Sir huge fan but a slight concern. I think that you should use suppressors while testing ARs as they are extremely loud and might harm your ears. Though it might bring a slight difference in the performance but safety and health come first. Love from India♥️♥️♥️
Nice videos
Me sitting here at 7am, unable to sleep thinking "I haven't watched a Hickok video in a long while, I wonder if he has posted anything recently." Only to find out you JUST posted this video. Glad to see you are still at it.
@Sgt. Joe But it won't work that efficiently when he fires in automatic mode.
V7 is my choice . Hands down the best . I honestly thought you was going to pick the A2 .
"hickok45 here" over 10 years and still hasnt gotten old
@@cschmeelk "over" ten years, he's 11 bro.
He's already old lol. So it's not like he appears to age. He's an awesome gun youtuber though.
He looks about 65 in every video yet he doesn’t look like he changed.
the guy looks younger than he did 10 years ago
"He he he"
No one will ever experience as much joy as hickok does making a "pot" joke.
A dad joke, a grandad joke, and an all around good one.
@kinsmarts no more obnoxious than drunks
@kinsmarts how lol
@kinsmarts pot helps a lot of people man... you can't deny that
banana bread
Daniel Defense: Woa...we sold 10,000 v7s in one day...
Hickock: You're welcome.
Ha!!!!
They don’t have any AR’s!!!
They’re sold out already!!!
They been sold old for months home boyz
I would never buy a DD LWRC all day everyday
I have a DD V7... worth every penny.
@@jm9371 nope for a DI system when you can get a Piston for the same price
My wife asked me which of my guns i would keep if i could only have one... I backed away very slowly while maintaining eye contact until i was out of her range!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She must not have been holding an AR-15.
wise man, she was clearly going to tell you "sell the rest then". haha
Just ask her which single pair of shoes she wants to wear for the rest of her life.
Good move brother lol
As someone who spent a year researching what AR to get and eventually buying a DDM4V7.. this video makes me very happy.
I have the v11 and I would marry it if I didn’t have to get a divorce lol
build your own Noveske or Seekins and you will never go back to store bought nor would you relieve yourself of them
V9
I bought a lar-15 from a former marine as my first he sold it to this local eBay gun store and I got it and 2 clips with a foregrip and a suppressor(for looks of course they wasn’t a level 3 dealer) and two different range pop up sights for 800$ I thought it was a okay deal I don’t know much about ars..

@@PartTimeJedi that's badass
@@PartTimeJedi Lol Massachusetts is even worse for gun owners than Chicago is. At least you're surviving.
Cries in UK...
@@funkyneil2000 Come to America, I've already heard a few people with British accent here, it's really cool 😁
As someone from the UK, I always enjoy watching your videos, and very jealous of the freedoms you have in the USA to enjoy such a huge variety of guns to own and use for sports and recreational use.
We mainly have them for keeping those in power to not violate the other amendments. That is the #1 reason. For sport and recreational use is a "by product" to having these arms.
The government will never give you freedom, you have to take it.
You can have as many AR15s as you like in the UK. The only difference is you need to have them re-chambered to .22 if you want to keep them semi-auto.
All of the single fire rifles are legal.
Shotguns are pretty much a free-for-all.
Handguns unfortunately not, but let’s be honest - it’s the rifles that draw the crowd when you show off your collection.
The only thing stopping me buying more guns is I’ve run out of space in my cabinets……
@@NordicAxeyou can have as many blanks as you want if you convert it into something thats not a blank anymore

Funny, same here.
I just purchased the DDM4 V7 from my LGS. It truly is top of the line. I was on the fence about dropping almost 2 grand on my first AR but happy I did. I've been watching your videos for years and am a big fan! Sadly my grandfather passed away a few years back and I was given part of his massive gun collection. From Colts 1903 pocket to S&W 696 pre dash to Ruger Ac556 and many more. Your videos have truly helped me gain knowledge about each of the firearms I have inherited as well as ones that I've purchased recently. Thanks to you and your son John for all the great content!
I was wanting that gun but I’m thinking of a BCM now
You are the Bob Ross of weapons. Love the content.
Hello from France my friend !
Don't change, you'r perfect !
"Hi, Hickok45 here", just legendary....
Hello from my couch

Hello from my bed
Just jokin man
@@captainharloq8054 Nobody from bathroom ? I'm disappointed
(Joking too ;) )
Seeing that Colt AR-15 A2 never fails to put a smile on my face.
