Other Sports Off Season Lets Talk Guns - Page 70

Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.

Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?

Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

The ACR is definitely cheaper...by six or seven hundred. I'll have to research the differences.

I always see one of those P90's at a local gun store. I think that'd be fun to shoot. They use to or still might have a FN2000 also.

That's a FAMAS I think.

Yeah I know. I was afraid that's how my post read though.

I was just being awesome and referring to goofy guns we civilians would never buy.

Christ looks totally different to me. Has no simularities to a Bullpup design gun.

Good deer hunting ammo that's relatively inexpensive and easy to get? I like 6.5x55, commonly called 'Swedish Mauser' ammo. Flat shooting, I have no trouble finding ammo (tho' I tend to stock up when I find a decent price $18-22ish). It's an old WWI era round, interesting because the 'lead' is very long, and has 'sectional density' out the wazoo. End result, easy to shoot round that hits like a hammer. The swedes use it to hunt 'elk' (what we call moose over here). Flat shooting, easy on the shoulder, lots of boom downrange. I've got a couple of the old Swedish surplus mausers, they're in excellent shape - and the metalcraft on these old guns would cost thousands to build today. The Swedes marched around a lot with their rifles but haven't fought anyone for a while (Gustavus Adolphus/30 year war?) tho' there were a lot of 'volunteers' who went and helped the Finns against the Rooshians. Anyway...you can find nice 1896-1937ish surplus stuff for $300 or so, but expect people to ask a lot more at first.
If you want to spend more, I'd look at a CZ in 6.5x55 instead. I have a 'full stock' CZ 550 and really love it - probably my favorite rifle. That'll run $500 or $600 new...and I never see 'em for sale used. They're sweet shooters, w/'set' triggers. Be aware - finding rings for a scope for these is...interesting. If anyone gets one of these and wants to know more about rings, holla. I like the open sights, but as my eyes change I'll probably put a scope on one of these days. She's just SO pretty as is, I hate to mess her up.

A k98 Mauser is on my top 10 list. I will complete that list by the day that I die.

Garand, m1 carbine, Mauser, Ak-47, m16 or m4, Ariaska type 99 or 38, 1911, Springfield 1903, can't remember the other two.

I'd love to have $1200-1500 to spend on a luger.

Pay no attention to that list, he can order any color you want. If you want a camo pattern, the price goes up to $350.

My gun was done in the matte Blackhawk Coyote Tan.

Also, be warned, he will want 30 days to get everything done so if you're dying to go shoot the gun, do it before you get the Dura Coat.

So if I tell him that I want the same "dark earth" color that you can get on a SCAR, he could probably do it? Would you get any "credit" with him for referrals? If so, I can give him your name when the time comes.
