I didn't get any out back pics because we were to busy having fun. When he brings the m16 I hope to make a video (full auto )
I will also say I think the Calico is a interesting gun but it's also a piece of junk and nobody wanted to pony up the 100 rounds of 9mm to fill the thing.

I do all the mechanical work in the shop and some autobody when I do not have tech work.
If anyone cares the yellow car in the background is a 67 Vette we are restoring.

I'd never heard of those Calicos.  Pretty sweet; they have a good vid on their site.

Not smart at all unless the weapons are registered to a corporation or trust that has them both eligible to possess the weapon.

They are, and he also told me the m16 currently is semi auto only.

Just so he knows, "currently" doesn't mean shit.

If it's registered as a machine gun with the ATF (or if it's even been fired full auto for that matter) it IS a machine gun always. You can't convert it back and loan it to your buddy.

p.s. If it's not registered, I'd stop throwing around terms like M-16.

They can both legally have the m16, he just informed me that it's currently semi only when I said I want to shoot it full auto.

I think he was kidding.  The streetswepper/Striker/Protecta or whatever name it has is awesome though, I'd love to have one.

+1, I love mine. It's a little rough around the edges, not SHTF durable, but a unique firearm that works well and is a lot of fun. Plus its roller delayed action makes it much easier to shoot than the cheap blowback carbines like Sub 2Ks, Storms, etc...

BTW, if you can't afford 100 rds of 9mm, maybe you shouldn't buy a 9mm carbine

The Striker is an awesome shotgun...but it takes SOOOO long to load.

I honestly thought your job was a police officer and these were confiscated weapons from a drug raid.


The calico is fun though.

I wish that I could shoot full auto. If Bill C-301 passes(if they haven't changed it) all I gotta do is find some old guy who got grandfathered when the ban happened and I will get my chance!

The owner of the gun told me it was a piece of junk so I'm just going off of what he said, and I don't own a 9mm.
