  1.  @theonewithin609  40 years old? the 1960s were only 40 years ago? I'm almost 40 and was born in 1983, strange.

  2. Cheap and unfinished, lol, which is exactly why Bushmaster bought them, it fits their standards.

  3. A plastic frame? No one will ever buy a pistol like this?! Oh wait, literally hundreds of millions of them have been sold and the market is growing everyday.

  4. Climb carefully down off that high horse (wouldn't want you to die in such a fall) and think about what you said for just a second: How safe is it? Being unloaded, perfectly safe. Hand in front of the barrel, whatever, it's NOT YET CHARGED! MEANWHILE, millions of Appendix Carry evangelicals are walking around with Glocks, Sigs, and XDs loaded, pointed at their cocks all day, saying 4 O'Clock IWB is wrong and unsafe. There's dumb bumblefucks posing as experts all over, it's an infinite resource.

  5. Federal law would have never let something this cool come out in the 2000s. It would have been an assault pistol and banned.

  6. 150 years ago, the same was said when they wanted to use steel for a bridge rather than stone. The Eads Bridge in St Louis was the world's first steel bridge, it's still in use today at age 150, and when it opened in 1868 not one person or vehicle would cross it. They actually had to have exhibitions with trains and elephants going over the bridge to convince people the 'fragile' steel wouldn't fall apart. It was that scary. Today all bridges are steel and we don't give it a second thought. Maybe it's time you get over your 1860s mindset about plastic firearms, especially in light of the hundreds of millions of them in current global use with excellent records of reliability.

  7. I had one almost identical this this rifle. The only differences were mine had the smooth barrel and a set-screw mounted muzzle brake. It was actually a great gun. Under rapid fire, with the light weight and brake properly mounted, you had to force it UP rather than hold down under recoil. It shot very well. I probably put a few thousand rounds through it over the 15 years or so I owned it. Only issues I had were a broken extractor (replaced with a milspec, no issue), and a broken flimsy charging handle (replaced with a milspec DPMS, no issue). I ended up selling it solely based on all the naysaying of major parts breakage and the lack of replacement parts. I decided to sell it before it broke and became worthless, so I traded it to my favorite dealer straight up in 2017 for a brand new in the box Gen 3 Glock 17.

  8. The one I owned ran just fine without that buffer installed. I dare my current milspec AR to match it.

  9. Bolt actions are also notorious for jamming after every single shot. One day someone will get them to cycle and repeat properly

  10. I think this thing probably sold more units than the SCAR for the reasons you listed. You can buy 3 AR-15s of better quality for the price of one.

  11. Naw, SigSauer holds the record. I shot one once and immediately went blah, ick, and forgot about ever buying one. Their proportions are weird. Don't like the angles. It's why I bought an HK.

  12. It can't be forgotten yet, it isn't even here yet!

  13. It's just like the Springfield XD: a complete piece of shit, that for some unknown, unknowable reason people like. (Opinion)

  14. But, what is the safety issue with loading close to the muzzle? The firearm is UNLOADED during the period your hand is near the muzzle. I think way too much is made of the risk. I've wanted one since the moment I saw it on the cover of whichever magazine it was, Shooting Times or Guns and Ammo. As far as "only making a few hundred' of these, I've seen them for sale in bulk recently, may have been CDNN. IIRC there may have been some new production on them. For a while there has been a growing market of mounting them under AR-15s as a backup gun grip. Less bias and more facts/research necessary.

  15. Ironically the opposite. It's like handling graphite. Even with wet hands it's dry. The oval handguards on those were like gluey sandpaper, very retentive. Also, zero parts to corrode, it was entirely non-metallic or stainless.

  16. It's identical to what a Tavor would look like miniaturized. Next you'll be hating on Tavors...

  17. "Bet it has another seal on the inside diameter that seals against the guide rod." No. Air pressure was not an effect here. I owned one of these and it worked ok without the rubber gasket on the buffer (lost it for a while, then found it), and it also ran passably with the buffer removed entirely. It was just spring powered. The buffer wasn't weighted or shot filled that I could ever tell, just a plug of aluminum

  18. Yeah, and Kimber should be half priced too.

  19. So does an AR....oh look, the most popular firearm on the market.

  20. Save tons of money buying a real, proper sling, and just go to your sidearm in 0.19 seconds

  21. Actually more like 3d printed decades before you or anyone was aware of the term 3d printing. Sometimes we forget polymer firearms are almost in their 50s, it's not a new thing and it's far past debatable.

  22. All these people ragging on the charging system, yet millions of 'experts' everyday put a loaded handgun in their pants pointed at their cocks all day and call it 'Appendix Carry' and evangelize it as the only 'right' way to carry, and you worship them.
