My LGS has 5 old dusty as heck boxes of 30RemAR on their shelf and they only reason I know, is because I was surprised to see Remington boxes and asked them what they were and I was like wow that's interesting. So it's pretty much 300 Black Out but not. 125gr soft point bullet at close to 7.62x39 velocity. I bet they would give me a fair price on them as I don't think anyone else know what it even is. Hmm, now I'm getting a very bad idea for a new build... Thanks a lot man...

My grandpappy's 1934 Colt 1911 that he left me .... random story follows:
My grandpappy on the day he bought it in 1934 while on leave in Chicago in full double-breasted suit and fedora regalia .... I have the original receipt from the hardware store where he bought it and the letter from Colt as-to its origin and how it arrived at that hardware store.

Found a Weatherby Vanguard Predator in 223. Stuck a Athlon Neos 4-12X with lighted reticle on it and never shot it. Nice looking rifle but the trigger sucks. I will have to change the trigger if I keep it.

Very cool; even more so that it's in such great condition and has been in your family for all these years!
Do you know anymore about your Grandfather and why he bought the Colt Government?

He looked like quite the well dressed dude, I guess in Chicago with Prohibition just ending, a gentleman needed a 1911 to be property dressed. lol

The way he described it to me back in the day was that he was familiar with the make and model but at the rank of buck Sergeant he wasn't issued one. He was Calvary at Bliss. He didn't intend to buy the pistol while on leave with his buddy but there it was, in the hardware store next to where they were staying, and he had won forty dollars at the speak easy the night before which was more than a month's pay at the time. He thought it was kismet.
Yeah that was the look of the well-dressed back then. He told me he paid less for the entire suit than he did the pistol and he bought 60 rounds with the pistol and they gave him another 20 rounds. He didn't carry the pistol the second or third night out of caution, getting drunk, that kind of thing. He went back and got the pistol before they got on the train to come home, that's when the hardware store guy gave him the extra rounds, when they found out he was a buck sgt down in El Paso.
Then he carried the pistol in WWIl. You were allowed to carry personal pistols back then.
That was the first pistol I ever shot when I was ten years old.
I loved that man. He was a heckuva horseman.
What model is the second rifle? I've never seen one of those!

Odd Job
It's either an SL6 (.223) or an SL7 (.308). The roller delayed blow back action was like that of the HK 91. I had an SL7 some years back and it was very well made and had better ergonomics (at least to me), than the HK 91 (had one of those too).
The biggest problem which I had with it was with trying to track down various parts and accessories as they were very hard to come by! And then if you did find something like a scope mount or a spare magazine it cost big bucks. There seemed to be very little in terms of factory support with these rifles and it didn't help matters that they weren't imported for all that long.
