Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Rifle

Posted on  | 0 Comments

So you are interested in buying your first firearm and you feel ready to learn how to use it responsibly. But what kind of gun do you need? Are you looking for a hunting rifle because you want to be closer to nature or do you just love the outdoors and want to learn more about firearms? Learning more about the options available to you for your first firearm is the first step.

As you research the types of guns available to you, pay attention to the type of ammunition they use, the way they feel in your hands, and how comfortable shooting it may be. GrabAGun has many different types of rifles for you to choose from in various brands, models, and calibers!

Understanding Different Types of Rifles

Whether you are interested in learning how to hunt or shoot targets, you’ll need to learn about the different types of rifles for sale before you can decide what you need to buy. Guns are categorized according to many different features, but one way to easily differentiate among them is to know the mechanics behind the way it fires.

Semi-Automatic Rifle

A semi-automatic rifle fires a single round when the trigger is pulled. That’s different from the way a fully automatic firearm works, which continuously fires rounds while the trigger is held. Semi-auto rifles are larger in size and have a longer barrel. They are also often used for home defense.

Bolt Action Rifle

A bolt action rifle is different from a semi-auto because it works manually, which means you open and close the barrel by hand. A small handle on the side of the gun opens to release the bullet and the casing. Most bolt actions are rifles, but the phrase “bolt action” refers to the way the gun works, which means that it may also be a bolt action handgun or any other type of firearm that is not a rifle.

Lever Action Rifle

Lever action rifles are manually operated as well. Cartridges are loaded into a compartment on the bottom of the gun, near the trigger and trigger guard. The ammo goes into an area with a lever (hence the name). As with bolt action guns, most are rifles, but some are pistols or shotguns for sale.

Single Shot Rifle

Single shot rifles are named as such because they hold only a single round of ammunition. This is one of the oldest designs of a firearm. The simple design is still popular among gun enthusiasts today.

Revolving Cylinder

Revolving cylinder guns are guns that have multiple chambers for ammunition. The most well-known and recognizable type of gun with a revolving cylinder is a handgun where the chamber snaps out of the side and rotates. However, there are other types of firearms that have revolving cylinders as well.

Accessories

Next, you’ll want to consider looking into the types of gun accessories you might want to use. That can help you get a better idea of how you see yourself as a hunter, target shooter, or firearm enthusiast. Do you think you will want to use a stand? Or perhaps you simply want to be able to carry it with you for protection.

Which is Better? The AK47 Vs. The AR15

ak47 vs ar15

AK-47 and AR-15’s | Head to Head

There are fans on both sides of the AK-47 vs. AR-15 debate. Depending upon the intended use, each gun has its advantages. When making the decision as to purchase the AR 15 for sale vs. the AK47 for sale on today’s market there are several factors to be considered. One way of looking at it is that you are comparing the larger 7.62 × 39 caliber to the smaller 5.56 × 45 and .223 caliber.

Caliber is Important

Unlike the 5.56 caliber, the 7.62 caliber is able to penetrate a concrete block, or as much 0.5 inch steel plate, depending upon the ammo used. The 7.62 is going to do more damage.

All 10 bullets of both the AK and the AR 15 penetrated both sides of a truck, but only the 7.62 ammo went completely through two plywood walls of a garage. As for the 5.56 ammo, 7 of 10 shots fired entered the first wall and fragmented after passing through both sides of the trucks metal body. The results of this demonstration was in the fragmentation of the AR15 in the first wall with only three entries of ten into the second, whereas all 10 shots of the AK47 went clean through everything.

Just this past fall I saw on the news that a hunter had killed two deer with one 7.62 shot as the bullet passed through the first and entered a second killing both. Luckily he wasn’t at the end of his seasons bag limit as it was caught on film. Never under estimate the power of these guns, or of any gun for that matter. It is a gun owner’s responsibility to know the proper use and handling of a gun, as well as knowing a guns range.

Applications of the AR-15 Vs. AK-47

For the gun with the tightest grouping, the longest range, one you can trick out to the max, or use in competitive shooting; choose the AR. But if you want a rifle for self-defense and the greatest reliability, choose the AK 47. Practice makes perfect and the more familiar you are with any gun, the greater your accuracy will be. Using a good grade of ammo for sale will also help.

