Hi,
Here it is what I'm preaparing in the next months , a brand new project named " night's owner " . It'll be a "light" SWSs cal 223r , equipped for night tasking. I already ordered a Bushmaster "varminter" match 20" barrel ,it'll be geared with: KAC FF 12" RAS KAC front folding BUIS KAC 600mtrs folding BUIS PRI #69 mount for AN/PVS-14D Harris BR-S & Pod Lock Trijicon TA55 5.5X50 Sierra grip DPMS 3-way pos.buttstock AN/PAQ-4C AN/PVS-14D Here a pic of the accessories ready to be mounted on , others coming in the next weeks .

Mr. Palla is living proof to we Americans that the Italian lottery can be won by some lucky guy.
Looking good, be sure you post a pic when it's put together. |
|
Chairborne_Ranger, I thank you very much indeed for trusting me so lucky but , sincerely , I did not win any lottery , just lucky to have a good job and working hard , nothing more...... You bet I'll post the pics when it'll be ready to go out in the darkness.... Ciao, PP out |

You said that your varminter barrel is only 20-inches? I thought these were only sold as 24-inch barrels?
Are you going to thread your barrel or leave it with a target crown? ---------------------------------- I have too many ongoing projects, but I am building a similar upper around the full length FF RAS except mine will use a standard Pre-Ban Bushmaster HBAR barrel, GG&G Flip up sight with bayonet lug, the KAC 600M flip up rear, ARMS#22 rings and a B&L Elite 4200 4-16x50mm Scope. My rifle is obviously intended to be a shooter that will see considerble use. My other project is a 300 Whisper project that will be unique in many regards. This upper will use a medium-short KAC FF RAS which should allow me to have a custom barrel made that will allow me to place the front sight base in the proper location for mounting a bayonet on a NFA friendly 16-inch barrel. This upper is going to incorporate a custom gas tube that I hope to be able to adjust through the holes in the KAC FF RAS tube. I am planning to build this upper using a GG&G flip-up front sight, flattop upper w/ KAC 600m rear, but I am not sure of the main optics that I would like to use for this upper. My last upgrade for this upper will be a silencer and I am still looking at all my options in this regard as well. Time will tell as both of these projects are on hold until we move in May. I will be watching for your pictures and updates. Thanks for sharing! Good Luck! |

Quarterbore,
this mine'll be a military "SPR" project , specialized for night ops and,yep,it'll be a 20" barrel SWS . Your question abt threading the barrel is a good one . In my first post , here above , I missed to write that a B&T SOP can is scheduled to be mounted on this "night's owner" hardware ,I'll have to mount a B&T QD flash hider for the can ,so I'll thread it ....... Good question indeed. Is not that you are becoming to know me too much ? PP out |
|
Quarterbore, I'll be watching for your pics too , if you'll post them. Ciao, PP out |

Not only "Night's Owner" but "Silent Night's Owner"
Is that a Gemtech Silencer I saw there? |
|
AR_Rifle,
you are right , from now on it'll be called "silent night's owner" ...... This is a Swiss Brugger & Thomet SOPS Q-uick D-etachable suppressor. Ciao, PP out |
|
Excellent!...And I can't wait to see the final product. |
|
|
....me too !!
It seems the rifle'll be here shortly , hopefully ! ....then it'll be a matter of hours to outfit it ...... PP out |
|
Can't wait to see the finished product.
PP, let me know how the TA55 works for you when you finally get it. Been thinking about a similar project (not as fancy) with an extra BM lower I have lying around. Possibly use a RRA 20" varmit flattop upper, FF KAC, the same KAC BUIS as you or substitute for ARMs #40 and a BM front flipup (to save a bit of money). And I'll top it off with my TA11. If I do, I'll try to get it done for the BRC. |
|
HKocker, roger that,no problem. I had it in my hands at the last SS while in Las Vegas , I liked it very much but probably it'll be not available for the civvies before next autumn...... In the meantime I thought to use the USO SN-4 I had in my inventory. PP out |

