Should I focus on upgrading the guns I have with accessories, or buy another gun? I don't have the money for both, what do you guys think?

Flashlights can always be bought, the same can't be said for firearms.

Get the guns, then the other stuff.

I'd rate it like this:
Firearm
Ammo
Magazines/Clips
Accessories

Need more info!

Which guns do you plan on upgrading, what do you plan on doing to them, and what guns would you not be buying?

+1 more is always better who cares about how accessorized they are. The one with the most toys wins!

depends what your trying to buy. If something you already have than no work on your current guns.

well since the accessories are obviously cheaper than a new gun you can get multiple accessories for a couple different guns...that would work huh

Buy guns,kits,lowers, mags. When the new ban comes you can buy scopes and flashlights. Ymmv

Exactly.


Many people in California probably bought accessories. Then came the ban, they were USCWAP (up shit creek without a paddle).

I say buy the guns. But then, just to upgrade the weapons I already have to the way I want them will cost me five grand+. Either way sucks, but having lots of guns sucks less.

Accessories.  At one time I had like 3 or 4 guns that I couldn't shoot.  Finish what you started before starting more projects.

Don't ask me, it was hard enough to spend money for a safe.  I wanted another rifle instead SO BAD...


Now that the safe's full I'm starting to buy accessories.

+1  Get'em while they're hot.

Plus with the guns you're probably looking at a large lump sum at one time (assuming it's not a build that you're staggering out)  as opposed to accessories.  You can pick up light, scope, vfg, whatever, one at a time later on.

No problem if you are now old enough to move to a free state.
