/k/ tourist here. Need some help buying a good rifle.Just found out my (gay) state of Virginia is effectively banning "Assault" rifles as of July 1st but it looks like I have one last opportunity to buy a decent rifle. Right now I have a shitty PSA but I definitely want something better. It doesn't have to be top-of-line since I shoot maybe 1-3 times a year right now.Doing my own research, it looks like BCM and Daniel Defense are the top contenders for my ~$1200 price point. Specifically, BCM MK2 or the DD V7.
Just take a road trip to a Tennessee gun show and buy whatever you want. Panic buying in anticipation of anti-gun legislation is a deplorable behavior.
>>65152064It isn't a ban threat, it's actually happening. After July 1st I won't be able to buy anything.
>>65152130You can just take a road trip to a Tennessee gun show and buy whatever you want. They aren't limiting possession.
>>65152047DD probably has a longer barrel life than BCM but sounds like you won't see that at the rate you shoot. You can try Geissele too. Save money by reusing PSA lower. Remember mags and ammo are arguably more important than whatever shitstick you're shooting them with.
>shitty PSAWhat's actually shitty about it or are you just looking for an excuse to consoom product? Is it unreliable or is the accuracy not sufficient? It's fine to want good nice things but you should at least be honest about it.
>>65152047the PSA lower will be fine, just get a new upper.
>>65152204I'm not a lawyer but I'd presume that buying a gun in one state and then transporting it to a state where is it illegal is probably highly illegal. But if I interpreted the ban like an idiot feel free to light me up.
>>65152261They're regulating the sale of the gun, not possession.
>>65152285BCM raider rails are a better buy
>>65152315Yes they are. They are regulating possession.
>>65152285Thanks. JusJustt debating BCM or DD. With my skill level I'd doubt I will notice the difference.
>>65152307that's only true in double gay states like california.im sure your state will adopt those laws next year though so gl
>>65152391with you current skill level you might not even notice a difference from your PSA. just get whichever one you think is cooler, they'll both work fine.
>>65152047Buy the Brownells Daniel Defense Block II or upper, drop a PRI BCG into it, and put a birdcage on it (pinned and welded of course), then throw it on your PSA lower.Buy a LaRue MBT-2S while you're at it.
>>65152414Stop talking
>>65152047Skip buying a full rifle, buy multiple lower receivers now so you're not limited to one AR15 forever. Then go out and over time buy the parts you need for whatever configuration you want to assemble.
>>65153218I should have specified, I'm just looking for an upper.
