The gun thread...

[mattc113]

I just picked up a brand new Kel-Tec Sub2000 9mm with 3 clips, 2 boxes of ammo and a hard case for $250.. Good deal?

It is my first rifle since I was a kid and I had a bolt action .22 beater. I know nothing special or crazy expensive but it fired smooth and nice and was cheap. I was attracted to how small it was, interchangeable clips with the glock and how easily it folded down to 16".

Ill post some pics from the range tomorrow with it. I am looking forward to attending my first gun show in years this Saturday as well.

let us know how you like it, ive been looking at getting one as well.

i wonder what the range is? one of these plus a cheep red dot would make a nice plinker as i have the stuff to reload 9mm.

It is an Arsenal sgl21-63, it has the Warsaw length stock on it, Warsaw length buttstocks are made to the original AK-47's stock dimensions, while NATO length buttstocks feature a 1.25" increase in length of pull. While I am a fan of woodsets, the rifle came with the OD stock, Arsenal stocks are manufactured in the US so they are fully 922R compliant. The lower handguard has a stainless steel heatshield which seems to help keep the polymer from heating up after a few mag dumps.(•NATO length is 10.5" •Warsaw length is 9.25") I am 5'10" and the stock fits me comfortably, and I also like the original pistol grip.

I looked at several other variants- Romanian Wasr's, Chinese Norincos, milled Polish, etc. They were either beat up with 40+ year old parts mixed and matched together on new (non spec) receivers, or had canted front sights and other issues...or they were in decent shape but cost the same or more, than the brand new, mil-spec, Arsenal, and without all of the added features. Ive been shooting mostly Tula and Wolf 124gr FMJ military classic that I can get for around $0.20/round, and the corrosive surplus ammo is available for slightly cheaper in bulk.

I was thinking of the Wasr... I haven't really decided anything yet.

For the prices on Arsonal's website it wpuld be kind of a toss up to do that or get an AR that could reach out a little ways and touch something. My brother just got a brand new DPMS on sale for $599... shoots very nice.

Researching and comparing are about as fun as shooting them though.

I think Buds has the best price on the SGL's right now. I almost bought the 5.45x39 AK74 version when I got mine but I like the barrier penetration capabilities of the 7.62 round. There are good Wasr's out there but I couldn't find one in very good condition and I refuse to buy a used gun sight un-seen.

Not a bad rifle. I like mine, nice and lite(light?). Needs some sling points though.
Hoping to get a coyote with mine over the holidays.

You guys can't have rifles sent to your house?

The 5.45 is interesting but short of ordering off of the internet I couldn't find any ammo for it in stock locally. It is also smaller than our .24 cutoff for deer hunting which is another strike against it... also why I ain't crazy about a .223.

Dunhams in Des Moines (2 hours away) has Wasr's normally at $450 but can be caught on sale for $400. I won't buy a gun I can't play with first, I haven't made it up there to check them out at all.

Do you have a link to Bud's? I found a Buds Gun Shop but they didn't have any Arsonal's listed.
