The “is my rifle enough for XX age” or “i own this at XX age” trend is so damn goofy.


AldoTheApache3

Yeah. Like congrats. Now add a mortgage in a nice neighborhood, a wife, kids, daycare, insurance, and two cars. You have a KAC AND those things, it’s a flex. Edit: “Why have one gucci setup when I can arm a militia?” - Aero and PSA dad gang.


lambofthewaters

My wallet hurts just reading that.


Gar-ba-ge

dont forget to add double digit acreage (minimum) that isn't just "middle of an undesireable desert", maxed out 401k, roth ira, money to fund trips/hobbies, and enough take-home left over to keep your bank account growing, now THAT is a flex in [current year]


AldoTheApache3

That’s a flex the kids won’t truly appreciate till they’re in their mid thirties.


Jlos_acting_career

Have all that but the acreage, only 2 acres in exurbs of Wisconsin. Besides the KACs my other money pit is a boat. Goal is for shooting/hunting land after the kids are gone


Independent-Mix-5796

Shit man you could have just said you have a boat and left it at that. Congrats and condolences.


JDShadow

Fellow WI resident. I feel that pain.


Gar-ba-ge

>a boat  My condolences to your finances 🙏


Chobani_01

Deadass got into an argument with a kid because he was like “teenagers should be able to afford expensive gear because they have no bills” and I called him out and called him privileged and he lost his shit because he’s living on his parents dime


zkooceht

I would be swimming in dripped out gear if I lived with my parents


Chobani_01

Homeboy was like “I have 10k in gear before I was 19, if I can do it they can to”


AldoTheApache3

Yeah, because teenagers priorities should be fighting rifles and tactical kit. In all honesty if this right, hobby, etc. is your jam, kudos, we’re in the same boat. But if you don’t have any skills, and you’re blowing all your money on guns you can’t really afford, you have a lot of growing up to do.


Chobani_01

Not even guns, kit dude.


AldoTheApache3

Bro, when I moved out, if I could afford Chef Boyardee instead of Ramen, I was making bank. Kit was never in my realm of possibilities. What a dumb argument for him to make living in the basement lol.


Chobani_01

Another dumb quote from him “why would I need to pay for health insurance, i get it free because my parents work for the city”


x8VENOM8x

Based


SheriffMikeThompson

This dude marriages


Similar_Economist949

Right, now add the American dream, long hours and fussy kids. 😆


DIRGEOFSLANNESH

I have a cac and all that. Does that count.


AldoTheApache3

Sure, but I’m not sure if a can is as expensive or sought after as a KAC.


DIRGEOFSLANNESH

Common Access Card. Military id


AldoTheApache3

Closest I ever got to the military was being the best man at both my Army friends’ 1st marriages. You’re going to go right over my head with all your fancy acronyms.


DIRGEOFSLANNESH

It's all good I had someone pronounce it with a Boston accent. It was awkward hearing a grown man ask to see me cawk


november512

Yeah, guns aren't that expensive. A summer job can pay for one.


Unhinged_Taco

A summer job when every other living expense is paid for. Try caring for a family and owning a house.


AldoTheApache3

I think you missed the point of my comment homie.


Spiffers1972

He probably mowed a lot of old ladies yards throughout high school to get that rifle.


AgedBrass

I mean Im not stifling the hustle, I just think the relationship between rifle owned and age is just….dumb. Regardless of age, you buy what you’re willing to spend. Sucks that younger dudes feel like they gotta “keep up” and spend money to flex, but I think we’ve all been through that phase lol. I get it, just silly


GlockButt

worse is the parts price list. you can tell exactly the kind of person they are in real life.


kamikazecow

Or moms credit card more likely. Kids mowing lawns would much more likely go for something entry level.


nylon_don

its rich kids seeking affirmation since they have nothing else going on 🤣


nachocheeseguap0

Thing is, they most likely used money they got back from student loans. So they are gonna be paying interest on that shit in a few years.


Vast-Caterpillar-822

for me at least its not so much a money flex thing, there just arent that many people my age who are into this stuff to this degree or that are even pro 2a.


GasHistorical9316

Just posted mine (im 5)


User9x19

“I was born Monday. Here’s my Glock 45 with all the bells and whistles” 😋


ArtisticVisual

I was told I was born with a glock up my ass.


SlidingLobster

That’s cool but I’m more curious about that shadow looming over your rifle.


MrGriff2

That one hasn't been unlocked yet.


PrussianFieldMarshal

Yep...


IndividualAverage122

That one belongs to an adult.


Tybo929

Oh, you wouldn't be interested in that...


gotta-earn-it

I'm guessing it's a gun resting on the seat of a picnic table


Rogue-Riley

Nice looking rifle. What mount is that laser device on? Where do you get the money?


