M&p 15 vs Daniel defense

[ChattanoogaPhil]

See. Heres the thing, i like diversity. So I have a mid length, but i want a carbine too and I also want one for longer range shooting even thoughi will probably never shoot that far.

So i dont buy cheap, but i dont buy expensive

Sounds like you should look at BCM. They got a ton of quality choices. Since you like DD, they make a bunch of complete uppers including DD rails in different configs on sale 599-699. Buy a $100 striped lower, toss in a $75 lower kit, $200 trigger, $100 stock kit. You'll have one heck of a nice rifle exactly to your liking for about $1200.

BCM. ....good choice

What about the piece of mind investment of having an AR ready to protect you and your family should the need occur? Or the emotional investment of a good day at the range? We can broaden the definition of investment.

Think the whole of this thread was just one big rhetorical question troll post because the op had bought two DD guns anyway. Very very few guns would be considered investment grade. Certainly nothing modern and especially nothing sold at Wally's. The only way to make any serious cash would be if new production AR's got banned but if all AR's got banned everyone loses. Guns are functional objects to enjoy some of us can afford expensive ones and others cheaper ones but a good shooter will shoot just about any gun well

Investment grade vs investment are separate things. Prices of AR has repeatedly risen and fallen in the past 2 decades. Its bound to rise again, they dknt need to get banned to rise

Yes you are correct but what would you get for an 20 year old AR now? If I had the use of a gun for 20 years and could sell it for about the same price or higher than I paid I would say it was a good investment but if you'd put that money in stocks 20 years ago you would have made a lot more but of course you wouldn't have had the gun

Maybe. Or some stocks stay stagnant or go bankrupt. Panics dont happen in 2 decade intervals. They happen more often than that.

And yes i see it as, i get enjoyment out of playing with it and then i sell it for same price 5 years from now? Win. But more than likley there will be a panic that will atleast inflate prices by 30 %

Just looking for opinions.

Let me put this how you will understand it...


GMC vs Peterbuilt

and then some.

My DD M4v4 doesn't shoot any better than my Sport. And the trigger on the Sport feels better than the DD trigger.

That said, I've never thrown my Sport out of a helicopter. FWIW.

Have you thrown your DD out of a helicopter?

Due to being poor and not having a helicopter...no. That comment is in reference to the DD torture test video where they end up dropping the rifle from a helicopter and shoot it afterwards.

Google. It usually works.

Fixed it for you.

 

[ClayCow]

I dont understand aome torture tests. I just dont ever see a situation where id be in a heli with my gun, then drop it, then go find it, then go shoot it.

I'm aware of the DD and Larry Vicker's torture test, but you compared your DD and your Sport, and then stated that you have not thrown your Sport out of a helicopter, somewhat implying that maybe you had done so with your DD...

I take Larry Vickers recommendations with a grain of salt, as they tend to change with the paycheck.

AR as an investment?
Mine is a money pit.

I agree. They can be a money pit if you let them.

Myself I buy what I want because I can. Shooting and collecting is my hobby. I'm sworn to none, loyal to fun when it comes to manufactures. If I want one and like it, I buy it.

What I think is funny is the "Mine is better than yours" fan clubs. I run the gauntlet from the low end to high end and the ones in the middle (as do many of my collecting friends). It boils down to how well you take care of your weapon, ammo quality and how good a shooter they actually are.

You can never have too much ammo, guns, or accessories on your gun. Im going after guns and ammo while theyre cheap, accessories will always be around. Im trying to alternate between stocks and guns each month but its been guns guns guns lately.

I've stayed away from the stocks (seen some people take some really bad hits over the past few years and recovery has been slow). I have always stuck it in more land. Tree and animal reserves, along with some farm land.

IF I find a weapon in my caliber range and can get a really good deal I might add it to my collection.

Oh no the stock market past few years has skyrocketed. Scares me because of a possible bubble.

Id also like do land, but you have to pay taxes on them and maintenance and i keep.moving. one day thouugh ill diversify into land.

Either way you cut it, people make good money on guns land stocks whatever, you just have to know how to play it.

 

[mk3]

For the price of the DD, you can find a VTAC 2.

I'm saving up for a helicopter

Can AR's survive getting run over by a Hummer?

If you're worried about all this BS get a couple of AK's
