    Could you imagine having to explain the bruises and video from getting hit with that?!
    Antifa is used to getting slapped in the face with dildos. They'd open up and catch them in their mouths like they're at a Hibachi restaurant catching food the chef throws to them.

I can give or sell my AR pistol to another citizen - try that with a NFA weapon.

    You're still in compliance with the NFA by using a pistol brace.

    I would like to update my previous list:

    224 Valkyrie
    6mm ARC
    6.5mm Grendel
    6.8mm SPC
    300 BLK/300 Whisper
    350 Legend
    375 SOCOM
    450 Bushmaster
    458 SOCOM
    50 Beowulf
    Don't really want to get into the debate necessarily, but most of the calibers you've mentioned do have a role and enhance the overall AR platform. Most are niche calibers, but do serve their purpose in intended roles. Especially those that have been around over a decade like the 6.5G, 6.8, .450 and .458 and .300.

    Facing facts, the AR platform (in both -10 or -15 models) has replaced the bolt action in all but a few categories. More calibers means more mainstream and more mainstream means wider acceptance.

    I would like to add any muzzle device that either looks like a medieval torture implement or is shaped like a dragon's head or unicorn ass or whatever should be melted down for soup cans or something along those lines.

    I thought the idea of a grip pod made sense until I picked up a used one cheap. Like the "salad tong" M-16 unit, they are great for propping up the gun when you set it on the ground (and I guess for spending hours in the prone), but a poor substitute for a real bipod. The grip pods are also a couple inches too long when collapsed and a couple ounces too heavy all the time.

    Most useless AR accessory? I'm gonna up the ante and say many of the tools buying them thinking they're some kind of "magical talisman to ward off evil" without putting any thought into HOW to employ them if they're needed.

    Such people should get a tube of K-Y included with their purchase "so it'll hurt less when Mr. BG rams it up your fourth point of contact"... and while I have to cop to not having anywhere near as much trigger-time on the range as anyone here would deem Acceptable Minimum and studying the Marksmanship manual is a very poor substitute, at least that and dry-fire help lay foundations which is more than many of these bozos do.
    You really have to ask why Conservatives have guns? Because Liberals block freeways, burn cities, throw Molotov cocktails, loot, turn over cop cars, and think this behavior is Socially Acceptable.

    Not sure, but i always put a new one in when i replace the barrel. So would say at least 20k rounds. I do not do mag dumps so my barrels last a tad longer.

    I usually can’t get it out of the block by then, unless I really, really want to. Same applies for getting the block off the barrel

    I agree, always ends up changing them all. Bolt included also.

    Yep, not all of us are as gifted as Rittenhouse. I hope the justice system treats him fairly.
