Honestly I can trust my life with it. almost 1k rounds and not a single hiccup with FMJ. Makes me feel proud to own it as Ive seen some who have much higher priced carbines and rifles experience various issues. I was at the range and as i mentioned in the video, a couple had a shotgun on the range and they were getting jam after jam. I shared my lane with them and they had so much fun. The guy was trying to teach his gf how to shoot it haha.
Felt like a proud dad XD
Yes it isSounds like you're having a lot of fun with it.
Is it your home defense firearm?
Peace favor your sword,

Gonna get on it soon.... I know Mr. Ramsey would just shake his head at me at this point in my life lolll
Point taken. I was beginning to switch into hoarder mode not gonna lie. All I do is look on internet for ammo now
Lol I completely understand giving advice that I need to follow as well haha.

I'm going to say something blasphemous now....:yikes:
You really do not need that much ammo for home defense.
Statistically a prolonged firefight is very unlikely.
Practice at the longest distance in your home, 7-10 yards.
Don't do anything else at the range.
Shoot one box of ammo every two months, that's 300/year.
Follow Ramsey for the rest of it.
Sell everything you do not need.
Yes, you need a gun for SD/HD but honestly you only need one.
If you don't have a CCW you're better off with the carbine for home defense.

I have ammo. How much? I don't hoard, that is for certain, but I do have enough to last through the next election cycle. But, I reload, have for decades. I buy supplies when they are "cheap", after the panics. I keep the amount of powder, primers and bullets adjusted so I won't run out of any one component. I shoot enough to keep in practice and enjoy a day at the range. I don't do 500 rounds over a weekend! I space out my practice sessions to keep in balance.
I know of people who get into hoarding. They brag about having over 100,000 rounds of ammo (mostly .22). I wonder what they will do with all of it. Don't tie up money on stuff like that. Keep enough ammo for two years of normal shooting and then pace your self. Collect ammo during the "quiet" times when you can find decent prices on it.
This comes from a lifetime of watching the ups and downs of the gun world. But, its how I operated and your style may be different.

Not sure if there is going to be a easing of tensions for 3-8 years. I don't hoard. When you can't see out the the window in the spare room, you're getting close! :lol:
Watching the 17yo doing social work on the street the other night affirms what I already knew. It's getting crazier out there.

I forgot what age juvenile vs. adult ends and begins but me thinks that wannabe po po isn't going to see much sunshine again, if ever.
Concerning hoarding, I don't do it. That's why I quit at a million rounds. That would be an automatic check because it might wear out a few good guns. Oh, you meant ammo....yuk, yuk. Hoarding ammo or guns wasn't mentioned by Dave so it's OK. I like to surf GB. Now and then, there's a deal. Where else would a million rounds come from, or more, I lost count. Kind of like Walmart. The more you spend, the more you save...

There ya go, Pappa. I like that kind of reminder that a man can't own too many guns or have too much ammo. Especially with what else is going on, sad to say. "I was set-up". What next?
