Mega Rad Gun Thread

There's an American company that's going to make svd dragunov "clones" but apparently they aren't actually up to spec.

It's unfortunate that these companies that want to reproduce old designs can't just copy the original and feel the need to make them in different calibers and "upgrade" them.

Especially because the majority of people that want them want them to be as close to original as possible.

This makes absolute sense from a business stand point. Sell as many guns as possible, make as much money as possible. Both to stay afloat, and of course profit. From the end user/collector perspective, it doesn't make sense.

$400 MSRP for a 5.7 isn't that bad and it's probably legal in some ban states. Seethe all you want but I like it. Might get one if I get a fat tax refund.

Agreed, but 5.7 itself is also expensive to shoot, so something to consider

I'd want one of these 5.7 Kek-Teks for the novelty if nothing else. Honestly might increase in value if it gets discontinued because people are weirded out by the clip loading.

The new S&W classic series revolvers for this year do not have the Hillary hole anymore.

Personally loving the look of the lockless Model 10. One day man, one day.

For $6500 I'd much rather get something else, like one of those new Stg-44s being made in the US to original specs and on original tooling, or an Ohio Ordnance M1918A3 BAR. Honestly, I don't get the appeal of most Russian weapons.

"Grass is greener" syndrome.

It's literally because we can't get them here, not because they're "good".

Also, has anyone seen that company last year apparently planned on bringing reproduction FNC's to the US this year at shot?

Not reproductions, license-built Indonesian guns they've been making for decades. Either they hit a money issue or they hit an importation issue is my guess. Their plan was to remove the stocks from full-size FNC rifles and import them as pistols which seemed kinda sketchy.

the normal way companies get around this is by importing them with a thumb-hole stock and a single stack mag well. the guns are then converted in the US back into original spec. this is how saiga's and SCARs for example come in.
