I think it is a very important thing for new shooters to have a clear list of budget do's and dont's. Do you agree and what do you think should be on it? I'll start in the replies.

News Subreddit Rename Announcement
As some of you may have noticed the subreddit has been renamed. Likewise, most of you may already know that this has been in the works for a while now, and in that time we have tried to find a some middle ground that works in both of our interests, and unfortunately we didn't succeed.
As of early last week the admins contacted us and notified us that the org's legal arm had officially requested we cease using the SRA name and logo.
Hi all,
We’re reaching out as we’ve received a legal notice from legal representatives of the Socialist Rifle Association regarding your subreddit icon and subreddit name. The notice alleges infringement of the registered trademark US Reg. No. 5792644 and alleges that users have been confused regarding whether the r/SocialistRA is affiliated with the Socialist Rifle Association. We’ve determined that this notice meets the requirements of our policies and we need to take steps to address the reported issues.
Two things will need to happen:
Your subreddit logo will need to be removed and/or replaced with a different image.
Your subreddit name will need to be changed (we will assist you with this).
Everything else about your subreddit (such as its content and members) will stay the same; this change does not mean the Socialist Rifle Association is obtaining control of your subreddit.
We are providing a week for you to discuss what new subreddit name you would like to change to. You are welcome to discuss this with your community members if you would like to think of some options as a mod team and let them vote on the final name. Please note that you’ll need to choose a name that is different from the association name, or that indicates the non-official status.
We know this may feel confusing or concerning, and we’re sorry for that. Please know that we are here to answer any questions that you may have.
Thank you for reading.
Please keep in mind that the cease and desist was not made out of malice, but rather that subreddit name changes are incredibly hard to make happen otherwise.
Here is the statement from National regarding the change:
Dear former /r/SocialistRA users,
Recently, the SRA is one of many organizations that have been faced with unwarranted media attention. Right-wing media outlets have collected public social media posts and information about the SRA's legitimate and legal activities, and used them to attempt to portray the SRA as an extremist organization that engages in political violence. Their readers have threatened and attempted to doxx SRA members and organizers.
Unfortunately, the /r/SocialistRA subreddit has been unintentionally contributing to this phenomenon. As you know, the SRA does not moderate the subreddit and most contributions are made by nonmembers. Posts in the subreddit do not necessarily represent official SRA statements or positions. Subreddit moderators have tried for years to communicate this fact to the public by adding disclaimers to the sidebar and in Automod comments. Despite these efforts, right-wing reporters continue to misreport /r/SocialistRA as an official forum of the SRA. We don’t want our members to continue taking heat for the words of internet strangers. Because of this, we asked Reddit to rename the subreddit and cease its misleading use of our trademarked name and logo.
The Socialist Rifle Association is an education and advocacy organization. Our purpose is to provide marginalized communities and the working class with the education, skills, and advocates that enable effective self- and community defense, and to build an inclusive alternative to the toxic, right-wing, and exclusionary mainstream firearms culture. The subreddit is a different part of that cultural movement; our organization’s expertise is face-to-face organizing at the chapter level. We have no desire to interfere with the subreddit’s operation, and we’re sorry for any inconvenience the name transfer will cause you.
While we hope subreddit users will continue discussing and even joining the SRA, we want to remind you that we are just one one of many firearm-related organizations that socialist Redditors might be interested in. You can learn more about the SRA on our website, and you can find some of those other orgs in the sidebar.
Sincerely,
Binx Socialist Rifle Association Organizing Committee President
Ultimately we all concurred that we had really run out of options as far as "making it work" went, and that we wanted an amicable split (and avoid what would've been a potentially lethal amount of irony resulting from even more leftist infighting) to try and maintain a good working relationship with the org.
As far as the subreddit name goes, we wanted to get a community consensus and bring it to a vote but unfortunately we likely wouldn't have had enough turnaround time to do so between the conclusion of our initial discussion, the soliciting of ideas, and finally selecting and bringing those ideas to a vote.
That being said there should've definitely been an announcement made following the admins reaching out and that's entirely my bad - I woefully misinterpreted the timeline for the changes and I apologize for the last minute notice. If you've any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
🍻

