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.

Apparently John Noveske died in a car accident on the 4th.

Here's a video message posted today from Sheri at Noveske about their participation at SHOT 2013. If you've ever dealt with Noveske Rifleworks, you've dealt with Sheri. She rocks, in the extreme.

Indeed. Lots of movement in Washington that can directly impact our firearms ownership that we need to be aware of.

I have 2 built lowers and no upper. Regret selling my old stag 5.56 model 2T.

Sold it last year to buy some handguns. ..never thought this day would come. Double price uppers, some are 2.5x the price. Over $2,400 for an $1,200 colt. Damn.

Saw a DPMS panther lite for $1600 today... lol would you believe that?

Given the current environment I think if you can get a top tier AR for around 2500 you're doing OK. I don't see prices coming down quickly if an AWB is shot down. All of the near term supply is gone and I don't think that many will end up on consignment shelves.

You know how many idiots are racking their credit cards buying guns they don't need by the dozen just to horde and gouge in the future??? People will have to sell half of what they're buying just to pay bills... lol
Just mentioning without a political agenda to my comment. Now that i see the general reaction to the proposals, I'm not worried about a ban per say. The thing to buy is mags and AR stocks. They might try to make us use fixed stocks??? .

Doubtful. Acquiring mazagzines might make more sense, but only if greater-than-10-rounders are grandfathered, which is not the way Diane Feinstein is leaning. One could spend a lot of money in the current marketplace to acquire a lot of high-capacity magazines only to find that they are all illegal...which is what happened in New York last week.

This point to me is pointless and means nothing to me in terms of the fact that, the high cap mags may become illegal and NOT grandfathered. But our second amendment can't be changed so I'm not breaking the law. The law-makers are. That said. This comment means nothing imho. 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...

If we see a 10 round limit on magazine capacity take effect in the future, would any of you 9mm guys think about moving up to .40 or .45?

I realize limiting a G17 or G19 to only 10 rounds really makes no sense. Why carry 10 rounds of 9mm when you could carry 10 of something bigger?

I would move completely to single stack .45.

It would actually be a good excuse to get a few more 1911s

I'm already carrying a 10rd +1 40 most days I can get away with it...

it's not being able to order Mags for my Glock 34 that is a little upsetting
