It looked like a scene from World War Z when she was tackled and swarmed. No way to defend yourself from that other than not putting yourself in the situation to begin with. Clearly she thought that getting out to talk to those blocking the streets was a rational action. Clearly she was wrong.heresolonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461382067580153600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-55746050040998128692020-07-03T13:30:53.905-05:002020-07-03T13:30:53.905-05:00I just looked at Palmetto State Armory, probably t...I just looked at Palmetto State Armory, probably the largest purveyor of budget level ARs in the country.<br /><br />The lowest priced AR kit they have left in 5.56/.223 is $529.99. That's for a 20" 'Freedom Rifle' kit (think M16A4, minus the rails). That doesn't include the lower receiver or rear sights.<br /><br />I have a 16" 'M4gery' that I built from the same type of kit a year or so ago. The entire thing cost me lest them $350, including the lower and rear sight. The kit, IIRC, cost me $279.<br /><br />And PSA doesn't have a whole lot of kits in stock.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624457882192131051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-75021007846863338642020-07-03T02:06:14.688-05:002020-07-03T02:06:14.688-05:00@George: Try these three articles, in the order l...@George: Try these three articles, in the order listed.<br /><br />https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-much-ammunition-is-enough.html<br /><br />https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-personal-defense-rifle-part-3.html<br /><br />https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2020/05/revisiting-ammo-stash-question.html<br /><br />In general, for defensive purposes, look for hollow-point or soft-point ammunition, because it tends to stay in the body of the target better than non-expanding ammunition, transferring more energy and not over-penetrating to pose a danger to other innocent parties nearby.<br />Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595089829300831372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-29894502395483984052020-07-02T21:40:43.189-05:002020-07-02T21:40:43.189-05:00Two questions from a newbie.

I'm wanting to replace it with a post-2005 Mini-14.
