Stay home and save $5.
Take your $800, and go to your FFL and ask him to order a DSA FAL STG-58. $795 for the gun, and get the $68 scope mount. You won't be disappointed. |

I noticed your hand gun collection is without a SIG.
A .50 upper is a idea,but I don't know their quality/reliability |

How about some tactical training, ammo and mags. And if you have anything left over how about some flowers for the wife. This will open the door to all kinds of possibilities (SP?) :)

I'm partial to my 229. re: the BMG 50 - That's a 50 cal, right?? Where you gonna shoot it??? Seems pointless unless your ex-wife drives a Sherman tank. [:D] |

Dude, you have no USP! Everybody needs an HK USP! They are up there with Sigs, but I give the edge to the HK.

GLOCK G35. .40 caliber, long slide, competition 3.5# trigger, takes G22 high caps. Shoots like a dream.

I noticed something that your collection is completely missing. Machine Guns!!!
I say save up about $400 more and get yourself a SWD M11/9mm with transfer tax included. I promise it will be the funnest gun in your collection. Plus you will have the added benefit of an investment that you can still shoot without lowering the value too much. or If you don't want to save up any more money then go buy yourself a suppressor for your AR in either .223 or 9mm. Or you could also get complete suppressed 10/22. Think big, go NFA... |

Ponyboy, my AR15 RR is a Registered Receiver Conversion - it's a machine gun.
Freedom Fighter - Beef Jerky is a given! Heck, I'll use the "family" money for that! :) Oh yea, "family" money will pay for my admission into the show, as well. ;) Idaho - Where can I get tactical training for < $1000? Wiggins - Don't say those words!!!! (My wife might hear!) ;) I've thought about an FAL, but I just don't know... a buddy of mine has a thumbhole stocked FAL, and it's allright, but I just don't know if it "does it" for me. I have a few problems with a BMG upper: 1) I have no where to shoot it 2) I have no where to store it (it looks taller than the inside of my safe!) 3) I can't afford the ammo 4) If I shell out those bucks, I'd still need a good scope 5) I don't think I want a .50 BMG kicking the #%^# out of my $$$$$ registered receiver. .... maybe I should just buy a good used revolver for the glove box (~$200), look for a deal on that .357 lever rifle (~$250), and then figure out something else to do with the other $350 Although, I've kinda been eyeballing Glock 17's (assuming I can get a few hicaps for it, along with those +2 extenders) just for the sheer amount of firepower it can carry. |

That's no joke about the beanie babies. The last gun show I went to had two teenage girls selling hair extensions inbetween a guy selling ak's and a guy selling laser sights. By the way you don't have a good hunting rifle. That was my first gun and I still use it, that is if you hunt. You should start, it's a good time.

Maybe a better AK, say a Bulgarian SLR-95 and have money left for ammo and mags.
Or head off in a new direction with the DSA STG-58 as garandman mentioned. Or check out the compact CZ's in .40 or 9mm and still have $$$ left. Or get a full size. With $800 you could probably get both. Good luck and have fun. |

BobL- I wouldn't give a plug nickle for one of those thumbhole Century Arms POS misrepresentations of an FAL. They're junk, and you make a HUGE mistake if you think they are at all representative of a real FAL. I had my M4gery and my DSA FAL out on the bipods this weekend. All I can tell ya is my DSA FAL got most of the fondling. If ya want an FAL, ONLY get a DSA. I'm telling ya, they are SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Opps..I missed the RR part. Just saw AR15, you should have just put M16. An M16 is next on my list, but for the interim I got a cheap mans 16..the AC556. Either way, especially since you aren't newbie to the NFA world I say go for the MAC. It is a really fun gun and a crowd pleaser. No matter what you have to shoot, beltfed or whatever they always want to shoot the MAC, plus its a lot cheaper to feed 9mm than .223, but then you have the 9mm upper so I guess you already know that. But, you can spend an extra $20 or so and pick up a macjack to jump the RPMs up to around 1800 and really throw some lead.
Subguns are the sh*t. An M16 in 9mm is fun, but its still a rifle, its just not the same. Get the Glock later, it will still be the same price. Again, just my opinion. Michael |

Bob L--
$800 isn't going to get you much anymore. I agree with the SIG or HK, but you have two excellent autos in the 1991 and HP, and Single Action is not a handicap at all if you practice with them. You say you don't like the Interport. They are good guns, but I also got rid of my HK 91 (traded it off on an FNC)--I like my FAL's better. I go with the DSA Stg-58 guns. Get one with the money you have. If you really like it, sell off the Interport and get a Stg-58 Carbine (you will have to get it direct to your dealer to get the $795 price for the standard). Fit and finish are just as nice as the factory SA-58's. A couple of other possibilites: Sell the Interport at the show. You should then have $1700-1800 to spend. If it doesn't sell there, post it on the internet. At $1700, you can: Get an FNC (and pay to get it converted later--and it takes AR/M-16 mags). Buy a .50 BMG. I know you "don't have anywhere to shoot it", but if you get one, you will find a place. Minimum scope for a .50 is a Tasco SS at about $300. Right now, you can get a State Arms gun for $1800 before shipping--that is a complete shell holder type gun, very accurate, and this is one with a medium weight barrel (a little shorter than some. It should fit in the safe). Buy a Stemple or a MAC. AFARR |

