Hey - just joined recently. Already bought a rifle from someone on here. Great experience!
I'm a hunter and fisherman and lived in this state for about 47 of my 50 years. I know my way around guns just enough. Have had my CPL since I was 21.
I joined because my 3 oldest boys (I have 8 kids total - 5 adopted from foster care) and I are just starting to get into AR type rifles as a hobby. I'm kicking things off by getting the first gun to start learning the platform. Got an Aero M5 308 (so I can also hunt with it) and plan to pick up a few more in the next few weeks.
When I say we are just starting - we are complete noobs when it comes to ARs. So we are watching videos and doing some learning. But there is a lot of jargon we are still struggling with. But each day it gets a little easier. (just learned today what FDE and BCG mean...)
Anyway, here are some questions perhaps someone can help with:
1) Where can we find the best deals on ammo these days? 308 mainly. 223 will come later.
2) What ammo should I get or avoid? Can my M5 shot any old 308? Is there a less expensive plinking ammo I can use vs my hunting ammo?
3) I'm considering a suppressor. Is it still like a year long process? Cost? No idea where to start...
Thanks for any help!
