BLOWING $5,000 BIG ONeS!!

AR/M4 AR General Discussion
1

When it comes to all things gun, in the words of Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, “I’m a maniac, braniac, FANATIC for that!”

ALOT of penny pinching, and a FINAL bonus paycheck(from the job I quit to go to Tokyo) and I’m now at $5,000 big ones!!

My love affair with AR’s started with this beautiful specimen

I call it PERFECTION

I found this site about 8 months ago when I was researching my “DREAM GUN” now named PERFECTION and boy have I learned a lot…I read this forum almost on a daily basis! Fast forward to today!

I was saving and saving so that I could buy/build my very own PERFECTION , ALL IN ONE SHOT!! But something happened along the way… NOW I’m not so sure thats the way to go anymore… too much has changed, HIGH QUALITY AR’s are STUPID cheap now… and well BCM is always out of parts…

NOW instead of blowing my $5,000 on PERFECTION I have been agonizing over another route instead…

use my $5,000 in the following ways…

1. BCM MIDDY Complete $1300 - basically build piece by piece a complete BCM middy rifle. This will be my primary rifle, in other words I intend for this one to be my PERFECTION

2. DDM4v3 $1200 - actually the ONLY reason for buying this…Its so RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP, I feel as if I’d be stupid NOT to!! I mean, come on its amazing piece… plus EVERYTHING it comes with, for only $1200? BANANAS!!

3. DD 6.8 $1500 - I want to get into hunting…mainly deer hunting. From what I read, I believe 6.8 is what I would need… unless you guys know different… Or if the $1500 can be used for a different AR style hunting gun…

There you have it…

Input, opinion’s… What do yall think?

As I said, I start my Hunter safety course this Monday and I have 2 AR classes lined up in the summer… Ammo-wise, I’m aight… I have a little bit and I plan on doing a minimum of at least $50 EVERY month to stockpile some… Unfortunately I live in the city, and its NOT too AR friendly… I mean I have to drive 3-4 hours just to get to a range that will allow rifle shooting, i.e. .223, I have to drive an hour just to get to my Hunter Safety course… and as for my AR carbine class’s… its about 5-6 hour drive… fun, can’t wait for that one!!

So keeping that in mind… I’m NOT going to lie… these guns will mainly be TROPHY showpieces… wall hangers if you will…and generally I guess for when SHTF!! THo I do plan on having PERFECTION by my side during bedtime! wink!

gun show this weekend, so I hope I don’t blow any of that $5,000 tomorrow!! Just gotta tell myself, PERFECTION, PERFECTION, think of PERFECTION and her friends! :smiley:

Your input is appreciated!!

oh… I should add… I have a COMPLETELY brand new in the box, UNOPENED, ALMIGHTY COLT 6920 as well as a brand new AK-47 also…

In my head tho, the 6920 no longer exists NOW that I have been M4carbine.net educated… its definitely a keeper, bought it during the obama scare, when all those fools panicked and went on those guy buying binge’s… THANK YOU SUCKERS!! WINK! :wink:

First things first…

when it comes to all things gun…I AM…

Prodigy of Mobb DeeP said it best, " I’m a Maniac, brainiac fanatic for that"

KEEP IN MIND, this all started with a dream…

This is the dream…

I knew NOTHING about AR’s… but I did know that I wanted to OWN the EXACT gun shown above… That lust lead me to this site(almost 8 months ago now…) where I have been reading and reading and researching all things AR… I still have a lot to go and learn but I need to start somewhere right…

I still don’t have a job and YES, I’ve been actively searching and have been relentlessly on the job hunt…like bush going after “terrorists” I have been scraping and scraping pennies here and there for a year now and the job I quit to go to japan is like the job that keeps on giving, I got one last FINAL bonus check… that along with my penny scraping got me to $5000 BIG ONES!!

I AM READY TO BLOW THIS ALL AWAY!!

Before we begin, know this…

Ammo - I have some ammo, and I try to pick up at least $50 worth every month(I have an ammo piggybank now)…

Classes - I have signed up for 2 AR classes this summer… so hopefully that covers that somewhat or at least initially… and I start my hunter safety course this Monday…

now to my method of madness…

This is how I plan to blow my $5000…

1. BUILD a BCM complete…$1300(give or take right?) after months on this board I am sold on ALL things BCM… and the ONLY thing holding me back is that they never seem to be in stock or around… this will be my “PRIMARY” rifle… my pride and joy if you will, the one I plan to master… and ultimately build up to the IMAGE ABOVE…

2. DDM4v3 ($1200) - I can ONLY say WHY NOT? this gun is so DM ridiculously CHEAP!! I’d be a fool not to… I mean $1200 for ALL that you get on this… Madness I tell you, Madness, true I don’t really need it BUT at the price… hLL yeah!!

3. DD 6.8 ($1500??) - My deer steak obtainer… NO ONE answered my post asking about the AR-15, 6.8 and hunting… but from my knowledge as of now… I would like to use this gun to go DEER hunting…and I think its “cooL?” I mean I guess since I start Hunter saftey this Monday, I’ll know whats up by then…

So there you have it folks…

the BCM, to be my ULTIMATE dream rifle as shown above… the DDM4v3 as my…well just because its so DM cheap and so DM QUALITY… and the DD 6.8 as my HUNTING RIFLE…

So whats your take on it fella’s… ???

