Well the gun show is in 2 weeks here so I'm saving up my next two paychecks then going to see if I can get a good price on a Mil spec

I'm hoping I can get one in the $400-$500.

Have you ever shot one? I friend of mine has one. Word to the wise -- the trigger sucks. It feels spongy instead of crisp.

StealthZ · 01-21-2010, 11:27 AM

the sigs aren't that great. had one, shot it alot, like it was said trigger sucks. if you want an rifle that usses AR magazines, and shoots 556mm. (.223) buy a quality spec'd AR (Bravo Company USA, COLT, LMT, and the piston driven LWRCI) SIG makes gerat handguns, and in my opinion don't need to or should make those kind of rifles. If you are able to compare them side by side the the Mil-Spec AR or similiar piston driven LWRCI rifles, the Sig is over shadowed in many ways, not just the trigger.

Supreme Court Hands Down Key Campaign Finance Decision--
Repeals Unconstitutional Restrictions on Political Speech

Friday, January 22, 2010

NRA praised the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision yesterday in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission that removed unconstitutional restrictions on NRA’s ability to speak freely at election time.

The late Sen. Paul Wellstone had said during the original debate over this legislation that it was his intention to silence groups like NRA. While the author of this measure had singled out NRA, this law delivered a clear message to all American citizens: “Keep your mouths shut and stay out of our political debates.”

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, said, “This ruling is a victory for anyone who believes that the First Amendment applies to each and every one of us. The majesty of free speech is that any American can roll out of bed and speak as freely as The New York Times, NBC or politicians. This is a defeat for arrogant elitists who wanted to carve out free speech as a privilege for themselves and deny it to the rest of us; and for those who believed that speech had a dollar value and should be treated and regulated like currency, and not a freedom. Today’s decision reaffirms that the Bill of Rights was written for every American and it will amplify the voice of average citizens who want their voices heard.”

The case originally centered on the Federal Election Commission’s (FEC) denial of Citizens United’s attempt to broadcast a film about Hillary Clinton through on-demand cable services in January 2008, but had broader implications in protecting the First Amendment rights of organizations like NRA during elections.

NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox, said, “This decision today returns sanity to our political system. The First Amendment does not allow Congress to make laws denying Americans the right to speak out on issues, the right to assemble or organize on public policy issues, or the right to petition our government for redress of grievances.”

NRA-ILA has been in the forefront of defending the First Amendment so we can protect the Second Amendment. This ruling is clearly a victory for our continuing efforts to educate voters on where politicians stand on our fundamental, individual Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

I'm in the process of getting the xd 45acp sometime soon. So far the price quotes I got is between 625 to 650. Is that a good deal?

I really want the bi tone color xd45 compact (od green/SS). I know it will be more. But finding one is going to be a hard one.

SmoothZ · 02-08-2010, 09:10 PM

So what ever happened with your plan to get the AR? Did I miss that post?

I personally like the Sig 556 that blue posted. Never shot one, but I've held it.

tvfreakazoid · 02-10-2010, 05:02 AM

Here's a pic of my AR. The top one is mine and the bottom one is my buddies:

POF Upper
Spikes tactical lower
MI front and back sights
hogue grip
Magpul MOE
ST-T2 buffer
Giesser SSA trigger
RRA LPK

You planning to put optics on that thing?

Inspector71 · 02-11-2010, 12:27 PM

Very nice ARs. I have a few and kept to the iron sights. There are many reasons to go to optics. Mine are designed for self defense and I wanted to see what I could do as far as training and shooting with the battle sights. I may add other goodies later but never really cared for laser lights.
