never a better time to be a gun owner...unless you live in california.
I do
or Mass
veekman762 agree. i live in Mass and laughed when they said there are too many ARs out there...i wish
veekman762 or nj...
I honestly would pack up and leave everything behind if I lived in CA. I wouldn't be able to live with their anti-gun laws. Same for Massachusetts, Connecticut, Chicago, Hawaii, D.C, Colorado, N.Y or New Jersey. I live in Rhode Island which is bad enough with all NFA items being against the law to own. I will move to FL, GA or SC in a flash if any of the surrounding anti-gun states that surround RI try spreading their liberal bullshit such as low magazine capacities or "assault weapons" bans. Fuck that!
Best gun channel on youtube, i have been watching for years now.
Greetings from New Zealand.
i'm in the UK using shotguns and airguns but have applied for my FAC ticket (full bore). these videos are an inspiration and education, I fully support the gun industry, so thank you for the push to spread the word on gun ownership here in the UK!
Another great video as always, guys. We are a small gun store and we are seeing alot of the things you are talking about, first hand. Thanks again for posting!
Love these gun gripe episodes so informative. THANK YOU Chad and Eric...
I use these vids as a podcast on the way to work. The amount of knowledge ive gained from listening to you guys is immense. Great vid guys keep it up
Just wanted to add my support for what guys do. Been watching your channel for a little over a year now and really look forward to what new reviews, gunsmithing, reloading, top 5s, etc...also you guys are great salesmen because there's a few guns I would have never thought twice about getting (Martini, k31, m39, and it goes on) that I now own or is on the list to buy because I love the history behind each one and you all introduced metro them so thanks for spending my money. Keep doing what your doing! You guys are great!
SS17 finest you may have missed so far: Umarex Gauntlet .50 Air Rifle; Chromatra, front-mounted, colour NV attachment; Barrett's Fieldcraft Bolt Action Repeater Rifle and 240LW; SG 751P SAPR in 7.62 x 51 NATO (not at SS17 but new). Plenty of other honourable mentions as well. I like the way Sig Sauer, Kalashnikov USA and Steyr are innovating at the moment. There should be a way us foreign gun enthusiasts can adopt a weapon overseas for our own range use when visiting the states.
You guys brought it up in this video, so I just wanted to say something here. I found your channel probably 4 or 5 years ago and have watched pretty much every video since. Even if i don't find the topic interesting or informative (which is very rare anyway) I will still watch so you guys get my view. I have bought a man can in the past also. I am not looking for thanks or anything like that, I just wanted to say you guys put out exceptional content, and I am very thankful for it. I have learned so much from you guys over the years, and have been entertained the whole time. You are by far my favorite CZcams channel, and I always look forward to seeing what you guys do next. I can't really express how much I love your videos. Thank you for always putting out top notch content and keeping us laughing and learning as you do.
I just seen in a magazine the other day that Remington is now entering the AR market! If any company could screw up an AR, it's them!
They already made AR's but for the military/police market only. adsinc.com/product/remington-r4-rifles-and-carbines/
Shows how elitist they are when they won't even offer a rifle to the public that hundreds of other companies have been doing for decades now.
I've been watching you guys since at least 2008 - 09. Yours are the videos I look forward to the most because they are the most informative, and in depth. The content is always fresh, and we'll produced.
And I'm pretty sure Chad is one of my cousin's doppelgänger.
Working for a small shop in FL, we have had more reps through our door in the last week than in the last 6 months trying to get us to pick up new lines, buy more product, and on the retailer side, there are quite a few discounts and lots of incentives ramping up trying to get product moving.
I listen to your guys videos on the road all the time. I'm a truck driver and you guys help the time go by a bit faster
I think you guys are doing a great job at keeping the awareness of all the current events going on in the 2nd amendment world, keep up the great work! You guys even motivated me to just give in and buy my first suppressor, I hope to continue watching your videos for many years to come!
Funny how quickly things change
You know in a decade or two we will look back at this time of $500 ARs like we look back at the $50 Mosins or the $75 SKSs and such.
I've been with you guys since the very first gun tour, rip Barry. keep up the great work!!
I had a salesman tell me the truth , he said people are buying what they want now. Not what they feel like they have to buy , before they can't.
Probably the best show on tube about firearms. The man can has been an awesome gift I've given for Xmas. The episode about the Mosin trigger was totally spot on answer easy to follow. Keep up the good work people.
I could watch Gun Gripes EVERYDAY!
