Oh but the weather and schools are fantastic :facepalm

If I hear that trash/propaganda as the reason to accept the Cali's butt reaming one more time from someone I'm gonna punch in the kidney.


I'm giving myself 2.5 years to save a $$ and evaluate texas.

you would last about three seconds in Texas. You belong here. Dubbs.
 
Texas ain't all it's cracked up to be any more. It's filling up, traffic is getting worse and worse, and the prices are going up.
On top of that, like Inkman said, the drought last year was terrible- as a matter of fact it's been dry there the last few years if I remember correctly.
To to it all off, most of the moto riding sucks, and if you're at all liberal you won't last (except in Austin or Dallas). True story- one of our neighbors had a son who had never wanted to cut his hair. First day of school he was sent home and told he wasn't able to return until his hair was above his collar. In a public school.
-rant over.
 
Back to the militia...
I'm thinking about picking up a 1911. It would be my first. I've shot them before and enjoyed them very much. Kinda thinking it would be nice to mix it up out of the Glock camp once in a while.
My thought is something cheaper to start. RIA or an STI Trojan. SSE is okay, so is used. If I take to the platform I'd upgrade down the road, but for now, I'd like to keep it a little more affordable in case I end up not caring for them.
Any pro tips? Thanks!
 
Hey braddahs... want to ask a quick question in regards to (AR) carbine vs. midlength. I am building my first AR now that parts are back in stock. Started to get tired of staring at my paper weights for 7 months!!!

Will a carbine be able to shoot more types (load and casing... steel) of ammo vs. a midlength? I am reading that because a carbine is overgassed that it can reliably shoot low load steel case ammo (like Tula, Wolf ... etc.) whereas a midlength is more finicky or picky on the ammo it eats?

I fucking hate this debate of Carbine vs Mid....

My carbine has been fine. Over 1500 rounds of everything from Match grade to brown bear crap ammo. Not 1 hiccup. Go with whatever upper suits your taste and budget.
 
No no no. I am not trying to debate carbine vs. midlength. All the arguments about real estate, barrel aesthetics, recoil reduction, dirtier chamber ... whatevahs, I don't care. I have read alot of that debate already on AR15.com and Calguns. What I am asking is... as a first time AR builder and I wanted to build a rifle regardless of the above mentioned and wanted something I could feed with regardless of ammo manufacturer and it work 99.9% of the time would it be a carbine or midlength.

If by BARFERs experience (whose personal experience with this is something I respect more and is why I ask that question here and not AR15.com/calgun) y'all tell me Rambeezi it don't matter than that is what it is. :) Anyways... I just brought this up because midlength upper assemblies are more available right now and I am set on building a carbine. But I've waited this long and I can wait a bit more.
 
I prefer middies with an "H" buffer. Slower cycling rate, softer recoil, more reliable extraction.
 
I like the middy for ease of use with wolf and other low powered ammo like PMC puts out sometimes. Only downfall to a middy is overgassing or blowback (unburned powder) that can spit in your face with M885 from LC or other hotter loaded rounds. Which can lead to fouling of the bcg quicker and making it dirtier basically.
 
RRR70, any issues shooting cheap steal case ammo? Thank you for your reponse! You wouldn't to have 16" carbine upper assemblies in stock would ya? :p

I've shot hundreds of steel case stuff from two of my old Noveske middies. Both had 14.5" barrels. I do have two currently one is a takedown and the other is a Bushmaster middie.

Neither, it would be an AK47 :laughing
j/k j/k.

I wouldn't waste time on your question though, pick whatever is available right now and get yer build going.

More info on the trigger please. Which one and how many rounds on it?
 
I'm currently running an RRA Entry Tactical upper (5.56 chamber, 16" 1:9 barrel) Carbine system. H buffer as well.

Not 1 issue with everything from 5.56 surplus (have no idea where the shit came from). Brown Bear, Wolf, MFS, Lake City, PMC... Hell I've found this upper fucking LOVES Fiocchi 52g V-Max... :laughing
 
Dopesick,

I have a few of those RRA Entry Tactical's and all of them cycle absolutely beautifully. Some on built "mil-spec" lowers with random trigger sets, other on Bushmaster lower/trigger set, etc.

Definitely some of my favorite rifles.
