You found it for MSRP?
DAMN.
I really like Kel-Tec. I think Kelgrin and his team come up with really neat ideas. I hope one day the quality and reliability of their weapons is up to par with other manufacturers who make weapons for defense.

I have a black Magpul VFG and the MOE Scout Mount for the MOE handguards. They're black. I'm pretty sure I can find the VFG and I'm 50/50 that I know where the MOE Scout mount is.
If you want them let me know and I can mail them to you.
I also have a plastic CAR stock. CAR stock > M4 stock.

If you just want to be rid of them i'll be more than glad to take them.
The M4 stock is ok, but it looks goofy on this rifle. Problem is it's a commercial sized tube & i'm just not going to spend the money on a replacement stock that I can only use on one of my rifles, I'm also not comfortable going & torquing on a polymer lower just to swap to the correct tube.
Besides, with prices & availability coming back in line this might end up with an aluminum lower & complete MP furniture anyway.
I will say the desire to build a 5.56 version of this is getting stronger every time I pick it up. Saw a few slick sided SP-1 uppers at the last gun show for $100 or less, I'm half kicking myself for not picking at least one of them up.
Damn you black rifle disease.

Yes, that would be quite suitable.
30-06 has enough punch to take down the majority of game in the north American continent.
If you are on a budget perhaps look into a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifle.
They are WWII Russian surplus & can be had between $100-$200 depending on condition & where you get it from.
It is .30 caliber (7.62x54R), 5 (five) round magazine fed, bolt action rifle.
Ammunition is relatively inexpensive. Power wise it's about inbetween .308 & 30-06.
It's not the easiest rifle to put a scope on if you were looking to go that route but as is it is more than accurate enough to get the job done with a little practice.
What are you going to be hunting?

I'm well known among my friends for having some massive ape like hands, so this new Springfield XDs 9mm I just bought looks even smaller.

Nice CZ-82! I grabbed a Bulgarian Makarov from a local place a few months ago, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Was thinking about looking for a CZ-82 when the Bulgy Mak just appeared, and I couldn't hesitate...

Sweet.
I had a Russian commercial Makarov for a while.
Not a bad little gun, even if it was a bit rough around the edges.
This CZ just blows it out if the water tho. Fit & finish, just quality.
If you find one under $300 don't hesitate to buy it.

Yeah man, I'm careful as hell. I love big ass revolvers.
My younger brother (21yo) however, not so careful. I was about to beat the shit out of him once at a firing range but didnt because some federal marshals were right next to us.

I thought I'd pop in here and throw out a "what's up?" Haven't been here much and my shooting season has been shit thanks to sky high ammo prices...either way, carry on Neo soldiers....

Haha.
No, just the NRA but I need to join the SAF also.
I'm also in the ACLU but unfortunately the national branch still adheres to the "collective right" theory of the second amendment.

Rather than my normal type of post, I'm going to ask a serious question to all my firearms friends here.
The article here..
http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/10/20/remaining-lead-smelter-usa-closing/
I'm curious what other here think about this.
I can only imagine it will drive up the cost of ammo. Aside from that I wonder if it really is a type of economic warfare as it's been nearly impossible to try and change the 2nd.
As firearms are rather useless without ammo, I'm curious to see how this affects things because we are still having a huge shortage of everything but birdshot here.
At the very least I would think once this gets around that what little there is to be had will be bought up and only help to extend the shotage.