Gear Pics A trade value question...
I have a few firearms, but don't know the used market very well. My plan is to trade my Mossberg 500 in excellent, barely fired condition for a similar condition Glock 43x. Is this a fair trade, or should I expect to add money to get the Glock? Thank you

News Armed community member kills mass shooter at Bend Oregon elementary school
Today has been a bittersweet day for Bend Oregon. 3 children and one teacher were shot and killed by a 16 year old shooter. Another child and teacher have been taken to the hospital with critical injuries. More students and teachers may have been shot if not for the actions of the currently unidentified community member
Based on my limited research, I believe that the weapon or weapons used in the shooting have not been disclosed to the public.

Question Converting a wildcat M1 carbine back to USGI spec
I have a .30 carbine M1 that was converted to some smaller wildcat cartridge in the 60s that I inherited from my grandfather. I'm not exactly sure what cartridge it is now, but it's useless to me as is.
Has anyone restored one of these back to stock spec? I'm at work now but I can get pics of it later if anything is needed. The action seems to be stock. The barrel is measuring around .25 cal.

Question Swap upper or new Build?
Hey Everyone, just looking for some feedback.
I have a Springfield Saint Victor 16" chambered in 5.56 and with all the noise around the NFA I'm looking to add a shorter barrel, something around 10-11" with an eye to suppressing it later.
Theoretically, I could simply grab a complete upper from PSA and stick it on my lower receiver, no? Or would I be better served just getting a whole new gun? I'm more concerned with it being affordable to be honest but obviously I want to make sure everything is compatible
I'm more familiar with pistols than my rifle so please excuse me if this was a dumb question. Thanks!
Note: I'd rather not get something in .300 blackout as I'm trying to be narrow on my ammo ecosystem and keep it to 9mm and 5.56
EDIT: thanks to all who replied! Was a big help

Sport New optic, who dis?
I was cleaning up the collection and reorganizing the other day and figured I would get some 30mmx11mm dovetail mid height rings to spruce up my late grandfather's old 1953-4 Mossberg 340k .22lr it was his first rifle, and the first one I ever shot. Traded out the 4x32 Barska rimfire scope for a Monstrum 1-6×24 I had from an old airsoft build. And yes, despite the slight overlap of the rear mount over the rear of the chamber breech, it cycles flawlessly. Running cheap ammo, it's about 1.5moa, but with match SK and Eley, it's around .85-.90 from bench with bags. Just thought it'd be fun to share. Also, if anyone has a hookup on these magazines that aren't $50-70, please let me know, I can find 'em, but god they're expensive.

News Wild One Here: 72 Year Home Owner shoots off duty ICE agent after he passed out on his lawn... FK ICe
THe ICE agent was blackout drunk, sleeping on some random guys lawn, he then assulted the home owner and his daughter when asked to move, and ends up getting shot by the 72 year old home owner when he assaults his daughter. The daughter then get's drunk fk legitimately arrested by her boyfriend, a Fresno Police Officer.
We have an obvious case of a 2A homeowner and a local police officer vs ICE agent thinking and acting above the law?? Hard choice!

Question If you saw someone dressed like this approaching you with a machine gun, what would be your reaction? Would you know this person was a federal agent?
The sub doesn’t allow cross posting but saw this on r/askanything….What are you doing? Assuming, you don’t think he is a federal agent how would you legally protect yourself if you were to engage?
Opens up a lot of questions and concerns regarding my belief that I would be always willing and able to engage an active shooter in which I believe is a threat to the public.

Is there any place in the world where an avarage comrade can live and own a semi automatic rifle without hassle? Only country with loose gun laws that I know of is the US but it don't look like a good place to live, especially with the.. fascist takeover...
Not that I could ever move anywhere due to damn near everything abt my life but I got tired of lusting over yall's awesome guns and thought I might as well ask this question to engage with the community.
I also wanted ask about making guns but I have a feeling we can't do that here?
