Gun collecting

[MrLawless1]

I've been wanting to get an AR-15 for a while now, but with the current draught, I've decided to go with an SKS for easily 1/3 (or less) the price.

Anyone have any experience with the SKS, including what to look for when purchasing?

Thanks in advance. Still hope I can get an AR (or at least a lower) by the Fall...

WOW! That was a great video! Makes it plain & clear! He's basically describing the conversion I'm doing to my SKS. No real functional change, just a cosmetic one.

Glad the thread is back open.

Whoa, just noticed this.... Lee, any help you can lend would be much appreciated...

so today i decided i made a mistake when i got my glock17.

found out about the glock23 conversion and just about cried haha.

I was thinking the same when I got my 19, but I was thinking on just buy a whole gun since the conversion is only half the price. But I strayed away from the 40 and bought a 17.

Personally I'm not into that conversion thing, why buy a .22 conversion for my AR if I can get a .22 rifle for the same price?

I've fired Kimber .22 converted pistols, I can understand the idea of shooting a cheap round out of the same action, trigger etc. But in reality it never seems to work as advertised.

You're probably right, just buy a dedicated .22 if you feel like plinking since it's pretty much the same price.

Just picked up a S&W M&P 15-22 and its awesome...really fun to shoot and cheap to shoot. Plus I love the ability to trick it out a little..a bit expensive for a .22LR but on an AR platform I felt like I got a deal.

Thanks bumblebee. When I came across this board and saw the Viper postings, I was hooked.

but some people has their own opinion and likes doing the conversion

Congrats, I am itching to get the Uzi or MP5 in .22lr, those are a classical piece in 9mm of course.

Welcome to the board. Looks like you love your .22lr and not a fan of .45acp. But I understand keeping certain ammo calibers as slim as possible

A HK45 would be a nice addition to your collection

 

[HK_Deputy]

Thanks darkknight,


You're right about the ammo. I had a HK .45 back in 2002 but decided that keeping so many types of ammo was not for me. The .22s are so much more economical to shoot and you can shoot all day long without spending alot of money.

Not sure what happened but glad it's unlocked. Ironically this is one of the most peaceful threads on the board. Would hate to see it locked for good.

My fault. Apollogies to everyone and Dave.

yeah, been going to the local Sporting Goods store at opening on truck days. Only way to get ammo or anything else. Saturday they got one AR in, and today they only got 2. Sadly I was third in line Today's ARs were 7.62 which I really wanted. Offered the guy ahead of me $200 to let me buy it and he just laughed.

Anyone have any hk45 magazines they want to sell? I'm trying to buy a used one on eBay but every time I checkout it says there is an error and to try again later. It's been like that for two days now.
