Wow Rob! Those look like a lot of fun in a sandpit. Nothing American made? Do you reload your own ammo?

Now that's what I'm talkn about! And I thought I was the only AK nut on WIX! Gotta love the ARSENAL w/ slabside mags :twisted:

Here's the only pic I could find at the moment of my "baby"...Kreb's Custom -104 (or atleast as close as I could get to a -104 at the time!). One of these days I'm gonna put a poly AK-100 side folder on it, but I've decided to keep the FSB and brake. That thing is a canon, you should see the flame!

AK's are definitely my favorite rifle, currently up to 5 of them! Including a Yugo M92 built by In Range, once I get around to doing the Form 4, she'll look like this! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

All .50 cals were banned for purchase by the Governator after December 31st, 2004. They need to be registered before April 30th, 2006.

Yes, 10 rounds. But if you have a "pre-ban" disintegrating belt of 11 rounds, you can add to it indefinitely as long as it never gets below 11 rounds. I do have some .50 cal cloth belts as well.

Some of you may remember that I already build and fired this:

Very nice Rob, what is the one on the left next to the shotgun?


That's a Vector Uzi with an aftermarket vertical foregrip.


B29gunner, I have an M-92 waiting in the wings down in Baton Rouge with Red Stick Firearms. It;s been sitting in their safe for a month and I still haven't made it downtown to get my fingerprint cards completed. :D Guess I need to get off my butt so I can see what kind of fireball that thing makes! 8)

I've made a promise to myself that I will get myself a Barrett M82 before the next Presidential election. I suspect it won't be long before they become restricted firearms as well.

This is a very thorough and informative article about what the UN is proposing to control arms worldwide and why it is futile.

http://news.sl/drwebsite/publish/article_20052666.shtml

Quote:
Summary: Within a nation, severe gun controls, a firearms registry, and firearms transfer controls are items that have no effect on the guns owned, used, and rented by confrontational criminals (the violent criminals who choose to confront their victims). That is because they do not apply for a firearm licence, do not buy guns from legitimate sources, do not register their guns, and do not apply for a permit to carry an illegal handgun down to the bank to rob it. As a result, such a gun control system requires heavy expenditures (in tax dollars; no known gun control system succeeds in funding itself by any known fee system). The promised "reduction in violent crime levels" just does not happen.

The negative effects of a severe gun control system include:

1. The removal of firearms from the hands of victims, and the failure to remove any firearms from the hands of violent criminals.

2. The inability of the system to point to the name, address, or identification of the gun of the violent criminal because none of those are in the system.

3. The criminal perceives the system as offering him (the criminal) protection while he is committing any violent confrontational crime, because the system has either confiscated the firearm owned by the victim, persuaded the victim to stop owning a firearms, or forced the victim to lock up his firearm separately from the ammunition. All of those effects are highly desirable from the viewpoint of the criminal, because they make it safer for him to confront his victim.

4. Severe gun control laws are especially damaging to the interests of women. Women are the preferred targets of violent criminals, as the criminal believes that a woman is less likely to be able to protect human life from criminal violence during the inevitable period of time between the beginning of the crime and the arrival of the police (usually after the criminal has left the scene, because there was no way she could call the police any earlier).
