What was your very first firearm?
forsaken352 replied to Tundra1's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I was about 5 or 6, and it was a Christmas gift from my parents. It's a Marlin 60 Stainless Steel. It is the one and only firearm which means so much to me that I will never sell or trade it. When I was around 12, my parents gave me a 20 gauge NEF as another Christmas gift, which I did sell, and I do regret that. Can only hope it's in good hands wherever it ended up. -
Wellll, you did ask, but it's a wee bit over what you wanted to spend... http://www.fulton-armory.com/fultonarmoryusriflecal762mmm14-1-1-1-1.aspx As far as a semi auto .22, I would say just single feed until you're comfortable giving them semi-auto. The 10/22 is very difficult to beat. It's accurate, not too expensive, and the aftermarket support is through the roof. Definitely would choose the Mini for NY. They've butchered the AR-15 into something that looks like it belongs in a Dr. Seuss book.

I've heard Mini's suffer a bit in the accuracy department. You're drawn to the Mini, I'm sure because of the action, or perhaps the looks of it? My vote is for the M1A. She's heavy, but very accurate, it looks and functions the same (some parts are different between the two), and chambered for 7.62Nato/.308. If you still must have a 5.56, though, then I vote for the IWI Tavor. I don't even reach for the AR anymore.. For a 12 Gauge, like Heartbreaker said, the 500/590 is difficult to beat, and I wholeheartedly agree, the new Remingtons suck. Lastly, +1 more on the 10/22.

Ar15 pistol opinions
forsaken352 replied to Sdustin's topic in Other Weapons - RIFLES (non-AK based)
For sure get the cheaper one if you want 9mm. The Quarter Circle 10 is good if you wanted .45, and I just threw that out there as an alternative, and since .45 is subsonic, whereas 9mm requires dedicated loads for subsonic. I only threw the idea of a suppressor out there because, I don't know about you, but I find short barreled firearms to be somewhat obnoxiously loud, even with ear plugs. Besides, it's always fun to be able to run a firearm without hearing protection. Either way, it'll be cool whichever way you decide to go. Don't forget to take some pictures when done to share with the -
Ar15 pistol opinions
forsaken352 replied to Sdustin's topic in Other Weapons - RIFLES (non-AK based)
Is a suppressor an option for you? You could make a badass 9, or even a .45 (almost always subsonic) with a Quarter Circle 10 lower (uses Glock mags). Honestly, I think the answer to your question is going to be based solely upon personal opinions, and mine is of the SBR/suppressed pistol caliber. -
Are we talking an already converted Saiga 12, or are you asking what the advantage is of converting it and using a folding stock? If you're going to put any money into your firearm, convert it. There are many sources of information regarding the conversion process, and you can do it yourself, or I'm sure there are still places who will do the conversion for you if sent off. The way the Saiga's were imported is in a "sporterized" configuration, but the Saiga is an AK'ish based firearm. You're basically returning it to its former glory by getting it converted, and it does feel a lot better when

Damn and I was just about to purchase a 19. I like the option of the 33 rounders. Wouldn't let it deter you. Some people just have a bad experience with them, but I'd bet that the vast majority have a positive experience with Glocks, myself included. I've been using a 19 suppressed and un-suppressed for awhile. The only time it "hiccups" is when I'm running Remington UMC with the suppressor. Has a tendency to fail to feed and occasionally stove-pipe. It's just the ammunition, though, as I understand UMC to be underpowered. All else has been 100%, runs my HST's like a champ.

Finally Joining....
forsaken352 replied to DLT's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Welcome to the club! You wanna talk about a squirrel-gettin' sum' bitch, it's the 10/22. Toss a can on one, and it becomes pellet gun status decibel-wise. Here's my takedown: -
If I remember correctly, the 12 round drum was alright. Unsure about seating on a closed bolt, but I imagine it would be difficult as well. I must ask, though, why not just pick up a couple 10 round AGP, 12 round SGM, or (if you want bullet proof mags) 8 round CSSpecs? Drums are cool and all, but like you said, they are bulky and cumbersome. 10 round stick mags are much easier to handle, and you can certainly carry more stick mags than drums as a result.

Too much for a gun…….
forsaken352 replied to SHOTGUN MESIAH's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Well, so far my most expensive is ~$5,000.00. However, that is a transferable Cobray M11A1. I knew when I purchased it that I "could" sell it for a profit in a few years, but I kind of like it. As far as limits go, guns are my one hobby, so I like to have fun at times. I really wanted an M82A1, but the more I look at it, the more I wonder what makes it worth $9,000.00 (local shop quoted me that when I asked about it). That IS over my limit. Quite a bit over. -
I think you meant "extractor".

Normal. Mine does the same.

The advantage to ordering each piece individually would be that you get everything you want, and nothing you don't. You choose what goes into your rifle. However, it could end up costing more than a kit, especially if it's from multiple sources. What I mean by "AK specific" is: Notice on the left arrow, that entire piece of metal protruding from your rear trunnion is your stock tang. On some kits, they "might" have a stock which uses something like this: That is an internal stock adapter. Basically, you remove the tang altogether, file it flush with the rear trunnion, slid

Since you're not getting any bites, I'll take a crack at it, but just know I've only done 3 conversions in my life. Also, each one was with parts ordered individually, not in a kit. So, first thing's first. I'm going to assume you know your local laws, and what you plan to do is legal in your area. I'm also going to assume that you're looking for a trigger conversion kit, and not an external receiver block pistol grip kit. My answer for you is, go with whichever you like. They all work. Just be aware that some kits may include a stock and adapter which is meant for removing the "tang"

Oh, sure, I'll add a few things. SBR = Short Barrel Rifle (Under 16" barrel length measure from bolt face on a closed bolt to end of muzzle, not including any non permanent muzzle attachments, or under 26" overall length with stock unfolded, if applicable) SBS = Short Barrel Shotgun (Under 18" barrel measured the same as above, or 26" overall) AOW = Any Other Weapon (This would include things such as a pistol with a vertical grip, but no stock, a shotgun which has never had a stock attached, but is less than 18" barrel/26" overall such as the Serbu Super Shorty, etc.) DD = Dest

Not Sure If Serious...

It could be either she's so retarded she should not be trusted with a pillow, or she's making fun of this idiot: -
Filled out their new form, and used $529 as purchase and asking price. Seems about right considering OpticsPlanet has them for $539 right now, as well as your reasoning above. Hoping they won't give me any shit about the price since the HWS and magnifier came in a package together, and the serial number might show that. How else am I supposed to give them a purchase price other than current retail of the HWS if they don't want the entire HHS? Annoying to say the least, but at least a form 4 got approved yesterday, so there's that.
