HH6 has offered up a new fun stick for our anniversary...  can't decide what is at the top of the list.  The choices are (in no particular order):

  • Marlin 1894SBL  in .44M (if I can find one)

  • LaRue PredetAR 556

  • Remigton 700P in .300WM

  • LaRue PredetAR 762

  • Saiga 12

  • AK of some variety

  • Benelli M4

  • Kel-Tech KSG (when it comes out)



Price is a consideration in that higher cost will count for more gifting occasions.  I have LT OBR's in both calibers as well as a couple of other AR's, and I have a Benelli M3.

Thoghts?

ETA: I screwed up the poll and left the Benelli out of it...    Post if that is your choice...

Now there's an idea!  Although the SCAR, in either caliber, has failed to impress me thus far, same with the ACR.

Pick the one that is most likely to be banned.

Have you shot a 17 yet?  I have not, only watched them be shot at FNRL, but they look like shooting a 5.56.
Have a FAL yet?
Truck gun?

I understand the sentiment on the 16 since you can get an AR to perform just as well for less with more upgrade options, but the SCAR 17 seems to be in a niche all by itself.   Though I will admit I would check out some of the newer AR-10 pattern guns too, such as the Mega MA-TEN.  PMAGs are a big plus...

I've actually been tossing around a MA-TEN build, but that is for another day.  I have not fired a SCAR17, but for the price tag I could have a few off the list, including another LT 762 that takes pmags.

Found a Saiga for $650 @ Mary's today so I jumped on it (with HH6 approval and encouragement)... The rest of the list is still in play for Christmas.

I may get a FAL Para sometime in the future, if funds allow, but it is down the list. The Marlin is kinda a truck gun, 'cept for the fact that it's a rifle, so it ain't legal here (loaded anyway).

Don't know if it's true, but I've always been told that rifle caliber pistols can be loaded in vehicles, since they are not "rifles".





A Micro Draco would be an awesome truck gun!

This is a fact. It is a pistol, and treats as such by all laws. Pistol is a pistol, regardless of caliber.

I might slip a Draco in to the collection with the intention of making an SBR when they become legal here or I move to a free state.

The only option I can approve is the SCAR 17.

What is that extra cut out in the bolt carrier? Looks like part of the scope mount got incorporated in there.

Oh that?  It's the part that's on there that I have no clue about cause I just used a random picture of a FAL pistol.
