit it was better than my glock except for the reset. Short travel, no mush, and a nice clean break. Definitely one of the better factory triggers I have pulled


Anyone else shooting this weekend?

[jaygee15]

Thanks for the input guys,I'm on my phone so can't multi quote. I didn't notice that nikon was the rimfire model. I will check out the scopes you guys also suggested. I'm on a budget and don't want to pay more for a scope than i did the rifle,i gotta a good deal on the rifle brand new. I will be using it to hunt deer,elk etc her in Arizona in the desert, brush,and forest.

Very true. Now convince my wife. She won't notice all the pieces over 2-4 months. She'll notice a $750 transaction.

Need a little more rain for the natl forest to open back up. Dont wanna pay $20 to shoot paper.

It seems like Jarryd was intending the actual rifle in question to be a hunting rig. For those purposes, I would also give PSA a green light.

[Bumpus]

Anyone here aware me on vehicle dvd players? Preferably ones that go over a headrest.


Or if you have experience with any brands with in-dash or overhead models. Most of the manufacturers I see that make them I am not familiar with.

[MoeBettuh]

Tell her how you're going to do it, if she's smart, she won't require any coaxing.

You: I want to put together another upper and I was thinking about piecing it together like $50 or so at a time.
Wife: That sounds reasonable, it'll be easier to absorb small amounts at time than to lay out a bunch of cash at once.
Y: Hey, now that I think about it, I think I can actually do one better. I'll actually save money by not having to pay a whole bunch of different shipping charges for multiple transactions if I just put the $50 or so at a time into a savings account/coffee can/whatever and make the purchase all at once several months from now.
W: You're right, paying for shipping once a month for small parts will add up. Thank you for being thrifty and thinking about our budget. Would you like some pussy?
Y: Yes.

Take your balls back out of her purse, then tell her you are going to be buying a gun.

Soooo . . . eventually she sees the rofl though, right? And wonders "hmmmm . . . where did that come from?" Seems a path to resentment. Maybe just sit down and map it all out with the costs/savings and pros/cons of purchasing in one shot vs piecemeal and make an argument for what works best?

Just my 2 cents. Obviously you know your relationship best, so take that for what it's worth. But doing it in a way that "she won't notice" seems like the road to some heartburn later, unless you plan on hiding the gun from her. If the cash outlay is the core problem then it'll be a worse problem if you try to keep it a secret and she catches it later.

Yeah and the only part that would be from psa would be the receiver.

Anyone in L.A. familiar with the process of getting a handgun? Every shop I look at looks like a ghost town. Not sure who to talk to?
