Excuse me DB but what the ??? is that first picture? I mean is that thing suitable for single handed firing? And why 100bullet C-mag....
That "pistol" really gave me a bluescreen tbh.

an MkIII is always a good buy (though MkII has more of a following).cronicler said:

It's not a c-mag, it's a Betamag:
My 100 round Betamag magazine is the shit. It comes with a handy carrier, a tube of graphite lubricant powder, a loader assist, and a mag well cover. It lets you put 100 rounds of .223 goodness in the same amount of space a 20 round mag takes up. Great in case of zombie attack. The thing works like a swiss clock, no jams, no misfeeds, no problems at all. As you can see in the pic, it has a clear lens on the backside so you can see how many rounds are left in the mag.
They were selling for $299.00 before Obamania kicked in at the gun shows, now they are running $350.00 each. I should have bought one last year. But, if Obama re-inacts the assault weapons ban, I expect to see the value on this sucker double within a year.
I can also use it on any of my AR-15 system guns, I didn't get it specifically for the Carbon 15 P97S. But it looks fucking wicked on it, huh?

What's wrong with a match grade fluted 7.5" heavy barrel? If it's good enough for my Ruger Mark III, it's equally valid on another gun, wouldn't you agree? (waits for snotty know-it-all response)
This is what the barrel looks like with the cover off.
I have a Ruger Mark II 50th anniversary, which is a great target pistol, but the Mark III's fit, finish, and shootability is better in my opinion.
ps - Just about everything I do is because I can...
pps - Oh yeah, cronicler - I wouldn't recommend shooting the P97S offhand - I suppose you could, but I plan on holding onto the front handguard as well.
'match grade' .223 only really works if it's like 18'-20'.DammitBoy said:
at 7' it hardly matters if it's match grade or not. even if you reload specifically for short barrel (most likely using weak shortburning pistol powder in an intermediate cartridge then?), i doubt you'll get any 'matchgrade' out of that that can't be beaten into the ground by a .22LR, my dear DammitBoy.

Thanks for not disappointing with the snotty, snide, know-it-all, condescending response. I knew I could count on you.
In this case, I would consider the use of the term 'match grade' to imply higher quality materials, manufacturing, and finish as opposed to indicating superior accuracy.
The 7.5 chrome, fluted, heavy barrel used in the Bushmaster is very well made - especially when one could argue that there wouldn't be much of a performance loss by using an inferior cheaper production barrel.
I think it speaks to Bushmaster's commitment to quality that they use a superior product in the P97S. The fit and finish on this gun is excellent.
i'm not arguing it's not a good barrel, i'm arguing that the name is laughable...
match - grade, as in "good enough for matches" implies indeed that it's fucking up to par for shooting matches.
good luck with that.
regardless of how good this barrel is made, this is just a marketing gimmick term in this case...

.223Rem shooting matches generally don't have minimal barrel lengths in the rules.DammitBoy said:
you do realise that in any country with semi-decent laws, that wouldn't even be qualified as a pistol, right?DammitBoy said:
and as said: there is no limit to how short your barrel is in a .223Rem marksmanship match or even 5.56x45mm ordnance match.
oh hi, i live in a country where this is legal with a collapsible colt stock and a vertical front grip...DammitBoy said:
seriously, that gas tube would never be fucking naked if it weren't for retarded gunlaws.
ugh, meant buffer tube...

Thats a nice rifle DB. (Winchester 94) What's the story behind the oversized hoop if you know? (and if it's not too boring to tell here?)
Your Ruger 10/22 seems too dark coloured for my tastes but it might be because of the flash too. How is the kickback and general accuracy on these rifles?
