It's common practice for sure, Aero Precision was known to be the lower receiver supplier for a number of brands at one time. When the M&P 15 first came to market in 2008 they were white labeled Stag Arms rifles before Smith & Wesson brought all the manufacturing in-house and also bought the...

Billets are only costly if you’re not making many and have only a few machines tooled to churn them out. I agree with you the MSRPs of most of these are over the top of what you could do on your own. I put Daniel Defense in that category too since they throw milspec crunchy triggers in...

So abandoning the Edge line up going forward then? Billeted receivers and maxim braced pistols are costly.

Most do, the AR manufacturing scene is very incestuous. There's only five or six barrel manufacturers for them all, and they almost all use BCM, Troy, Magpul, and Geissele after market furniture, hand guards, grips, sights, trigger components.

Scaling back offerings is what is peculiar. Most pistols are off line, and their most expensive "high end" offering the Saint Edge ATC rifle has been a flop. So it's a fair question, what's up here? M&P expanded their line despite their basic rifle being the best selling rifle in America...

M&P 15, Ruger 556, SA Saint, Sig Sauer Tread. Those are the four under 1K price point ARs on the list of the top ten best selling AR style rifles on the market according to data by Guns.com

The M&P 15 was the top selling semi auto rifle of the pandemic. That's because of price point plus Smith & Wesson reputation, making it the perfect first AR for a newbie learning the platform. It was even Kyle Rittenhouse's weapon...

Formerly it was M&P that was stagnant with just a couple of basic reliable offerings, they seem to have adopted the Victor and Edge tiered approach while SA has dropped it. The Saint and M&P probably represent at least half of the entry level AR market.

It seems Springfield has not been innovating their AR lineup and scaled back many of their offerings. I wonder what the decision making of this has been beyond supply chain issues. The retirement of the Saint Edge pistol series far pre-empted the ATF's tenuous brace ruling that will never go...

I don't like that lawyer, he tends to speculate like a Fudd and sometimes says things that very fear mongerish.

FRTs do not convert into full auto. He had 38 Glock switches, which actually are auto sears.

This is really frustrating click bait. I really wish online personalities behaved with greater discretion and less bombast. The person arrested in Massachusetts had 38 real NFA violations, and when taken into custody FRTs were merely among his contraband. He was not targeted for FRTs, 100k...

The M&P 15 is one of the better budget friendly AR style rifles for people that don't want to spend a fortune but get a reliable product that does the job. I've heard it called the Honda Civic of the AR platform, it just gets it done and lasts.

The rifles are on gun broker, Texas Gun Trader and Armslist pretty regularly, the pistols are scarce.

Are you looking for a pistol?

So this is a little project I’ve been tinkering with for a while, but this weekend we will be test firing a semiautomatic MG3 built to accommodate a drop in AR trigger pack like the Rare Breed FRT. Stay tuned as we tune the gun to run in all its intended rapid fire glory with a semi auto bolt...

The non compliance to this going to get interesting.

If you leave it outside it'll wander back to where it belongs. ;)

I've got plenty of ammo in my predator pack to take them all out.😎

I've built some pretty effective hog killers if we can get them in a non populated area.;) Here I was goofing with the rig when I was figuring it out, it actually has been a great hog killer on Central Texas property.
