I'm considering buying one of these, but there's a few things I need to consider, hopefully y'all can give me some insight as well. Looking for rifle/carbine, not the pistol.
Price - everything is selling for hundreds more than they were even a few months ago. It's almost as ridiculous as video card prices. Prices will go back down eventually, but who knows when.
ARX100 is what I've been leaning towards because it is the cheaper of the two. Problem is less customization, and supposedly there is accuracy issues which are hit or miss. From what I've read, it is the cleaner of the two. I can find it for $1400. Last year, you could find it for $900.
Bren 2 is what I really want. Price is the major drawback. More aftermarket parts. Handguard is longer, so more places to put doodads. Price is about $2200. No clue what they were selling for last year.
Or any other suggestions for a gas piston 5.56 rifle that's less than $2000. Anything around $1400, so I can put my Biden bux to use.
I use these simple charcoal baskets, they're like $10-15. Start the charcoal, lump, with a chimney, and then dump them into the baskets all the way to one side of the grill. Cover, and let chill for 7-10 minutes.
I usually pull the meat out to reach room temperature about an hour before grilling. Salt and season 20 minutes prior to grilling.
Then put pork chops on the cool side of the grill, cover, let sit for 4-5 minutes, flip, cover, let sit 4-5 minutes longer. Uncover, put directly over charcoal for 1:30, flip, 1:30, pull off the grill and eat.
I do this with steaks too. With the pork chops when sitting on the cool side, I had them about halfway from the edge to the charcoal. With steaks I'd usually have them closer to the edge of the grill, depending on thickness.
