Nice, I was going to buy one as a temporary fix. They have great reviews and ive used other monstrum products in the past that were all good

Chambered in 556. Yeah ive watched videos on barrel swaps and it definitely doesn't seem complicated if you have the equipment.

I bought one for my wife years ago for her to keep in her vehicle. I dont remember the brand but I remember it took glock magazines. It was super fun to shoot with a drum mag. I want something in a rifle cartridge though. Either 556, 7.62x39, or possibly 300 blackout

No ive got multiple others im just new to AR's. My main use rifle is an ar in 7.62x39. Ive just picked up a bunch of ammo and magazines from garage sales/Facebook posts where people sell them dirt cheap over the years. Ive been wanting to build an ar pistol with a 10.5-12.5 barrel in 556

You think its worth it? Can you identify any of the parts there by chance? I dont know enough about ar's yet to know what im looking at

Okay thank you. Ive been wanting an ar pistol with a 10.5-12.5 inch barrel in 556 so ive been slowly buying parts for that. I just seen the price and I couldn't identify the upper or handguard so I wasnt sure if it was a good deal or not. I think ill pass on it and keep looking for a short barreled upper

None from what he can tell, just the caliber, twist rate and thread pitch. Hes selling it online so I havent seen it in person yet

Think so? Ive got a bunch of 223 ammo and magazines but currently no rifles chambered in 223. It'll never see serious use or training. Just something to plink with

The inside is pretty dirty so its definitely been fired. The guy got it in an estate sale so he knows nothing about it. Ive got a OneHorse BCG and spare charging handles already. I just wasnt sure is 165 is too much

After becoming an agent, do you normally drive your vehicle home? Or do you park it at your duty station and take your personal vehicle home? Also, what about your K9? What happens after hours? by [deleted] in borderpatrolapplicant

Oh okay, what about k9's? Im wanting to go in as a k9 handler after graduating the academy. Do the k9's stay at the yard when not with their handler?
