did you do a search around for all homedepots within a certain distance ?..as in..more than just one homedepot ?. this is what i had to do back then. yeah..prices on everything is high.

Yes, furthest I'm willing to drive from my place.

Looked online Home Depot don't have any at this time. Lowe's wants over $30 for one more than I want to pay for a used cross tie. Í'm thinking maybe call railroad company and see what they say.

The weather is great here... plus I'm happy just reading the back n forth between yaw... get um ff! Lol! 

Not bad here Wilson 77 right now sunny skies beautiful day.

Anyone know where to get some? I hear you can get in trouble taking them along train tracks if caught.

Got lucky didn't have to buy high scope rings. The gunsmith was able to cut back the rail and that was enough to get the eye relief & clearance I needed for the 50mm. So while waiting for that to get done went looking at AR's and bought this one DB-15 5.56

Jeep, I can buy it assembled for $459.95. Friday I'm going to Herberts guns in Prairieville  and get some high mount scope rings installed and get scope bore sighted on my .308. While there I'm going to look at some AR-15's If I  can get a good deal might buy one.

Palmetto State Armory has far and away the best prices on AR's.  They are not "operator grade" firearms, but I doubt most people are "operator grade" people.  PSA does have functional, decent looking firearms. 

 

One can put together an AR now for about $400-450, which is cheaper than they've ever been.  That is likely not going to be the case for much longer, so if you're on the fence, I wouldn't stay there for long.

The Ar in the picture is from PSA it's like $559.00 free shipping.

I can neither confirm or deny. 🤔 That being said, I find the ergonomics of holding and firing are very comfortable, especially as I get older. Your trigger hand is in a more comfortable position. You can sit comfortably with a bipod and a hand on the grip while waiting for a shot on a predator. Great for coyotes, prairie dogs etc. I personally would not use it for deer hunting. In spite of the media calling it "high power" ( there is no such designation) there are much better options. They can be very accurate with the right gun and ammo. You can also shoot  .223 in it. One issue can be the mil-spec trigger. Most of them are rather gritty feeling. You might want to upgrade that for better accuracy. If you're carrying it hunting I prefer 10 shot mags, they don't stick out so far. Let us know what you do.

I'm thinking about it not 100% yet was looking and liking AK-74 but ammo is scarce, so now looking at AR-15. I have no plans to hunt with it want it for target shooting and home defense. After hunting season I'm planning to construct a shooting range (getting crazy at Sherburne WMA shooting range) to practice and have some fun with my CZ-512 .22 mag, Savage .308, CVA .45-70, 9mm and AR-15 if I decide to buy.. Wife enjoys shooting too she shoots 6.5 Creedmoor, Marlin .22 lr, CVA .45-70, 9mm and would also shoot the AR-15.

Woke up to 32 degrees this morning cold for Louisiana. Looks like 70 for the high today and back to the 80's by saturday.
