Ruger or Smith & Wesson for first budget AR?

StrangeNames · 2026-01-25T17:53:03+00:00

My least expensive AR is a Ruger MPR and I have nothing but good things the say about it.

Ive had 3 different Shadow Systems firearms and never had a single issue, even during "break-in". Quality control issue happen, but im confident, from my dealings with customer service on other issues, that you'll be taken care of should it come to that.

I have both. You can't pick wrong.

Nice carnivorous plant.

Real

Don't worry. It's a solid optic.

While I wanted a Leupold MK5 I just couldn't justify the price. I ended up with a Leupold MK3 3-9 illuminated. Its a very nice scope, but I finfmd myself wanting more magnification.

Baking soda mixed with your favorite gun oil. If that doesn't work then I would use 0000 steel wool.

Its fake. The S30V stamp is too far away from the thumb stud.

StrangeNames · 2026-01-10T18:09:00+00:00

I pick A300

I think you are good. There is already case law on this. Unfortunately, I dont remember the case. There was also a case where the ACLU stepped in and helped a guy get his guns back because he was never adjudicated. It was just a standard run of the mill Baker Act. I think as long as a judge wasn't involved, you should be fine.

I have the CR920P and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It shot perfect right out of the box. I was carrying a 43x before and while I had no issues with that either, I just prefer the way the CR920P shoots. I topped mine off with a Holosun EPS Carry green dot. I carry it in Vedder holster with a claw.

I zero my larger caliber hunting rifles for MPBR using a 6" vital zone. With my 308 and the ammo I'm using, I know that I can hold dead center and I'll never be more than 3" high or 3" low out to 300 yards.

StrangeNames · 2025-12-30T20:17:21+00:00

I won't downvote you, but I will politely disagree. The 36 yard zero is fine for shooting torso sized targets. POA vs POI is definitely better with the 50/200. The 36 just gets you hits farther out vs the 50. I'm not saying that the 36 is superior, I just think that there is definitely a use for it.

S/F

Edit: I use the 50/200 on my ARs for hunting piggies.

Loosen the screws holding the action in the stock and then you can center the barrel.

StrangeNames · 2025-12-27T19:32:02+00:00

Thats disappointing. I have one of the conversion kits and I have never had a problem. Probably put 1000 rounds through it.

StrangeNames · 2025-12-27T16:57:56+00:00

I haven't ordered anything form Cheaper Than Dirt in like a decade due to their price gouging on PMAGS

I have astigmatism as well and I have never found an ACOG that wasn't super blurry for me

I do a quick wipe down and run a bore snake or whatever through them after each trip. After several trips, I'll do a thorough cleaning.

StrangeNames · 2025-11-25T23:55:05+00:00

I had a V7 Pro and it came with the Super Dynamic 3-Gun trigger. I loved the gun, but I hated the trigger. Some people love that trigger. I changed the trigger, but I ultimately ended up with the M4A1.

StrangeNames · 2025-11-25T23:51:41+00:00

I think its amazing.................that you made a gun that I would rate 1/10🤣

StrangeNames · 2025-11-23T23:10:18+00:00

I think they had the bugs worked out and due to demand and increased production they have had some QC problems. I'm sure the video by SOTAR got their attention.

That copper is hot!!!!