Gun gripes are honestly my favorite style of video you guys do
The point about a lack of real innovation is spot on! It would be nice to see something new. I love gun gripes
It is not just the manufacturers but also the wholesalers and retailers (your local gun shop).
Eric and Chad you are making some great points. The manufacturers have shot themselves in the foot a number of times. Quality of manufacture is a big one, over production is another, and producing models that buyers want but were discontinued years ago. I can see the lower price end AR's, with improvement after market parts, might be an area of the market will offer buyers a great bargain. When you can purchase a complete rifle/carbine for less than the price of the upper alone is a no brainer. When you can buy a complete lower and upper for a price lower than a complete rifle/carbine in the configuration you want, again it is a no brainer. Shop the market, and when you find something you want, at a price you can't walk away from, go ahead, purchase it and don't look back. Right now the market is so crazy with prices coming down, that I never thought I would see it. Particularly when many of the companies were bought up by conglomerates and, as you pointed out, some of the brands and designs have been shelved.
Kel-Tec has been the shining example of innovation in the gun industry. Usually a given website overshoots on msrp what the consumer actually pays. It is the opposite for Kel-tec for a reason.
You nailed it re: The Ruger Precision Rifle, yeah, it had teething problems. Ruger did right by the owners and fixed the issues. Contrast that with Remington and the R51 and how they handled it initially.
true
Love tikka t3x. Just picked up a .308 stainless lite. Glad to hear someone speak well of it, makes me feel better about the purchase.
Love your videos, and I really appreciate your views and opinions. Thank you guys so much. I came for the stress tests but stayed because of all the great gun knowledge. Keep making videos and I'll keep watching them.
first time I haven't listened to an entire gun gripe episode.
One thing I think you forgot is gun store employees have gotten used to the guns selling themselves. So many of them stopped offering good customer service because they were too busy writing up sale after sale. Now when I walk into many of my local gun stores the service is horrible. You would think the opposite should be true but it is not what I have experienced here in the Phoenix area. I have already bought three guns in 2017 and did a LOT of shopping around and many gun stores I will never return to because they flat out ignored me.
X Here in Australia cant have a semi auto unless your a primary producer.
Had a good look at a heap of different guns.
Remington was high at first 7615 i think pump action 223.
$2500 what a piece of rubbish quality sucks many guys having issues with extractor claws
I ended up buying a Lithgow crossfire 102 in 308win. Great for long distance. $1300
Bought an Adler 12g lever action 5 in tube 1 in breach =6 $850
Had a good look at lever actions in Marlin Winchester the Brazilian guns and others.
I settled on the Henry Big Boy Steel 44mag 20" barrel quality is about the best ive seen on any gun.
Great close quarters gun in the brush i must say its now my favourite. For us double the USA price at $1650
In the old days before the semi auto ban i owned a Swedish Ljungman AG42b best shooting gun i have owned 6.5mm
I don't know how you're not psyched for that new colt cobra. It's a quality, small, 6- shot revolver. It fills a whole in the market that hasn't been properly filled in a long time. I think in the future they'll be classics like the old ones are to us.
I took advantage of the low prices of the firearm market by building another intermediate range ar15, which of course needed opitics and a couple of other products that I use on every build. But when it came to stagnation in the market, your point of inovative ideas with the example of the Colt Python is spot on. Bring something hard to get at an affordable price point and sell more than you can imagine. I have always wanted an FN SCAR. The reliability and unique look of the rifle is great. When I had the $2500, I never saw them or would see them for higher, crazier prices. If FN came out with a affordable budget version of the 17 or 16 and ramped up production, they would sell them as fast as they could produce them.
The brand new Springfield AR is an absolute beauty. Little on the expensive side, typical of Springfield but it's a fantastic gun
not in cali.... we still need help out here...... the AR'S out here look ridiculous.
Another California resident here and yes, this is killing me. So many good deals out there, so many cool new guns and all I can do is watch.
Now they are going after the gun ranges and mom and pop gun stores, putting crazy restrictions on them that will cost them thousands of dollars to comply with.
I'm done, I'm headed to Texas as soon as I can.
I really enjoy all of your videos. I always do a lot of research before I buy any firearm and I like your honesty about your reviews. I work at classic firearms in Monroe a day I have watched videos on how to work on Mosin's which has helped me a lot. If anyone has a problem with one they usually bring it to me to troubleshoot and fix. Thanks guys keep up the good work.
Been with you guys since the early Barry & Eric days.. I watch every video and Love seeing what you guys are up to... Keep up the good work!!
