Ran into a guy at the range giving his AUG a workout and that got me interested in the bullpups again I've long been intrigued by the M17 and should have bought one long ago when they were (relatively ) cheap ---- compared to an AUG, they still seem cheap(er) -- price that is -- i dont know how they perform . I'm not looking for a "poorboy's AUG" or anything --- (i gotta get an AUG too after seeing that trick SOB at the range) ---- but there is one for sale locally and the guy may be interested in a trade for my 3rd Gen Glock 20/29 set Does that sound somewhat equitable , or should i skip the M17S love and keep on savin' for an AUG? -- have no idea on the street price of the K&M M17 variant either |

A stock M17S isn't IMHO worth what good examples tend to bring these days. A 17 reworked by KKF back in the day (RIP Kurt  ) or by K&M now/recently can be a great gun and a lot of fun, but in original trim they are lacking (again, IMHO).If I didn't have a 17, I would only buy one if I (1) got a great deal on one and (2) planned to have Ken at K&M rework it to my preferences. YMMV, as always. |

I got an email from Ken(K/M) this afternoon saying he was moving forward but was a little behind and was thinking about closing the preorders . I'm very happy I signed up as this looks like it will be way cool when it comes to fruition.
There is a whole lot more coming from this. |

Thanks all --- I will hold off on this one ---- my 10mm fascination is at a standstill now, but in some circles, the 10 mil Glocks are respected a bit ---------- I can hold onto 'em a bit more
Seriously though -- the main reason I was interested in a trade was that I like to shoot -- a lot ---- I get pissed chasing Glock brass around the range all day and have 90% switched to revolvers except for my CCW piece (Sig 238) My AR's , and other rifles, OTOH, deposit brass in a neat little pile pretty consistently --- plus a 5.56 range session is usually not nearly as much volume as a pistol session ------ I will keep saving for an AUG, unless I get to the point , (and the seller gets to the point) - that I can just offer him $800 for the thing clean (as of now, he wants $1200, or equivalent trade bait --- just wasn't sure if they were worth that now -- they used to be a little cheaper thanthe higher optioned AR's --- I worked for a Bushamaster dealer in the late 90's and never once saw a bullpup --- then they were kind of the ugly sister in the Bushy lineup --- back when Bushy was poised to inherit the throne from Colt as #1 top tier operators , -- LOL |

Quoted: You can actually do nice things with the M17S. This one's had some K&M love: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1780699_410271215774493_602389233_n.jpg Yep...
