guns and weapons wanted

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

sigs are good weapons, I know a lot of professionals also use those. I've never shot a sig myself.

It's good that the handguns make changes and have competition, it makes for some really good advances.

My sister lives in knoxville, I might have written that before, but she has a .38. she had a permit here but she moved down there in '01 and has never done anything about being certified, she still carrys it in her vehicle loaded though, even though I tell her not to.

She's in for a day on her way to washington with my parents and nephew from tx, we all went shootin last night in bland county up on a mountain. We had a really good time.

She said the xd caused a lot of discomfort in her left hand though, and didn't finish the magazine, to much of a pop for her.

[tom 10]

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

tom do you any AKs?

[tom 10]

i just have one now..i bought a bulgarian slr-95 milled reciever and took it to a custom machine gun builder and he reworked and retooled several internal parts and put the gun back to 'original' ak-47 status and its GORGEOUS and functions flawless...has beautiful wood..just lovely....lol what do you have??

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

I just figured you did, I'm in the market for a battle rifle in .308 power caliber. Reads like a really good rifle you have.

I've never really cared for having an ak but I'm reconsidering it because of my laziness at cleaning a weapon or maintaining it in the woods. I wouldn't mind something I could plow a field with when I'm in the woods with my dogs and know it would still shoot. Something tough that field strips and functions easy.

I've been considering the springfield socom 16 or the scout squad, but while tough as you know they aren't quite as simple as ak s, and they are in the 1,500 $ range.

I figured you had an ak in your arsenal though.

[BigD4VT 11]

You guys are just plain scary!

[tom 10]

i have a match Springfield M14 as well, heavy gun but proven manstopper..that socom would be sweet but from what you are telling me you want to do with the gun and the caliber you want, id suggest a GOOD AK47..the key is GOOD, quality goes a long way with functioning perfectly..these Romanian ones on the market are junk, the WASR-10 version of them are absolutely worthless, some of the ones made in the Cugir arsenal in Romania are ok but overall, you'd be happier spending about 600-900 and get one that you know will work and last when ya need it and the 7.62 rnd is pretty decent as well, the ammo is inexpensive ( i have a 75 rnd drum on mine)....i have 2 colt AR 15's one of them all 'blinged' out with the accessories and i swear by it, and that 223 is a wicked rnd to be so small, but consider a Bushmaster or soemthing in the AR series, some of them come in 7.62 as well, they just require a lil more TLC in the field than the Ak's...lol

[tom 10]

hey BigD, my neighbors feel the same way...whats up with that???/ hahaha

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

I've been an ar fan for years, from the army, and I considered an ar-10 for these purposes in '04, but I was just never sold on 1. For this anyhow.

I'm considering the russian vepr k, in 7.62, I've read nothing but good things about them, aside from they are somewhat heavy.

[ghs84 10]

is the s&w 500 mag the most powerful handgun in the world?

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

that I'm not certain, as with anything people have different opinions. tom might know or have an opinion though, I'd only be guessing.

[tom 10]

when the 500 was introduced it was billed as the mot powerful handgun in the world some people take 'powerful' and twist it to fit their advertisement, some refer to velocity, energy, size, powder etc, so you might have several guns that are best in one category and all lay claim to the most powerful title..that bein said, i shot one last month, and to me, makin that gun was just a marketing tool, it was heavy, trigger pull was horrendous, recoil will snap your wrist and if you are thinking of a quick second shot, forget it the gun is impossible to hold close to target with that recoil and the muzzle flash nearly blinded me..ammo, i was told was close to $1.65 a ROUND and who needs that on top of a $1000 gun??..the gun MIGHT see some usefulness in bear country as a defensive weapon but other than that, i see lil use for it, even in a hunting format...just my opinion tho..

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

what was it intended for exactly?