AR18 , Coyote3 ,

Another keyboard ruined from drooling at your pictures! |

|
|
PP, you planning on shooting sonic or subsonic loads thru that AR? Is she going to have FA?
|
|
Hi Scarecrow,
I'll shoot sonic bullets , I need their punch , and no, it'll not get any FA setup , just semiauto. ciao, PP out |
|
Pinco, how much you did pay for that B&T suppressor? I´m finishing my Whisper project and planned to buy one. MN |
|
|
Markus, wait for the summer and you will be able to purchase a QD model of the excellent Ase Utra sound suppressor.
|
|
And what do you do exactly??? Just curious as I am looking for a new profession. |
|
|
MN, $.1.650,00 included the QD SOPS flash hider ( an art work ) & shipment . I tested it just yesterday on my M4 ,the very small bang cannot be heard farer than 20/25 meters away , no bad uh ? PP out |
|
|
....just Berlusconi's nephew...... PP out |
|
|
The Prime Minister? You're kidding, right? coyote3 |

|
|
$1.650!!!Holy mother of.... That is lot of money, isn´t it?!?!? BTW, you are not Berlusconi´s nephew. Your has to be Berlusconi himself! hanks MN |

|
for sure...... PP out |
|
|
You're right but this is the price for a top quality can , Gemtech & Knight's have almost the same prices PP out |
|
|
Markus, i cant tell you the exact price at this time. But the QD model should be available during this year.
|
|
Is that a USoptics SN-4 i see? Dear Lord, i am green with envy. I've been saving up for a high quality scope on my bolt, and here u are mounting it onto your AR. Very jealous, but i must add that it is looking like one very beautiful project.
Question, how much did you pay for that USO? |
|
Hey PP, that guy under your name must be the 2002 version of "Franco's Italian Army"
|
|
Nice project!
I wish I could afford all that stuff, these days I'd have to use a 2L Coke bottle for a supressor |
|
Jesus man could you possibly slap any more crap on that poor rifle?! Ok, ok, so I'm just envious...
|
|
You should see some of his others.... The guy damn near makes me want to cry.... such a thing of beauty and I can't afford half the stuff he has on them. |
|
|
I thought you had sold all your U.S. Optics?
Is there anything new we should know since the little talk a while back? |
|
Hi, I got it some years ago, it's a SN-4 MKIII A/N-R/R 1-4X circle dot with doubler,its price was about $. 1.900,00 ciao, PP out |
|
|
Hi Axel, how are you doing ? No,nothing new about that matter , I just got this SN-4 from my inventory to mount it on this "SPR" project while waiting for the already ordered brand new Trijicon TA55 5.5X50, ciao, PP out |
|
|
Folks, I thank you very much for your nice words abt my hardware , I promise , whenever you come over here to visit me & my old country , to let you play with it ciao, PP out |
|
|
I'm well thanks. Trying to get moved out of California and have a house built in Nevada. It will be an adventure for a time but will be worth it. Then maybe I can have toys like yours
|
|
Pinco, I'd love it if you posted a link to photos of your collection of "toys".
You did so a year ago, and I drooled. It seems that in the past year, you've had some acquisitions... ...can we see? |
|
Hi Cincinnatus,
you remember well,I had hundreds of pics stored at www.photopoint.com but that site nowday does not exist anymore and I loosed all of my pics....... Now I'm afraid to store my pics in another free hosting site 'cose it could happen the same thing again , so lastly I was thinking to get my own domain , but I'm too busy at work so probably I'll do that in the future. By now , if you like , you can see some pics in my album "black hardware" stored here in the AR15.COM forum , ciao and thanks so much for your attention to my shots, PP out |

If you guys want to really cry, go see PP's bolt gun that Chandler is building for him!

mjmensale,
here it is........,it's already done but I'm just waiting for the papers to export it from the States to Italy..... PP out |
|
Here it is a close look of the B&T SOPS QD flash hider / compensator.
Its only problem is that it makes a bigger BANG and a great star while shooting without the can......... PP out |
