Is there a point in putting a 4” can on a full 16” length barrel? My goal is not to make my AR too long but still having a can for a modest noise deduction and acts as a flash hider. That’s why I want to go with a 4” can.

But like is there a point since the can will be so short? How will it perform? Anyone had any experience on 4” K can before?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are seriously considering buying about 2 acres of raw land in northern AZ and having a manufactured house built for our family of five (2 adults, 2 young kids, and a GSP). We’re still in the early planning phase and trying to understand what the real costs look like beyond just buying the land and the house.

Current numbers:
Raw land: ~$80,000
Manufactured home: ~$95,000
No existing utilities on the property
Plan is to live in my camper on the property while everything is being developed and installed

What I’m struggling to estimate are all the “hidden” costs that come after buying the land and house.

Things I’m thinking about:
Land clearing
Driveway installation
Site grading
Foundation for the manufactured home
Delivery and setup of the home
Septic system
Well drilling (or water storage if no well)
Power (grid connection vs solar)
Propane tank

For those who have done this before:
What was your total all-in cost from raw land to move-in ready?
If you started with an $80k piece of raw land and a ~$95k manufactured home, what would you realistically budget for the entire project?
Did you live in an RV/camper during construction? If so, what challenges did you run into that you didn’t anticipate?
If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?
My rough guess is that the project could end up anywhere between $220k and $350k+, depending on utilities and how much work is DIY, but I’m curious whether I’m being overly optimistic or overly pessimistic.

I’d love to hear real-world numbers and lessons learned from people who have actually gone from raw land to a livable homestead.

Thanks a bunch!

Personally I think this is a great deal, the only problem I have is that I’ve never heard of or purchased from this website. Kind of wanna run this by the community here and see if you guys have had any experience with this website here. I’ve been eyeing on the Harrier since they came out.

Not sure if there’ll be some more discounts during the Fourth of July sale or not, especially with this year being 250 anniversary and all.

But this is legit the lowest price point I’ve seen for this AR with the magpul furniture model.

Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

Saw this Ruger Harrier with the Magpul DT buttstock going for sub $600. Never really paid attention to this model but did some research and saw some people love this gun.

So for people who know if this is a good deal, please lmk and I might get myself one of these.

Thanks!

Been wanting to get one of these AR556 8500 model but haven’t had the chance yet.

I feel like these days most sellers sell this gun for above $700 so when I saw this I want to jump right on.

Should I do more research or this is actually a good price? I want a fixed A2 post M4 style rifle anyways so might as well? What do you guys think?
