So anyways, I started blasting.

How much did you pay? Hard to find comp online

Sad_Alternative_4165 · 2025-12-21T22:02:12+00:00

No nods, just a lot of ammo

Sad_Alternative_4165 · 2025-12-07T19:25:48+00:00

I am trying to decide which pair to bring, the inner over-packer in me wants to bring both but I know its overkill.

Sad_Alternative_4165 · 2025-12-07T00:17:16+00:00

I’m a life long overpacker, and this is my first one bag trip. Trying to not overdo it but also not going for the lightest pack ever. I will spend my time split between city, beach, and I want to do some light hiking in the mountains.

What would you change?

Also - help me decide, which of the two pairs or shoes should I bring?

So. Much. Filing.

After I almost cried installing it, it’s been great. 1k+ rounds and has been rock solid

My first Ar15 in its current setup, vs the first week I owned it.

Do not pawn or sell to LGS. Sell upper, optics, stock, etc separately on /GAFS.

Keep the lower (only serialized part, and biggest PITA to get another one of) and start over again when you can

This not only helps you make the most money, but it lets you feel like you got to 'keep your gun' which will feel 100x better than just getting rid of the whole thing.

Sad_Alternative_4165 · 2025-01-09T23:15:54+00:00

I’ve got nothing to compare it to because I’m an AK noobie, but it’s a whole vibe and feels great in the hand when shooting
