If you’re living in Oregon they just passed ballot measure 114, which means that you can’t have magazines with more than 10rds after a specific date, and also that the cops (Like the notoriously fascist Portland Police Bureau) get to decide who can and cannot own a gun.
But there’s a loophole; Get your magazines before 114 goes in to effect and you can keep them, although you are required to prove that you bought them before the day of doom.
So if you might every want to get an AR, or just feel like it, it might be worth it to pick up a bunch of mags now and box them up with the receipt just in case.
Ok now which AR do I get
Assuming this is a serious question, it depends on your budget. ~$500 can get you a decent entry-level AR. The ARs in the $600-800 range are probably worth the extra couple hundred. Anything above that is out of my price range and interest lol.
What do you like in that $600-800 range? Ideally it would fit those mags I bought
The mags will fit in any AR-15 and then some.
IWI Z-15 is a good value (rifle, pistol, click the Email For Price button to see actual price). I like mine. Ruger MPR is another common recommendation, but I haven’t tried one myself.
Another option is getting an upper kit + lower kit and slapping them together. The upper kit can be shipped to your front door (in most states at least), but the lower kit has to be sent to an FFL like any gun.
If the one you get doesn’t come with iron sights, you’ll want to budget 50-100 for optics too.
building one is generally gonna get you a nicer rifle for cheaper, and is not too complicated with some fairly standard tooling. happy to offer more thoughts. aero rifles are probably the bare minimum “prebuilt” options
It’s absolutely better.
Prebuilt AR’s have massive profit margins.
There’s no reality where this is true. I’m happy to list out parts for anyone. And it enables you to pick the best parts from different manufacturers. Something that merely buying DD or G#eselle or similar does not enable. Learn to build AR’s comrades.
So how am I supposed to prove I owned magazines before the law passed? New magazines panic-bought in response to the law? Easy. But what if you’ve owned standard capacity magazines for years and years and never kept the receipt because who even keeps receipts for a $7 box with a spring in it?
Oregon liberals really gave the cops this much power over them, even after the 2020 protests…
for the love of Eugene Stoner get gen 3 pmags 🙏
