AR-15 platform rifle, your thoughts, BEFORE they become "illegal"

There's a reason why all my rifles wear Troy TRX Extreme rails or Alpha Rails, Troy BUIS, Troy VFG's, Troy professional grade sling adaptors and Troy slings....they're the best! I already have one of their uppers on one of my guns, and plan on buying another in the near future!

...named your firstborn son Troy...

He'll be mil-spec when he pops out.

Depends....if its just for the range, then get whatever. Any kind of Duty use should be AIMPOINT at minimum, with EOTECH running a distant second. Most red-dots on the market are cheap Chinese clones of the Aimpoint exterior design, with none of the technology or reliability.
Best entry level red-dot for duty use is the Aimpoint PRO (Patrol Rifle Optic) an updated version of the original CompM2.
Good news is they're bomb proof....bad news is they're around $450 but LE discounts are available. There is a trainer who starts every class by dropping his rifle onto the optic, hasnt failed or lost zero yet.

That's funny, I saw him throw it 20 yards downrange at the last class of his I went to. When I asked him if he paid for it, he said he pays for all of his shit.

Aside from son 1 being born on Christmas Eve many moons ago, this is on track to be the best Christmas since I was a lad!!!! I'm ready to expode! Just got off the phone with Mrs. Law, who just met with her Troy Industries contact. We have a standing invite to tour the facilities and talk weapons! I really feel like I won the lottery, even just to see how they do their magic. For me this is awesome, I'm sure for Mrs. Law not so much, but what a huge development.

Like Ricky Bobby says, "I'm harder than a diamond in an ice storm"

You might want to forward this chart to your friends and family for a few gift ideas this Christmas. Merry Christmas to all.

5 Guns to buy before a potential ban

Spikes makes a decent rifle. I agree with Killjoy on not getting a cheap optic. Your life could depend on it some day. If you want to go cheap make sure your back up irons are zeroed.

I have a .22LR Spike's upper and I'm happy with it. One of my buddies also just purchased a Spike's M4.

I have an Olympic Arms lower, Bravo Company A3 upper, and KBTactical lower parts kit. I think I'm going to stop now and see how things shake out.....barrels and bolts are outta sight right now! Pretty darn frightening!

I was in the market for an upper...now I gotta wait. Was at a store in Pelham, one of the owners was buying mags online, cheap. Listing kept popping up for 100 at a time, like 5 bucks apiece. Its a surplus store owner outside Ft. Benning. Said he has trash cans of mags, dumping them because he's afraid of anemergency outright ban. Stamped, so no-go in lowly MA.

Yup...my wife was a little upset that I bought a new lower six weeks ago. However, my timing was impeccable.
