Show your guns!

I've had the CZ on a longer list of 'wants' for a while now, but with the Ruger American now available, it will likely shift their way. I don't own a Mini 30, but I do like that it uses Mini 30 magazines. Plus I've been pleased with the Ruger Americans I've owned so far. A different stock would be nice - I'd be happier with one in wood laminate, like they put on the Scout, but not necessarily a deal breaker.

Got some other guns ahead of a bolt 7.62x39 that need to be purchased first though.

Here you go! Boyd's laminate. Not cheap, but an option...

You know, I'm not 100% sure about that Dr. Watson info any more.
It was something I read a long time ago.
Supposedly, it was the revolver he used during his time in the service. So, whatever was being issued medics in the 18....70's? is what he would've had with him.
I think your Adams revolver dates from the 70's/80's, right?
Regardless, Holmes's gun was a Webley & Scott Metropolitan Police. That I remember for sure.


Dean

Yeah, i'm pretty sure you're right about that. I can't say either way about Watson, could have been an Enfield too. Tho I think you're right about it being the Adams, but probably a MKIII.

 

[DeanMk]

Could be. I tried doing more research, but so far....stonewalled.
Doesn't the Enfield revolver stem from WWII or there abouts?
That's where that .38/200 round came from. It was chambered for the Enfield.
I think it was supposed to be a replacement for the big Webley Mk. VI, but never completely took over.

There have been a few different Enfield revolvers, some are BPC revolvers dating back to when Watson would have been issued one in India... or Egypt or in the Boer Wars... I don't have the most refined of details about them.
Wiki says the Enfield MKII's were issued to the NW Mounted, for whatever that is worth.

$2,000 gets ya a forged receiver and more U.S parts than the M1A. Which is part of the cost.

Well bobo you done did it. Just put in an order for a JRA

Ya know, now that they came out with one that's cheaper but still comes with a forged receiver its tempting for me to get one!

But I'd need to trade a gun and none of what I have I'm willing to part with.

Also has a black walnut stock and handguard, instead of the plastic piece a lot of em i see have

 

[Boboclown]

But who doesn't want polymer on the M14? I kid I kid to each their own. I prefer wood on the M14, the only exception is the EBR chassis (which I still find ugly).

Eh, I have a FAL to keep me company in the brush though.

If ironwood designs hurries up with their metric wood furniture i might just pick up a dsa voyager 21"

Yeah, I noticed some references to Enfield as well, so I did a little side-researching and yeah, turns out they've been around about as long as Webley has.
I had always been under the impression that Enfield didn't build revolvers until the war.
...learn sumthin' new, every day.

If you can, try to get an older DSA with the DS prefix and Austrian (STG-58) parts. Or an Imbel that doesn't have the bipod cut if you really want to go the wood route.

Well they got the lithgow l1a1 kits that dont ship to washington
From my perspective any fal other then a FN is a compromise ide just go with the easiest to find option, atlantic firearms has always done good by me

 

[Boboclown]

FN doesn't mean best of the best. Keep in mind, it was the Austrian STG-58 that had the best barrel any FAL could have in regards to accuracy.

DSA's new FALs are hit and miss. There's a reason why I'm still sitting on my Imbel kit instead of buying a receiver from DSA and building from it (need more tools to fix a bad receiver).

Im thinking more from a collectors stand point then from a quality and effectiveness perspective,
I got an ar10 if i need a tool chambered in .308 ya know

 

[Boboclown]

From a collector's perspective, then you'd certainly want a build using foreign parts over a brand new one.

Such as a Rhodesian FAL that still has its paint on it (Rhodesians never die). Or maybe a G1 build, etc. many countries, different FALs, different stories, etc.

Nice wheel fun family you've got there...

 

[epanther99]

Ide watch your wallet 30-06 is an easy round to love
Unfortunately not as cheap as the round that replaced it

Depending on what kind of ammo you are looking for, I was able to get some pretty cheap Korean surplus ammo in 30-06 a little back from J&G sales.

 

[Basedgreaser]

Never realized how simple these really are

 

[Boboclown]

Folk with their fancy schmancy AR builds and fancy schmancy scopes are cheaters. >.> <.<

But... I can play DMR game too?



P.S I really hate that grip, any recommendations for a relatively cheap but simple grip?
