    Hence the reason why the AR platform is soooooo popular.. it is modular..
    not because it is a black killing machine used by the military like many liberals claim.

    I think I have those in the 2nd hole of the adjustable stock.

    Everyone has their own want and needs.
    I don't "want" to ask the gov for permission to own something, nor am I willing to pay the fee to do it, and I don't "need" a real stock, because the Blade works just fine.

    And suppressors are just plain dumb.

    Suppressors are as dumb as someone's 37th firearm...not really necessary, but why not?? A suppressor is on my list of probably 2019 purchases.

    BTW, the 300 Blackout kit you posted has me debating whether a suppressor is dumber than a 38th firearm.

    Honestly, once I got my silencer, I'd recommend that be the firearm purchase right after your first centerfire rifle.

    I have a 16" .308 that fires from a firesnorting concussion stick to the tamest rifle just by spinning the can on.

    They act somewhat as a muzzlebrake and it's just not nearly as fatiguing to shoot a suppressed full caliber rifle, or to be next to someone that would have otherwise had a muzzlebrake.

    Before too many people get all panty-twisted, let me clarify that my "suppressors are dumb" comment was just me being an agitator.

    Some people act like they are the bestest things on earth and can't understand why anyone wouldn't want one.
    I just like to rile them up once in a while. It's sort of my thing - like commenting negatively about Chrysler products, or Dick's.

    I really do think that suppressors are silly, but that's me - I have no interest in them.
    To me, they are $700 barrel extensions that completely negate the purpose of an SBR, add weight, and offer no real benefit since I don't care that guns are loud.

    Buy a suppressor if you want. It's not my money.

    Shoot a match with one and you'll see why we use them.

    You can shoot them all you want. I won't ever "shoot a match", so what benefit is it to me? None.
    The negatives FAR outweigh the one positive - less noise - which is of no concern to me.

    I don't have a lift kit on my truck either, BTW. I have no use for it.

    None of that is dumb. AOC is dumb.

    Noise doesn’t bother you? Great, I’m bringing my fireworks over for the 4th.
