American Tactical Alpha Maxx, 5.56X45MM, 7.50" Barrel, 60 Rds, Black - $319.99

Ahh the PLASTIC FANTASTIC shows up again
More plastic in this gun than your grandma had in her cupboards after a 1980's Tupperware party! Lol in all seriousness I would not ever buy one of these. Especially when there are so many companies pumping out budget friendly AR's for just a few bucks more. Everything about this gun is plastic including the trigger, hammer, upper and lower receivers, front rail, and so on...if you want a safe queen to sit and look at them this would probably fit that bill. But if you're someone who goes out and shoots often, out practicing drills, firing at high rates, runs a suppressor and want a gun that will last, id suggest looking elsewhere but if you are doing all the things I mentioned, you probably already know this.
This is solely my opinion and my experiences and if you want this gun or have a different opinion, that's just fine, that is your right. Just like it is my right to have my opinion. Good day!

Buy A Gun & Get A Free Outlier Backdraft Hunter Suppressor

Avoid Backdraft at all costs. Just canceled my two orders placed over 18 weeks ago. (Website still shows 8-12 week lead time.) Backdraft would not give me any useful update, timeframe, or expectation. basically told me to cancel or sit back and wait.

45% off CVLIFE 30" 34" Soft Rifle Case Gun Backpack, Double Rifle Backpack Gun Bag Gun Case Covert Bug Out Bag, with Lockable Zipper for Hunting Shooting w/code R2UFUWCC

I have the 34". Quality is fine, especially for the price, but know there are no single shoulder-strap attachment points and no side carry handle... to it's pretty much backpack or nothing. It's not a problem if it's the only bag you're carrying, but it becomes a problem if you're trying to lug multiples.

Kel-Tec PR57 5.7x28mm 4.64" Pistol Black 20rd - $249.99

It's under 14oz and very thin. Makes for a nice compact, simple carry gun with a 21rnd capacity. I have one and like it for what it is.

Kel-Tec PR57 5.7x28mm 4.64" Pistol Black 20rd - $249.99

I don't think there is any mechanical or tactical advantage to top load, but I don't think that is the point of this design. Considering the many restrictive states, counties, cities regarding magazines and appearances, I believe this design is an option to allow higher than 10 round counts for those buyers. As a defensive package in such a restricted location, I can understand carrying this as primary backed up with a 38 snub. Just my guess on this Kel-Tec product. My advice though would be to buy a bus ticket and move elsewhere. As an FFL holder I am absolutely disgusted by the obscene and endless laws I and my customers have to navigate. "Infringe" is an understatement.

Otter Creek Polonium 30 - $439.99 (Add to Cart for Best Price)

I did indeed do that and it wasn’t working. Also the $532 was a reduction from a higher price $589 IIRC when added to cart. Looks like this was fixed. Thanks for being a master of the obvious.
