Biden doesn't know he had for breakfast and will just try to read whatever his advisors put up on a teleprompter,that is “try”.  

 

I'm concerned about guns, ammo, and the 2nd Amendment.

But what I'm really worried about is the economy, oil prices, property ownership, and us being sold out to the chicoms.

Biden, or more likely his handlers, are going to sell out this country and frog March us towards socialism.

They will make Obama seem like a conservative.

Eh worse case scenario parts that are prone to failure are going to be the last thing that will be become unobtainable.  

Right now people should be focused on lower / upper receivers, magazines, and ammo.  Those will be the first to go and / or have a specialty tax.

Bolts, bolt carriers, extractors, and springs can always be made

It is a good idea to have 2-3 spare bolts for each AR though.  And maybe a spare barrel.

So no one here knows how to make any single kind of spring? Better learn that skill on YouTube before they take it down. And buy spools of piano wire and other spring steels, start learning now.

I suppose you can't make a firing pin without a lathe either.

Perhaps before the end of times comes you should try scratch building a firearm. No parts to start from, no drawings and no dimensions given. Use a couple of pictures and Figure it all out in your own.  Or perhaps take a complex part like a bolt or bolt carrier and make one from bar stock. Become independent if you need to be make your own stuff. Take pride in doing it. I dont listen to a lot of people, especially when they tell me that it can't be done.

I have scratch built several guns, most didnt work very well in the beginning, but as time and skill developed I made ones that did work.

Thats why i am confident that I will have great success making a naval flintlock ignition cannon.  I have to scratch build the flintlock lock. They arent available and only thing I have to look at is 4 pictures of a completed model. Originals are $2500-$5000 and arent common maybe they come up on auctions once every 5 years or they are not made to be active on a cannon. Just relics.

If you can make a 100% reliable flintlock lock on your own, then you can do great things. They are very finicky and must be built with precision in order to work.

If you want a real challenge build a flintlock rifle. Don't build a basic ugly rifle put full effort into it. Dont do a percussion any dumbass with minimal skill can build a lock plate with a hammer on it, this is why it was so easy to convert from percussion ML to percussion breachloader and then to breachloader with paper cartridges.

History of weapons is very fun to learn.

entire Bushy BCG's were less than that 2 months ago.

I'm gonna offer a logical and contrarian opinion.
Because this is all too familiar for me...

They blew their wad on the 94 AWB-yes.

I wouldn't worry quite yet about congress and Senate. I have the sneaking suspicion they're not going to be able to achieve shit nationally this go around...

State to state however...

Alot of folks bashed @Miami_JBT as being a Debbie downer/never Trumper/2A doomer seeking attention.
He wasn't wrong on many things.

He and I both have said we can not sit the sidelines and neck beard...Get active locally.
That's how the shit really happens. What starts as simple as a town/city ordinance? Goes up the pike, goes county, then state, then federal.

Florida is a good example. The ground work for safeact 2.0 has been set by a Republican majority.
Take that as "don't vote for Republicans" You're a lemming no different than a panty waist liberal.
Smoke and mirrors. They achieved more locally and state wise, than they ever could have nationally.
Redflags ring any bells?
The fuckery that befell Virginia Washington Oregon Florida etc...

I wouldnt go worrying what they'll do on a national level... it's my back yard I'm and everyone else should be worried with...

Think about it logically.
Under 0-Sandy hook.
Was there a national AWB 2.0? Stop of sales of arms and ammo?
Sort of. Neck beards fucked everyone. Just like they're doing again.
I can't think of a better way to do real harm than to scare the masses into believing they won't be able to secure arms, ammo, and parts, causing massive shortages, asinine prices keeping first time/youth barred from the 2nd quite like causing the neckbeards to come out in force.

Think logically about that last line. They've brainwashed the youth for 2 going on 3 generations to hate firearms.
Once they turn 18, if they have succumbed to forbidden fruit allure they will most definitely seek what they've been finger wagged for years.
They don't have $$$ to go get a Kac, Larue, LMT, 100 mags, 10k rounds at current prices, much less a budget rifle Ruger/PSA/DelTon etc...
Neckbeards priced them out of exercising the 2nd with "go be poor somewhere else" "go be young somewhere else".
While many of us stocked up and then some during salad days? There's a whole lot that didn't have that opportunity... I haven't bought a single round, a single component, a single new weapon since the fuckery kicked off. Salad days were awesome. I'd like to see salad days again. Not panic market...
That's a great way to kill the 2nd-Panic pricing... They don't need a national tax on arms and ammo. Just play the neckbeard lemmings by their fear. They'll swoop in and buy up all the parts, all the ammo, all the guns driving prices to pants on head retarded levels, and pricing the impressionable youth often rebels without a cause from actually adopting a cause-the right to keep and bear arms.

I wasn't alive for machine guns. They were banned before I was born. I'd have definitely neckbearded full auto all the things until reaching the poor house.
And not to flip for profit either. Shit, I'd have as many registered lowers as I could afford/store to give away compared to what collectors and others command...everyone should be able to experience the joy of full auto at least once... it's their birthright that was fucked over in FOPA.
But that's the difference between me and others. Big picture = horde all the things, give away at attainable to add relevancy to "in common use". Thus rendering their fuckery irrelevant.

