[video=youtube;mAgDKR0L2RA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAgDKR0L2RA[/video] Never seen a .22 MAG belt gun before, looks awesome. I want a RC tank or airplane to put this in! [editline]11th April 2015[/editline] [video=youtube;9hL8rjhWJts]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hL8rjhWJts[/video]

I'll be a happy man when someone makes a small M1 Garand that accepts enbloc clips that have .17HMR or .22LR Which reminds me... Has anyone here tried to reload .22LR with crushed matchheads for a primer, making a lead minie ball and going from there?

You seem to be all over the home made guns in the coolest/ugliest weapons thread.

Picked up this beauty from Cabelas today for $430. [IMG_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/VD413W.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/QeV9fv.jpg[/img_thumb]

welcome to the family

I tried Glocks. They're nice guns, but I can't hit shit with them. The XD on the other hand is great for me.

[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;47508847]I tried Glocks. They're nice guns, but I can't hit shit with them. The XD on the other hand is great for me.[/QUOTE] Its okay. Neither can cops. Unless they are shooting at people who are unarmed and fleeing. HAH. EDIT: Oh you guys are no fun, it was a joke.

A .416 what?

One could assume he means an HK 416.

Can anyone here help me with my hunt for a Beretta Combat Combo? I guess it is a lot harder to get then I originally thought.

[QUOTE=MR-X;47511710]Can anyone here help me with my hunt for a Beretta Combat Combo?

Yeah, I may just look for that or a regular one and change the parts as i go.

All I see when I read half this thread: "Hey guys look at how much I spend on this. -Oh that's nice, *drops $700* check out this thing I just bought. Yeah that's cool but did you see the new accessory that just came out? --*Takes out second mortgage* You two won't believe what I just picked up!!1"

On the subject of new toys, I'm thinking of selling off my Saiga 12 to help fund a PTR 91 GI from Atlantic Firearms. Any one know how good the PTRs are?

You should hang around car guys.

[QUOTE=Original User;47515185]Is the Saiga 12 fun? I want one of those based currently on looks currently.[/QUOTE] Yes. I use only slugs with it though, so I don't know if it runs cheap stuff. It's in import configuration and kicks about as hard a standard pump shotgun with a recoil pad. I like it because it has some form of iron sights over my other shotguns. I'm thinking of selling it since it would sell for more and move faster than my 870 or 590.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;47515190]Dude, you think that's bad? You should hang around car guys.[/QUOTE] It's pretty bad on both sides, just most people here aren't dropping $15,000 on a custom-made competition shotgun.

For that amount of dosh, might as well go the whole 9 yards and buy a M16 receiver.

Any one know how good the PTRs are?[/QUOTE] PTRs are good, they eat anything, but the kick more than other comparable .308 semi-autos and they also throw the brass further. Mags are dirt cheap, accessories are HK overpriced, barrel threading is non-standard. Rollers have to be replaced for a slightly larger set every so many rounds. Get one with the welded top rail unless you aren't going to put optics on it ever. No sure how large your hands are, but the wide forend is much more comfortable than the skinny plastic ones. Sell your Saiga and jack up the price since they aren't imported anymore. VEPR 12s are better anyway; the Saigas had issues with some ammo because of the gas system whereas the VEPRs don't. They have a puck instead of an adjustable gas system.

I was planning on the railed version Atlantic is offering [URL]https://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/ptr-gi-rail-detail.html?Itemid=0[/URL]. For $880, a welded rail and three mags ain't bad especially considering how my local shops price shit. I was thinking of putting the Saiga on GB with a buy now of $750 and a start of $500.

Here is a comparison of what new ones are going for: [url]http://www.slickguns.com/search/apachesolr_search/saiga%2012?op=[/url] As for the PTR, get one of these, I love them on my AKs: [url]http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/MANTICORE-NIGHTBRAKE-FOR-HK-WITH-RETAINER-SPRING-U-S-MADE-2p3509.htm[/url] And as for mags, if you want a metric shite tonne, check this out; 104 beater mags for $150 [url]http://www.robertrtg.com/store/pc/HK91-G3-104-MAG-BEATER-PACK-24p2030.htm[/url]

[QUOTE=Nothitler;47515367]Sounds to me you're just pissy that you failed your mental examination and can't get your license yet.[/QUOTE] I wonder who's alt this is. And no, it's the fact that this hobby sucks the cash out of everyone.
