Noreen Firearms, in Belgrade, Montana is a great gun-making company in the AR world. Despite the recent rush of sales, they still have some inventory, including some very nicely crafted 80% complete AR-10 and AR-15 lower receivers. They also make an amazing .50 BMG bolt action rifle, called the ULR-50. And they are now developing a .300 Winchester Magnum AR platform!

Eastern Washington
Rep. Matt Shea has posted three video updates on recent legislative activity on the floor in Olympia. In the first segment, he mostly had bad news regarding Washington abortion laws.

Pray hard, folks!

Wyoming
I recently stumbled into an 80% AR build video that mentioned CeraTac LLC in Cheyenne, Wyoming. They have great customer service and they offer some of the least expensive AR rifle and AR pistol completion kits for home builders. Whether you start with a commercial complete 100% lower or an 80% lower, if you are on a tight budget then the CeraTac parts sets are the way to go! In the video, “HandleBandle” shows an AR pistol that he built, for just $270!
