I slapped this together with random parts for around $500. I guess I got lucky because it actually works. PSA glock mag lower, MAS Defense 4.5" upper and a AIM surplus bolt.

Specifically for the Ranger.....
What is a good rifle / carbine / PCC / folder option that fits either behind the rear seat or under the driver seat. I'm looking for small and compact but bigger than a pistol. Must hide COMPLETELY out of sight as I have Coworkers in the vehicle at times and they are 2A Sensitive. I don't want to have to explain how Arizona gun laws protect me to the HR Types of Peoples who live in a land protected from reality by magical rainbow colored unicorn farts that smell like lilacs and rosemary and have the smooth texture of artesinal goats milk hand soap.

Wish Gun accessories

Found these at Wish.com The
Tactical Combo Vertical Foregrip Strobe Flashlight & Red / Green Laser Sight Fit Picatinny 20mmRails $27 I bought two and the quality is very good. I believe its the same import of this item. Great reviews. AND shipped from the US

Please don't "educate" me on shopping WISH.com and ALIExpress, I buy the best price especially if its the SAME exact item sold in the us for 2X more. If US prices were good I would buy here but 60% profit is not something I am willing to pay. It's a global economy and I will take full advantage of that when possible


US version (Made in China) https://www.amazon.com/Junchi-Exter...cal+foregrip+with+light&qid=1593956634&sr=8-4

99% of the time I shoot my AR's I'm shooting from a bench so a fore grip gets in the way. Even a 30 round mag will sometimes be to long and rub on the bench so I have a 10 rounder for when I'm doing more precise shots. When I'm not bench shooting I use my AR pistols and I have an angled fore grip on those because to have a vertical one it needs to be a SBR and then that's another tax stamp. My home defense is my CZ Scorpion which I have a light with a pressure switch. I like it because it's rechargeable and I just recharge it every month along with my other rechargeable flashlights. You can just take it off the Pic mount and also use it as a regular flashlight if needed.

No lecture and I use to do the same BEFORE this damn virus hit us. I still believe this was done intensional and I will avoid buying anything I can from China! It's tough as some things are only available from there but I look to buy from the USA as much as possible. With that said I had a problem with a return a few years ago from Wish so that's why I won't use them. It might have been a one time issue but it was still a PITA trying to deal with them.

It looks like the green laser is $1.00 more buying from Wish once you add in the shipping. ;) It's $49.00 + $12.00 shipping and the Amazon one is $59.99 but regardless they're both coming from China and they look identical. Amazon is just so much easier to return stuff if you don't like it or there's a problem so sometimes for a few extra bucks it's worth it.:)

@Snorebaby ...Doug here's another budget build kit for a really good price,$384.99/free shipping using code GUNSNGEAR at checkout. The reviews are very good with only a few complaints mostly cosmetic though,a few sharp edges,some light scratches and spots of missing blueing. Those look to be a bad batch from about 2-3 months ago as the most recent reviews are all good ones. Take not that this is a Key-Mod rail NOT M-Lok but they do have Pic rail adapters.

Found this on fleaBay. Since there are several Rugers in my collection it’s only right.

Whether I buy it from China or from the US it still made in China. If I would have checked that out on Amazon out of order from them but I feel about Amazon would I feel about China.

Yeah I'm less likely to buy anything from China today. I would have bought the one in Amazon if I had seen it. Years back I used to buy everything I could from AliExpress and DH gate. Nowadays I don't look hard on those sites for anything. They take so long to ship anyway. I know going in when I buy something with China a return is not going to happen. Too much red tape that's the chance I take but I never purchased anything over $50 anyway from China. In any case it's a very strong piece. I haven't shot the AR from a bench yet. I just joined it outdoor range Club so I'll get some longer-distance use of the ARs there. I have a tripod but it's an M Lok Mount and I've got to Picatinny rail so I don't know if there's a conversion. I know you can convert an M Lok to Picatinny but I don't know if you can do the same in reverse.

Well, I sold a pistol to my brother and thinking of selling another one but I did pick up this house defense and range toy which should be delivered to my FFL Thurs or Friday.
Streamlight TLR-1s tactical light already ordered.

Walther PPQ M2 45ACP 12+1

please share the link for this.
The link would not be much help. It was the only one on eBay. The seller just had this one. I would suggest keeping an eye out on eBay.

Thanks for the heads up. I am still looking for another geed build. I think I am going to do a pistol or maybe do a dedicated .22lr.

I have a .22lr conversion on hand, the lower build kit on hand, the stripped lower will be at the FFL on Saturday and still waiting on the upper build kit to be shipped. Getting excited as the 4 mags I ordered will be here today.

Got a couple other things to order as far as tools, This and This

A friend from work is gonna loan me This

The pivot pin tool is great to have and the best $8.00 you'll ever spent. lol I have this Tipton Gun Vise with a magwell attachment but honestly I build mine right on the kitchen countertop on a gun mat.

I have 3 more parts kits and only 2 lower receivers so I bought one more Anderson lower over the weekend from Primary Arms but it says 14-16 days to ship because they're so backlogged. Good thing you bought that 22 conversion because they sold out in a couple days.

If you do a AR pistol build you might want to get a 10.5" upper just in case you ever get a suppressor. Most suppressors require a 10.5" barrel but there are a few that have no barrel restrictions. Mines 8" so I was limited to which suppressor to get unless I got another upper.

I figured I would probably end up making a portable base for my vise with 3/4" plywood. That way I can set it on the kitchen table when needed. I will use the jig just to see what I think I may need. I like the BEV Block and would probably get it later.

I see the benefits of the Reaction Rod as far as working on the barrel/upper. I like that you can turn the upper any way you want to work on it, but it is only in the upright position with the BEV Block. But if you have to pull on a component, the reaction rod is useless where the BEV Block has it captive.

I will probably end up with both. :bandit:

I purchased the lower from Primary Arms on 6/25 and it shipped yesterday. So not too bad. I ordered my Upper build kit from Omega Tactical the same day and it has not shipped yet.

My cousin and I were talking the other day and he wants to build a 7.62 in the AR format. He has a .223 bolt action rifle that he hunts with sometimes. Should be fun as he hasn't built an AR before either.
