Quick question, just upgraded to RPAL hoping to get a handgun but didn’t make it on time. Are there any restricted long guns worth looking at? I’m looking for a semi auto .223/556. The only ones I can find are AR180 variants that are complete dog shit and built with horrible quality. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Def check out the B&T GHM9-G. Cheaper than the APC because it’s just a simple direct blowback system. Slightly more felt recoil than the APC, but also a simpler and potentially more reliable system. Super high-quality rad Swiss little gun. It’s definitely on my list, just have to talk my wife into it!

(*The G stands for Glock because it takes Glock mags, which are more abundant and cheaper.)
