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.
 
Guess this is the best place for posts like this, but I finally got a meme gun that I've always wanted.

Honestly best case I can see for this is a 10mm bear or hog gun
A buddy and I were hog/coyote hunting the other day and after some considerable bs'ing we decided that putting it on a suppressed ruger mk4 would be a decent idea for night time varmints. Would be a solid skunk or possum setup to keep the pains out of the chicken house.

Most thermal hunting in hog areas you want a rifle because it's not as easy to get close to them after the first time someone shoots at them. Bears I know next to nothing about.
 
man is there a way you can deter possums without having to shoot them? i'm just some random prick online and you've got a coop to keep, it is what it is, but the animal rehabilitation i help out with fucks me up enough to not want them hurt.
bright fucking lights that come on at them suddenly. they avoid those like the plague, but can get used to ones that are always on. strobes dazzle them easily as well as cause mild pain if exposed for more than a few seconds.

I get the sympathy for animals and if not for the chickens I might not care but, they will eat the chickens. Now they're not as bad the skunks in my experience but a penned up chicken is a really easy food source for a critter. So if you catch them around the chicken coop you usually want to off them. I don't go looking for them if they're not messing with stuff though. They aren't hogs.

yeah, that i get. i can't really say not to stop the hens from getting got. from what i know possums don't go there to kill chickens. they're there for eggs if anything but it's just the way of things if a hen freaks the fuck out at them.
 
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.
VSS at least up until the advent of 300/8.6BO was something unique.

Things like the SVD I really dont get. Just a less accurate, less versatile, more costly AR-10.
 
Meeting/owning your heroes is always dangerous but I hope you end up loving it, buddy.
To put it bluntly, I wanted an Uzi a lot more until I actually got one.

I mean, yeah its still pretty cool... but if I actually want to do 9mm PDW stuff there are much better options out there, as the Uzi Pro with a brace weighs as much as an AR, lmao.

It checks the box tho, just like my AK.

My 1 Uzi in my collection is made in Israel, and my 1 AK is made in Russia, as God (or Satan) intended.

It's a very neat design. I would not use it in any competitive situation, but it's an interesting gun with an interesting background. We euros can get Chinese copies on the relative cheap (2300-600 eurobucks) and could get Russian civilian versions for even cheaper before the SMO. I've met people that tried to make it work with long-range sport shooting and they simply gave up, contemporary platforms are just better.

It's not a gun you get for performance, it's a gun you get for collection/amusement purposes. For Americans I guess it's even more so because it's difficult to own one and that adds to the mystique.

Now, if only I could get a cheap Saiga 9mm ....

Aesthetics have a heavier influence than you might think. It just has the right lines.
It's also similar to the M14 in the "Wood and Steel" mindset, that even the most fuddy of gun owners interpret as a badge of precision even if the SVD just for fire support.
 
you can easily get a PSL
The PSL is absolute crap, there is nobody who owns one that hasn't experienced buyer's remorse when they realize how poor it shoots. There have been enough "dragunov" listings for PSLs on Gubroker above MSRP in reserve because they either want their money back or know they have pyrite that gullible retards will fall for.

Just wait until they shoot a "real" SVD
