I'm thinking a light would be a plus when we move. It's dark in those mountains after sundown.

I see

Me personally I had already learned 2 lessons- Viet Nam and the USSR rolling into Aghanistan. Yes I'm old enough to remember both of those as front page news. The US .gov should have given that a lot more thought, but the voters memories are as short as the general public's attention span so...

What is that attached to the bottom of the handguard

I see.

Is that cerakote or...

Just busting your balls old timer. A couple years ago the GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 (with NHT tow package) developed a lifter noise that drove me nuts. I took it to the mechanic we use for the stuff I'm too old tired and lazy to do anymore. He's well versed in GM LS engines. Told him I wanted a new...

Duly noted. All input and opinions from trusted knowledgeable individuals highly valued. Food for thought. The primary objective of the thread.

As far as modifying an AR, of that I am uncertain. I confess to modifying my bolt-actions. I look at them, get a vision and see more potential with various doodads. The AR, I honestly can't say. A reliable weapon, well made and adequately accurate with a good trigger will suit me. It will be...

Ok The only upgrades I foresee are... 1) the trigger. A piss poor trigger drives me nuts. 2) A suppressor

My thoughts are this D, you're into it for $1k, why not spend $500 more?

I'm leaning towards the Centurion Arms Lightweight M4. At any rate I've got plenty of time to think it over.

I've purchased new factory fresh Remington in both 16 and 20 gauge. Packaging is still the same but better quality control. Excellent well-formed consistent crimps. First batch of Nitro Mags (20 gauge 3" #4 lead) I ever bought didn't have the plastic buffering all over everything, and the...

Not that I've seen, and I've bought new factory fresh.

The government...and politicians...owning up to a mistake...:ROFL:

Agreed. No regrets. I've fancied a .300 Win Mag for use as a long range rifle for some time actually, although it would likely be a bolt-action. The prices of ammo and components have brought my long range ambitions to a screeching halt.

Truth!

I'm not holding my breath. The new tractor isn't paid for yet.

Actually after awhile she volunteered MAYBE...when we have $5.5k hanging around not spoken for

Just remembered to show my wife the pic...and cost. Pretty sure her look said not at this time. Or next time.

So, how much did you gain in the 1/4?

Tell you the truth boys, I'd love to have that rifle, less the Vortex scope. Other financial priorities now other than $5.5k on a rifle. Maybe some day. Might mention it just to see her expression.

Long distance is the next best thing to being there.

Since purchasing herself a stainless Ruger Mini Thirty a couple years ago (on my recommendation to her as a woods deer rifle/home defense combo), she feels empowered and is def born again hard.

I told her $1495 for the RIFLE. I can then nickel dime her to death at will with accessories.

You crack me up. You've given me some great advice. You're very knowledgeable in this segment, and I've been out of the AR loop for some time, so I'm catching up. As an Army veteran I of course had to qualify with the (Colt manufactured) M16A1, and fieldstrip, clean and maintain the damn...

Yeah, I'm hoping the availability situation improves by Spring or Summer. Wife is 100% on board and loves it.

Well truthfully Pod, I keep thinking about that Centurion Arms CM4 Lightweight

I think a man of your talents should craft a set of dueling pistols, with presentation box, of course

Either way, you do great work as always

Not a huge fan of purple personally but whatever the customer wants. Love the pistol tho, esp the vented slide.

We plan on getting our licenses Thursday. Fingers crossed we each get at least 1 doe tag.

The vid Pod posted shows suppressors which I think would be very useful too with the shorty just over 16" barrel length, considering muzzle blast.

Anyways I like the M4 features. A telescoping buttstock is essential so that I can adjust the length of pull easily between me and the wife, depending on who's shooting it. Flat top with pic rail is fine cuz I have a Leupold VX-2 1-4×20 hanging around and will be all the scope I'll ever need...

What can I say I was caught not paying close attention in between heating up 2 hot dogs for lunch and the wife going on about new garage doors and how ppl were falling off airliners leaving Afghanistan.

WHERE did you dig that one up? You mean Remington's 7400 could have potentially had some competition?

Who's Joe Biden?

Not yet. I need to save some of this research for winter.

Good to know. That's a useful lil tidbit.

Since one of my fave features of my 20 gauge Benelli Monte is the chrome lined chamber and bore, I can dig that.

I notice they offer their rifles with the faster 1:7" twist. This is to properly stabilize the 62 grain (in 5.56x45 NATO of course) bullets, correct?

Ain't that the truth

Funny you should mention that, the wife and I were just looking at the Centurion Arms CM4 Lightweight. $1495 is def do-able.

Lol @ "An ant's asshole". Now that's funny shit right there.

Target shooting isn't my primary objective, I am more interested in quality, durability and reliability. Kentucky is a Stand Your Ground, Castle Doctrine and Constitutional Carry state. This includes concealed carry for nonresidents over the age of 21. I want something that a man can count on...

What's a JP

I appreciate that, and your knowledgeable and experience input. My deal breaking price point is $2500, the most I'm willing to spend.

Quality matters more than cost, to a point. I don't want to build one, I want to buy a quality rifle I can depend on. Last I knew, Colt was top of the line.

Appreciate the input. $1k doesn't intimidate me, I'll still have food on the table.

I am considering the purchase of an AR- style rifle next year, when I change my residency to the great state of Kentucky. The new manufacture Colt M4 flat top has caught my eye, includes 1-30 rounder, and I was wondering if Colt still made a quality rifle. I had a Colt AR-15 Sporter in the...
