If i had 12k laying around burning a hole in my pocket i'd buy it for the novelty. I've always thought they were pretty neat guns. they've got that all steel cold war look like the FAL and H&Ks instead of the plastic fantastic bullpup aesthetic that most bullpups have.

The real treasure though would be a EM-2 in 280:

SA80 but 40 years earlier (and by all accounts the better gun).

Longest I've waited was 4 months (and two of those months were waiting for my can to be in stock), so technically I only waited two months for the actual paperwork to be processed. Most of my others were just over a week.

Here's that compact I got the other day with the matchweight that came in, looking mighty sharp I must say I especially like how it doesn't have the current bobbed hammer but the regular spurred one. That circle next to the HK logo stands for jagd und sportwaffen which was what HK in Germany labelled their arms that were slated for non military sales they did this for several years in the 2000's.

Allegedly promotional material for Glock Gen 6

Looks like it has factory stippling and some kind of seam between the front strap and the sides of the grip? Might have factory thumb ledges? Gen 6 modularity confirmed? They also might be doing the things where the dust covers on all the frames are the same length so you can add longer or shorter slides with no issue. The latest production G34's had polymer dust cover inserts to ease manufacturing

I don't normally watch restotubers, considering what a lot of them do to perfectly good tools & firearms for content; but this was interesting...

Backyard Ballistics is very good at what he does, and has revealed the technique of fake restoration channels in an attempt to keep people from being too amazed by them.

This popped up on my feed and I just happened to not know about him or this and clicked thinking I was gonna hate myself for this and was pleasantly surprised.

Mrs basso now refers to each episode of forgotten weapons as "watching an Ian"
 
Did John Browning imagine that his guns would be used 100 years after his death in drone platforms?

(Ukrainian land drone fitted with an M2 engaging a Russian APC)


Also regarding the L85, Bloke on the Range has dropped some very interesting content recently. He acquired one of the few factory semi L85A1.
 
I wonder how long it’s gonna take for my NfA paperwork to go through on my SBS
 

Well, SIG is trying to improve the dumpster fire M7 with an M7A1. Even shorter barrel, material removed from the receiver to make it lighter, removed the folding stock hinge (lol) and a heat shield around the suppressor.

Still have rough recoil, fewer rounds carried and basically no valid use case as a mass issued rifle.... Oh and afaik the US Army isn't even buying the M7A1 ahahah
 
I'm just hoping they don't slow to a crawl after the first, I think I'm going to fill out a bunch of form 1s for suppressors and make some funny stuff.

Taking suggestions on funny serial numbers.

When I SBR'd my Vector I got the tax stamp in like a week, week and a half. It was pretty quick.

I imagine it will take 10 days according to what the gun shop has been seeing recently. I hear that wait is gonna increase to 6 months once it becomes $0
 
Came across this video of a Japanese shop selling "irreversibly" deactivated real guns.
Kind of sad to see such a collection of rare historical firearms being destroyed just so they can hang on a nogunz wall somewhere.

Seemed to have mostly WW2 items but also some wild stuff such as a few micro UZIs, FAMASes, a fucking L85 and a rack of PPSh41s/M31s. A few specific cases are highlighted below. The deactivation process looks to be MIG welding the internals (bolt to receiver, barrel to an internal steel bar), which probably messed up any heat treatment, likely making any restoration difficult but probably not impossible.

Wild to see a rack of MP38s and MP40s that have been deactivated. They are for sale for around 1.4 mil Yen or 9K USD each

Honestly an M2 would make a great living room decoration

A lot of the comments under the video are against the deactivation of the guns but the video author seems to strongly disagree with them.

Well the guy is trying to run a business. As he says, if they weren't deactivated, he might sell like 3 a year. Blame their governments. His sales might even encourage a few tourists to hop on a plane and come over to where they can actually shoot them.

His cope about their "mechanical beauty" or whatever is a bit silly though if he's squirting liquid metal all over the internals, though they do still make neat wall decorations.

Mosins are still showing up in the Ukraine conflict. Browning designs are going to end up being used 40 thousand years in the future. (1911s and M2 brownings are in 40K)

I’ve toyed with the idea for something as a table piece but I’d rather just be able to pick it up and shoot it. I used to have my M1 Garand on my bookshelf for aesthetics. Plus during the Floyd riots it was nice to know I’d always have something nearby.
