Rex's Total FNG Guide to Guns & FAQ

[CaptainHenreh]

5 years since posting, still one of the best things I've made on the internet.

I know some MMers are sniffing around buying their first firearms, so I'd give this thread a little bumpity bump.

Woah I didn't know this was a thread. I will not read it, I will not read it, I will not read it, I don't need to spend that kinda I don't need to spend that kinda money.

I'll buy the ammo anybody wanna take m shooting again? I think I'll just maintain friends with guns and only worry about purchasing ammo lol.

I can do that. Got a specific question?

[CaptainHenreh]

Done, lemme know if there's some question I missed.

Educate me (and others) on the parts and why ARs tend to be "built" vs. bought out of box.

:lol: :lol: Well played as always Rex

I would like to add though, any specific reason for the PSA hate? Or was that pointed at the parts deals in a "build yer own" scenario? My PSA premium mil spec rifle was like $900, included an Aimpoint PRO and has been rock solid reliable, accurate and actually shoots better / has had less failures to fire (ie 0 when using good mags) than my buddy's S&W AR

It's just, generally, not as good. While YOU got a good one, I know tons of people who weren't so fortunate. I'd put stuff like "radical" and a CDNN builds in there too, it's not just PSA hate. But PSA is the elephant in the room for flooding the market with sub-par components for noobs to build rifles off of, if you catch my drift.

I got you, that makes sense! Yeah at this point I've replaced or upgraded most of the furniture but all of the internals are still stock and it's a beast. The only FTF i've ever had was using a shitty bootleg "PMAG" I bought at the flea market :lol:

Rex, I saw a deal on the internet from PSA where I can get everything put together for like 400 dollars!
Please don't. Look, if I had to buy 10 rifles to arm my neighbors I'd maybe consider this. (probably not but maybe) In the end, you'll find yourself replacing barrels and bolt carriers and all kinds of shit, basically rebuilding the rifle to get something worth a damn. Do it right the first time, and you won't have any issues. Yes, this is money, but compared to *car* money, it's pennies.

He's right, you know.