It was truly a "frankenbuild" A1/A2 smash up! No shell deflector, tear drop forward assist, no fencing, A2 grip, a2 hand guard, front pin was old slot screw type, I probably missed more but he truly loves that rifle.
@@Crotone79 I have one myself, but it’s slightly different than his. Mine lacks the teardrop forward assist. Colt said it was made in 1984. Definitely a transitional rifle made with left over SP1 upper and lower receivers. Was my first AR my father bought for me at a gun show 10 or 12 years ago. Older gentleman we got it from threw in 2 vintage 30 round Colt mags and the 20 that was in the rifle. Unfortunately he replaced the original A2 round hand guards with A1 triangles to give a more Vietnam look to it. Other than that it’s in pretty good shape and I’ve since re-installed A2 hamdguards.
Qualified "expert" 39/40 with an A1 in basic. 300m was qual distance. Back then, we still did 500m targets on a KD range. I don't know if they still do. Mostly to practice hold over and Kentucky windage. Iron sights seem to be a dying skill. With all the headlights, turn signals and space junk hanging off of rifles now days.
Years later I was issued an A4 (CCO sites still weren't a thing for basic Soldiering). I thought the A4 was the perfect upgrade with the elevation drum. The Army called them rifles still (I was raised that a 20" barrel was a carbine). But when in Rome...
Technically? The Army called them "weapon". But on the marksmanship badge, it said rifle.😂
Never went to war with the A4. But did go with an M4. I never really warmed up to that little weapon/"carbine". I cared for it because I had to. But I never really loved it.
As for modern civilian ARs? I still prefer my front sight attached to the barrel.
Personally, I'd have kept the Colt.
I love your vids Mr. Hickok.

1987 PISC rifle qualification. A-2 shot Crossed rifle badge.... continued to my next 4 years of range day.

Watching this in March 2021. Hearing him say, “ammo is widely available.”
I chuckled a little. 😞😂
It’s by design. They might not be able to take your guns legally (yet) but they can stymie your ability to use them by cutting off the flow of ammo.
My shops are fully loaded as of 08-29-2021
Guns are gold these days. Id never sell.
Big Facts! 💯
I only have 2 working guns that are mine and I buy them thinking I'm going to keep it forever and hope they last forever.
Not anymore. Back to normal prices pretty much
@@maxiomaxiom6169 yeah, seems that way. I'm still thinking that it will go through the roof again. They definitely are an investment.
@@JamesinAZ I hope so. Just built an aero upper and lower, ballistic advantage 20 inch fluted 223 wylde barrel 1/8 twist just as a marksman/varmint rifle for damn near 1000 bucks. Hoping it really jumps so I can unload it, as I already have a aero complete receiver with a 20” barrel chambered in .308 for hunting wall hangers in the fall.
"the teeth of the second amendment"... I LOVED that!
Let guess Colt.
Edit: well didn’t see that coming, so sell me that Colt.
Was thinking the same thing. Like he was gonna say something like, Old reliability supercedes fancy, expensive rifles or something like that.
@@eaz54 just because something is old doesn’t mean the others are any less reliable (probably more so). Why not have fancy/features AND reliability ;)
@@philipmix5237 I completely agree. I was only speaking to the apparent narrative that was happening in my head. I see 5 rifles, 4 new and modern and 1 old classic. 1 of those is not like the others. In the truck world a lot of workers like the old school more for the lack of features because too many features means too many moving parts and more chances of something failing plus harder to diagnose because of more variables. Isn't that what makes the classic AK-47 so great? Simple, reliable, effective. But I get what you're saying. I'm happy with what he chose. I love Daniel Defense. My dream rifle right there. And the fact that's what he chose makes me want it even more.
Right, I’m hurt somewhere deep inside. I’ll still proudly rock the colt. Look how it stood up against the modern marvel in his eyes tho.
I love how he doesn't have alot of tactical stuff on those Gucci ars
Acog and a sure fire light for me. I can’t afford an IR cause I went with an acog instead ha
Why do you love that
Nothing wrong with an optic and a flashlight. In fact, it makes the rifle much more practical.
I think everyone should have at least 1 rifle always ready for whatever. Mine has an EoTech EXPS3, Modlite PLHv2, SureFire pressure switch, Cloud Defensive switch mount, Haley Strategic light mount and sling mount, Ferro Concepts sling.
