Of course putting them on your bumper is pretty Ricky Racer too. :)

I don't see any direct comparisons going on here. As far as mentioning them in the same sentence... it's hard not to see some similarity. My reason for mentioning them is simply that the BATF reversed it's decision on the Akins product and I could see that happening here as well. Of course...

As someone who has multiple stamps I'll make a simple statement. Firing a full auto weapon loses some of its mystic in fairly short order. My experience has shown me that shooting F/A starts out as quite a rush but becomes both common place and relatively expensive in just a few outings. I'm not...

It's a given that my opinion may not represent the norm. That said, as a civilian shooter who only shoots one round per squeeze. I don't see where Mil-Spec buys me anything other than to say it is so.

Interesting that you mention fanboys and then go on to laud a particular manufacturer. As the owner of one of each of these and an Armalite, Mil-Spec set aside, I can't look you in the eye and tell you that Colt is a better rifle. So as not to be a "fanboy" I won't make any claim other than to...

I had the same kind of break on an 1100 12 gauge a long time ago. I can laugh about this and tell the story 25 plus years later, I was a complete idiot. Holding the forearm I unscrewed the forearm cap nut to remove the "duck plug". Well as you can imagine I was left holding the forearm while the...

I didn't read all the posts in this thread, chances are someone may have already made this comment. It's interesting that you chose these two calibers for comparison. This is right where I draw the line for fun recreational shooting with the exception of the .50 BMG which feels about the same...

To whom? He may know far more about the two rifles he listed than you do at this point. You don't have to be handed the keys to a Ferrari to learn to drive fast cars. He's picked a place he wants to start and that's great. Maybe he'll learn that this wasn't the best choice, maybe he'll learn...

When I read the title of this thread I thought to myself I wonder how long people will stay within the bounds of the question. It went south on the first reply. Unbelievable. This is just our of line. With the little bit of information that has been exchanged in this thread how could anyone...

I've bookmarked this thread. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this pistol since you made the post. It's like a drug, I've got to have one just like it. What is the trigger pull like on this pistol?

The slab side is a 3"?

No offense taken. My point exactly, the name has been owned by 3 different companies of which I'm aware, it's a survivor. I've followed them for 25 years, I have one of the old Sterling manufactured AR180's. Even if today's company has no tie to the original the name lingers on. Lots of BIG...

and Armalite. I know, it doesn't have a magazine. :D

Kind of making your own case with this post aren't you?

I would have to go with none of the above given these choices.
