The Truth About the AR-15 For Sale

May 26, 2014 | 0 Comments

The AR-15 for Sale

The AR-15, or “America’s gun”, is the most popular gun in the U. S.. The AR-15 is a semi-automatic rifle meaning each time you pull the trigger one shot is fired. AR-15 is not an acronym for the assault rifle, it is an acronym for ArmaLite Rifle Model 15 referring to its original manufacturer, ArmaLite. The AR 15 for sale was not available until 1963.

In 1959, ArmaLite sold its AR 15 design to Colt, who modified it and sold it as the M-16 rifle. In 1963 when Colt developed the civilian semi-automatic version of the M-16 rifle to the public it was called the AR 15. Technically, only the Colt product is an AR-15 though variants of the firearm are produced by various manufacturers.

AR-15 Specs

The AR-15 style of rifles’ extreme popularity is mainly due to its versatility. Before the AR15, shooters would have a separate gun for every purpose. The AR-15 for sale changed this necessity for an individual gun for each purpose. It is easily customized with parts and accessories allowing the user to customize the AR15 to the degree of choice, allowing one gun to be used for different uses.

While versatility is the top reason for its popularity, the AR15 is also reliable, accurate, light-weight, and easy to shoot. All are reasons why the AR 15 for sale is popular not only with civilians, but law enforcement and security personnel.

Gas Piston Systems

The AR is available with a gas piston system, or the direct impingement system (DI/DGI). There are pros and cons to both systems, and selection is a matter of individual preference. Gas piston systems operate cleaner and cooler, providing a longer service life and less breakage from heat, wear and tear. This is in part related to the systems need for less lubrication, keeping in mind lubrication attracts more grit and grime which contributes to wear.

Gas piston systems are the more reliable of the two systems, especially when chambered with 5.56 NATO in short barrel receivers. In general, the gas piston system will run a wider variety of ammunition with fewer problems than the direct impingement system. Proprietary gas piston systems aside, other components of the AR-15 for sale in general among major manufacturers are MIL-SPEC, and will interchange with the direct impingement system variant weapons.

The largest con to using a proprietary gas piston system is the fact it is may not be user friendly. That means when it needs repair or an upgrade, you will have to send it back to the manufacturer. The other cons to a gas piston system is it will increase the gun’s weight and the current limited availability of the AR-15 for sale with gas piston systems. The gas piston not only increases the gun’s weight, but the barrel is thicker to compensate for the increased torque of the gas piston system.

Direct Impingement System

The greatest advantage of the direct impingement (DGI) gas operated system is its user friendly status. If you have a working knowledge of guns, this system provides a wider availability of parts for do-it-yourself gun owners. The DGI system also has the advantage of being lighter, as it lacks the piston and the need for a heavier barrel.

The main disadvantage of the DGI system is the limit of ammunition. Another disadvantage is, due to its cycling action, it contributes to a dirty gun. It simply requires more cleaning and maintenance than a gas piston system.

May 23, 2014 | 0 Comments

Tips for First Time AK47 Buyers

There have been more guns produced among the AK47 for sale than any other modern small arms in the world. It has been estimated to account for one out of every five guns worldwide. The enduring AK has earned the reputation of extreme reliable weapon under the worst of conditions. If you are shopping for your first AK-47, the following information can assist you.

Receivers

There are two types of receivers available for the AK47 for sale: milled and stamped. A milled AK receiver is going to cost more than a stamped model with the stamped model being one of the most affordable rifles available and is just as serviceable as the milled version. The main difference you will note is that the milled version provides a smoother action.

Milled

A milled receiver begins with a solid block of steel and is machined repeatedly through various stages until the finished monobloc receiver is complete. The milled receiver receives extensive and precise machining, and it is this extensive millwork that makes a milled AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped.

Stamped

Stamped receivers begin with a flat sheet of steel and are then formed by the process of precision bending until the receiver is complete. The final components are added, spot welding is provided, and the heavy rivets are inserted that are the hallmark of the stamped AK47 receiver.

