    My tax stamp just came back on this. W00t! I have a new handguard and a polymer lower on order for it. I am also going to get a rail and try a 1-6x scope on it as well.

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Thank you for your review! From what I have read here in the USA, we are supposed to be getting a really short trigger reset (1-2mm) and really light trigger weight 3# or so (my full size has a 3# trigger). Does yours have this sort of trigger? My Strike 1 had adjustable rear sight, so no...

    1. That is by far the best condition FN49 I have ever seen so that provenance story seems likely to me. 2. I am a fan of the Strike One/Stryk pistols and am waiting on mine here (they have been held up for a few months now). I look forward to more reviews from you on it as the only people who...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    Speaking of .300 Blk, at the table I help with (local gun show) we have a Thompson Contender in .300 Whisper. I have no idea if its old enough that you would be prevented from shooting blackout out of it (no telling how old the barrel is). I had someone who was mad at me for telling them that...

    So this fell into my hands for $700 under retail. The stupid brace will be going away as soon as I get a stamp back for it.

    I dont think the Fightlite raider is long enough to be a "firearm" like the shockwave and Tac-14... is it?

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    There is an actual reason for the Mossburg Shockwave and the Tac-14: to have a weapon that is not legally a short Barreled shotgun and is generally legal. the Fightlite Raider is a pistol. its not like you cant get AR pistols already. The only advantage other than for featureless states, is...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    The only purpose I can see is if it fits into a "featureless" category in a ban state. Other than that, its pretty useless to my needs (and I need basically everything....)

    I have not tried the B&T stocks. I may grab one for a future 9mm K build. The Choate is great except when you get your nose up against the hinge while firing.

    I finally got around to getting an MLOC handguard and magpul grip. Should be easier to hold onto now.

    I really like that the Zenith is available with a threaded barrel. That helps a bit- along with being ~$1,500 less.

    I really want a 9mm HK clone (will probably get a zenith and SBR it) but they were way more expensive than the 5.56 and .308 versions (by hundreds of dollars). The 5.56 was $200 less and the .308 was $500 less than a 9mm Zenith (the Zenith itself is also way less than the new H&K made ones) WPD

    Weapons and equipment.

    If this is taking place in "whats left of the USA".... realistically there are 1000s of gun models that are not just plausible but likely. Gun community estimates place the # of guns in the USA at close to 600 million. Official estimates are about 1/2 that and are patently inaccurate guesses...

    All good points. I bought it because I wanted it. I am still waiting on a stamp for the .308 version- even less practical ;-)

    The side folding stock is basically the same as what they went to with the MP5s. Its much more comfortable than the telescoping stocks. That is a US Choate stock not some random chinese stock. The loading is not so bad, it rocks like an AK and it has both the button and paddle mag release.

    I would research them on the internet to see if they are worth anything and sell on gunbroker or sell them for whatever I could get at a gunshow

    They are actually better now than they were when they came into the shop. He cleaned off a lot of the rust and gunk that coated the shotguns.
