Frequently Asked Questions

Are guns becoming more affordable in the current market?

Yes, the video highlights new companies like OneHorse launching affordable AR-15 platforms starting at $550 MSRP. Several other brands also introduced new models with competitive pricing, suggesting a trend towards increased affordability in certain firearm segments.

What are the key features of the new OneHorse AR-15 rifles?

The OneHorse AR-15 in 5.56mm features a 16-inch barrel, 15-inch M-LOK handguard, and comes with a Magpul magazine. A 300 Blackout variant is also available with a pistol-length gas system. These are offered at an MSRP of $550.

How often should suppressors be cleaned?

For centerfire suppressors, cleaning is rarely necessary as carbon buildup can aid performance. Rimfire suppressors, however, should be cleaned approximately every 500-1000 rounds due to lead buildup, with sonic cleaners being a recommended tool.

The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Carry Comp Equalizer is priced at $650 MSRP. This includes enhancements like extensive slide milling, a chunk port, and an optics cut, offering significant value over the standard model.
