Hello from PA

[jyohe09]

Hey all! Happy to join the forum. I am in the process of completing my first AR build. So far it goes as follows:

Anderson upper
Anderson lower
Luth AR buttstock
STNGR 15" Handguard
Odin Works 20" barrel, bcg, and tunable gas block
CMC drop in trigger
Burris AR PEPR scope mount

Scope has yet to be determined.

Also am a reloader so I am looking forward to seeing what I can push this down to for accuracy.

Also hoping that one day the communist state of PA will let us use ARs for hunting.

Thanks for the add!

-Josh

Welcome to the forum Jyohe80.

Welcome, whereabouts in PA are you?

And I'm pretty annoyed about the no semi-auto big game hunting, but I don't know about communist PA...our gun laws are pretty much on par with the other "free" states who respect the 2A. Although if you're on the eastern side of the state I can see how you'd get a commie vibe.

No commie vibe here about gun rights.
I think the hunters with lever and pump rifles don't want their firepower challenged.
The few hunters I spoke to here said they did not want semiautos allowed. I was surprised.
They seem to want to cling to their traditional wood and steel.

I was also surprised by similar conversations. One point I hadn't considered until it was brought up by one of my distant cousins, who is very pro semi-auto for all other purposes, is that there are irresponsible hunters who might get over excited and basically rapid fire after a moving deer, creating a dangerous situation for others. While I'm not convinced that such a situation doesn't exist with lever or bolt guns, I did have to admit that it would be easier to do with an AR. That's the only logical explanation I've heard against semiauto hunting.

I suspect many hunters just don't understand the cartridges like 6.5G now available for the AR platform and think guys are going to be running around wounding deer with 5.56/.223 rifles.

Haha no not too serious on the commie PA comment. I dont see why they couldnt allow them and even limit it to 5 round mags that being said I also wouldnt mind a limit to calibers above .22

I am located in the central part of the state about 30 min from State College

[bj139]

I would be very happy with magazines that were blocked to a 3 round limit. Who needs more than that for a deer?
P-mags would work nicely for 3 rounds.

If you reload, the Grendel Handbooks we put together will make a great resource for your bench.