I would put an iPad on those ars
2:50 - "I have not been able to get that barrel un twisted" 😂😂
The DDM4V7 is the first rifle I've ever bought. I just got it on Tuesday based on your reviews and I'm excited to get to the range and try it out this weekend!
Your dinner is going to taste better than any meal you've ever eaten, and tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of your life.
Update: took it out on Saturday. Took about 20 rounds to have my red dot zeroed in, but once it was, boy was it fun to shoot. I regret nothing.
I like how when I watch Hickok videos sitting in the side porch with my coffee, I can't tell which birds are in the video and which are outside the windows. Love it! !!
It really brings me right there with him.
That 4th rifle from the left remind me when i was in the army. My personal weapon was a M16A1.
Well, quite a lot of the parts in it are like those of an M16A1 or its updated sister, the M16A2. No surprise that it's familiar to you.
@@stevenbobbybills Yes, it looks different only shape of hand guard i guess.
yep, used in vietnam, a beauty
Thank you for your service
@@JCPROSPECTING Hello sir, this isn't meaning i was in war. I was in the army 2003~2005 in our country. That M16A1 i used is probably licensed product in 1970s or 1980s. Elders generation served in the Vietnam War, but sometimes when I met them and asked them, they would not tell me the details. I could guess what he didn't want to say, but I didn't ask any more..
Built my first AR15 223/556 wylde last month. It has been a joy building it and shooting it.
Watching your videos has inspired me to shoot guns as my hobby living in rural Missouri. Keep up the awesome videos and love the community.
But if that LWRC was in 5.56 I bet you would choose it 😂
Awesome choice! I just picked up my DDM4 V7, 1st AR15 ever, yesterday. Can’t wait to hit the range.
How much did that set you back?
Congratulations
Good for you sir!! Enjoy it.!!!
My very first AR was a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 and I regret that I sold it. I have tried just about every AR since and nothing compares to my first Daniel Defense. I am happy to say that I'm finally buying another one :).
My son and I always saying "Hickok45 here"
First time my wife heard a Hickok video playing on my phone she thought it was doctor phil haaa! !
They do sound similar
I just ordered DD M4V7 after watching many, many reviews. Glad this one has your stamp of approval!
I love how comfortable he is with his A2, you can tell pops really got it! Stay safe Hickok we
Your videos are very interesting. Greetings from BRAZIL and continue with your great work on TH-cam.

Hey hickock, I really love how even though you have all these subscribers, you never let it go to your head. Some guys get around 20 k and they get a blimp head. But you have over 5 million and you don't talk too much, you hardly have any ads, and Even though you could really be raking it in by putting ads in your videos, you still dont. This makes you my favorite youtuber, maybe ever.
Mornin,Sir. Thats a whole lot of freedom lying on that table
Amen.
Just wanted to thank you for what you do. When I need to get the straight information on a firearm, you are the one that I turn to. Just a thank you for the effort that you put into your videos.
V7 FOR THE WIN!!!!!!! What I got and I love it. I have a timney calvin elite trigger in mine.
I have many AR's. Including a Colt Sporter II. I bought it in 1985. My first ever rifle. Made in 1974. I could never give her up. :)

I bet hearing dad say, as he went out the back door, “I’m going bowling,” meant something different to Big John growing up! 😂😂😂
I'm building my own AR15 with my dad currently but it always so fun to go shooting with a variety, but cleaning the guns after can be time consuming.
Enjoy it man and get spare parts because they may become unavailable soon .
Lol I clean my ar15s MAYBE every 1000 rounds.
That's just a part of the process. Imo I enjoy the calm tedium after the chaos.
Find something interesting to listen to while you clean them!
Cleaning and maintenance is a great contrast to using your gun. There is a lot to be said about the tranquility of cleaning something that is so chaotic during use.
That's why my first rifle is going to be a LWRC IC SPR 5.56
Thanks
My choice would be the A2. I loved it since serving in the Marine Corps. So, I will now watch the video to see which is your choice. I love your videos, and your right down the road a little ways. Keep up the great work. I find your videos very educational. I like and own the PT111G2 and I find the grips very sweet as well.
Great choice. I chose the DDM4V7 almost immediately. Just can’t go wrong. Eats everything and highly reliable.
Good morning Mr. Hickok. A video I been waiting for. Thank you sir.
