    Best AR Platform for the $

    Re: Best AR Platform for the $ I'm seeing a couple of armalites out there in the 900-950 range. Also got some hits on the RRA LAR15's in that range, too. +1 on the 'situation' in D.C. HotsunTX

    Best AR Platform for the $

    Re: Best AR Platform for the $ Fair enough. Where does decent quality begin and who should be avoided? Are there any hidden gems out there? Or - If looking at the used route, what would I want? HotsunTX

    Re: Best value for $ on 1911's Made it by one of our local dealers who is retiring soon. He had no Sigs, no STI's but he did have a nice Colt, a Springfield 1911 A1 and some sexy Kimbers for way too much $ :-)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best value for $ on 1911's

    Re: Best value for $ on 1911's For the sake of argument, let's call the price out at under $1k. Looks like there are some nice options available in that range. If I narrow down the look to Sig, Springfield, Rock Island and STI, what sort of niceties are there to appreciate later?

    Food for M-1 Garand

    Re: Food for M-1 Garand Thanks for the advice. I had looked at CMP and they were out of the ammo with clips. The ammogarand site looks to have what I'm hunting for. May have to try out the handloading thing, I just haven't done any of that in probably 20 years.
