My older brother taught me a good trick when I was just a young man. Buy all the women in your life those real fancy Christmas cards, the lovey dovey mushy ones and they tend to overlook the new toys that we buy for ourselves. Of course remember to say that the toy was on a YEAR END SALE and that you didn’t pay FULL PRICE.

Same here........doubles and drilling’s are beautiful things to behold .

I have a searcy double in 460 Weatherby mag that was a stopping gun by design. Phenolic stock etc .....real rugged build for a professional guide buddy of mine when I was stationed in alaska. He fell on hard times and I was there with the cash at the right time and got it cheap !

No frills, plain jane double , all business !

My favorite here try this gun these days at the range .....:o)

I never really trophy hunt thus if I can’t make fajitas out of it I don’t hunt it. I used to pack a simple Rem 870 Pump riot gun loaded with slugs as my bear defense when stationed up in AK. A friend mentioned that it was far better to have TWO (2) firing pins that one (1) thus I swapped the 870 for a Old US Gun Company Knickerbocker that had ummmm a barely legal set of barrels left on it and loaded that with slugs . Good short easy handling camp & fishing rig.

Poor Boy Howdah per se !

I like the 460 Weatherby double better though as I have it and it works well and I have zero problems with the recoil it generates.

The Knickerbocker is still taken as a camp gun as well for others to use if needed......

FNH solved that problem.....

The P90 ejects straight down...and the FN2000 pushes the cases out from the front of the gun....

I’d hope the Tavor borrows one of the two ideas...

Well at least you didn't refer to us as REMF's.

First time I saw an M-16 was in Okinawa carried by an Air Force AP. He was guarding a parked B-52 (with bomb bay doors closed.)

My unit had M-14's, no M-16's.

The Tavor has ejection ports, one on each side of the receiver. However, you have to partially field strip the piece and reverse a part to change ejection sides.

If you’re left handed, fine, but if you’re in a firefight, that’s not the time to disassemble your weapon just so you can shoot from left side cover.

Roger Moore acted the pompus fop and dandy.

There’s the WWII M3A “grease gun”. It could be converted in the field from .45 ACP to German 9mm.

Onlookers have used the 'left side cover/shooting left handed' argument against bullpups for years. Its a spurious argument.

Corners don't provide any useful cover except concealment because corners are the easiest part of a structure to shoot through. That's why the modern tactic is to 'slice the pie' and never place yourself right where two surfaces meet in a corner. Another bad thing about corners is that they enhance the enemy's sight picture of you. Enemy bullets also ride down walls pretty well if the deflection is shallow, so it's never a good idea to shoot from a stationary corner in MOUT. Either get to the roof (best of all options), or go through the building from the inside creating a breach if necessary.

Bullpups are designed to facilitate entering and exiting a vehicle with haste.

ny word on springfield magazines reliability and ability or do I have to go test em myself to destruction

They're all I use. Pricey, but worth it. I've had some issues with the Korean Mil-Spec ones however. But the genuine SA mags work like a charm.

But don't take my word, by all means test 'em.

Dealer had a used FN P90 on the shelf as well for 1700$

My dealer has a brand new one for just about that...