AFARR: My bad, I typo'd: I meant to type "I've HAD an HK-91 clone". Since it wasn't my thing, I sold it a few months ago - my wife found out about that one, so the money was used for ... hell I dunno WHAT it was used for, but it wasn't used to replace any of my toys, I know that!
I looked at dsa's web site and the cheapest I could find an FAL (their standard rifle) was $1495 - a bit too pricey for me. This time around, I actually want to walk away with something (or somethings)in my hand, so that rules out anything NFA or .50 cal (since it'd take either a Form4 wait or more $$ - or both). Maybe I need a good DA WonderNine, just to say I have one (since I have all SA autos right now - which I actually prefer anyway). A buddy of mine has a SIG (the full size one - is it the 228?) and it's pretty sweet, but I've only fired it once, so I don't have much experience with them. What kind of price range will I be looking at for a SIG? -bob |

enigma2y0u,
When I was ~12 my dad took me quail hunting a few times, and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack in that same year, and my mother moved us around a bit, finally settling in a suburb of Atlanta (where my wife and I live to this day). Because of that, I missed out on the experiences of learning to hunt with my dad, and I haven't been able to get anybody to show me - I get all of the "you city slickers don't need to be out here no way!" type comments. So, while hunting is something I'd REALLY like to do (I truly enjoy being outdoors and in the wild), I don't know how to start. I don't believe this is the kind of thing where you buy a book, so I'm not EVEN going to go that route. A good hunting rifle would be nice, if I could use it - and if I could, I'd be on it in a second. -bob |

Bob,
They still have the Stg-58 for $795. It might not be listed on their website, but it is around. It is an Excellent Condition Parts kit (Steyr Stg-58) with a DSA Type 1 or 2 (get the Type 2, as it looks a little nicer and there are fewer of them around) receiver, and US parts to make it legal (can use any mag--and if you were on their website, you saw that they have mags for $5!!!). It looks identical to their Standard rifle, with the exception of the muzzlebrake. It is an imitation "Stoll" flash hider on the Stg-58 rifle. Fit and finish are up to the level of their SA-58's.

Bob L,
I'd say go with the DSA FN-FAL also. If you go back to the DSA web sight (if I remember this correctly) the first item is the catalog and the icon under that says something Austrian parts. Click on that icon and it will show DSArms new kit guns, they retail for $995 but have seen in a few forums that they are going for $795. As soon as my FFL gets back into town on Friday I'm calling and going to have him order me one. Just my .02 |

Bob_L, as USMC03 said, the $795 is dealer price. You have to get yourself a FFL holder that isn't greedy and will only charge $20 or so for the transfer. Then YOU pay DSA for the rifle and have it sent to your dealer. You go to the dealer, fill out the 4473, and give him the $20. You're done.

I am going to college in a city right now and it is hard to get out into the outdoors and hunt. I had is good where I grew up because I lived in the outdoors. We had people from all over hunting the hills and I have really nothing bad to say about them. If you are interested in hunting big game animals I can send you information from Wyoming and Utah. |

It can be fun to get a bunch of junk.
M-44's for $99 Model 15's for $150 AR-7 $125 SKS $200 Yugo Mauser for $175 Russian 91-30 for $100 and get accesories. It would be cool to walk out with all those weapons and accesories...that would be harder to hide from your wife. |

Bob, the .308 thing does sound cool. But it seems to me that you have the begining of an nice collection of handguns( the HP and the 1991a1, so maybe the HK USP and the Sig aren't such a bad idea. I suggest a p220 and USP .45. Maybe purchase one now and put the other on layaway.

Hey, just thought you guys should know:
When I went to the gun show, I got a couple of nickle and dimey type items (an A2 sight tool, another .50 cal ammo can w/ plastic inserts, and two converted uzi mags for my M16 9mm colt conversion). I wasn't going to get any firearms, since nothing really caught my eye, but then I found a guy selling a Browning branded HiPower. I'd put the gun at ~94%, since there were a few light scratches at the front of the slide. Other than that, it was in excellent shape. Also, this HiPower had the ambidextrious safety. Anyway, he wanted $400 for it. I offered him $375 cash and walked away from the table w/ the pistol. As I said at the top of the thread, I have a HiPower clone (FEG) which I've been pretty happy with. Now, however, I'm tickeled to death that I found a Browning pistol to go along with my Colt. In case you're wondering, I spend the rest of my money on a Video CD Recorder ( http://www.goterapin.com/fea_cdaudio.html ). This thing seems to be just the ticket for dumping my home movies onto something that can be played over and over without wearing out. Anyways, just thought you guys should know - and thanks for the suggestions. -bob |
