I believe everyone should have a trunk gun just in case. I like the carbine I have as it shares common caliber with the handgun I keep in center console all the time, but that is just my preference. Just get and keep "something" to protect yourself or your family.

I'm about to SBR all of my existing AR lowers.
My plan is to build up a pinned 14.5" lightweight BCM upper on a finished 80% lower in case I want to cross state lines with one without paperwork. |

Good luck finding a used 6920 for less than what you can find a new one for. It seems like people are trying to.seek their Colts for more than Wal-Mart, Buds, and the like are seeking them for.
PSA is good to go, they'll fix any problems of you have any. Look for some cheapo M&P15 Sports on Armslist, etc... as another option to consider |

I was in the same situation as you OP, all my rifles are now SBR'd. Grabbed an 870 for the truck for last weeks shindig. SAA had a deal last week for a complete upper I liked for $350, added an Anderson lower and I'll have my truck rifle. Originally I've always had a 7" AR pistol in the truck, just used the pistol buffer tube, well before braces were out.

I've never gotten a bad part from PSA (not PTAC). Piece something together from the daily deals and you could have a quality, reliable gun for under 700 easy.
My 'beater' ar was right around 700 with optic and sling. Blem receivers and handguard, PSA lpk, bcm barrel on sale. It goes bang every time and it's my go-to AR now. It's very close to being my favorite AR.

It's fine for target shooting and fucking around, I'm just not sure I'd trust my life to a PTAC product. That's why I hesitate. Quoted:

Since I didn't have form 20s filed for that area and I left under such short notice, I couldn't take any AR I had. And I won't take my AK (Arsenal SAM-7 Classic) because it's so nice. That's a safe queen. |

Assuming that the category of NFA firearm is allowed in the destination state... If you have a state that you travel to often, you can always complete ATF Form 5320.20. While I haven't done it yet, my reading has indicated that it is possible to get approval for a year at a time, and you must re-apply annually. In the "reason" box, write "All lawful purposes" as a catch-all. You do have to list a destination address, however. I'll be completing a ATF Form 5320.20 for a NFA firearm in a few weeks, and I am listing my friend's firing range as the destination. As it is, I live in one state, and work/have most of my interactions in the neighboring state. ETA: There is no fee associated with filing the form, but it may take a few weeks to get approval. |

No reason to buy used unless you come across a distress sale. It's easy enough to plug in an LPK and find a quality upper at a decent price, especially this time of year.
My cheapest AR cost me $600 brand new and I fucking love that thing.

Why the trunk? I keep my broken down AR on the seat next to me to and from the range. At least here in California, you can keep a cased rifle in the front seat with you as long as it's unloaded. My trunk gun is an M&P 15 Sport. I wouldn't risk my Daniel Defense.

That one place was selling magpul 6920s online for $799. That's like $850 for me after fees, etc. which isn't bad at all. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay anywhere near that to some guy with a used one though. $700 shipped might get a deal like that done if a little beat up, but you're right. People have the idea in their head that it's worth what Walmart is pricing them at. |

16" psa PTAC kit + anderson lower. Total cost around $400 if you're doing it right. You're out less than the price of a new glock if it gets stolen.

My ideal find is either a complete beat up Colt or BCM rifle OR
A beat up standard BCM or Colt 16 inch or 14.5 inch upper w/bcg and magpul sights for like $400 shipped and A beat up, chewed apart BCM or Colt complete lower for like $200-250. Substitute DD or LMT in as options as well. I just think that sort of setup represents better value than the sport or some other options like the PSA for a little less money. That is, if beat up quality stuff like that can be found for reasonable prices. |

My trunk AR, PSA lower, colt pencil barrel 16' magpul furniture and arms 40 rear sight. Love the gun, nothing to really fail and I strongly believe that I would more then likely be in a situation while I had that rifle then the others. I take it camping, traveling etc etc. but I've spent 1/4 less on it. |

I just don't think PTAC stuff is good for anything but blasting cans and paper at a range. The S&W Sport is a gun I love, but it doesn't have the dust cover. It's a matter of finding the right setup at the right condition and price. The gun can look like absolute shit, like it was dropped off the back of a truck onto a highway at 70 mph. 5 times. And have scratches and everything all over it. Ah long as the damage is only cosmetic and not a function issue, that's what I'm looking for, |

My safe queens generally have some sort of collector value to them, which is why I go all out pricewise and feel comfortable doing so. I brought up the Arsenal AK earlier, which has a similar following to the polytech legend. That damn thing isn't going anywhere near my trunk in anything but a nice case haha. The rest of my rifles are nice, but I couldn't use them for this purpose. I realize I have a gaping hole in my collection at the moment and I'm trying to fill it right now haha, I just don't see the point in spending $1000-1100 on a brand new rifle from BCM, Colt, DD, or LMT only for my first acts with it to be literally throwing it in the car/truck bed, onto the ground with all the dirt and mud, and down the driveway a few times. The thing is going to get beat up. You don't buy a brand new range rover to go to the demolition derby with...the paint is going to get scratched, it's probably going to get dented, etc. Thus, you buy the used range rover that already has the scratches and the dents so you don't pay nearly full price for it and you don't feel bad about adding a few extra scratches. |

