Dontcha just luv the gun pic threads, especially the SHTF ones?

A firearm is only a tool, but some are really cool.

hrmn... might need to add such a beastie to my ever-refining AK.

I was considering swapping out the 5mW red laser for a 100mW green laser, but I have not yet found a green classIIIb in a targeting configuration.

Forgive my ignorance on this issue, I'm Canadian. I just can't believe anyone in the US would agree to allow this or even try to get this to happen. You've all seen what's happened in Canada with attempts at gun control...it doesn't work. The people don't abide by it, police don't enforce it and the government doesn't know how to use it. Any further attempts to stiffen laws in Canada would be rejected by the entire populace.

where the [expletive] didja get a military-barrel P90???

[Pyro7480]

What is your opinion of the SKS?

[King Prout]

?

Very nice, sir. I have a moderately customized AK as well, but prefer my CAR-15 in a pinch. Your AK looks very well done. Kudos.

[umgud]

Sorry, I can't respond to that question.

[King Prout]

damned good rifle, especially for the price.
highly accurate to 300M without scope.
useful range out to about 600M with scope.
good re-stock kits available.
very reliable and easy to maintain.

[King Prout]

understood. go ahead and gloat, though.

[hiredhand]

Yeah...it's like "show and tell". :-)

[hiredhand]

Alrighty now...I KNOW what it "looks like", but the mag up on top looks suspiciously like it's loaded with .22LRs. What is it? :-)

[King Prout]

thanks.

the one thing I do not like about AKs is the dratted "hook and rotate" magazine insertion. I'd FAR prefer an honest magazine well that you could simply slap a mag into. A second or two less time on reload, plus less complexity, could spell the difference between getting the job done and getting done by the job.

it's a mod I'm slowly mulling.

[King Prout]

the P90 is a very small bore centerfire rifle. 5.7mm IIRC, with a smaller case max-dia than the 5.56mm/.223

[King Prout]

good article, good comments, and more than a little gun-porn

[hiredhand]

Oh you REALLY want to pick up a GOOD weapons light! It makes a BIG difference! When I went looking for a good light, I looked at SureFire first, and the price just put me off. I'm not paying $300+ for a stinking flashlight and mount no matter WHAT!. So I called a LEO buddy of mine and asked what they were buying. He was on an HRT (hostage rescue team) at the time, and he told me about the Pelican M-6. It was just under $50.00 and the last time I checked recently, the price hadn't changed much. The mount will run you $25.00 or $30.00...depending on which brand you buy.

The light "can" give you a full 2.5 seconds in an encounter, and that much time in those "pre gunfight" moments is a HUGE advantage!

[King Prout]

taken under advisement.

the next aftermarket doohicky of note that I shall add will be an Eotech sight.

[King Prout]

Woah! Hold up! Did you convert that AK to bullpup?!

yes. actually, it was IN the bullpup kit when I bought it. whoever installed it screwed the pooch, bigtime, so I was able to get the whole shebang for $300 total (did some research - that's less than the cost of the kit, and the gun itself is about twice that, so i got it for a steal)

It took me about an hour of puzzling, about four bucks at a hardware store, and less than ten minutes of labor to fix the screwup (and, as a side-project, add a trigger-pull adjustment mechanism to the wire trigger-extension)

been refining it ever since

It spits brass up to 45 feet in a 30degree arc, so I had to build a brass-catcher out of sheet aluminum and fiberglas... and having a brass-catcher blocking the bolt-carrier handle necessitated making a forward-mounted charging handle... it just keeps going.

I live exactly where Charley, Frances and Jeanne crossed paths. We had no looting, (that was reported), because this part of the country is well armed. An armed society is a polite society.
