there is a gun show in bristol, pa this sat and sun. 7 and 8 of aug. went the last time it was there and they had some good prices on ammo.

bought a colt ar 15 a month ago. its the LE model with the short barrel. real accurate and consistent. from 100 to 150 yards all the rounds went into the chest area of the target. thats with stock sights that i zeroed at 25 yards. i think with a scope it would be better. also a longer barrel would have made it more accurate but unless i decided there were jobs open for snipers i will stick with the short one.

A used one can be anywhere from $300-$700 all depends on the condition.

I would personally buy new when it comes to ar15's. A new one about right now is around $900-$1,100 for your typical flat top carbine. Just make sure you get a flat top (with removable handle) so you can mount optics later down the road.

If I were you I would start stocking up on ammo for the guns that you have. Right now you can find any gun you want, but ammo for almost anything other than a shotty is hard to come by.

they just passed and signed a law today in nj that limits a person to buying 1 hand gun per month. other than making the liberals feel good i have no idea what that does. guess its better to limit the legal purchase of guns than to even attempt the illegal possesion.

Anybody have one of these? I am seriously thinking of getting one and hoping it is a good model!
