[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just converted a fudd by showing him a walnut and case hardened AR (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 12/21/2012 7:00:15 PM EDT

For everyone worried about the NRA, or old-school collecting only guys selling out black rifles, start showing people pictures of classic looking AR's:

I just had a conversation with a collector (think Winchesters and Trapdoors) where I realized that emotionally, he only likes guns that are steel and wood, not aluminum and plastic. So I showed him the Trumbull rifle, and it definitely changed his thinking. I'd like to think that AR's are a platform that everyone in shooting can find something they like about.

Needs a schnabel forearm instead of that stubby little carbine handguard.

I think I hate Fudds more than yuppies who have never even seen a gun and are terrified of them.

Fudds should know better.

Front is some kinda ugly.

I wouldn't mind a case hardened one that looks like this though.

It makes my balls recede into my lungs, but if it gets the fudd's inboard I guess whatever.

That's exactly the point: I don't want one, but I also think collecting a bunch of safe queen pre-64 Winchester Model 70's is silly.

my wood was ordered from ironwoods designs as far as I know they are the only round hand guards he ever made, but I am sure he will make anyone a set.