And look what happened following Sandy hook.
Safeact-NY MA. CT. Nothing national happened, right?

Now add in redflags. Written fast and loose ripe for abuse.

What they won't be able to achieve nationally? They'll do it locally and state wide.
More free states will fall. All because neck beards and the distraction of a federal 2A buttfucking.

I'd be spending that inflated $ towards a legal eagle on retainer for the inevitable redflagging, attending town hall meetings to vocally oppose degeneracy, meeting with and speaking with local/county/state elected reps. As well as congress and Senate critters.

While I do not entirely disagree with your advice, I am merely amending it/enhancing it.
They accomplish more at local and state levels than they do nationally.

Beer aids pandemic and shut downs are literally driving people out of their states, bringing with them their fucked up ideology.

I've seen this before. I'm seeing it currently again.
Do not underestimate what can be achieved locally/state wise...

That's how free states fall boys.
Hide behind Muh Jobz Muh familyz at your own peril.

They'll accomplish more state wise than they will nationally. Especially if you have back stabbing cuckservatives and Rinos for state/local level elected reps... Muh friendz across the aisle/ their political career > our rights. Don't you ever forget that.
Their compromise = them furthering their political career at our expense and future generations expense.

Think long and hard before proposing or supporting a noise ordinance. Muzzle blast is louder than the damn kids exhaust/dirtbikes/sidebysides/snowmobiles/jetskis/boats/music. Go along with a noise ordinance you're helping the left by doing their heavy lifting for them.

Think long and hard before you sell those few acres to a developer. Once something is zoned residential, forget discharge of a firearm for any reason beyond self/home defense. Good way to lose hunting, good way to lose back yard ranges, what starts as an "in town limits" expands to within so many feet of a residential zoned area, feet become yards, yards become acres.

Think long and hard about the TL/DRs I've published in the past citing how they can kill the 2nd in multi faceted approaches.
From Muh environmentz to urbanization of former rural areas, to noise ordinances to think of the childrenz and "back home"...

While they propose a slew of fuckery at the National level? I'd be far more concerned with what they do locally and state wise... for the national level proposals are smoke and mirrors to distract from what goes on in your own back yard. And it doesn't help matters with redflags and other shit that didn't exist before...

Everyone wonders what happens to free states... if they didn't TL/DR and Muh jobz Muh familyz Muh property valuez they'd know...hell maybe even see some of the errors/mistakes they've made to fund their demise/enable their demise.

We're running out of free states... more can be accomplished via states than by congress/senate.

Which leads to the question. Any sources for complete packages of all necessary spare parts fir ARs ? It’s one thing to buy individual springs and so forth but it would be much easier to just buy several packages of all essential/most likely to fail bits and pieces

My plan revolves around battlefield pickups for both spare parts and ammo

Doing my 1st metal work project soon.  Printing out a Tec9 ejector to make one out of metal.

And I have been researching spring jigs for my 3d printed glock mags.

Conservatives are, by and large, giant pussies.

Present company excluded, of course.

OP is correct get what you can before it is too late.

Put this together over ten years ago for AR15s and keep it stocked and added to.  Can't see everything in there but bottom of box is stuffed with small parts kits, gas tubes stuff like that. Larger parts and tools and overflow parts in drawers.  Two more boxes like it for C&R and sporting weapons.

I have three of these field kits

If you don’t have it on day 1, you will on day 2.

That’s what they’re so keen on biometric locks.

That won't work unless the duty cycle and the force of the spring are really close.

If it comes down to me needing a rifle I don't think I'll have a hard time finding one. Our response has always been to hoard and it doesn't work. Why keep doing what we already know doesn't work? The response should be more of what most of the counties of Virginia have said - just plain NO! and look them in the eye as we say it.

+1^

Gee, that all sounds really complicated and hard. I'd much rather run up my Mastercard balance on an ammo fort and a basement full of PSA daily deals that my spawn will sell for pennies on the dollar or hand over to the local PD.

A low capacity boat anchor?

I guess it's a stop gap measure that beats throwing rocks.

Did you ever find anything?

You don't 3D print the spring, you print the mandrel around which you wind the wire to create the spring.

Within the last 30 days, we've seen the democrats blatantly ignore judicial orders.

Primary Arms was pretty good for me when I  was buying spare parts kits. They had complete upper receiver kits, BCG kits, Lower spring kits, etc.

These are the only luck I've had.

And buy a set of gauges!

That thread pointed me in the right direction for obtaining spare parts for my ARs, SCAR and all the other guns I own. Money very well spent. I still need a few more parts but all in all I am set for life.

I will plead the fifth, ignorance is bliss,, you know that sort of thing..  I ignored/muted Obama for 8 years I can do the same with this filthy maggot for 4 years (or less, hopefully he strokes out)

The problem folks just can't wrap their heads around is the Biden is just a puppet dancing on a string. None of what he says is his ideas. None of it is his creation. All of what he proposes and says is the agenda of the left

Where can I get cheap go/no go gages and whatnot? I need them for several different chamberings.

Awesome. I appreciate it.

I've been buying springs and various other small parts whenever I can to have a pretty good little stash. But you just never know.

Spring is just wire that has been bitch slapped. 3-D printer makes form for winding spring.
