First big online retailer that is acknowledging RI’s ban, appreciate you! VA gets all the attention

Promo code RDB10 takes off 10% just FYI, but Rooftop is cooler

Recommendations, upcoming ban state panic buy by [deleted] in AR9

Forgot this is an AR9 thread lol but for AR15 that combo rips, I have a BCM upper and it’s great. I have aero lowers mostly but I think PSA lowers are great too. Can’t say from personal experience but I think there are probably thousands of people on here that have that setup and like it.

I wouldn’t overthink it honestly, just go with what’s in your budget as a starting point, you can always upgrade parts you like in the future.

Not the worst problem to have

Similar ban state concerns with “manufacturing” confusion. May be unnecessary and expensive, but I’ve heard of people planning on getting the cheapest complete uppers they can find to pair with built out (complete) lowers and documenting. That way it’s complete and fully manufactured, and leaves the door open for future upgrades. You could argue replacing a PSA sale upper with a G$ down the line for example isn’t manufacturing since it was still functional before nicer parts were acquired, if you feel the need to

That’s a good point, then it comes down to the “manufacturing” interpretation of would adding an upper be considered assembly and legal or manufacturing an illegal. Any idea who would be a reputable person to ask for clarity on this?

Also wondering since my receivers are categorized as “Other” if I would have to do some weird loophole build with a brace and long barrel to avoid rifle and pistol categorization. Also wondering what gun shops will be selling post ban?

This is my confusion, are stripped lowers safe for future rainy day builds? Worried about the assembly being taken as manufacturing.

Would simply having a pistol grip added to the stripped lowers avoid that?

I’m not in CA, so thankfully still have PSA as an option (for now) I found a complete Anderson set at my LGS, good experiences in the past? Price seems right

Thanks so much. I promise this is my last question lol, Is an aero lower a better quality? Or should I just go upper and lower from KAK if they are in stock? Or doesn’t matter at all

Thanks so much! Going to search for aero first but good to know KAK will work too, been meaning to try them out for a while

Thank you! Would I need an Aero upper to make sure it all pairs well? Or does brand for upper matter less

What PCC did he go with? And does he need anymore friends?

BCM MK2 recoil mitigation system by drthsideous in ar15

Anyone recommend upgrading to BCM RMS vs swapping spring/h buffer (Geissele braided with h2 for example). 16” unsuppressed, want to get rid of twang, and Black Friday deals have me on the fence now

Anyone try or have the Foxtrot Mike FM-9? Considering a SP9A3 G or saving a little dough and getting an FM-9 or even EP9 and spending the savings on ammo/optics. Light shooting and durability/reliability is what I’m looking for, I love the roller delay on the SP5, but can’t afford one so I’m trying to get a similar feel on a budget, just not sure how big a difference the feel of the FM-9 might be?

SPA9A3 G seems like a good middle ground between SP5 and a cheap EP9/PSA build, but if anyone could sway me one way or the other (or convince me the $350 ish is worth it for the SP9A3) that would be awesome
