Ron Paul's Rifles - photos only please!

I think I have a hardon

Just kidding. I only get those for Steyr Augs - especially when being handled by Milla Jovovoch.

They also sell a long ball-end hex driver for $8. In hindsight I wish I had bought this but I was able to get the stock on with a standard hex key, it took a long time though. That, along with some blue lok-tite and you will be good to go.

That's right, I do have to get that tool as well. I do have hex keys, but knowing my luck I'll wish I had the tool.....

I would also like to get the PowerPak shell holder

I'm going that route as well. It's probably redudant but I wish thinking of just send it off to Wilson Combat to get some sights put on, as well as the side-saddle, and whatever else the Missus will let me spend my money on. :o And get the Knoxx setup. (I do plan on getting the Surefire forend-light....)

How long's the barrel on that S&W/ AR?

Sorry, OP: Too much chit-chat, not enough pics.

 

[madengr]

The S&W has a 16" barrel.
If you get the Surefire you may also want the Wilson Combat 870 side sling mount plate. It gets the sling out of the way of the light.

This is my wife's:

DSA FAL Type II stainless with 16" barrel and walnut furniture
Bushnell Holosight (plan on upgrade to EO-Tech)
Need to add Vickers Tactical sling

I would love to have this unfortunately and I don't want to go through the unconstitutional paperwork for an SBR:

Can you tell I have a thing for FALs? There is nothing like shooting a FAL with a brake/compensator under a metal lean-too (like at the range). It really get's people's attention compared to 5.56mm!

AR=snap, crackle, pop!
FAL=KaBOOM!

Then again, battle_rifle != carbine, you need BOTH!

 

[GoDrNo]

That FAL is BEAUTIFUL....how do you like that Bushnell reflex sight? I've been thinking of getting one for the AR I'm building (hopefully the upper assembly will get here tomorrow, it's about 6 hours away aboard a UPS truck as I type this).

 

[madengr]

I love the sight. My wife used to work for Bushnell so I have lot's of these Holosights (test units and rejects). That being said if I were paying for one would spend the little extra and get the EOTech. I believe the internals are the same (off the same assembly line) but the EOTech has an extra metal shield-plate and rubber controls. You can also get it with AA-batteries instead of the N-type. You can also get a waterproof one but that's even more $.

I prefer the standard reticle with the 1 MOA dot and 65 MOA ring, as opposed to a 1 MOA dot or 4 MOA ring. If you just want a dot then the Aimpoint would probably be better since it has a 5 year battery life; you just leave it on. I get 10-12 hours out of these N-type units, but just toss them after 8 hours so they don't die when you need it. They don't actually die, rather briefly cut off under recoil.

Looks like they have a new one though with a 5.56mm drop compensator and side mounted controls, which is a plus if the rear is pushed up against your back-up iron sights.

That being said, if anyone does not have some type of red-dot optic, you are in the stone age! They make child's play out of bowling pins. Probably a bettter invention than sliced bread; I'm not kidding.

On the 21" FAL though I want a S&B Short-Dot (costs almost as much as the FAL) or a Millet DMS. These are a red-dot type with variable 1-4X magnification. They make flip-up magnifiers for both EOTech and Aimpoint, but that's just more stuff (to break) hanging off the rail.

On my crap budget, the closest I'll ever get to really cool stuff would be to buy dolls action figures:

Oh, madengr, have you ever checked out LWRC's rifles? Had I the budget.....

The LWRC is pretty cool. I heard though in a class I took that it had some reliability issues. The instructor had an HK416, which also has has the piston, as does the FAL. I don't know if the HK416 will ever come to light since the FN SCAR won the SOF competition for a new rifle.

Anyway, the SCAR-L (5.56mm) and SCAR-H (0.308) are on my wishlist when they are available to civilians (hopefully soon).

Then again I want both SCARs, another 21" FAL, a Noveske N4, and not just one of each but at least two so they don't get lonely. I suppose it only takes $$.

I have a theory about putting two FALs in a dark safe and seeing if they would produce a third; no such luck yet.

That action figure is funny. They really got it down good:

Must have more information...

I have this bad boy coming in the mail to my dealer any day now.

Is that an AK bullpup? Who makes it? Range report wanted.

An old pic of me and one of my babies, taken back in the days when cases of 7.62x39 could be had for $80/1000.

Seeing how I just posted this pic in another thread, might as well post it in the one asking for pics.

My kids;

This is my current arsenal. I had an M4 carbine (Olympic Arms) but recently sold it to a friend. I'm not a fan of Olympic Arms, but I bought it cheap.

No optics, yet. Just bought the AK..working on the accessories.
