Talking about this brave thing. I think there's a difference between taking full advantage of what's allowed and being stupid. General public frowns upon the NFA firearms, SBR, SBS, MG, Ailencer, etc. They are perfectly legal to own following the right rules, but the general public thinks that they are completely evil. Broadly speaking the reason that the NFA restrictions and past bans have been allowed to stand is the common use clause, or they aren;t in common use. The more of them that are legally owned and in cirulation, the more exist in common use, and the more ammunition we have for overturning the restrictions.
If we break the rules and falunt it, that's just giving them ammunition to use against us. Illegal ownership and blatant display of MGs just paints a negative picture for them to use, regardless of how the firearm was actually used. The courts, jurys, and public aren't looking at the fact that this guy illegally owned them, they only see people with a MGs and lump them all together. People flaunting shouldered pistol braces all over the internet, the general public sees an SBR loophole. Binary and FRT triggers rapid firing all over the internet, that's just ammunition to use against people because the public sees machine gun.
Fighting while working within the system is smart and brave. Flaunting things like illegal ownership of MGs or silencers, "questionable" use of braced pistols, and rapid fire from bump stocks, binary triggers, or FRT. That's stupid, not brave.
That's my opinion and you aren't likely to "change my mind" there, so take it for what it's worth to you.
Both of these recent acquisitions are Turkish manufacture, which some people look down on.
Every country can make good and bad firearms. Just look at us here. You've got everything from top dollar (take your pick) to the lowest of the low (IE: SCCY, Highpoint, etc). I've never owned a Turk shotgun, but the Turks do make some good guns. I can't speak for many of the brands listed, but will say take a Canik for a spin. Damn good guns at a damn good price.

Now back to the topic of the thread. Brought two "new" ones home today. Not new, not even new to me, but new to my collection (for now). Couple from dad's collection came over for a long term visit. Pardon the photos, they are from a photo inventory we made 15-20 years ago. Will have to get some new ones when I can get good light setup.
Ruger NM Single Six w/ LR & WMR cylinder
Pietta RE44 (1861 Colt Navy Replica) .44 Black Powder
The Single Six I want to add to my collection as a 22 caliber companion to the NM Super Blackhawk I bought a little while back. The Pietta got rusted and siezed up from sitting. Not sure I'll use it, but do want to get it cleaned up and servicable. Managed to get the action freed up this afternoon. Need to figure out disassembly (google search will answer that) and figure out how to properly clean and treat the corrosion.
