I can lock my mags away and keep doing what im doing currently to support my rights.

But if there's a SHTF scenario. i'm sure my neighbors will be glad i had 20 hi cap mags for each of my guns. Regardless of law.

That's not actually true. The Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd Amendment CAN be restricted. A magazine capacity limit, if passed by Congress, would be 100% lawful, and you would be 100% breaking the law.

Here's hoping his mental state is not questionable...

I know this has been talked about like a billions of times but here goes.

So we know there are piston and DI ar15 rifles. They both have a metal rod that pushes the bolt back right?

One of the differences is that most of the gases escapes at the front or the barrel area on a piston rifle and most of the gases goes in the lower rec area on a DI ar.

So why does these companies has to make a proprietary bolt? Couldn't they use the same bolt design? I don't know what that part is called that's on top of the bolt where the rod pushes the bolt back. Please school me on this.

You are mistaken...The DI has a gas tube that couples with a gas key which directs the gas into the rest of the bolt carrier group. The gas piston system utilizes the push rod which will mechanically move the BCG back into the buffer. The BCGs necessarily have to be different.

Hope that helps!

If you do all of those things, you'll have a great firearm. If you build it that way and decide to sell it (in a normal marketplace), you would end up getting more money by parting it out.

Frankenguns just don't have the resale value no matter what parts go into them.

A conventional Stoner-design AR is a true expanding gas piston gun too and not direct impingement. It's just that the piston is the bolt carrier group and there is no actuating rod. Direct impingement is something else.

Stopped by a local gun shop today... depressing sight to say the least.

Yeah but again, my point was the QUALITY of firearm would be in that price range of guns $2200? Thats whatyou're not getting. I didn't make that statement in terms of actually selling the gun. I meant performance value.

Just built my first AR-15 lower last night. its about 75% done. (rguns lower, bushmaster guts) will probably upgrade to a geissele trigger later

Got the lower receiver and clip right before prices went thru the roof on em. now i just need a buffer tube/spring/ to complete the lower.

not sure about which upper to go with right now. free float something or other. torn between .223 and .300 blackout right now tho

Amazon.com, you can find a leapers UTG buffer assembly. UTG buffers are pretty good quality and low priced. You can get that now to make your rifle functional. THen get something HQ later. For the price. You can't go wrong with the UTG buffer assembly.

I realized i was mistaken about the DI ar.
Thanks.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that.
