OK, I know this post was from a long time ago but I am going to go look at a Gen II GSG-5 this afternoon and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I know about the ATF ruling on the barrel shroud on the SD models, and that the first generation ones had lousy stocks that would break; but from what I understand they are great little rifles. The seller has three mags for it, plus a delrin charging handle buffer and replacement push pins (not installed). It has less than 500 rounds through it and he's asking $350. I sent him the link to see if it was affected by the ATI recall and am waiting to hear back on that. Cheers! M2

7mm punches quite a kick, similar to a 300 Win Mag. You hunting larger game? As otherwise, you may want to consider something smaller, such as a .308 or even a .270. Plus, price 7mm ammo...it ain't cheap! Cheers! M2

Way too much AR talk going on, time to post a pic of some true "assault rifles!" I guess I need to put magazines in them the next time... Cheers! M2

Shit, if I can get away with it, anyone can! Good luck! M2

I wouldn't get too excited about JFCOM "going away," because in the long run this will most likely only amount to them no longer being a COCOM and a few of their functions being eliminated. But for the most part, the folks there aren't getting too excited about this impending doom just yet...and just to caveat that, JFCOM controls the program I am currently working on, and was to be the new owner of the organization I work in.

Don't hold your breath, especially with the USPS or ATF; as neither are likely to do anything about it from what I have been told...

I used to believe USPS money orders were the safest way to pay for a firearm bought online, but from what I've learned the Post Office will make zero effort to investigate if the deal goes south. I guess I've just been lucky with the transactions I've been involved with, but there's always a chance of getting ripped off. Sorry to hear it happened to someone on here... On a different note, I picked up the Yugoslav M70B1 (not M70AB1 as I originally thought) parts kit as well as the complete rifle. As you can see in the above pics, the previous owner of the rifle didn't like the unfinished wood so he finished it. Plus, the sling was put on like a Chinese AK, not with a loop on the receiver. The "parts kit" furniture was authentic Yugoslav-issue, complete with markings on the stock. I was dreaming there might be some "trench art" from the Bosnian war, but it wasn't to be; but I preferred the more authentic furniture so I swapped them out. I still need to do the same with the gas tubes, the rifle was practically pristine whereas the parts kit one was heavily fouled. I also need to insert some 1/8" x 1" long strips cut from a Coke can as the handguards are a little loose (as usual). Those will solidify things up quite nicely... Pics inbound, but for now I got a nice M70B2 with authentic furniture on it, and if I sell the remaining parts kit and furniture I could have gotten it for ~$300-350. Cheers! M2

T-bonez Sweet grab, brother! As I've mentioned before, I have a 1954 Colt .357 (pre-Python) that was my Dad's... It is and always will be the most valuable firearm I have if only for that fact. I actually have the original receipt from the lieutenant my Dad bought it from. Switching gears, I am heading out to pick up the M70AB1 Yugo AK parts kit tomorrow; but found a complete rifle for sale nearby and most likely will be grabbing it as well... Life is good! Cheers! M2

The first rule of Fight Club is...

Thanks BF, I may just do a screw build as it would be easier and I am just looking to rebuild it back to operational status and it'll have to be 922r compliant anyway... Cheers! M2

I am picking this up on Monday… It is a Yugo AK-47 "parts kit" with everything except for the trigger and sear/disconnector. Obviously, the receiver was cut in half. That is because one of the rails inside the receiver was broken, and the seller wanted to sell it as parts instead of a functioning rifle. The good news is that the barrel is already pressed into the front trunion, and is threaded for a muzzle brake/flash suppressor. A bud recommended a replacement receiver from Nodakspud (the NDS-5 is for fixed stock Yugo), and reminded me that I need six 922r compliant parts. The NDS-5 would be one, a TAPCO G2 trigger three, a gas piston one more, and a handguard would add up to six. However, another bud believes that is already a US-made pistol grip on there, so that's one less item needed which is great because I hope to keep the Yugo furniture on it. This would be my first attempt at an AK build, has anyone done one before that can let me know if is there anything else I should know? Cheers! M2

Correct on all accounts, although the hair and facial scrub is long gone... But retirement is nice...I don't have to wear blues on Mondays! Cheers! M2

Yeah it does, doesn't it?

Fuckin' A, bubba! Well done! Cheers! M2

That's a 570 yard par 5, well played! Cheers! M2

Eh? I think/hope you're the only one "humming" Dos Gringos, but I am sure they appreciate it!

Shit, the semi-auto go for about $5K here, bolt actions about $3K...it's the ammo and finding someplace to shoot 'em that's the biggest pain... By the way, that's me holding a Barrett M107 in my avatar! Cheers! M2

God bless Texas! Cheers! M2

There's a little more info in the CSAF Ops Update on SIPRNET. There's a link to the USAF Ops Group web site on the BaseOps page if you need help finding the brief. To the crew!

This site has one for sale, but you have to email them for the price... AutoWeapons.com

He is posting from Offutt (IP lookup), so let the fun continue...

OK, here are a couple of pics of my new Saiga... This is one with my Bulgarian bayonet on it... I just put the Bulgarian sling on it, which I think looks really nice. It is very similar to the Russian AK sling, but in black. Pure sweetness! Cheers! M2

No experience myself, but a lot of info on it can be found at this web site. Apparantly they were really popular with the SEALS in Vietnam. Here's one account: Cheers! M2

No need to explain, as long as we're talking about this, I understand everything I need to know!
