-19* F actual is a whole different level of mother fuking cold for virtually everybody in the lower 48
Yesterday's low in both of those cities: Less cold than in Arkansas

So when the rare extreme record setting winter storm comes through, it just sucks for awhile lolI remember in Madison, WI and upstate NY going through long periods of time well below freezing and not seeing grass for months at a time. They were way better prepared to clean the roads but still.
You don't have the plows and salt and brine and all that ready to go there, nor should you. When this happens, everybody 'non essential' (lol) just takes a few days off

You done need a super round either -you can do a lot with a .308 win, 300 win mag, etc - 6.5 cream looks interesting.
I've been looking at the Springfield waypoint in 6.5 PRC
For .338 you could just fine with a Savage Arms 110 BA Stealth under $1500, and a mediocre optic.

Are guns going up a lot in price too or is it mostly ammo? Maybe I should sell some stuff if so. What's a good way? I have to go to ffl in my state to complete the transaction regardless (no private sales). How bad do they get you on consignment? Armslist any good now or do people just lowball like when I tried selling there a few years ago? Got offers of like 1/3rd my asking price which I said was my lowest

Ammo on the other hand, fcked. Price and in many cases stock levels are an issue.

Unless it's a Gen3 Glock or some other not-so-new gun being sold into CA for a premium. I had no problem selling my ca 2009 G19.3 to CA for $700

I had some reservations about buying an upper with some proprietary ****, but my search for a suppressor host led me to some PWS MK111 PRO uppers that were in stock for a couple of hours. Snagged one of them.

I always read about people having gas problems with suppressed AR’s but that hasn’t been my experience. I have a 11.5 BCM and don’t have an adjustable gas block and I haven’t had an issue. I can feel it a little bit doesn’t bother me enough to change anything. But that being said I haven’t been mag dumping cause ammo shortage.
Some people think piston AR’s are a gimmick others seem to love them.

But come on, blasting with a folded stock is too damn fun.

Biggest issue with my Arak is rail space, limited by that so it's a bit cluttered now with a QD sling mount, light, and pressure pad. Works fine for me, but guys with bigger hands have some problems working the charging handle.

Haven’t had any good discussions lately:
I’ll go : I haven’t staked my castle nut on one of my AR’s and it’s been fine for thousands of rounds.
Will I get slotted first in the boog unless I sacrifice my castle nut to the staking gods?

Agree it’s just cool.
That being said the PWS guns still require a buffer tube so can’t fold those.

Glock supply has caught up a little with the demand but there is still a premium price for them which is often more than retail
I still don't think we're in peak ammo yet. I personally wouldn't be selling a single round even if I had 10k of a single caliber. The 22 shortage took 4ish years to normalize

Sell the Gen3 Glock for $700 and buy a new Gen 5 with night sights and 3 mags for like $550. Why would younot do that? lol

If you could get $700 for the gun by itself, no magazines, no ammo, no holster, just the gun...that would be time to sell.

I was actually going to finally pull the trigger on a 14.5" super duty last night...but my 20% coupons decided to expire recently apparently. Damn.
Oh well, I got two super duties at 35% off so, I guess that'll have to do. But no 14.5 was out yet...damn
