The VUK feels like a Galil Ace at home though, and like most PSA items, the 1st run is going to suck. If they can keep the price down and not have bad QC then it'll be sick.

Yep. Hopefully they finally announce the Saber jakl at SHOT next week

Ahahahahha

Looks like generic nearfuture sci-fi gun, not sure what to think about it but from PSA I'd be hesitant to drop on Esamir with it if I don't see the guts and potential failure points.

Looks neat.... A fine meme rifle tbh.

I'm guessing long stroke gas piston from the JAKL or PSAK

OCL continues to fix people's dead air cans when dead air is ghosting people with their shitty CS. They are definitely cool.

Ahaha

Silencerco chads keep winning

It's QC is probably going to initially suffer cause PSA has way too much shit going on at once and their qc department probably looks like this

Yeeeppp

Don't forget their new shotgun and the new 5.7mm MP7 clone thingy.

Won't this burn out barrels much faster? Though, even if it does burn barrels faster most people don't shoot out their ar15 barrel to begin with. The further added cost of "proprietary technology" also makes me hesitant to believe Bill that it's here to stay. 300-400 fps gain out of a 16in barrel is cool and all, but I can just buy 77gr fairly cheap (commonly 50cpr from PSA) that will deliver its payload well without the added fps. Lots of give and take proposed with that new case and hotter ammo.

If Bendy Bill could make ammunition that only Geissle guns could shoot, he would.

He'd call it "Super duper ammo" or something

just how shitty is the VP70 really?

how bad did officer Leon have it in raccoon city?

I'm surprised they didn't give Leon some kind of glock lookalike considering glocks were already well being issued at the point where the game takes place, and he's already been through academy, So he should have been issued his handgun. Maybe they wanted to be unique idk.

The standard issue sidearm for Raccoon City PD was the Browning HP, which is why Claire had one. She took it off a dead street cop. IIRC the reason Leon had the VP70 was because it was either his personal pistol, or he was transferring to RPD from a different PD. I think a Walther P5 or P88 would have been a more interesting choice for him, but then it wouldn't have been able to accept the burst-fire stock as an upgrade. That there is the real reason the devs chose it.

 

[DocAwe]

Should have been a Beretta 93R instead.

 

[Samhain]

Won't this burn out barrels much faster?

Yeah, but it's not like you'd have to shoot it all the time. Would be particularly nice in SBRs. Everyone loves how handy their sub-13.7" barrels are, but velocities out of them aren't so hot.

 

[The Dude]

I think they saved that one for Code Veronica. The only Raccoon Police officers who used any Beretta sidearms were STARS, and those were custom for their team. Besides, the 93r wouldn't make as much sense gameplay-wise since it comes with the burst fire as standard, not an optional upgrade.

mediocre accuracy with bizarre inverted sights, stapler trigger, extremely robust and reliable, works very well as a post sample (i have a converted VP70Z with the VP70M's stock and modified the slide to accept it together with a shop made disconnector). it's also heavy, clunky and awkward to hold. i got it due to seeing "Aliens" in theater rather than the Resident Evil games, but it's a cool gun nonetheless.

 

[Distant Ranger]

Has anyone had any ak kits built out? I bought a receiver and a parts kit a while back and I'm curious to see if anyone has a recommendations as far as gunsmiths go.

 

[crab fucker]

Does anyone in this thread know of any good videos or playlists on youtube (preferably) or somewhere else that break down the AR-15? Like a good in-depth guide on components, operation, and maintenance? I've been looking for a good series to show a family member of mine that I'm teaching to shoot, but youtube's search algorithm is so fucking gay that all I can find is grifters trying to sell me lowers and optics.

If this is actually your load out.... Hell yes. Long stroke piston 5.56mm rifle and a Casio

An excellent movie choice featuring the VP70.



Now for the real questions, I'll be building a 6.5mm CM rifle in a chassis master this year.


It'll probably be a Tikka T3x ctr 24 inch plus.... Either a KRG X ray or a KRG whiskey 3 chassis.

X-ray is lighter and more plastic, X-ray is heavier and more aluminum.

Between the two, which one or should I go with another brand?

Anything in the channels are good. I've met Mike (Mrgunsngear) and his overview guides are great. Eg. Building a budget ar or ar basics)

Makes sense. Some places even after glock started being adopted were slow to change to the brick, whether that be due to bureaucratic or personal preference reasons.

SOTAR and as the other user said Small arms solutions who's written an entire book about the AR to follow up with Ezells original book, he has worked at Colt and others and knows a fuck ton and was there himself during many key periods. Personally not a fan of Mrgunsngear but that's due to his fear mongering clickbait, and not his gun knowledge.

S&W, in cooperation with Lipsey's has ressureceted the model 629 "mountain gun". A .44 magnum with a tapered light weight barrel designed for carry in the bush. it makes for a very well balanced .44. the gun features fancy wood grips made by tyler gun works.

They have also brought back the 686+ mountain gun as well. neither feature a hillary hole.

 

[DuckofDoom]

Larue MBT2S triggers are an amazing value and shit all over Geisseles offerings that cost 2x as much . I believe he made them just to do that.

The MBT2S is easily one of the nicest AR triggers out there, and are a easy recommend at their price. I've installed one in every AR I've owned.

To this day I'm asshurt I didn't get the 617 Mountain gun

Andrew seems like a cool guy.

I think he's great. I've interacted with him for years on IG, well before OCL was a thing. We used to shoot the shit about powerlifting and steroids. I don't know him in real life, we're just IG pals. I think I'll purchase one of his 7.62 Infinity suppressors.

the reticle ruins the entire thing.

That's my biggest complaint about Vudu 1-10X scopes. They're pretty damn good all around but those fucking reticles!

Mateba carbines

Dude, I don't know how you do it but you find the most niche firearms stuff available. If Sherlock Holmes was a real person that lived today even he'd be awed by your autistic detective skills.

Yeah, but it's not like you'd have to shoot it all the time. Would be particularly nice in SBRs. Everyone loves how handy their sub-13.7" barrels are, but velocities out of them aren't so hot.

I don't get these barrel lengths. It's one thing to default to either a 16" barrel because fuck the whole SBR stamp thing, or a pinned and welded 14.5 because one still wants a legally compliant clone rifle build. But 13.7"? I say if one wants a legit SBR for either a truck rifle or because they plan on shooting people inside buildings, why not just get an 11.5" in 5.56 or a 8.5-10" in .300 BLK?

Why am I not surprised you have this? It wouldn't be surprising to learn you had a Mateba and/or a Mateba carbine, too.

I came here to post about this very thing. Part of me likes the idea of this one, especially the tapered barrel and the 3/4 length underlug. The front sight is alright, too. But how will these be priced and will it be competitive with the Colt Anaconda? Those of you that know this stuff better than I do, please chime in.

Ty and other poster for suggestions. So far I'm liking what the Ivan guy has to say, I watched one of his other vids about ARs. I think he gets a bit too autistic when he's arguing with people in his comments though as far as 'what is the definition of sabotage?' lol but he ain't bad. I don't know enough about Small Arms Solutions, but I found him arguing with people in the comments of other people's ar-15 videos (Fullspectrum being one of them, idk where his kiwi account went). I guess his career at Colt wasn't really as illustrious as he likes to claim? But idk.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

MSRP is 1,199$. The Colt is going to be a bit better made in my opinion, and much stronger.
