I'm going to attempt to build a CETME. I got my parts kit, will be purchasing my receiver flat next. I found plans for the bending jig that seem pretty simple. Hopefully by the end of summer I will have something. 922r compliance is a pain with imported rifles bit for an AR that isn't a issue.

How much trouble has it been to get the parts rounded up? Is it significantly cheaper to build one than buy one? Good luck with getting it done.

How much trouble has it been to get the parts rounded up? Is it significantly cheaper to build one than buy one? Good luck with getting it done. The parts are not hard to find. I don't think it is any cheaper to build, it may be even more expensive the way I'm doing it. 922r factors into increasing the cost. It says that that imported semi auto rifles can only have 10 out of a list of 20 of foreign parts. I wanted to keep keep the wood stock and militarily magazines so that forces me to replace trigger group components with US versions. From I want found they don't make US CETME trigger components, but they make HK ones. The HK 91 trigger pack is slightly different than the CETME, parts are not interchangeable, but you can swap out the whole pack. So that leaves me with purchasing a HK trigger pack (kind of like an AR lower) and then US parts for that to get my count right.

I made this point to a few people this morning. The US is an open and pores country and we cant keep anything out of this country. If the government were to ban guns organized crime would provide them.

Let's think like the Trumpster here. Remember back in December or January when he offered to grant amnesty to all the criminals here from other countries? At first glance, everyone panicked that Trump had hosed us, he's nothing more than a better speaking Jeb Bush. And what happened? For two days, the media tried igniting a shit storm with Trump's base, trying to break them by saying your messiah is a fraud. But what really happened, is for two days he got the media to tell all the criminals and millenials that Trump had agreed to let everyone stay. He put the left in a position forcing them to turn down what they claim they wanted. It made them look stupid. A gun bill that takes anything significant away will not pass. Even the democrats are not that stupid. But he's leaving the door wide open for the looney toons to bring up their wet dream list and showcase all the things they want to do to America. That's how I feel anyway. I can't believe he's smart enough to have made it this far only to make such a poor political decision now. There's got to be more than what it seems. Ha! I beat Rush Limbaugh to this conclusion by 3 hours. From his site... www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2018/03/01/panic-in-trumpville-over-gun-meeting/

Saw this.....and thought it was worthy of a post here..... HalcyonDaze 1 day ago We live in a society that fosters a victim mentality. I grew up with parents that survived WWII. Their mentality was quite humanizing. But victimization was never the issue. The issue was seeking a just result. A just result is not to attack the NRA or gun owners as a group, but simply to look at the cause and also who is responsible. The gun is not responsible for this. The person is. The person set out to commit premeditated murder that day. Justice says the killer gets tried and sentenced. The gun laws are the least of our worries because they are not any more practical than a sign that says, "Gun Free Zone". To a killer laws and signs mean jack sh^t.

Hearing all this makes me want to buy another AR, seems like a good time to support the industry. I currently own one 5.56, a rebadged Adams Arms I purchased at Fleetfarm. I was thinking of picking up a 308, any brands/models users like? I was thinking the same thing.

Now is the time to be selling AR’s to people you know aren’t crazy. The time to buy is when everyone has their head in the sand.

A wise man would have bought several at $499 a month ago and be sitting on them for another month or so... I stopped at the local gun shop this afternoon to check on prices. The cheapest he had was just over $800. Several were at the $1700 and up category (without scopes).

As this happens more frequently, the payoff on chaos will wane. The sky can't fall every six months and expect the herd to keep scattering.

Just look at .22 ammo prices over the last 9yrs... I predict that the top end will continue to rise. If these catastrophes happen more frequently the bottom end just won't return to $500/gun. Anytime an AR drops to $500 it should be bought. Social and mass media will sell these things better than Obama did!

I have not looked at ARs for awhile but the prices you are quoting have to be for the lowest level entry guns. Do you think every price point has gone up sense the shooting? If I go and look at a middle range gun will all of the those brands have gone up? Or maybe they just won't be on sale. Id like to support the industry so I'm not to price sensitive.

Id like to support the industry so I'm not to price sensitive. Nope. I think the lowest entry level guns will sell for $1k and up to guys who decide that they "need and AR before they are banned". A gun that is actually worth $1200 will stay close to that or raise slightly. Guys who want a quality AR will already have one (or ten) and will have this politics shit figured out. The average guy that has a 10/22 and a couple of 870's will continue to want the AR, and when they think it can't happen in the future will spent double what it's worth to get in before the ban. I'm by no means an expert... but I do know a lot of average guys.

Don’t ever forget, this is how they view us when it comes time to start dismantling gun rights.
