El Rojo, I found your PRK semi-auto Mojo!

I felt kinda bad you were stuck with that abomination of a FAB-10, and thought that the SU-16 would make a good substitute. Then Volquartsen sent me a glossy package today, and look what was in it!

Volquartsen Evolution center-fire rifle

Gas-operated, uses standard AR-15/M16 magazines, looks like a 10/22 on Mark McGwire juice, and comes in either .223 Remington or .204 Ruger. I'll wager your friends Perata, Feinstein, and Boxer didn't foresee this one coming in under the California radar, either...

Oooh what is that, a match-grade Mini-14 that takes AR mags?

 

[Dionysusigma]

Too bad the mags themselves are still restricted. :banghead:

$1930.00

Skunk, you have to read the website.

There's no way on Gawd's green earth that Volquartsen would ever stoop so low as to start with a Mini-14. That's a clean sheet of paper there, pardner. Notice that the ad says "X-rings at 600 yards and beyond". Definitely not a Mini-14.

Dionysusigma, the mags are restricted, but still floating around in the PRK if you had them from before SB-23. And there's always the same 10-round mags that folks on the Left Coast have to use in the SU-16 gun...

it's too bad they didn't put a lighter barrel on it and had to leave the reciever in the white. other than that it looks like it might make an okay rifle.

Beautiful rifle, I like that idea. that's a PRK must have.

Volquartsen makes darn good 10/22 parts, 80 ground squirrels on Monday can attest to that [or at least their relatives can]. However, that is a pretty steep cost. I think I will stick to the FAB-10 and if I want a tack driver upper [my BM V-match 20" is doing the job right now], I can probably spend anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 as much as that pricey gem. Precision guns don't need a huge magazine. It is the tactical fun gun that I get depressed when I go bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, click.

I just bought a SU-16 and I am tapped out for money. Yes I bought about 20 AR mags before the ban so I am good to go. Someday, we will get our guns back. Some day.