The 2nd amendment protects all the other amendments
Looks like we may have to protect the 1st in the near future... My ancestors died for those rights and the 1st one is under grave threats. It starts with big tech but that's most certainly not where it ends...
the "Con"stitution is just that, a con to make you think you have rights when in fact, you do not have rights you have freedom and liberty, granted to you by the Great Creator on the day he put you here in this realm to live out your mortal experience
Can't protect against the 19th. Alas.
@@magnificentgentleman2805 Sadly, you are right. Although, I think if the majority of Americans knew that we no longer have fair and free elections (which means we are almost like slaves) then they may take up arms to retake their right to vote. Or, they'd be complacent as long as they have wifi and a never ending stream of entertainment.
The LWRC is the one for me....I'm a twisted guy so that barrel fits. :)
They were playing your videos at my local gun store and I was super happy to see you on a 72 inch tv.
That’s awesome
Have a S&W M&P-15 as my first AR. Loving the hell out of it. Right now, saving up on a Daniel Defense SOCOM M-4 with the quad rails with a Trijicon ACOG to go along with it. Not gonna be cheap at 3.5K at least but so gonna be worth it to go along side my M&P!
Real title: The AR-15 I will hide and not turn in to the national buyback program.
Can't "buy back" something they didn't have to start with. I dont know about you but I haven't purchased anything from the government.
The government couldn't pass the background check. Denied.
I'm not giving a gun to an international arms dealer... it would probably end up with the Mexican cartels like before!
Why would anyone comply with a national buyback program?
@@leifleoden5464 stupidity and fear
Bought a DD Mk18 pistol a little over a year ago, i absolutely freakin love the thing.
You and me both. admittedly I'm not as they say, a great shot. But that mk18 up to 100yds lets me fool anybody into thinking I am. Same with my kids m4v11. I am so glad I waited to buy the one I wanted when I could afford to rather than settling for less. ITS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR CONFISCATION!!!!
Hej Hickok, following you long time, thank you for the great videos, much love from Serbia! Stay safe and God bless you.
Love it when you pull out a carbine . Guy next to you says that doesn’t look to loud . Then proceed to unload and he’s there in aww 😄
Priceless !!!
Keep 'em all Hickok!! I now have a strict no-sell policy when it comes to my guns. Had to sell a bunch of my guns a long time ago when I got in a tight spot, been sorry ever since. Wished I had those back!! Great vids man, keep 'em coming!
Same!!!!
I’m glad the Colt was in the top two. I love Colt.
I made a promise to myself I'll never sell ANY of my firsts. First pistol, first revolver, first AR-15, first shotgun, first milsurp rifle, etc.
I've met plenty of old timers who kick themselves for selling their firsts, and they wish they'd just held onto them.
Last gun I'd ever be willing to part with is my trusty Astra A-100 in .40S&W. First firearm I ever bought. You'd likely have to kill me to get me to give it up.
It was only $250, but it is an eternal symbol of the day I truly became a self-determining free individual. Nothing screams liberty more than your first firearm, and if you have any sense in you, your first gun should also be your last gun.
As for my first AR-15, yeah, I'll become a felon long before I give that rifle up. If they ban them, I don't care, I'm keeping it.
Yes Sir makes a lot of sense and it really hits home for me. Because 1 my first gun was a AR15 and 2 it was the last thing my father bought and gave to me. I’ll NEVER part with it
Mine is a Ruger GP100 357 mag, ill never give that gun up
What about your first wife?
I had to sell my first AR (Bushmaster xm-15) and my first handgun (Glock 17) got stolen. Never again will I let that happen....never again.
@SW I have a Ruger P95 and she runs like a champ! Only thing I don't like on it is the mag release button. Great gun, though 👍
I bought my first colt Ar15 carbine this year with the first child support check in over 6 years and that came because of the covid money my ex tried to get. So I took the 1200$ and bought a colt to give to my son when he gets older.
Nice. Hope he enjoys it.
Nice gun, best wishes to keeping that piece for him when time comes
Get some PMAGS also while you still can. Ammo would be nice as well.
I would have gotten a shotgun, 12g and ... maybe .... another shotgun? Would you go with one Browning or two Remingtons? Problem with ARs is high cost of ammo. 12g much cheaper.
I won’t but anything colt ever again
The V7 and M4A1 have the best barrels on that table that will outlast the others. Wise choice. I would also opt for the V7 because it is lighter than the M4A1.
Glad the A2 made it to 2nd. I just love those things.
