Marlin .22 rifle
Taurus .38
Taurus .357
Smith & Wesson .45
And a few various old Browning guns(John Browning, aka Browning arms) is my great, great, great grandpa. He was a Mormon back in the 1800's in SLC and had 10 children so there are quite a few family members involved,LOL. My cousin has one of the very first Browning semi automatic guns he made. Pretty cool.
Not gonna lie, the triad ex-3 is a beast. Having the power and accuracy of a single shooter combined with what is essentially three in the chamber makes for a dangerous combo. Only down side is that it is not as concealable as a single shot and does not have as high of a fire rate as the Vulcan
I'm actually picturing you dressed up as the punisher shooting pictures of middle eastern looking people stapled to mannequins yelling "USA, hell yeah, get some, MAGA".

Damn thats awesome man. I used to work for an insurance broker in SLC and one of our clients was Browning. Its cool to check out their office up in Morgan, UT. I have some distant family that was part of the OG Mormon crew. His name was Whitmore and he built a house in Nephi that is a bed and breakfast now. He was sent down to Pipe Springs to check out the area and was killed by Indians but some in the know think he was assassinated by Brigham Young. His grave is in St. George and it actually says "KILLED BY INDIANS" on his gravestone.

Am I close? I think I'm close.
You seem pretty detached from reality. You should go outside occasionally.
Ive got a savage arms rifle in 6.5 creedmoor and a pretty powerful break barrel airgun called a gamo swarm magnum. The gamo actually shoots certain pellets at 1200 fps, which is pretty impressive for
An airgun. The speed of sound is 1125 fps in comparison.

Pretty damn cool man! I am close but not super close to that side of the family, we are the outcasts.LOL I know the area you speak of and lots of crazy misinformed history there, a lot of shady shit went on or is going on to this day.LOL
Also, AR guys, what are some good recommendations for a first AR? I'm looking at the Ruger AR556, rn. Can't afford something super gucci right off the bat, but I don't want to be a psa poor

My collection is pretty bland, few pistols, an AR, and some hunting guns
But then there’s my Kriss Vector 10mm which is an absolute riot, waiting on federal approval to put a stock on it but wait times aren’t that bad when you file electronically
Also making a suppressor (Form 1) while I wait for my Rugged 45 to get out of jail
Any AR guys have any experience with Black Rain Ordnance? Can't seem to find anything flagrantly bad about their products, and I'm pretty close to pulling trigger (lol) on their Spec-15 platform that comes mounted with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24 at my local Sportsmans Warehouse. Forged mil spec upper/lower, nitride BCG, chromoly 1:7 twist barrel. For the price point on the gun, the furniture seems to be pretty basic...MOE grip/stock and a simple G.I. trigger. $1403 after tax.
My other option is to get a Springfield Saint FFH and buy the same scope separate and mount it on the rail myself. Comes with better furniture for the price point (BCM Gunfighter grip and stock) but the same GI trigger (just with a fancy nickel boron coating that doesn't really matter). Forged upper/lower, shot peened BCG, chromoly 1:8 twist barrel. $1372 after tax. Biggest difference here is the better-known reliability of the Springfield platform. Also would have to drive 3 hours one way to Utah to buy this one, so that's another probably $60-70 in gas for my truck for the trip plus 6 hours of my day.......lack of convenience vs better-established product reputation.....

Anyone got 2 cents here? Thx in advance
Saint is the clear winner.
It's mid length gas which runs cleaner and more efficient than carbine length (black rain is carbine) (If I were choosing for you this would be my deciding factor)
1:8 is the happy medium for stabilizing heavy and lighter rounds. (You'll never know the difference though unless you're shooting loooong range and looking for it).
Marginally smoother trigger.
Better looking.
Black rain you're just paying for the name. There's nothing special about that one.
You could build for a couple hundred less (or more)

Wow I hadn't even noticed that Black Rain was carbine length...been staring at my computer too long and the guy at the shop neglected to mention that smh...so thanks for pointing that out.
Any opinion on the Saint vs the Saint Edge? All I have gathered is that it's basically an extra $200 for a smoother and shorter match-grade trigger pull/reset, a machined billet lower (neat looks and marginal weight reduction), Melonite (basically nitride) BCG, and a different compensator.
I would love to build but I don't feel like I have enough know-how to do so on my first AR. If I had more time (just home in CO on vacation for a couple weeks) and didn't live/work in commie NY, I would totally take the time to tackle the learning curve and get really into an AR build.
