Or reloading it ... except for all the prep.
That too, I've been slacking on that
With all the 45/70 brass I am winning on GB and getting good deals on, we might soon be able to shoot a Gatling Gun.
I keep bidding $60 on 100 round lots with 5+days and once in a while I win one. I have 120 cases on the way, and 500 already at home (roughly 400 reloaded).

Waiting for TSUSA to restock the Republic. Just finished off almost all my Tulammo, I've probably shot 5-7000 rounds of it in the last year or so. People trash tula but I've had literally zero malfunctions I can remember. No, it's not as accurate as mil spec stuff, but I couldn't tell unless I was bench shooting for accuracy. Not a tangable difference if you are shooting unsupported or doing any kind of drills or something.
Tula is AWESOME. I shoot it in all my guns.

Tula gets a bad rap. Plenty accurate, runs in all my garbage. I have gotten the stink eye in a couple of courses using it, but it never held me back.

You and me both. I was just telling the wife I need to reload more. I like to keep that a cold weather activity if I can help it.
Those are all the idiots thinking "ugh, steel foreign ammo is bad" ... because they hear it from other idiots that hear it from other idiots that read some troll post in a forum 9 years ago.

I don't really shoot ARs and never used it an appreciable amount in .223, but I'm willing to assume the issue is crappy guns not running the ammo vs the ammo itself..
Especially for AK,s I don't get the hate to run tula. It's what they were designed to run on.

Bargain, flint machines will suck and be finicky no matter what. They will blame whatever they can for their crap not running, including steel ammo. But, the cheap pricks won't buy brass 5.56 cause it's .60cpr.
Then you have all the fancy pants that wont run steel in their LMT and DD, because it will ruin the gun in 150 rounds. Pfft.
This is 60% of the fudd lore that you hear in the 2a community.
Those are the best.
You did the right thing.

The Creedmoor Sports ammo they sell is really good stuff! All brand name bullets and brass, and the .223 and 6.5 of I've shot is very consistent - for about half the price of similar quality match ammo. For these .30-06 rounds it would cost about $1.30 for the Lapua brass and $.45 for the Scenar bullet. Add in primer and powder and you're way beyond the $1.50 delivered cost per round. Plus you get some nice brass to reload!

While this isn't the GQ thread per-se,
this seems on-point:
Anthony Sinclair's "Goldfinger Suit" lets you dress like Bond – with stitch-perfect authenticity
Ahead of No Time To Die, 007's original tailor is offering a meticulous recreation of one of the spy's most iconic outfits…
You're not looking at the big picture:
If it's a SHTF situation,
and you survive,
you'll find all the ammo and AR's you want just laying around.
As for maintenance...

As much as I would rather hump around my AK74 in a situation that requires me to hump it around, I would have to bring my AR instead.. Battlefield pickups will be littered with AR parts and ammo... AK74's , not so much.
Good deal on that 30.06 ammo though, no surprise it sold out quick.
Agreed. Definitely a very fair price for the quality.

Keep your eyes open for it. Sometimes the CMP has ammo pop up again shortly after a sell-out...

An AR is a no-brainer if you live in these United States. Learning how to use/maintain/repair is important too.
An AK is great also, but if it could be Only One? AR...