The lightweight Mlok rail with iron sights is hard to beat. As much as I love my Colt stuff, I too would keep my BCM or DD Mloks because they weigh less.
Nothing is more cruel than a “one AR” ultimatum though!
Hang on to them all sir! May be hard to come by very soon! I'm still putting them together like the world's ending. Howdy from WNC
Watching this as I stroke my DD MK18 and DD M4A1. Would never sell these two quads!

@@wesworld98 bro how did you get it they are always sold out im losing my mind lol
@@zackharris4293 me and a buddy got the last two they had, Alabama is a great place for guns!
Which is better? DD m4a1 or the v7?
@@keithhenderson2300 V7 is 16" while M4A1 is 14.5". Also, V7 has mlok rail while M4A1 has quad rail. I like quad rails because weapon lights and other stuff can be attached more easily than on mlok rail. I actually had a V7 Pro (18") but sold it and got the M4A1 upper. So ask yourself which one you want?
Your judging and putting emotions to the side is admirable sir!
"The teeth of the 2nd amendment" -Hickok45 on ar15s.
Absolute legend
I literally cannot Believe how much your channel has grown. Long time subscriber. Watched you blow up fast and I was happy for you. Respect to the second amendment!!!!!!
“Traded sold bought replaced” and losing them in a boating accident 😂
Personally, mainly because it's the only one I've ever fired is the A-2.
It was my issued baby when I was in the 82nd Airborne Division 1984-87 😁
Excellent as always my 2nd Amendment brother 🇺🇸👊🇺🇸
I had an older gentlemen come to my shop with 3 AR15's he wanted me to put prism sights on, sight in, and clean when finished. Two were a Daniel Defense and one was a LWRC. Those two Daniel Defense were much tighter, more quality built, as well as more accurate than the LWRC. Still though were not quite what my two full custom AR15s I built with GGP billet reciever sets but for a factory built AR15 they were the best I ever messed with in category of factory build AR15's
Great choice Hickok, I would never give up my DDM4V1LW. It was my first that I bought after I retired from the Marine Corps in 2003, and that is the one they will have to pry out of my cold dead hands!
Your mic must be amazing. That shot sounds much better than most channels
There are downsides to not using a lapel mic, but getting better, more realistic sounds is the upside of not wearing a mic.
@@hickok45 the choreography between camera and shooting is splendid. You and your son are synchronized and it makes the viewing experience wonderful.
Most people only have one AR15. This legend has so many that he can create a top-5 list.
Thanks Hickok for making me feel better about damn near selling my kidney for my DDM4v7.
😆
“It smokes pot” haha. Best OG youtuber Been doing it for so long
I live in Crook County, Illinois and can't own an semi-automatic rifle due to the 2A being used as Charmin here. So, I have a DDM4v7p Law Tactical folder pistol and a POF Renegade + pistol, both in 300 AAC Blackout. Both ran $2k. I'd pick the POF in a heartbeat. The quality is about equal, but you get so much more with the POF: drop in 3.5 lb trigger, fully ambidextrous controls, quality ambi CH, Dictator gas block, heat sink barrel nut, roller cam BCG, burnt bronze finish ... The DD is good quality, but really just a mil-spec AR that is put together exceptionally well.
To me, if they were 1911's, the DD would be a Dan Wesson Valor, and the POF would be a Wilson Combat or Ed Brown.
Not knocking the DD, it's just that you don't get anything extra over about equal quality you'd pay $1,200 for with something like a base Zev CORE.
"My toaster" LMAO!! One of my thoughts when I read, watch, or hear folks going on ad nauseum about their tactical accessories is "What about a toaster oven?".
"It also penetrates paper well"
Now I want to see a real, "lethal" gun which sucks at this discipline! =D
beautiful ARs you have there
“I can put any gadgets on here my toaster or whatever I wanna do” 😂
Mr. Hickok, you picked exactly what I predicted you would pick... in fact, I knew you would end up having to choose between the modern Daniel Defense V7 and the classic A2. They are both reliable, proven, no frills, workhorse rifles. The A2 is only beaten by the Daniel Defense due to its modern improvements in many of its components and the ever flexible rail system. Although you can also improve many of the original A2 components and bring that classic rifle into the modern AR arena, the length would both be beneficial in some instances but detrimental in others, thus the mid length, lighter weight, more maneuverable and already upgraded modern Daniel Defense rifle still ends up making the most sense. So either I'm developing some prediction powers or I've just been watching the channel long enough to understand your way of thinking to a determinable degree. Another nice video sir!
