[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you own multiple ARs? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 8/9/2018 2:17:45 PM EDT

This is probably a dumb question, but how many of you own more than 1 AR? I currently have 1 AR15 and I thinking of getting a AR10. I can get it for $570. It is a great price that I hate to pass up.

In before the poll.

Go for it, can never have too many that is why they make them in different calipers.

I have 6 but this is not a free state anymore. Cant buy another.

I've got around 30. Maybe closer to 35 these days if you include some un-built lowers.

Yes, I have several.
What kind of AR10 are you talking about? It sounds like a good deal unless something is wrong with it.
PSA I think offered the cheapest.

If ArmaLite, that's a screaming deal.

Go for it

Two is one, and one is none. DO it. And then buy some more.

Home Defense/SHTF AR
Truck gun/beater
Pistol AR
SBR
Long Range Precision
Different calibers

And then don't forget the mags...and the ammo...and the accessories.

There's a reason it's call Black Rifle Disease. Though in my case, I've caught the FDE strain. (It's even more economically crippling)

Like wrenches, I have more than one.

I think I have 6 AR's now. 4 in 5.56 and 1 in 300BLK, and 1 in 308.

The point of an AR is to have multiple.

Posted: 8/9/2018 2:35:55 PM EDT

[#10]

Almost as many unbuilt lowers as built. Salad days, nothing wrong with getting more. all it takes is a Dem pres, congress, and SC and we can say hello to another AWB. Some say that won't happen for a long time, but look how much damage FBHO did in just 8 years....

There is absolutely no reason to only own one AR.

It is the PSA Gen 2 AR10. You can buy the upper and lower separate for $530. My local gun store charges $40 for transfers.

Dormant ATF account?

[#14]

Sorry, nope. I just don't post much.

I already own 6 handguns and several rifles. I have just been wanting to add a AR10 to the collection before big brother bans them.

Duh

Posted: 8/9/2018 3:21:30 PM EDT

[#16]

If you want one, go for it. I'd read some reviews first, but the PA10 Gen 2 seems to have positive ones. Purists will dislike you calling it an AR10, but I don't care.
If you're concerned about another ban, I would focus on imports. Those are always the first to go.

[#17]

Maybe... who wants to know?

I’ve got a “few” 5.56, a new one in 450 Bushmaster and an AR 10 in 308. I have a “few stripped lowers as well. Don’t fight it, but more while the getting is good.

Old photo, almost nostalgia. I have 12 built up, all shooters. I moved to AZ and the AWB sunsetted. These were the result. Some have changed calibers. Some are now different manufacturers. Many config and optics changes. Pool table still has same felt, carpet is now tile.

Yes > 1

It is always good to have more than one AR. An AR in .308 is a good addition to any AR collection. Personally, I have dwindled down to only 41 AR-15s (complete), two AR-15 lower assemblies, and one KAC SR-25 Match (Mk11 Mod 0 conversion). I also have three SIGs (516, 556, and MCX). I have another retro build in the works (waiting on receivers). You can never have enough.

You should have enough to arm every member of your household.

Even the dog is assigned one in my house.

I have.9 AR's all set up for different purposes. I have 4 extra lowers for future AR's also.

Posted: 8/9/2018 5:00:59 PM EDT

[#26]

I currently have 4 with enough lowers to build a few more. I had at one time owned over 30, Had to sell do to medical reasons.

Bought an AR as soon as I was old enough and could afford it (wholesale on an olympic was $500). Sold it when the '94 ban happened. Didn't want one, instead went with the classic battle rifle FN-FAL type.

Last year saw an ad for cheap stuff at PSA, did some thinking, and figured prices on ARs were never gonna get lower - consider they are cheaper now than in the 80s, and minimum wage, etc. are all higher. I now own 3, which is unusual for me, since the only other gun I've ever had 2 of at a time has been 10/22s, because I have a basic carbine build and a heavy barrel target rig.

TBH was happy wtih the scoped one and the 9mm, and figured on just getting another upper, but ya know, the PSA sales and such.... and sadly, now planning a fourth (AR pistol in 22)

Posted: 8/9/2018 5:10:18 PM EDT

[#28]

I won't answer how many dozens...

But I do have AR's consuming the following ammo.

22LR
223/5.56
.300 BO
9mmx19
45acp
458 SOCOM

I am playing around with making up one in 22TCM. I think an 8"bbl SBR with can would be mucho grande FUN.

Posted: 8/9/2018 5:11:10 PM EDT

[#29]

Hell I have like 6 ar sbr's, I'd have to sit and count the title 1 guns....

Have a few a2's for basic screwing around, same with a wolf t91 style gun. On the normal ar's I have a bunch setup for different roles(and generally a backup rifle of each role).

Anytime I've built an upper to do something I've ended up making it into a complete rifle.

There's not one valid reason to just own one.

Do it.

Posted: 8/9/2018 6:51:17 PM EDT

[#35]

Go for it. It isn't a duplicate if it's a different caliber.

Where you at? Head over to the HTF, we might be able to find you a cheaper FFL.

Now I feel bad for only owning one AR

Posted: 8/9/2018 8:05:59 PM EDT

2 Colt ARs, one is large pin LEO engraved 6920 and a Walmart M4 6920.

I also have 2 Anderson Arms pistol lowers, and a Colt M16A1.

Uppers: 14.5" Socomm, original 14.5" pencil barrel upper, DD Mk18 upper, 9mm upper, early Shrike upper, late MCR upper, 22 integral suppressed upper.

I have over a dozen AR SBR’s in addition to a bunch of regular AR’s. Two is one but a dozen is better.....

That beware of the person who only owns one gun mantra is false bravado. I'm actually going to respect and be impressed by the guy who owns two of the same; primary and the back up clone if the main for just in case the primary goes down for whatever reason.

Between built guns, built lowers, stripped lowers, uppers and 80% lowers, I have no idea of how many I have and I have given quite a few of the ones I have had away..

Posted: 8/9/2018 8:53:33 PM EDT

[#41]

Me too. I feel like I have been missing out. I guess I will be buying a new AR in .308. I do have a mint condition .30 carbine, but it does not count as an AR.

Posted: 8/9/2018 8:57:00 PM EDT

Of course. I also carry more than 1 golf club in my bag.

You all are a bad influence.

So I just ordered a AR10 Gen 2 upper and a AR10 Gen 2 lower from Palmetto State Armory for $530. I have not seen any others come close to this price. The upper includes the bolt carrier group.

Us a bad influence? You must have not subscribed to the pic threads, because that's what will do it

I have a few. After I finish the 458 that I have going now, that'll be it. Done with gas guns and on to a couple of bolt actions.

Posted: 8/9/2018 10:41:11 PM EDT

[#47]

I have more than 1, in various barrel lengths, calibers, rifles, sbr, pistol configuration, suppressed and unsuppressed

However I really don’t enjoy shooting unsuppressed anymore, and I’m going to adjust my collection accordingly
