Ron Paul's Rifles - photos only please!

[Michigan11]

Bump! Great thread, will be posting my pics as soon as I get another camera.

Bushmaster 450 with an eotech and a Benelli Super Black Eagle II semi shotgun...

The ammo on the Bushmaster was very pricey, almost $2 per cartridge (Hornady Manufacturer), but is coming down in price since Remington is making it now too.

July 4th Bump

It's the 4th of July weekend, let's see some more rifles.

My MBR, the FAL. DSA STG58 Carbine. Gas piston driven design.

And for some variety a year-old brother and sister having a snack in the same spot.

I just made 2 primary contacts with armorer's machine shops who are very excited about my project to get a LMT308MWS and retrofit it with a gas-piston system instead of a gas impingement system. I don't know how long it will take to save up (I really do not want to sell my Colt Sporter HBAR in 5.56mm NATO, but I could buy the thing today if I did) . When I do, pics will be.

Hi sprale, welcome to the forums.

Nice first post! Cool Mini.

I just bought a Bushmaster ACR. Love the versatility and modification capabilities, though some folks aren't thrilled with the weight at the back end of the gun, but I actually like to have something of substance in my hands.

Am I right that it is tough to even begin painting the first one, but after that it gets easier?

Every time I see a black rifle, I start conjuring new ideas for patterns.

That Flectarn FAL above was coated using perforated .308 and .45 targets for stencils.

Agreed.

And the beauty of rattle cans are that the paint can always be redone on whim or based on season. Or completely removed.

Can I be a member of Ron Paul's Rifles?

This is my FAL G1 that I built from a kit almost 10 years ago. 16.5 in barrel and 100% compliant. I call it “The Jack Hammer” It is sweet to shoot and can drive tacks with iron sights at 100 yards. This one goes with me when the time comes.

I acquired this Colt HB for Appleseed events. Accurate as hell and a little cheaper to shoot these days.

I got this short, lightweight barrel for fun in the woods. .22 adapter kit also goes with this one. Good for shooten squirrels and such.

Gods speed Ron Paul in 2012

WarChestNC, welcome to the forums!

Your FAL is sweet, I love the G1 variant. Ready for optics if needed and still has the carry handle. I know what you mean about being the one to use. Just being able to chew through concrete blocks, cars etc. with these things is awesome.

I'd like to find an R1A1 someday.

M1A Socom II and a Basic ACR.

Sweet photographic poetry, with sharp teeth!

Thanks for sharing!

AK74 Type II (5.45x39)
Highpoint 995 (9mm) carbine
Marlin 30-30 lever action
2x Mossberg 500 pump 12 gauges (one camo dipped for turkey, one pistol grip)
1 Remington pump 20 gauge

On the wish list:
Ruger 10-22
308 bolt action (presently looking at the Marlin - inexpensive and relatively light)
Walther p-22
Highpoint .45 TS carbine

This thread was back on page 3, which is simply unacceptable. At least post some progress reports:

The Colt M16A4 barrel has been hard to find, which will complete this one and can add the ACOG, and proceed with the M4 clone.

Its a shotgun, not a rifle, but I am in love with this and am planning on making one.

The link leads to the Art of Manliness website detailing teh exact modifications they made to teh gun and what they are able to carry with them in survival supplies in just the gun itself. Its so sexy.

Picking up a new CMMG AR lower soon...

Shopping for my first AR. Thinking about a Noveske 16" Recon upper:

with an RRA lower with 2 stage trigger:

I'd appreciate any feedback!