Wood or Synthetic Furniture

The buttstock, pistol grip, and hand guards of the AK-47 for sale are available in wood or synthetic. You also have the option of exchanging wood furniture for synthetic for different uses. Folding stocks are also available in the form of under folds, right side folds, and left side folds. You can also have an AR style collapsible buttstock. Check with your state to ensure your preferred selection is legal before you buy.

AK-47 Accessories

If you plan to use a scope, select a model with a scope mount. If you are not familiar with the mounting of a scope, elect to either buy a model of the AK-47 for sale that includes a scope or have a gunsmith to install one for you. The accessories available for the AK-47 for sale continues to grow. Just keep in mind the added weight of accessories. You may elect to order a lighter weight model to assist you in reducing the weight of the accessories you plan to add.

Calibers

Many people associate the AK47 with a 7.62 x 39. The AK is actually available in several calibers. Those firing the less costly ammo are the 7.62 × 39 or 5.45 × 39. If you want a long range AK select the .308 Win or the 7.62 × 54. If you already have an AR-15 in 5.56 mm, selecting an AK-47 for sale in 5.56 can provide the convenience of using the same ammo.

GrabAGun offers a wide selection of AK-47 accessories and AK-47 parts, as well as the AK47 for sale in numerous brands and configurations. If you fail to find the specific model you seek, give our knowledgeable customer service agents a call, we will be happy to help you.

.22 Rifles: What to Know Before You Buy

May 22, 2014 | 0 Comments

There are .22 rifles in almost every collector’s inventory, every hunter’s safe, and every rancher’s closet. You find them slung on the backs or in the packs of backpackers headed for a camp and a little time away from the hustle and bustle of city life. They are displayed in the rear windows of pickup trucks (where it’s still legal). These guns find their way in wrapping paper and bows at Christmas and on birthdays. The .22 is one of the most popular classic rifles that exist.

The Popularity of the .22 Rifle

For a great many of gun owners, there are warm memories of youthful days with a .22 rifle. By today’s standards, its rimfire technology is obsolete. Yet it maintains a large fan base, and that number is growing both on and off the practice range, despite the difficulty in obtaining ammunition in some regions. Typically, gun shops sell out within minutes of receiving their latest shipment of .22 amm0 for sale.

Low Cost

The .22 rifles are made by a large number of manufacturers and almost any budget can find a good .22 caliber within their range. The popularity of the weapon and its increasing number among gun sales ensures its continued availability.

There are several reasons for the increasing number of gun sales among the .22, and one of those is due to the relatively low cost of the .22 cal. rifle, and its low cost ammo. A full day of practice is affordable if you’re using the .22 cartridge.

No Recoil

The next reason for its popularity is because the .22 rifle is a quiet shooter and has hardly any recoil to speak of. You can shoot the .22 without the fatigue and pain that comes from other guns.

Its light weight is another reason for its popularity, some more so than others. They are easily carried in a hand, on a sling, in rifle scabbards on trail horses and four wheelers, and many backpackers carry the youth rifle in their backpacks.

Reliability

Yet another reason for the guns popularity is because generally .22 rifles are very reliable and accurate weapons. There are those who will debate its accuracy, but in 49 years of shooting I have only fired one .22 rifle that wasn’t center target accurate, and I have fired a lot of .22 rifles of almost every brand.

Those who debate its accuracy also debate its range. It is only common sense that a small caliber rifle has a shorter range than larger caliber weapons. Though many may not like to admit it, accuracy has as much to do with the shooter as the alignment of your sights.

Range

As for range, every gun has its niche. Distance is one of those choices that you select a particular gun for. You don’t jump into gun sales without having an idea of the purpose. Know the range you expect to get out of it before you buy. If you know you will use the rifle for hunting moose or deer at potentially long range across a field, buy a 30-06 rather than a .22 cal. for example.

