Going through my mind on what to spend $400.00 on in the way of guns or assy.

an aimpoint M2 with GG&G mount, no, wait, that 500 bucks, you're screwed

Tell us what currently resides in your safe, so we can tell you more accurately what gaps need to be filled.
If you don't have a 1911 already, a Springfield Mil-Spec won't run too far over $400. |

My GF just said you should buy porn and lingerie.... "Because we dont need no more guns!!!"

DO SOMETHING!
Fly to bulletfest or take a training class Here are some training classes. Options for Personal Security and Blackwater are sort of in the south. I am sure there are others that I do not know about. [url]http://www.firearmnews.com/directory/index.asp?CatID=122[/url] Why search around for a gun you obviously do not have a burning desire for since you can't think of one? Go somewhere and do something with your guns you will learn from or at least have some fun with. |

Quoted: SA XD-9 View Quote That would be the best $400 he ever spent! |

$30 on a C&R liscence, then a copy of shotgun news and look at all the new toys you can get delivered to your door.
|
|
Like the others said, you can't go wrong with an SAR and 1000 rounds.
|
|
Well I have a couple of AR's and a SAR1 plus a few 1911's and a couple of glocks, a shot gun Enfield and a 22 rifle.

I concur that the Keltec is a fun toy. Some people will skin me for saying this, but I'm a firm believer that the Century L1A1 is a good buy. Most work fine, some need some tinkering, the occassional one needs to go back. But for less than $400 you have a solid .308 battle rifle. Or you can buy a kit from Dan's and a receiver and assemble your own.
FAC is having a sale on Hesse (I know I know, but the guys at FAL Files say these are pretty good for builds) receivers for $129 with the ejector block installed. If Hesse made them here, that is one compliance part already. You buy a decent kit for less than $150 and refinish it. You buy some US furniture and a FSE fire control group for around $100. I know they have regional build parties over at the FAL Files and many of the guys here know how to build them too... The hardest part is cutting off the receiver remnants from the barrel and torquing the new one on and headspacing. For my $400 though, I'd go with a Century L1A1 and have a blast! |

View Quote Hello I'm here to skin you. The standard punishment for handing out crappy advice is to force you to own a CAI L1A1. Problem is you have one and like it. You also have recommended Hesse which is another major infraction in and of itself. Normally the punishment for that is a weekend with a Haitian transvestite. But seeing as how you own a CAI L1A1 and willingly endorse Hesse, you probably already have a Haitian transvestite too. |

That'd buy you a bunch of buddies membership to the NRA. Cough up a bit more and buy yourself a Life.

Does my century L1A1 work? Yes, flawlessly... Get over it. Is it a DSA? No! Than again it didn't cost $800-$1200 either.
I would never buy a Hesse rifle either. However, if you ask people that build AK kits, including our own CampyBob, he will tell you that they work well and are in fact more true to the Soviet design. If you ask the guys at FAL Files who build a ton of FALs, they will tell you that by and large the Hesse receivers work just fine. Guess what is one of the best buys in AR receivers today Steyr? Happens to be the "Century" forged receivers for around $80. Happen to be manufactured in the same plant that cranks out many name brand receivers. Get over yourself already. |

I'm seeing alot of praise for the Springfield xds. Are they that good for the cheap price? I'm looking at getting a carry gun and taking my class later this summer. Is it a good choice?
Keving67 p.s. Didn't mean to hijack the thread if it happens |

View Quote Geeze, did my post really need a smiley or did you think I was serious about Haitian transvestites. And while a CAI ar15 receiver may be a good price, it is hardly a good buy. I'd explain to you why but you'd probably just get offended again. |

I am spending $400 on a DSA STG 58 parts kit and a Tapco 6 pack of US parts. I will have to spend some more when I figure out which receiver to buy.
|
|
I noticed that a .22 pistol is absent from the battery listed by mpearcex. Possibly a Ruger Mk. II, with plenty left over for mags, red dot sight, etc...?
|
|
I would get a Baby Eagle in 9mm. Mine was $409.00
[img]http://www.magnumresearch.com/old/images/new/PG15BEPS.jpg[/img] Or a EAA Witness for $350 which is the same gun with a frame mounted safety and a bunch of ammo. |

Glock better look over their shoulder, because Springfield is getting ready to kick their ass! I absolutely love my sub-compact XD-9. |

A couple pizzas, some of those little hard candies, some mashmallows, and chocolate bars, some gram crackers, yeah man will make smoores man!!! and.... funions man...yeah! (half baked)

Well to tell you the truth about Springfields XD's I wont spend the money on one untill they make it in 45ACP. But hey they didn't even come up with the concept of the XD it was orginally called HS2000 made in Croatia. And they made it expensive, they jacked the price $150.00 or so from the HS2000.Sorry it may be a great gun but you just don't do that.

CMP M1 GARAND.
SAR-3 (.223 AK ) and wieger 30 rnd. mags. Dillon 550b reloader Aimpoint and ARMS mount |

Might I suggest an FM Highpower, made in Argentina on Browning contract machinery. Arsenal refinished with a new slide and barrel and one highcap magazine from FAC. Cost $264.24 shipped to your FFL, plus any transfer. Still leaves around $100 to order a few highcap mags from CDNN.
My FFL got one of these in for gimself and said it was an amazing deal. |