Chad Savage has made big strides this year for long range precision with quality..I know theres a stigma to Savage as a "beginner" rifle but man they keep impressing me with their value and accuracy
Saving up for a 10mm handgun at the moment. Should have it next paycheck giddy like a little girl and cant wait.
I've actually increased my gun and ammo buying, some really nice sales going on right now. AR-556 for 499, Ruger LCRx 339, HK USPc 9 for 550 not to mention all the ammo.
While getting my.production/ operation management deg We called that The Beer Game ! in the lean manufacturing classes.
Chad's Remington 700 is awesome.
That Rick Grimes Python idea is genius.
definitely a buyer's market I bought 2 dpms oracles for $300 a piece! sure I had the gas block fall off but it was fun to learn to fix it. I bought 2 plastic lowers not knowing the future and I can't build them for cheaper than these oracles! thanks guys
I will do my part during this buyers market, and expand my collection as fast as my budget will allow. Thank you.
You should defenitly get a tikka!! My tikka t3 lite in 270 win shoots 100yrd groups so tight I can cover them with my thumb nail and the build quality is exceptional
Matthew Mccullen mine is the same way with 135gr sierra matchkings. 140gr gamekings handloaded will give me consistent 3/4" groups. one of the best rifles for the money.
I use norma ammo loaded with the 110 vmax. I also have a ASE UTRA jet z suppressor on the gun
Regarding Colt, they recently had a couple of their gunsmiths retire. It has taken a while to replace them and get the replacements up to speed. As I understand it, that process is working out so they are getting back to a full employment complement. I hope your wishes for the return of top-end guns become reality in the near future.
meanwhile in MA everything still sucks.
I've been big into guns since I was born. I turn 18 in two months, and couldn't be happier. This is the best time that I could have turned the legal age. I'm trying to move money around so that I can buy as much as I can.
I don’t think so I’d rather be 18 before the fullauto ban Maby 79-81 and u could buy real surplus arms or when bannermans was around and u could buy cheap cannons etc. if I could go back in time I’d know very well how to invest and at what time
I don't comment often, but I've been watching since the early days of the channel. I always look forward to your videos, keep up the good work guys.
thank you guys for both your service and the great chanel.
My biggest concern with the Hearing Protection Act is that our benevolent government might think that it's such a good idea that they'll make it mandatory for all firearms.
Been watching you video for years just never commented. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work.
the only possitive is that days before the ban in Massachusetts went in to effect (we had about a week notice) all the local stores sold dozens. even the small shop near my house sold 75 in 2 days...
thank you guys for all y'all do
always a pleasure brother, keep up with the good content
If the next year or two will be an excellent time to start getting into firearms of ALL sorts, how about some videos (or short video series) of how to start, what steps to take next, how to move from 'entry level' to 'more experienced' to 'advanced' to 'expert' as owners and operators, etc. You could do a couple of shows each on hand guns, rifles, shotguns, etc. Something like (JUST for example):
22LR (beginner): What's a good 'basic' 22 long rifle? What to expect, how to maintain/shoot, where to practice, what kinds of hunting is allowed/appropriate, ammo to look for, etc.
22LR (intermediate): What're some 'fancier' 22LR guns ('take-downs,' higher-accuracy guns, more specialized models, etc), basic shooting competitions, some basic 'prepper' uses, some common accessories (basic scopes, suppressors, extended mags), more specialized ammo (low velocity, tracers, etc).
22LR (advanced): What are some 'high-end' 22LR guns (are there such things?), serious competitive shooting, high-end scopes and accessories, specialized stocks, triggers, etc, more 'extreme' survivalist strategies, collectible models, etc.
You could do 3-4 videos each for several types of firearms: AR-15, milsurps, carry guns, other handguns, shotguns, 22LR, etc. but all designed to help shooters from starting out going on up to expert to take advantage of the current market.
So far I haven't seen any 2A progress... Saigas and surplus Russian and Chinese firearms are still banned... lift these bans as a start. Canadians can still get a $300 Russian SKS or an SVT40, and they can still get Chinese surplus ammo! WTF
great video guys I agree. u guys are great I'm kinda on my own here in PA. when you guys put out a video its like a couple of old friends stopping by for a beer n bs session. thank you.
You guys are the best gun channel on the tube!
Bring jobs back in the USA! Support made in America! Halt all immigration and foreign worker visas. American jobs for Americans!
Barry would be proud of what this channel has evolved into.
There is absolutely no need to fear a confiscation, ammo restrictions and extremely vague gun laws, visa vi the recent federal court ruling, that's where the attention should be.