The AK vs. AR debate includes suitability for home defense. I personally would never shoot either inside of my home. They are simply too powerful with the ability to pass through an assailant or the walls. Either could also pass through an exterior wall and into a neighbor’s house. I prefer the AR-15 as a coyote gun and the AK is one of my if-crap-hits-the-fan guns.

Hunter’s use both guns with success and there is no shortage of either in the woods come deer season. Ultimately, my advice is to shoot both weapons before making a decision. Both are great guns and, if you can afford it, purchase one of each. I have seen accurate hunters take a deer in one shot with a .22 rifle. It’s just proof to the old saying that “a good gun can’t make a good hunter out of a bad one.”

Weight of The AK47 vs. AR15

Another factor to consider in the AK-47 vs. AR 15 decision is weight. The heavier AK 47 for sale is manufactured out of steel, whereas most AR’s are manufactured from mostly aluminum. Due to their larger size, the AK-47 ammo will add more carry weight than the AR-15 ammo for sale, another reason that many choose the AR over the AK.

The greatest appeal of the AR-15 is its versatility. It can be modified, customized, assembled from scratch and rebuilt with only a few basic tools and very little knowledge.

A desirable gun to begin with, possessing the reputation of extreme accuracy as well as a semi-automatic feed gas system. It is the legendary versatility of the AR-15 that takes the definition of custom to a whole new level.

Like the Presidents Limo, the AR-15’s features don’t end at basic construction. Its versatility allows for the equivalent of having 14+ weapons within one.

By simply exchanging the barrel and the receiver, the AR-15 can fire 16 different calibers and sizes of ammo from a .22 LR to the .50BMG.

Easily customized, the AR-15 adapts to a personal defense weapon at less than 36 inches to a sniper rifle of over 50 inches with the power to reach out and touch someone (or a trophy Buck) at an average accuracy range of 547 yards and firing 700-950 rounds/min. The magazine capacity is a standard 30 rounds, but gun magazines are available of up to 100 rounds.

There are hundreds of aftermarket AR-15 accessories available for use with a modular accessory rail. A few of the available AR 15 accessories are lasers, night vision, scopes, AR uppers, and AR lowers for a large variety of calibers. As if that wasn’t versatility enough, the AR-15 lower receiver can be used as a trigger mechanism for single shot or side-fed upper receiver platforms and can be used to fire a number of larger calibers, including Crossbow bolts.

These features account for the strong popularity even when compared to other assault rifles for sale.

GrabAGun can provide you with the AR 15 accessories such as, AR-15 lowers, AR-15 uppers, and many more accessories for customizing the AR-15. Shop online to view our large assortment of the AR-15 for sale as well as an extensive inventory of AR-15 accessories and AR 15 parts.

Magpul PMAG at GrabAGun

Posted on  | 0 Comments

Magpul released the PMAG 30-round 5.56 NATO Polymer Magazine for AR15/M4/M16 platform weapons in the early part of 2007. Because of the dependability, consistency and durability of PMAGS, millions were fielded to our military, law enforcement and also commercial users. PMAGS have become the standard for magazine reliability. Even today, Magpul strives and succeeds in improving current products and growing their line of PMAGS to consist of new calibers and weapon systems.

Gun enthusiasts have said that the only downfall of the original was the possibility of weakness at the base of the round which can split, and also the wider base plate which has the potential of creating a snug fit with certain dual mag pouches. Because of this, Magpul has made great improvements. The new mag consists of much stronger plastic and a low profile base plate.

Quality assurance is such a priority for Magpul that it motivates them to invest whatever it takes to achieve excellence in all their products. With that said, we have seen them adding a more aggressive grip texture, a re-engineered bolt catch and they offer more weapons compatibility, including the HK 416.

PMAGS are easy to use and maintain, due to the simple design. They are effective, rugged and less prone to misfires. As far as teaching and training people to use them, they really don’t require a lot, and again, they are not difficult to maintain.

Magpul also offers a variety of PMAG accessories that are affordable and, of course, are premier in quality. The beauty of Magpul is that their products are used, appreciated and loved by experts and yet, are a great place to start for beginners. Whatever your shooting need or desire, you can’t go wrong with the experience and expertise of Magpul.