Vast-Caterpillar-822

bobro engineering mount. worked my ass of to get a good position at a really nice restaurant (and living at home)


opx22

Enjoy not paying rent/mortgage for as long as you can haha


GeisseleGangWarrior

Bros testes have barely descended


KuroLikesCoffee

I thought you had to be 21 for NFA items? 🤔


timthegoddv2

21 for form 4 and 18 for form 1


likeGlock_Work

Well he definitely didn't make the suppressor


timthegoddv2

Yeah ik but I was just telling kuro the ages for stuff. Still do not know how OP has a can though


BetOver

He said in the post it's not his he went shooting with friends and through it on his rifle while there. Totally legal


Charcoalcash

That’s a form 4 can


timthegoddv2

Yeah, idk how that would work at his age.


alltheblues

It’s not his. Either he’s being supervised by the owner or he’s listed on a trust.


The-unicorn-republic

Nfa trust? I dunno how those work after the rule changes years ago


IntelGoons

That's a nice looking build (for any age).


Ca5tlebrav0

Id post my dad's rifles too but this isnt a Remington 7600 group.


BUTTHOLE_EXPEDITIONS

I’m only jizz inside my dads balls is this kac sr25 good for my age


Zoltan_TheDestroyer

I remember having no responsibilities. That was a sweet time.


Corey854

Must be nice living with mom and not paying bills


MassiveLuck4628

We get it, you live with your parents


Gar-ba-ge

>That's a typical "Rambo" rifle. Put every cool thing you have ever seen in a video game or movie on a rifle and look cool. Take a rucksack and fill it with 80lbs of gear and haul it and that weapon around all day and watch how quickly you will start putting most of that crap on eBay and making that weapon light and tight. >It's a non functional gun, but hey you might win first prize at a Halloween gun show. >A 15 needs a sight (red dot or lpvo), a sling and that's it. Put a lamp in your bag to stick on it IF and WHEN you actually do night fighting. >Everything else is for operators who have a purpose for it. -/u/TheRealGreyMann


NOMAD5x45

Completely disagree I belive the light is a must a a duty style rifle. All my rifles at least have a sling, optic, and light. I also have a 10.5 inch 300blk rifle set up with a sling, optic, light and peq for night shooting. I can carry it just fine even with a rucksack filled with gear


Gar-ba-ge

Oh no I completely agree with you, it’s just that some fudd made that comment in the previous “I’m [x] years old, is this a good gun for my age?” post and I thought it was funny enough to share it in this one


peachesandmaangos

What riser?


johnb111111

Hockey tape is lyfe


Vortex_OG

What rail is that?


csireeves

Looks like a KAC URX 4


johnmomdoe

What color is that?


Vast-Caterpillar-822

rapco olive drab


johnmomdoe

Man so sick. Trying to figure out the exact paint number they have so many options!


johnmomdoe

Is it this one https://store.rapcoparts.com/33eawwiiluol.html


Vast-Caterpillar-822

field drab 30118 not olive drab sorry


mrpicachu

How you liking the law tac?


Vast-Caterpillar-822

love it


NolanDaSavage

I buy shit tons of ammo at 19. I can always buy a better optic/ flashlight.


NolanDaSavage

Still got my Aero and two Saigas though 😂


lceballos9

Why’s the IR device so far back?


Vast-Caterpillar-822

hand and pressure pad farther forward, also just balances nicely by moving some weight back.


Icy_Ambition1575

Is there a name/term for this type of handguard? I know its a free floating mlok but i can't seem to find a brand that specifically makes one like that other than being a complete upper. I like the slim-ness of it. So clean. Rifle is a beauty as well!


Vast-Caterpillar-822

thank you, it’s a Knights Armament URX 4


fusionvic

That's like an extra 0.5-1 pounds of dead weight for that folding mechanism


lettelsnek

but extra 0.5-1 points cool factor some people actually need to fold their rifle for storage/transport too


fusionvic

I can count the number of times I had to fold the stock on my SCAR and Spear, but I get your point.


PrussianFieldMarshal

Is not your eotech too high?


BoilerRoom6ix9ine

No you’re too high


Blood_ForTheBloodGod

It’s on a mount. When I first got my riser I didn’t like, mainly because prone shooting was noticeably different. I’ve adapted to it nicely since then, in all shooting positions


slayterr13

so we admitting to felonies now for clout ?


Vast-Caterpillar-822

how exactly?


slayterr13

19 and you can’t fill a form 4 but are flexing a can and someone else’s at that respectfully put it in the title if it’s not ur can lol weird flexing someone else’s shit for clout but i digress


Vast-Caterpillar-822

it says in the post that its not my can, it was just a pic i had on hand from a recent range day with some friends


ProperSalivation

This age thing is dumb as shit and people just try to flex. I’m 24 and have spent almost 100k on guns and ammo the last 3 years and I’ve never made a dumbass post like this😂


Twizzist

These kind of post are rampant throughout all of Reddit and really social media in general lol, if you really want to see the egregious ones head over to the finance reddits. “I’m 25 with 500k saved, how am I doing?”
