Carroll County Shooting Sports Park
Huntingdon, Tennessee
Carroll County is located halfway between Memphis and Nashville in the heart of West Tennessee’s rich agriculture and hunting region. The county is home to strong high school and middle school sports shooting programs and a collegiate level program at Bethel University. County government leaders saw the potential to build a first class shooting sports park to support these programs, create new opportunities for sports shooting competitions and also host corporate events for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

Nice shooting man!
Interesting comments at 29:00 about the Christchurch thing.
It's hard to describe NZ gun laws to you in a comment without writing 2 pages. Basically we do not have any right to guns here, they are a privelage, not something embedded in the constitution. There are ~5 million people & ~1.5 guns. Pistols are very hard to get, you have to have a special license and be an active member of a gun club, it's pretty much exclusive use on a range, that's it. A major difference to the US is that in NZ it is not legal to defend yourself with a firearm.
The primary purpose for owning firearms are sports, hunting & pest control. NZ is a farming community with a few cities and guns are very useful on farms. We will not be getting rid of guns but will be taking the most lethal guns out of circulation - we don't have a need for them. They are toys, that's it. I like playing with guns, particularly target shooting but also hunting, but I don't have a problem with taking semi-autos & high cap mags out of circulation. Their primary purpose is to kill as many things in a short amount of time as possible, incl humans. It's just better we don't have them.
I don't judge the American gun culture but I'm glad we don't have it here. I'm pissed that a fucking foreigner spoilt the fun for the rest of us but we can still play with guns. Personally I find semi-autos to be like cheating when used for hunting. Give the wild pig a bit of a chance, it makes it more glorious when you take it down.
Oh, and if you want exotic guns here you can get them. You just have to get a collector's license. There's vetting & additional requirements but it's not that hard if you're a responsible person with no violent crime on your record.
As far as crime, guns are not often used. There is gang violence where someone might have a 22 or sawn-off shotty but those guys mostly fight each other. The most destructive thing they do to society is sell meth. There is a lot of violence in NZ & it would be much worse if pistols were so common that people had to arm themselves for protection. One of the worst things thata would happen would be the cops would all be armed & would be more inclined to use them. We have a great police force & I don't want them scared for their lives when responding to callouts. (sorry to write so much blah blah)

Thanks for sharing. I think I said my peace in the video so I'll avoid turning the comment section to a long debate on the topic.

Nice vids FullAuto. Makes me miss going to the range.

Hey, I remembered the company I mentioned in the video that supplied the 20in Heavy Barrel. They're called Del-Ton.

I assume you're knowledgeable about this; any chance you want to make a video on tips and how to build up an AR?
(Old Spike)
Are you asking for tips on how to assemble the parts? Or how to find the parts at a good price online?
When I assembled the parts for that AR pistol I show in the video I just followed along with instructional videos I found on YouTube.
If you want to know where to find really good prices on parts I'll give you some places that I look when I'm shopping around. Just understand that when you purchase the lower receiver, even if it is stripped and non-functioning, that is the part that the ATF says is the actual firearm. That one part must be shipped to a local Federal Firearms dealer where it can be transfered to you after a background check.
Great places to shop for parts are JSE Surplus, Palmetto State Armory, Del-Ton, Buds Gun Shop, and Anderson Manufacturing just off the top of my head.
Now here's where I sourced the parts for that pistol.
The lower came from Primary Arms and was $39.95
The upper and carry handle came from JSE Surplus and was $375.00 + $65.00
The SBA3 brace I show in the video came from Primary Arms and was $129.99
Other sites sell upper receivers for less but they do not include a bolt carrier and charging handle.
The lower parts kit (the guts of the lower) I picked up at a gun store that's on my way home for, I want to say, around $50.00.
If you lay everything out on a white towel so parts cannot roll around, you can build out the lower in about 30 minutes using a small flathead screw driver. Beware that there are a few very small springs and plungers that can fly off and be lost if you're not careful, so take your time.
Once it's together and you want to test the trigger, do not cock the hammer and pull the trigger without catching the hammer with your thumb. If you let it just fly foward and strike the lower it can crack the hammer. You might not even know it until it breaks off inside the rifle while you're shooting.
Then do a function check.

Thanks a lot, I'm looking for info on what's good bang for your buck. Not top quality stuff but not junk. I'm in Canada so as far as I know I can't buy any parts from the US of A. I'm not an avid shooter, I just enjoy it and I do a small amount of hunting. I'm looking into an AR upper/lower reciever and would have to build up the rest of the gun. I'll poke around on the net. Just wondering if you had any info. Basics. I'm not knowledgeable at all, I don't even know every single part that I'd need yet.
(Old Spike)
I'm unfamiliar with what you are "allowed" to own in Canada but if you ask and get permission to purchase an AR-15, at the very least avoid the ones that have polymer receivers. Mil-spec lowers are cast aluminum which means you do not have to worry about them breaking under stress.
If you intend on assembling the upper yourself ensure you buy the barrel with the front sight post already drilled and pined in place. If you try and do it yourself without a jig or something to allign the sights correctly you'll end up with a rifle that is impossible to aim and a ruined barrel.
Also, make sure you pick up and AR-15 armorers wrench. It's a specialized tool for removing and tighening things like the castle and barrel nut.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the info. There's a company here that sells an upper and lower together as a set that are apparently high quality. They are both machined and fit together great and easily; the reviews are great. After that, is it just a barrel, trigger assembly, and stock? For field rifles (18 or 19" barrel) do you like a barrel with a sight or do you prefer red dot scope on a rail?
Also, I'm jealous of the pricing and availability of parts. The upper/lower combo I'm looking at is $1000 plus the goverments share.

When it comes to sights, you can't go wrong with fixed iron sights. You can actually run both. Magpul makes some nice flip up sights.
