Considering what WASR's cost and the prices on "Tacti-cool" stuff that is not surprising.Drago wrote:Pacanis, you seem to have similar tastes in "fun guns" as I do. Nice collection. My WASR used to look like yours until my "tacticool" bug hit me. Now, I have more money in accessories than the original rifle cost!

Re: Some modern fun guns
Man, that's so true. Which is why, when I wanted to play around with some different "modern" items, I bought a WASR. I really don't consider a WASR a collectible, military surplus rifle. It's a modern rifle built with some surplus parts. Big difference in my mind. While my front trunnion IS built from a 1965 Romanian AK, the rest of the rifle is made up of new parts or surplus parts. If someone has a problem with that, then I'd like to know. I'd never alter an actual foreign arsenal built rifle, no matter how cool some new gadget might appear.OLD OUTLAW wrote:Drago! Real enough for me when I look at what the Tacti-Cool Mall Ninjas are doing on the other place. Most of them don't know what they are talking
about either. Yet, they buy it, mount it, and post it. If they can't afford the basic AR platform, they cut up the SKS and make it look like an AR.
I like how my WASR turned out, actually. It's lighter than stock, even with an actual Russian TIP2 4X6 siderail scope on it. It also shoots as accurately as my Polytech and Norinco AK's.
Re: Some modern fun guns
That's right. Don't hate on the WASR.
You see in this world there are two kinds of people my friend, those with loaded guns... and those who dig. You dig.

Re: Some modern fun guns
The WASR is a modern commercial sporter like my Bulgarian SLR95, or Egyptian Maddi, play away with them, nobody will bother you for that here.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Some modern fun guns
I didn't think so, but being a firearm purist at heart, I didn't want people to think I also don't have fun with the "black" stuff, either. The WASR seemed like a perfect candidate to mix new an old technology together. Here's really all the tactical firearms I own, in one pic. This is all I ever plan on owning, as well.Junk Yard Dog wrote:The WASR is a modern commercial sporter like my Bulgarian SLR95, or Egyptian Maddi, play away with them, nobody will bother you for that here.

Very nice millman. I love the look of those wood grips on the Taurus. Classic look.

Re: Some modern fun guns
Oh I own black rifles also, I even have a couple of AR's, a Bushmaster XM15, and a H2 built on an essential arms receiver back before the ban, I used to have a Colt SP1 but I sold it for a shitload of cash back during the Ban and bought a pile of milsurps instead. Bought the AR's and the FAL's just to piss off Bill Clinton, no other reason, tell me what rifles I can and can't own based on looks alone will they, well they can just go and bl.....never mind.

Re: Some modern fun guns
Nice weapons gentlemen! I may have to do one black firearm someday, but I already have too many military surplues on the list. These photos make it very tempting though

Re: Some modern fun guns
I don't own any Tactical or "cool" or any black rifles....yet. I might be able to hold 'em off for a while with these though. If not I can try a few others I have and I'll get it right eventually.

Re: Some modern fun guns
Is that a Ruger (looking at the cylinder release)? What kind? The grip and front sight got me wondering, of course you could have changed them.
I so want one of those rifles!

Re: Some modern fun guns
Looks like a red hawk? The only sorta black tactical firearm I have is a saiga 12. I would like to build a ar-15 this year sometime if money allows. I also see a good many ak's in my future sometime.

Re: Some modern fun guns
Bingo! It's a 1981 Ruger Redhawk .44Mag with a 7.5" barrel loaded with 300gr JHP. I don't have the original rosewood grips. The guy I bought it from couldn't find them. Don't know about the sights. I guess the were also replaced. Not by me though. He did find the original owners manual and sent it to me later. It's a bruiser. That Garand is my favourite rifle. I'm going to take some pictures and post them in the Military Rifle Forum. It's a May/1944 Winchester receiver and is chambered in 7.62x51 NATO with a brans new barrel. It was given to me by my uncle exactly the way you see it.pacanis wrote:Is that a Ruger (looking at the cylinder release)? What kind?

Re: Some modern fun guns
You posted this as I was posting but you hit it on the nose. The picture is an old one taken with a crappy camera and doesn't do it justice. I'll take some better ones later and make a post about it too.ponycarman wrote:Looks like a red hawk? The only sorta black tactical firearm I have is a saiga 12.

Sweet! I love the big bore rugers. Ruger makes a very good and strong revolver.