Buy Your .22 Rifle From GrabAGun

The .22 rifle for sale is a generally reasonably priced gun, some of them are just flat out cheap to buy compared to other rifles for sale, they are cheap to shoot, and are many peoples preferred small game gun. Overall, it is just plain fun to shoot. The .22 caliber rifle maintains its place and purpose among the rifles for sale and I don’t see that fading any time soon. After all, it has been around for 169 years and it is still going strong. GrabAGun offers a wide variety of .22 rifles. Curious about our top models?

.357 Magnum Guns For Sale

May 15, 2014 | 0 Comments

The .357 revolver cartridge debuted on the firearms scene back in 1935 when it was first introduced by gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson. Based upon the .38 Special cartridge, the .357 became the first Magnum cartridge, and was introduced as the world’s most powerful handgun among guns for sale at the time.

For 20 years, it was the only Magnum. Eventually, the .44 Magnum and the 9mm surpassed the .357 caliber . Nevertheless, it remains popular today for its stopping power and reliability.

History of .357

The Gangster activity of the prohibition era spawned the use of early bulletproof vests, which defeated any pistol ammunition of the time. Until the development of the .357 Magnum. The .357 was born out of law enforcement’s need for an advantage over the criminal element.

The Colt .38 Super Automatic was the first pistol ammo that was able to penetrate the car doors and ballistic vests that the gangsters and bootleggers used for cover. The .357 was developed by extending the .38 Super Automatic casing by 1/8 inch allowing room for additional powder. This extension allowed it to be used in rifles and it became known as a dual use round.

.357 Magnum Pistols

The .357 Magnum pistols, and later the .44 Magnum’s, popularity declined with the development of smaller guns chambered in 9mm using smokeless powder. This was due to the 9mm abilities to produce a higher velocity in a smaller cartridge, providing smaller and lighter guns for modern guns for sale.

The .357 IMI Desert Eagle was the first semi-automatic pistol to fire the .357 Magnum cartridge. Today’s law enforcement often use the .357 pistols as a backup weapon, but not as their primary. The .357 remain popular guns for sale among many citizens for self-protection, security jobs and sports.

The .357 SIG, developed in 1994, was designed to mimic the performance of 125 grains .357 Magnum loads fired from 4 inch barreled revolvers in a cartridge designed for semi-automatic pistols. It performs very closely to the .357 Magnum but, in a semi-automatic, it provides an increased capacity. The Texas Highway Patrol became the first government agencies to use the .357 SIG cartridge in 1995. Today many government agencies and law enforcement officers use the .357 SIG caliber.

A Great Caliber for Self-Defense

The .357 Magnum makes an effective self-defense pistol. While there are other handguns with an even greater impact in these factors, the .357 remains more than adequate. The fact that it produces less recoil than other more powerful handguns may be an advantage for those shooters who have difficulty maintaining accuracy with recoil. For these shooters, the .357 pistols can provide ample stopping power in a handgun they are able to control.

GrabAGun offers an extensive selection of guns for sale and includes the .357 Magnum revolver and the .357 Sig semi-automatics.

Shotguns 101: Info On Shotguns For Sale

May 12, 2014 | 0 Comments

Buying your first shotgun? When you’re shopping for a shotgun for hunting, clays, skeet shooting, home protection, or competition matches; GrabAGun has the shotgun you seek. We offer a large selection of quality brands of shotguns, as well as other guns for sale. This guide will assist first time buyers in understanding the basics of shotguns.

Shotgun Types

Single Shot Shotguns

Single shot shotguns are typically the least expensive but only hold one shell at a time. To fire again, you must to open the breach and insert a new shell. Despite the inconvenience, they are a functional tool for many tasks. For a beginner, a single action is a good selection as it provides ample practice with loading and unloading and time to learn to aim. Single-shot shotguns are very affordable and reliable. They are one of the two most common of guns for sale purchased for beginners.