I bought a walther p22 once. Federal ammo would not cycle the gun, and both the federal and the Remington thunderbolt would cause hot bits of something to come out of the ejection port and burn my hands.
Dam, I am missing Berry more and more...............
I bought my first ar-15 at 18 (3 or 4 years ago) it was the down swing of the scare and I spent $800 on a bare bones basic windham weaponry. I LOVE the rifle, but I wish I waited a few years.
Great gripe! Right up there with "Revolver Etiquette!"
Colt also dropped all its handguns from the California market which now made the standard 1911 45 acp around 1000-1500 dollars and the 38 supers are $2000 and up
Nothing beats a good price for a quality product.
922R compliance needs to kick the bucket. Giving foreign manufacturers a chance to sell at reasonable prices would definitely help inspire domestic manufacturers... And an AK-74 from Kalashnikov for ~$500 would be nice too.
i'm so glad you guys are going to make firearms facts again!
Thanks for the awesome video. Greetings from a long time viewer from the Netherlands!
Love the videos. Please keep them coming. Sometime i get on the computer and there are 3 more videos since last night. Love you guys keep them come.
My budget is really small, so I'm piecing mine together. I bought an aluminum lower receiver for $25, now just waiting for the other parts prices to drop.
I watched a Mr. Geissele video about how to install a Geissele trigger. This video was made in 2011 when the trigger was $170. Now the price is $240 which is a price increase of 41%. I would buy the trigger at $170, but not at $240.
My problem with any NFA item is the ATF thinks they can just change the law anytime. it is too volatile
.
I turned 18 in February of 2013.
RIGHT in the middle of firearmageddon
3 months after sandy hook. I needed up buying an SKS when I graduated and turned it tactical because I couldn't afford a $900 basic AR.
Now I've been buying revolvers, and other things not on the scary market because I already have an ar15, ar10, AK47, SKS and all the scary high capacity magazines. Now I just want cool stuff because o already bought all the tactical stuff during the gun scare
"Everybody makes an AR". The market is full of ARs. Back in the 1971 G&A Annual there was an article with the statement that the M16/AR15 was to expensive to make and that it would go the way of the dodo bird. I guess that author was wrong.
You're right about accessories, my PTR91 GI is now way past the price point I started out with, lol.
Nice to see prices getting back to a common sense level. Looks like a good time to add to my inventory.
I haven't been hitting that quality control problem, but I think that is due to the fact that I only go for vintage guns.
Just bought a Tikka T3x compact tactical. Love it.
Just want to say for Chad, if your are willing to have your aac rifle rebarreled you should have it accurized, I wound suggest LongRifles Inc, but there are others that can do a good job. It takes Remington only 12 minutes to make a receiver, so it's really amazing they work at all. But there is definitely room for improvement.
Deals are crazy right now! A few local gun stores are stickign to their pre-election prices, but they won't be able to hold out for long! It is a good time to buy that _______ you've been keeping your eye on! Especially black rifles, larger magazines, suppressors, etc.
RIGHT ON GUY'S !! THANKS !!
Kudos to Springfield Armory. Just got the EMP4 CCC it is an awesome firearm!
I am looking at buying 6 guns in the next three months, So thank you for taking this country for granted saving me huge amount of money
Well done Gents. Thank again for a great vid.
Thank you!!! guys for your hard work!!!! Keep it up
After I got my tax return I have been trying to restrain myself from buying guns left and right... I'm like... Do I really NNNNEEED that new gun? LOL!
Yeah, I've been watching you guys for several years now. I love the gun gripes because ya'll always seem to hit up on current, pertinent, issues. Keep up the good work! Even though I might rag on you guys occasionally when I have a difference of opinion I am still a fan and think that your an important part of the 2A lifestyle! I ain't a total troll all the time! lol
the P90-SD is so under appreciated
We're seeing the same thing in other industries, I think it's simple economics. Trump is going to destroy the economy for anyone who isn't super rich, and everyone knows that.
Buy low and sell high. Nows the time to buy. During the ammo and gun ban scares prices were sky high from frantic buying and manufacturers capitalizing on the opportunity to make massive profits.
This is exactly why I lost my job with Freedom Munitions...along with a hundred other employees.
It would be awesome if you would regularly change the guns out on the wall behind you. I enjoy checking them out while listening and would love to see more.
Pass the HPA, remove suppressors from NFA, Lift the import ban on firearms and ammo. That in itself would help the Firearm market.
Great video. Always putting out awesome content.