I'm using one of the $600 pistols (brace included) from PA as my trunk gun. Just had to throw some sights on it. Well I hesitate on a pistol build for two reasons. 1). Some states I may travel to may have varying laws on how a pistol that isn't concealed on your person is to be transported. Pistols put me into a realm of law that long guns, IMO, don't. Long gun transport seems to be less restrictive as far as method, etc. and doesn't cause as many headaches. 2). I don't want to run across that one stupid cop that thinks that what I have is illegal because it's so short and looks like an SBR, who detains or arrests me, etc. because he doesn't know the deal. Nothing screams "scary gun" to the uninformed as much as a short barrel AR. Quoted:

A standard carbine or magpul moe handguard is just fine. I'm not going to out an optic on it either...just running irons. There's less to go wrong that way I think, and it's way cheaper. |

SIG brace on an AR pistol build. Preferably no smaller barrel than 11.5". Velocities really start to drop off once you go smaller than 11". However, there is only about 75-120 fps or so difference between velocities from an 11.5" barrel and a 14.5" barrel.

I understand. It doesn't have to be chambered, just there along with a few mags. I don't predict fergusson type stuff happening very often, but I realized this past week as a travelled that I was entering a city not too far from St. Louis/Fergusson that has a large African American demographic and that that could spell some trouble. I don't say that as a racist or anything. I'm just looking at it objectively, though I know I might take flak for profiling or something. But I didn't feel too comfortable with only the glock to be honest. I don't want to be caught in a situation again where I don't have a gun in the car that can be used if things get really, really bad really quick. It doesn't have to be chambered, or even loaded. That's what my pistol is on my hip for. The rifle simply has to be there. |

If you can afford it, I vote just to buy new the cheapest known good quality rifle (Colt and Spikes come to mind) at the best price you can get it, put a couple hundred rounds down the pipe to make you sure in your head of its reliability, and then- seriously- scratch it up. drop it a few times. lean it up against the shooting bench and push it over.
Theres a story every mechanic tells about "a guy he worked with once", who does body work. Everytime he finishes painting a car for himself, the story goes, he whacks the fender with a ballpeen hammer. Now the stigma of a fresh paint job is gone, and he doesnt have worry about parking lot dings and shit. |

Before I deployed about a month ago i saw S&W ARs that were basically army M4 clones selling for $600. If I was going to build, I would go with a pistol with that brace thing. All that being said, why not just get a cheap pump shotgun from a pawn shop or a sks or something like that? My truck gun is a crack barrel 20 gauge I bought at a yard sale for $50. If it get stolen from behind the seat I will be more pissed about the window that got broke in order to steal it. YMMV.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some fruitbat states won't let you keep a chambered shotgun or rifle in a motor vehicle, just fyi. Now an AR pistol isn't a rifle, according to law... wonder how those morons would interpret that? I keep an AK pistol and seven mags in my truck....I also keep copies of the ATF letters explaining what the pistols are and even an old ad for them being sold for the cops that have been living under a rock. Your own state's laws may vary. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Truck gun is one I won't be too upset about loosing but has to still go bang PTAC and takeoff parts all the way. +1. This. The only thing I do to the PTAC is use Flitz on a cloth and polish the chamber |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
With your CCW , a pistol can be kept loaded inside a vehicle or on your person , here in Maine. I keep an AK pistol and seven mags in my truck....I also keep copies of the ATF letters explaining what the pistols are and even an old ad for them being sold for the cops that have been living under a rock. Your own state's laws may vary. This is the way to go in my opinion. I'm not thinking I'll likely ever need a rifle, but if I do there's not much that an AK pistol won't manage. It is a ton of firepower in a little package, and an excellent illustration of why the NFA (and most gun laws) is stupid and arbitrary. |

PSA premium stuff is GTG. I have one complete Mega build and one complete PSA with the hammer forged barrel. You can get the upper for under $300 on sale or from AIM Surplus for a good price, a good bcg and a PSA blem lower for $129. Add a rear buis of your choosing and you're under $600 for a rifle with all quality parts. If shtf I would have zero reservations about taking the PSA.
The Mega is nicer looking and more accurate (because the barrel is free floated and melonite vs. chrome lined) but that's it. Honestly, I'm picky as hell when it comes to potential reliability issues with anything, from guns to vehicles. I sometimes think about it too much, and I trust that rifle. |

If the shtf are you truly going to worry about your guns at home in the safe?
The difference between a 600 gu. And a 900 gun is not much, just buy a decent model and call it a day I want to depend on my weapon, and if the shtf truly, I certainly hope I am not carrying my yard sale special, while all my reliable guns are home, oiled and Clean. |

I guess I would just throw it in the back floor of my VW GTI.
Not much of a trunk.