I am still new to AR’s and have NEVER even fired one before… OH before I forget I guess I should include the requisite info regarding my intended use for these guns…

HONESTLY… I’ll be the 1st to admit… they are probably going to just be GLORIOUS TROPHY WALL HANGER’s… I mean the 6.8 for hunting but thats like once a year in November… and I guess other then that… for when SHTF!!!

Before you crucify me, hear me out… I live in the city…and by that I mean a NON FRIENDLY AR-15 City…

I have to drive out like 3-4 hours just to get to a range that allows us to shoot .223, thats DEFINITELY a buzz killa!!

I mean for petes sake my hunter safety course is AN hour drive for me…

and my AR-15 courses are like a 6-7 hour drive…

FUN TIMES RIGHT? but hey i’m still down for it… NOW you know why I won’t be getting too much use out of these…

BUT hey, YOU never know when the king of England gets it in his head to come over here and start some sh%T!!

There is a GUN show tomorrow that I plan on hitting up… I figure even if I get all those I still have about a cool $1000 left to play with…

get at me dawgz

oh… I should add… I have a COMPLETELY brand new in the box, UNOPENED, ALMIGHTY COLT 6920 as well as a brand new AK-47 also…

I call BS.

throw a 7" rail and a acog on your 6920 and you got your dream gun

Will Smith, is that you?!?!

dude, first off, I can’t believe you actually quoted a rapper,
my advice for you would be this:

Eyes open, mouth closed. Surf the boards, absorb, read, read, and continue to read. No offense, but you still have a lot of growing to do.

And to answer your question, any of those would be a fine choice.

13

What hood did you come from? Are you the same dude that was complaining about how the popo are always harassing you for no reason?

14

WOW… $5000 for a weapon or weapons…

Not only could you probably buy a acog… you could probably get a nice little Noveske, Scar, LWRC, KAC SR, HK MR556, ACR to go with it. And then buy another upper that will fit on the lower of whatever you buy. Saves you from buying another full rifle. Just a idea or what id do…

15

I bet Shaggy 2 Dope approves of your acquisitions.

Use the money to buy a Bushmaster ACR

17

IMHO, your money could be better spent on 1 quality AR (Probably the DD or Colt 6940), a different 6.8SPC upper, ammo and mags for each caliber, and a good optic for each upper.

18

why 6.8 if you can get a precision 308 (hunting) and then quality AR 15 ? :confused:

19

d*m, this went SOUTH really quick…

In hindsight not really sure what I was hoping to achieve by posting this… Really tho, my post isn’t too different from the others out there, i.e. Help me Spend $2,000 or the always present How Many AR’s is too many, i.e. gfelbers post, https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=52360

I thought I was just putting a different twist on it…

Here’s the thing… I now (kinda) regret buying the 6920… its just that it was such a great deal at the time, $1200! This was during the gun buy hysteria where everyone went on an AR buying/stockpiling craze… Plus I had just barely found this site and didn’t know better, just knew that COLT was the standard… But now I know BCM, DD, Noveske, are ALSO TOP dogs…

NOw I say to myself… at the time, had I known about BCM, I would have gone that route… bought it and build it up as the I Am Legend rifle… and I would have been content(since thats where all this began) and would have probably most likely been done with that ONE rifle…

…maybe but who can say… I always loved guns and maybe that would have kicked it off even more… this stuff is MAD ADDICTIVE!!

but for now… I’m DEAD SET on buying 3 rifles…

I’m from where BCM is born and made… so I would LOVE to support the “little” guy’s and the more and more I see and read about it… I want a BCM!!! It doesn’t hurt that they are pretty much as good as the COLT standard…

In short, I will not use, or EVEN open my Colt 6920, at least not for a very long time… I’m definitely NOT going to sell it… I bought it since 1. its basically the standard and 2. come on man, its a piece of AMERICAN HISTORY BABY!! I see that rifle’s place as like a family heirloom… AGAIN i’m not gettin rid of it or using it in the foreseeable future…

Thats WHY I’m buying and building myself a complete BCM…IN my view its a KISS design… basic rifle, with a trijicon sight on it and a rail system with a flashlight/laser combo… <— For whatever reason thats just what I want… its not like its set in stone… I may find that once I have it set up that way… thats its not KOSHER and change it… who know’s… but thats my dream rifle vision for now…

as for the DDM4v3, I’ll say it again… thats ALOT of rifle for the dollar… I’d be stupid NOT to buy that… I go to my local gun shop and I can’t even buy a DPMS or OLY Arm’s for under $1400 and here I get ALL OF THAT for only $1200 and its HQ!!!

As for my third rifle purchase… Never been deer hunting or any kind of hunting before… but I want to go deer hunting this year, hence my Hunter safety course… I haven’t bought it yet… and I start class Monday… so maybe by then I’ll find out that 6.8 is NOT ACCEPTABLE for deer hunting… but as far i’m thiniking right now… I think it would be a dopeness to have an AR-15 as my deer hunting “rifle” …

So if all goes as planned I’d be at 4 AR-15’s…

1 colt 6920
1 BCM MIddy
1 DDM4v3
1 DD 6.8

BCM being my primary, DD as my backup, DD 6.8 my hunting rifle. and the COLT 6920, as my backup’s backup I guess… :smiley:

I hope this kinda clears up where I’m at with all this…

Chance Of A Lifetime, TOKYO, JAPAN HERE I COME!!
Greetings Comrad’s…

Yes I am still in the elusive hunt for my own “HOLY GRAIL”, i.e. my 1st AR… was actually on the verge of ordering my BCM, but as chance would have it… a different opportunity “has” arose…

Please stick to one story.
