So how many Black Rifles are, too much……

AR/M4 AR General Discussion

I started out last year wanting with all my heart a POF P-415……I ended up purchasing a Smith and Wesson M&P-15….Nice rifle by the way………Then around midyear I still had the itch for a POF……I talked to a friend of mine to see if he could order me one (He’s an FFL)….he tells me I can if you want, but do I have a deal for you……I can sell you a RRA National Match lower for what it cost me to get it (other fella backed out on him)………I told him I wanted the POF ordered in the event Obama won, figured it would be my last chance……

Still I’m not an idiot, I bought the lower……mama didn’t raise no fool….couldn’t pass the deal up……Well around Oct was when POF was to be in……to my disappointment no rifle……December rolls up and still no rifle……also at same time figure….what the heck, called buddy up again and asked if he could get me a Tactical Entry upper for my RRA lower…….First part of January my POF arrived……OH MY GOD, The rifle is a BAD TO THE BONE piece of equipment….some things in life you pay for and feel, this was how much?..this rifle is totally WOW and in my opinion worth every cent….and above all else, as they say 100% AMERICAN MADE……I laughed when my pal told me “Thanks”……asked him what for……”I’ve never seen a $2,000.00 AR before”……got the Recon model with added A2 Flash suppressor and flip up front and rear Troy sights……

Well this month my RRA Tactical Entry showed up……Now I have three count them three Black Rifles……WHOO HOOO……course I know get….you can’t shoot them all at once……sell me one……So I bring the question to the BRL’s (Black Rifle Lovers)……

SO HOW MANY BLACK RIFLES ARE, TOO MUCH…….

You can never have too many. Hell, I’ve got 3 stripped receivers just waiting to build, not to mention the stuff that’s already in one piece.

3

When I ask myself “how many more rifles will I build/ buy?” My answer is always just one more…

4

1 short , 1 medium and 1 long :smiley:

5

. . .and then, of course, a back up to each of those.
And one more of each in case you have poorly armed firends.
And a back up for each of those. . .

hahahah… you got to me first… I was expecting somebody to react with “ONLY???” .

7

My thoughts exactly!!

8

Remember, you are only one gun away from hapiness ALWAYS

Too many is when a sinkhole forms under your house.

10

If you KNOW how many you have, you don’t have enough! :smiley:

11

it better a very big hole

12

I thought I was set at 5 till I found a NIB 6920 for $1309 to the door last Saturday. Safe space is getting to a premium. 1-2 more long guns and stuff is going to have to start disappearing to make room.

13

I have 8 and am working a 9th right now and I have 2 stripped lowers. I can’t stop myself.

  1. 22lr, 1 9mm, 2 308’s, 4 .223’s.

Some of you guys are crazy! I have 5 M-forgeries and I feel completely good at that number. Maybe just one more, but thats it. Well, I really want one done in camo so that would be 7, but not one more… ever. Ya know what though, a long range set up may be nice to build, so I say for sure at number 8 I will stop forever. Actually, my wife asked about getting one duracoated in white and pink, so that would be the end all…last one ever… number 9.

Around here, you can tell the amateurs when they ask, “how many guns do you have?” Simplify the discussion by asking, “how many safes do you have?”

16

You buy one… get hooked. Then you if your married you have to turn into Batman or some type of secrete agent with either a batcave or eye scan room that only you know about. Then you buy more… than another one and you keep going. It never stops with just one.:smiley:

Is there such a thing as too many black rifles? The way I see it, guns are like money in the bank. Plus, they’ll only go up in value.

18

i see im not the only one with this problem. once i bought a black rifle, i decided i wanted to build another! ive already decided i want three builds, an 11.5 SBR, a 16in, and a 16in HBAR for a DMR style rifle. instead of having a complete back up rifle for each, im going to just keep lots of spare parts around.

ive given up on trying to arm friends though. if they cant buy their own high quality shit because theyd rather spend their money on alcohol and partying, then when the shtf i guess ill just be a one man army, or make new friends, because i dont have the money to arm all my friends, no the desire anymore.

they need to learn how to either party sober, or get hammered on someone elses alcohol :D.

i think im going to actually going to try and further reduce my arsenal of 3 rifles down to two, an SBR and a 16in DMR type rifle with a 1-4 power variable optic and 10in larue rail.

that pretty much covers the spectrum of any kind of shooting that ill ever need to do in florida.

I’ve asked the same question. I still don’t have an answer. For me it’s a good CQB type carbine, in my case a Defensive Edge Grail with Scout and T-1, a decent precision type like a Noveske with an NightForce and a shorter lightweight type with either a perm FH and 14.5 or SBR. Of course all are totally accessorized. And then double it.

I really think it depends on your level of infatuation, and your level of financial ability. Some are hoarders and will never have enough. I joke about 6 but have had more. My problem is I like to build them. Many times other than zeroing and function checking I’ll never fire them again. I either make a friend a deal, or deal and make a friend, and start over.

The 3 listed above are what I shoot. I could get by pretty well with a precision rig and a CQB type carbine and could use the Noveske for both purposes if needed. But I don’t want to and can afford not to. My other 3 are just sitting in the safe. I’ve got 2 kids and 3 nephews so will some day be down to one. About 20 years down the road when they are all grown and responsible. Until then, I will own several.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who does this, or thinks this way!!!