Pump-Action Shotguns

Pump-action shotguns are the most common and most are of low cost and high reliability. After each shot, you must pump the forend to eject the spent shell and load another from the magazine tube into the chamber.

Semi-Automatic Shotguns

Semi-auto shotguns enable you to fire a round by simply pulling the trigger. An increasing number of models and brands now feature the latest technology for increased comfort, accuracy, and reliability. The advantages of the advanced technology are helping semi-automatics rise in popularity among guns for sale.

Double Barrel Shotguns

Double barrel shotguns come in two varieties: over-under (O/U) and side-by-side. Over-Under shotguns have one barrel above the other and the side-by–side shotguns have the barrels horizontally.

Shotgun Barrels

Barrel length affects the handling capabilities of the shotgun and the ability to aim the shotgun accurately. Longer barrels swing more smoothly and are more accurate with a longer range. Shorter barrels are both easier to maneuver in restricted spaces and are quicker to point; they are considered better for combat or home protection, and are used by law enforcement in tactical form. A shorter barrel will produce more flash and noise.

Chokes

A choke tube is mounted at the end of the barrel and provides the function of constricting the diameter of the muzzle to create a tighter shot pattern. It maintains a dense enough pattern to engage your target. There are many sizes of chokes, including those that are adjustable for different patterns without having to change the choke. The choke size determines how wide the pellet spread will be. Wider patterns allow for greater aim error, but it limits the range.

Chokes are fixed or screw-in. Fixed chokes are part of the barrel design and require a gunsmith to change or remove. Screw-in choke insert into the end of a threaded barrel and allows for the use of different sizes of chokes.

Selecting Ammunition

Generally, shotguns are able to shoot two types of ammunition: large single pellets called “slugs” that create a large area of damage and shells full of smaller pellets called shot. These are useful for hitting small/moving targets.

Shot Size

Higher shot numbers indicate smaller size shot. For example, #9 shot birdshot is much smaller than #4. This applies to all categories of shot. Shotshells are available in either high-base (AKA high-brass) or low-base loadings. The high-base shells have more powder and are thus more powerful – use them when you need something extra. Shotshells come in various lengths. A shotgun can shoot shells shorter than its chamber (which will be marked on the barrel), but not longer. The longer the shell, the higher the recoil will be.

Bore Size

Bore size is the shotguns gauge and affects recoil. The smaller the gauge the greater the recoil as in 12 gauge. The higher the bore the less recoil will be as in 16, 20, 28 gauge, or .410 gauge shotguns. Most people of small stature lacking great strength can handle a 20 gauge or smaller

Ammo Based on Purpose

For small game or clay targets, purchase small shot like # 9 to 4. If you hunt larger game, such as ducks or geese, purchase the larger #5 shot up to #2 shot. For prey and game, such as coyotes or deer, use buckshot or slugs. Keep in mind sabot slugs are only for rifled barrels and use rifled slugs for smooth barrels.

Types of Gun Holsters For Sale

May 9, 2014 | 0 Comments

Gun Holsters: Things To Consider

To the uninitiated, it may not seem so complicated. Find a holster your gun will fit into, right? Wrong! There are many factors to consider when shopping for gun holsters whether online or in local gun shops.

Gun Holster Fit

The first consideration is gun to holster fit. Ensure the holster you purchase is made for the firearm you are buying it for, as well as the accessories installed on it. No one wants to buy a brand new gun holster and then realize it won’t fit because of your laser.

Next, the holster needs to secure the pistol when it is not in use. A hooded holster can prevent dangerous accidental discharges from coat strings, zippers, lipstick, or other objects. GrabAGun offers an extensive selection of holsters for sale. More than any other gun shops, online or local.

Fast Access

An additional consideration is that a holster must allow fast access to the weapon when it’s needed. This is especially important for law enforcement and security personnel. Fumbling to get a gun out of the holster can cost you your life. This is another reason for a proper fitting holster for your gun.