Picked up a DDm4v7 pro about two weeks ago, slapped an EOtech on her and some backup mbus flip ups. Couldn’t be happier.
I could watch you guys everyday for the rest of my life. So much love
This guy reminds me that when it comes down to it, the old man with the old rifle is the one you want on your side.
No flash demos filled with fluffy “fad talk”, just real world practical information, while displaying he can out shoot literally anyone out there.
A tear dropped from my eye when he pushed the colt out of the way…😢
I love the variety...we can never let go of this right. All guns/calibers have their purpose.
The a2 has a surprise for any situation that all the other muskets don’t. A2 is more deadly when you run out of beans & bullets.
I'm legitimately relieved silencer central isn't based out of Illinois.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THAT, BCM RECCE I FEEL IT WAS BUILT FOR ME.
The L W R C hands down!!!!!!
GREAT Video!!!! I have SEVERAL High End Builds that I built, that shoot SO SMOOTH!!!! I would TOTALLY pick my Mil-Spec Brown DDM4V7 ALL DAY, EVERYDAY if I had to just pick one. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN THOUGH!!!
Why favorite ar ever is either my colt 6940 or my 14,5 pinned geissele just amazing rifles I recommend them a lot and that coming from a guy with like 12 ars but those two are just perfect
If grandpa Hickok says DDM4 V7 is basically his choice, that is what you get. Just got my first AR-15, and ofcourse it is the DDM4V7.
Same here .
How is it ?
@@squidy4082 love it, you can frankly feel the quality when you hold it. On the range too it’s perfect. I would say if you can afford it, it’s a no brained especially when mid tier players are asking almost 1300. Put a few hundred dollars more and get a much better product.
@@sebastianshaw210 I can’t wait til me and my bf get enough money to buy one and a glock
@@sebastianshaw210 but yeah that’s awesome , I’ve always wondered what was a good ar15 company
I love how he either has a red dot or iron sights on these rifles instead of long range scopes 👍🏽
Really helped someone who knows nothing about rifles to get some type of comparison going on when it comes to quality and things to look for in an AR.
THANKS for the shoutout to local Silencer Central! Those guys are great. I got 4 suppressors in under 3 months going through them and it was so much easier than I could have ever imagined. Love me some quad rail.
You didn’t have an LWRCI in 5.56? I also didn’t see a POF on the table.
LWRCI all day, everyday in 5.56 and 7.62 (no exceptions). 🇺🇸
Two bets AR manufacturers by far. POF and LWRC.
No one gonna sell their AR's 😂🤣
Nope, especially not THESE days. And I just love the phrase "Buy Back" that the gun banners dreamed up. Even if I chose to sell a firearm, it would definitely be MY choice and I would not be "selling" it to the government. It would be at a gun shop or gun show. Nobody I know bought any guns from the police / government, so there's nothing they sold in the first place to "buy back." :-)
@@hickok45 Amen to that! God bless you and have a nice day sir! 2A all the way!
@@hickok45 I've never read a more true comment.
@@hickok45 What's laughable is that these gun control advocates honestly believe that Americans will comply and turn in thier guns. Because Americans have such a history of compliance, just look at Lexington and Concord 1775

Actually, I did buy a Sig P250 .45 ACP many years ago through the quartermaster of a local PD, who worked directly with Sig. While unrelated to the department, that's about as close as I believe you can come, depending upon rules policies and ordinances. I also believe that in some states gun dealers are allowed through bidding to buy confiscated firearms from local PD's to augment general funding. They in turn sell them to the public. But seeing as how municipal and county law enforcement agencies are not in the business of selling firearms, I agree; the logic of the statement is indeed flawed.
Guns N Basses Forever!🔫🎸
The last ar15 of mine I'd sell... is none of them lol
We need more people like hickok45 in America! And I’m definitely going to get DD M4 V7 with LWRC!
Its simplicity is what makes it so compatible as “THE SERVICE RIFLE”. No fancy “add ons”. Just a perfect weapon. And thats what it was intended for.
You would think because i live in Serbia where the Zastava is i would be satisfied with firearms we have here but no.I wanna get my hands on one of those.
Hopefully you have some good choices, just the same. 😊
Right! Who wants just one flavor of ice cream every day forever?
@@Qingeaton exactly.
