[QUOTE=Bean-O;20445170]It started with the guy who did weapon models for HL1 and the original CS. He was left handed so he modeled them in the left hand and flipped them. People have been doing that ever since because it looks cooler.
The STALKER series is all messed up. They have ejection ports and scope mounts where they don't belong, sometimes in ways where it clearly doesn't work. For instance all weapons have ejection ports on BOTH sides.[/QUOTE]
My favorite is when they use the forward assist on the AR as a charging handle.
[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;20443962]get an aero precision lower (really popular atm for their cost and quality) and build your dream AR- it'd be cheaper and easier that way provided you have some semblance of ability with hand tools. Plus, you can build it on your own time when you can afford the next top-of-the-line component.[/QUOTE]
Can you recommend some good sites to check this stuff out? I googled Aeros and found a couple places but it'd be nice having some second opinions on where to buy what I need, if I go for building one.

I don't really know a whole lot about building ARs, but there's a shitload of sites that deal with it. After getting the lower you'll want to get a decent lower parts kit (you don't need nothing really expensive unless you specifically want a match grade trigger), and if it doesn't include a buffer assembly make sure to get one of those as well. You're better off finding a good comprehensive guide.
[QUOTE=Idi Amin;20453144]Did you refinish that enfield?[/QUOTE]
Which one?
The Enfield No 4 Mk 2 is the original finish, I haven't touched it and never will. The Enfield 2A I cleaned the stock up with some steel wool and put some boiled linseed oil on it, but that's it.

Not really what you're asking for, but if you need help putting the lower together, this guide is what I used:
[url]http://www.ar15.com/content/guides/assembly/lower/[/url]
Really, I'd just buy it from the place that has it for the cheapest. I got all my parts from Midway.

rainier arms has a lot of higher-end parts but I'm not sure how good their prices hold up to other sites

Lol that's my buddy matt :P He still hasn't fired the thing cause there's no magazine available that will fit the round and it would cost a bit too much to have one custom made
I've just figured out that in 2013 I will have enough to buy a decent .22
This coincides perfectly with my plan to get a nice car and my 18th birthday.
I might get a shotgun or a 30-06 after the .22

This is what I've never understood - why are even slightly uncommon magazines so expensive. Aren't they quite simple devices after all? Just get a piece of sheet metal and twist it to place after lasercut. Add a spring and a follower.
Or is it just greedy custom shops.

JUST SELL ME THE PISTOL!
On another note though you could probably jerry-rig a standard 1911 .45 magazine for it. Just need some simple machining tools.

Reminds me of the guy who was trying to sell an FN FNAR magazine for 1000 bucks.
God damn, it's a fucking metal box with a spring and follower inside of it. I wouldn't even pay that much if it were made out of gold.
Fun stuff, there's a StG44 replica being made on the market, firing 7.92 kurz. Enjoy feeding that thing.
The Robinson XCR is the best carbine made. No disputes. Long stroke gas system, soft recoil, bullet-proof, no special tools needed to tear down everything to the last part, 3.5 pound two-stage trigger standard. Also, no sproing noise when you fire.

*insert austin powers picture here*
Question, I currently have my Yugo Sks in good working condition and I was looking at selling it and hopefully getting around 350 for it. Then I planned on buying a Ak-74. Basicly it will be a 75$ upgrade from the sks. So I'm asking opinions.

even factory magazines are pretty expensive, considering you can get AR15 magazines for way less
sig p220 magazines are like 30bux
They do technically use some of the highest grade materials available.
I mean you can keep magazines loaded virtually indefinitely without the spring losing notable power.

Any spring steel can do that. A well designed magazine prevents the spring from being overcompressed.

The problem is the length of the cartridge, It's simply just too long to fit in a standard .45 mag. We were able to put a few rounds in a .38 super mag but after 4 rounds they started to sit funny in the magazine and wouldn't feed properly when we tried to cycle them in.

Hardly.
It's not as accurate as most AR15s, it's heavier, it's more complicated, and it has a tendency to loosen its self up and throw parts off during extended shooting.
The barrel is held on by a screw.