Good gun holsters will make it harder for an assailant to easily lift your pistol from the holster, yet will provide fast access for yourself. The “level of retention” refers to the number of features to keep the gun in the holster. For example, level two provides two features for keeping the gun in the holster. The more features a holster has will slow the draw. On the other hand, a holster with little or no level of retention enables an assailant to easily remove the gun from the holster. It becomes a matter of choice as well as the level of risk you are willing to take. Many police officers prefer level one-or single retention gun holsters for this reason.

How Will You Wear It?

Next, consider how and where the holster will be worn. This can vary greatly and depends upon the wearer. If you’re an individual with a concealed carry pistol, the choice is yours as long as it’s adequately concealed. However, law enforcement have regulations to follow.

Quality

Gun holsters are of varying degrees of quality. You need a holster that is safely functional, efficient, and long lasting. Considering a good holster protects the gun, provides fast access, secures the gun, and fits as comfortable as possible. It is wise to spend the extra money for a good holster. Shop our site and save money.

Types of Holsters

Having a holster is especially important for weapons with no safety. A strap engaging a light trigger upon draw can result in accidental discharge. The holster needs to provide a smooth transition to re-holster single handedly. This is especially important for law enforcement who often have to re-holster a weapon with one hand.

Concealed Carry Holsters

Concealed carry holsters are designed to provide concealment of concealed carry pistols. It is important to realize that concealed means concealed at all times. It is not good enough to intend to conceal. Accidental bulges and little reveals when you sit down or bend over are not allowed. This means a well-fitting holster is a necessity, and wearing a coat, long shirttails or blouses are absolutely essential. The gun must not bulge or be in view for even a moment.

You will want the same desirable factors in this type of holster as any other, with the addition of concealment. How you carry it will be an important consideration in selection. If you carry your pistol in a purse or briefcase and have small children in the home, it is wise to have a gun with two or more safeties, as well as a hooded holster and a high level of retention factor. When shopping online or at gun shops look for these features and help to keep your children safe.

Service and Duty Holsters

Duty holsters are either passive retention or active retention systems. Passive systems feature devices that must be manually engaged such as a thumb break, which is simply a strap that is snapped open with your thumb. The passive system is the most common holster available online or in gun shops.

An active system is an automatic locking system or ALS that locks the pistol into place when it is re-holstered. You must disengage the retention when you are ready to draw. These systems help prevent guns from falling out of holsters. Finding a balance between safety and retention vs. fast access is the key, and it is a matter of personal choice. If you are unable to find this type of holster at any local gun shops, shop our site or give us a call.

GrabAGun is your premier source of guns for sale. We offer one of the nation’s largest selections of guns and accessories available online or in gun shops. Our available inventory doesn’t stop there though. Are you into OWB holsters? Check out our blog article on our top 5 OWB holsters available at GrabAGun!

.44 Magnum Guns For Sale

May 8, 2014 | 0 Comments

.44 Pistol

Although known and marketed as a .44 caliber, the .44 Magnum is actually a .429-.430 caliber. The .44 designation is a relic term from the late 19th century when bullets were measured on the outside of the cartridge instead of the inside. The .44 fires a large, heavy cartridge at high velocity for a pistol. In full power, it produces such heavy recoil and muzzle blast that most police officers find it unsuitable as a duty weapon due to the difficulty and fatigue related to using it for rapid fire. Even with the heavy recoil, the .44 has its following. GrabAGun offers a large selection of various models and brands of the .44 guns for sale.

As a .44 Magnum household, I can tell you from experience that it is a hard hitting and accurate weapon; one that not just anyone can fire. However, those who can aren’t lacking in the ability to defend themselves efficiently against any attacker; man or beast. It is these beasts stopping power that makes this caliber popular among guns for sale.

