I have to wonder what the guys that bought 100 striped lowers plan to do.

The "Factory fitted" parts is exactly why I liquidated my XD collection years ago and converted to Glock (used to be a glock hater lol)
Most of my "spare parts" reside in other firearms. Redundancy is key. The whole 2 is 1, 1 is none philosophy. |

Yeah... not buying extra parts.... I’ll just grab a different rifle, or a different pistol. I’ve got a few to choose from.

Agree for time being; however, 3D printer go brrr. They can’t stop what’s coming - technology and materials advances will bring the small parts factory to your dining room table.

Iv been saying this for years.
The proposed ban specifically bans spare parts for banned weapons, or any parts that can be used to assemble a banned weapon. Best be getting prepared people. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What tends to go down on a Glock 19? Serious question. @thorn653 Unless you have a high round count on it, it’s pretty resilient. That said, after taking the Glock 1-day armorers course, I have stocked up on slide and frame parts kits, but I have several Gen 3 G19’s. If you’re going with single parts, I’ve also done recoil springs, locking blocks (be careful which generation G19 you have as they are generation and can be intra-generation specific), firing pin springs, firing pin, extractor, extractor spring. If you want to keep it even more simple than that, then stick just with the springs: Recoil, extractor spring, firing pin spring, etc. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have to wonder what the guys that bought 100 striped lowers plan to do. Sell/barter them to guys who need stripped lowers. That's like 1/4th my get rich in the Bipocalypse Civil War Revoboog plan. I've bought a bunch of dumb shit at low prices for quite a bit, just in case. You think the average tard is going to know what TAPCO shit is? You think Cletus or Tyrone is going to know that Century Arms is junk? Think about it. |

 You pretty much can't find parts anyway... and when you can, you must accept an ass-raping to get them so you really aren't any worse off in a world where gun parts sales are banned. |

Also another reason to go quality over quantity.

OP is correct.
Additionally, you should have two of every firearm in the event that you suffer a catastrophic malfunction such as a defective round / squib that destroys your rifle, carbine or pistol when you fire the next subsequent cartridge. Seen it happen in the military. What if you are unable to tactically acquire a replacement weapon (to say nothing of ammo)? Springs wear out. Magazines wear out. Optics wear out. Small parts wear out. For you 10.3 in barrel weirdos, bolts wear out. Bear in mind, spares that are excess to your requirements can be bartered for other necessities. |
