Looking to keep this specifically about firearms in the new era of rioting. In light of all the recent stupidity in our country, I know that the 2A is finally getting recognized for being important in traditionally non-2A crowds. Gun stores and online retailers are barren of the everyday guns. IF you do find them, everything's got at least 10-20% markup. lol just when everything was getting restocked from the Covidiocy, ammo is all gone again haha.
I just bought a new Aero Precision AR barrel and BCG for my Franken-AR. 1:7 twist and CMV 4150. BCG is 8620 tool steel with a 9310 steel bolt. I didnt want Carpenter 158 steel for the bolt. Nitride finish on both barrel and BCG. My currently barrel didnt size nicely with the new Brownells BCG I bought. Thats what I get for building my AR with a no-name barrel and bolt 5 years ago. Aero Precision confirmed that pairing one of their Barrels with one of their bolts ensures its correctly headspaced. ...take my money.
So, what have you guys picked up since this all went down?