.44 Carbines and Rifles

The .44 Magnum has been surpassed by larger bores, but the .44 remains popular among hunters for its ability to kill big game. Hunters prefer to use heavy, flat point bullets at moderate velocities for penetrating undergrowth with minimal deflection.

The Old West spurred the convenience of same caliber pistol/rifles chambered in the same ammo. The famous .44-40 Winchester cartridge was a precursor of the Magnum loads. Today, .44 rifles and carbines are available in numerous brands, and the flash and recoil are not the problem they are in the handgun. It is true of almost any gun. A larger caliber in a smaller gun will have more recoil than the same caliber in a long gun.

The .44 Magnum began as a revolver, but today there a handful of semi-automatic rifles available. In 1959 the first .44 Magnum semi-automatic carbine was introduced and was followed by a lever action. With the longer barrels, carbines generate a higher velocity than the revolver handguns with the same .44 Magnum ammo for sale. Shop our pistols and rifles section to view the guns for sale.

Accuracy of .44 Mag

The .44 Magnum has good accuracy, producing groups at 3 to 4 inches at 50 yards. Heavy hunting ammo drops significantly at 100 yards and this is maximum range recommended for hunting.

The .44 Magnum at GrabAGun

GrabAGun offers an extensive selection of guns for sale. Whether you are looking for pistols for sale, shotguns for sale, or rifles for sale; GrabAGun provides the best price. You will find brands like Charter Arms, Cimarron Firearms, Magnum Research, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Taurus, and others in a large variety of models.

Side-By-Side Shotguns For Sale

May 7, 2014 | 0 Comments

Side by side shotguns (S x S) have always had a loyal following, but for quite some time the price for a good side-by-side has been prohibitive for many. Today, the side-by-side shotgun is making a comeback and manufacturers are responding by offering the S X S among their shotguns for sale. You may wonder why purchase an obsolete gun, until you realize the S x S has advantages you will not receive in the pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns.

Why Side-By-Side?

First of all, the side by side shotgun for sale is so simple that a first time shooter can learn to use it in less than a minute. It is easier to operate than any pump action or semi-automatic shotgun. This alone offers a healthy market of young and inexperienced shooters among gun sales.

Second, the SxS lacks any action. This makes it shorter, lighter, and easier to operate. These are the features stimulating the growing popularity of the SxS as a home defense weapon. It is much easier to move through the tight halls and furniture packed rooms of the home. Its small size and maneuverability is a plus when hunting in dense vegetation and forests. Whether for home defense or hunting, the SXS has its place with a growing number of fans selecting it versus the popular semi-auto shotgun.

Third, side by side’s the break action enables you to use non-standard shells that don’t cycle very well in other shotguns. If the shell will fit and close it is very likely to fire. With two separate barrels and triggers on the side by side, you are able to use a mixed load. For example, you can use buckshot in one and birdshot in the other. This adds an additional benefit for hunters.

Side-By-Side Ammo

It is very rare for a SxS to jam a shell. That is a big plus in any experienced shooters view. Due to the SXS’s simplicity, on the rare occasions a jam has occurred, it is a 1-2 second fix. Reliability and its simplicity provide a strong factor fueling the SXS’s guns sales.

Short shells is a frequently used ammo in home defense. The short shells provide a light recoil that is ideal for youth and novices lacking experience, or those who can’t use a weapon with heavy recoil. Novices typically love the S X S, as the light recoil helps them to gain accuracy, as well as enables them to keep practicing without fatigue. No one wants to shoot a gun where they consistently miss due to heavy recoil and fatigue.

Disadvantages of The SXS

The primary disadvantage of the SxS is its limited ammunition, as it only provides 2 shots before you must reload. That is actually good for novices, it gives them more experience in loading. The other disadvantage is you must leave it unloaded in a home with children due to safety issues. For the right person, the SXS has plenty of advantages. It is easy to use, dependable, effective, and an awful lot of fun to shoot. It also provides a comfortable session on the range.
