Hi my name is Justin and I am a 25 year old OEF OIF Veteran (03-04 Camp Slayer, BIAP Compund, 314th Chem, Baghdad Iraq) Currently a resident of Greenville SC I just bought a 3 BR home in greenville and renovations will be under way soon. I have recently been re-acquiring weaponry mostly for defense to start with and soon moving to pleasure pieces.
I bought a Mossberg Maverick 12 ga. pump action full-tube with ACOG scope) dont ask me why they stuck that on but at least i can see my irons under) and a CZ model 70 .32 auto for concealed carry. I also have a S&W model 10 V .38 that I am trying to trade for my landlord (slumlord lol) grandmother who needs some kind of protection. Trying for a smaller frame, lighter weight, similar caliber revolver (doesn't have to be newer)
I have been a very avid gun collector in the past and have been trying to get back into it since I am now disabled with a lot more time on the old hands. At any rate I have owned before and have fired a few fine pieces that I already have formed fairly strong opinions about, and since I have always been rather picky, most of them were pretty good items. That list is as follows:
SKS that I modified with a synthetic folding stock and scope 7.62x39 (no extended mag i never saw the point in disrupting prone unsupported firing)
SAR-1 Romanian AK Semi-Auto Variant 7.62x39
Russian Mosin Nagant Full Size 7.62x54R
Mossberg 500 Police Issue Pistol Grip Only Pump 12ga. (full tube)
Mossberg Maverick with ACOG Pump 12 ga.
Bushmaster XM-15 with Solid Stock .223
Ruger 10/22 Rifle Sythetic Stock Version .22 LR
CETME Model C Synthetic Stock Semi Auto .308
Marlin 30/30 Standard Lever Action
Ruger P94 Semi-Auto .40 Caliber
SIG P239 .357auto
STAR BM 9mm
CZ 70 .32
Smith and Wesson Model 10 V .38 SW modified to 38 Spec.
Sears Roebuck .22LR Bolt-Single Shot
And being in the military I have become very familiar with these:
m-16a1 .223
m4 .223
m249 SAW belt fed open bolt full auto .223
m9 (beretta 9mm)
Seeing as I have sold all but the CZ, the maverick, and the .38 I am slowly getting back into collecting, but disability doesnt really hash out that much more for fun rather than food, which is fine. Hey at least i can apply for a free hunting licence now that im a cripple hehe.
I have been mostly searching of late for recreational pieces (target, hunting) that are good quality, well manufactured, low price) and have been eyeing some popular knock off models that are in my range price-wise.
Finally, the question is this. I need any owner of one of these (knock offs) to tell me the average price of these things and what I should look for. Mainly loking for now, are full size frame semi auto pistols, assault style rifles, mid-size frame semi-auto pistols, concealed carry lightweight revolvers, and maybe a decent hunting rifle or 2. Most guns that can be modded to synthetic with scope mounts or ACOG with are eye openers by me. I am also a big fan of the cheaper good quality knockoff brands like Llama, Rock Island, CETME, ect. mostly for price reasons.
My dream guns are these:
Desert Eagle .50AE
Wildey .44 Auto
Barrett .50 Cal BMG Semi
AMT Hardballer
M14 Synthetic/Scope
Colt 1911
Colt King Cobra .357
Walther PPK
USP .45 Full Size
H&K G3
Franchi SPAS 12 Semi or Pump
SVD Dragonuv
Mark 3 Ruger .22 LR
