Good Lord...don't nunya rednecks shoot in the summer?
couple toy mods for you....
Ruger PC-carbine (9mm) with added hand stop on hand guard (I actually like this a lot) Good grip assist without being bulky or in the way (you know....since I have little princess Cinderella hands)

and the Ruger with the ridiculous 32 round mag...

and don't forget the new Ft Smith 20 Gauge knock off. Just picked this up yesterday.
Turkish made, and the finish is not what I'd call top shelf, but got this BRAND NEW in the box for $131 auction. Didn't really expect to win it, but did.
I did not own a 20 ga. This pump holds 7+1 3" shells. Cycles really smooth. Have not fired it yet. Got to get some 20ga shells. probably cost more for 100 shells than it did for the damn gun.
Someone around here got to be the honorable redneck and get another gun this year.

I haven’t bought a gun since Virginia changed the law last year that basically eliminated private sales.
not that it matters, you gotta double my age to get the number of things in my safes. Which also means I can’t possibly shoot everything I’ve got in a year. A range session is several things I need to stay proficient with, then several other favorites, then maybe there is space and time for other things. Then there’s cleaning everything ...

Where da fook are all the rednecks on this site?
So.....since I went bonkers with reloading stuff this year (and a couple extra rifles), I can't justify another gun purchase this year
BUT.....
I have three sons with Birthday's in July (ages 20, 20, 18) so I got the bright idea I could feed my habit by building them each their OWN AR rifle :)
Palmetto State Armory is now my favorite supplier. If you have not used them check them out...their ownership has the proper mindset and they offer so much stuff in a variety of ways (partially built, completely built, just parts, etc). I have now "built" 2 AR's using their parts and they are fabulous. Great fit and finish, no problems, no rattle, and dirt cheap. The first was actually just a completed upper (wanted to swap out on my original A2 handle AR to play with optics on a railed version). Liked it so much I bought another upper and lower build kit and stripped lower. loved it so much, and actually enjoyed doing it.....I wanted to do again.
I really like the M-lock railed upper. It is a fairly narrow rail so easier to grip with my girly hands, plus it makes it easy to mount just about anything/everything you want to.
I have an original A2 style AR (with the carry handle, round foregrip, fixed stock) and I wanted to experiment with optics and other add ons utilizing a railed upper
So...PSA is so friggin awesome, I discovered they sell "blemished" parts which I have now purchase 5 of and on only one could I even find the blemish and it was inside the stripped lower (just a bit uneven finish on the inside - which nobody will EVER see unless they take apart the rifle.)
I have now "perfected" the purchase to a blemished completed upper and lower build kit for $399 paired with a blemished stripped lower for $79. That's a $478 complete rifle (after assembly) with MBUS pop up sites, M-lok railed upper, Magpul MOE lower kit (buffer tube, handle, stock, etc). I added a SigRomeo 5 red dot with shake-awake (which is awesome) for $129
This rifle cost me $478 to build, but it is a far better shooter than my original A2. I'd say it is a mid-level AR product but at a very budget price for what you are getting. If you want upgrades, PSA offers just about anything - heavier barrels, varied lengths, upgraded triggers, etc. I was not really that big an AR junkie, but after putting a couple together.....I WILL be doing it again...and again...
Plus PSA makes most of their own stuff...they have grown exponentially over the years by providing quality products at fair (cheap) prices. Their goal is to do exactly that...provide freedom to as many Americans as possible by providing these products at budget prices. Plus they make a variety of receivers with different "messages" on them.
check out the link to their philosophy...

Don't have all the parts yet, but building one in ODG, and FDE finishes for two of the boys so they can tell them apart.
I ran into a problem though......Now I need another damn safe to store all these toys. Such problems to have :uh-huh:
That, and I will never keep up with the ammo needs for all these.
Pics attached of the "liberty" stripped lower. It says "LIBERTY-15" with a liberty bell and "skull" logo and the serial number is "ORDEATH-0000". The selector switch (safety) is labeled "WE THE PEOPLE" They also offer a Virginia lower with the Virginia seal (modified) on it as well as many others.
I bought mine as a kit to build...because I wanted to, but you can buy a completed lower for $149 and a completed upper for $399 and just snap the two together in 30 seconds and have a complete rifle. PSA also does sell completed rifles, but if you shop around and wait for them on sale, you can get a very good quality AR for $550
sorry for the long post....but nunya other rednecks are posting anything here.....apparently all too busy watching cars turn left. :raspberry:
