Guy sounds like a dick, make sure to leave bad reviews and maybe try to sue for false advertising if he claimed it was an actual RPK.

On a sidenote, why is that black man vomiting Gatorade?

Kahr p380. I was stationed in California!

It's not my fault. It's not my (crying) it's not my fault.

Found an m1 carbine built on a Springfield receiver, and had a paratrooper stock. Bought it as a truck gun, but it never worked quite right. I was so disappointed. Sold it less than a year later.

overpaid for a "factory" scoped chink sks a few years back. would have gotten it for a steal but a faggot from sksboards tried to snipe the auction and drove up the price by over $100 before bailing.

it came with a shit 30 round mag. i got an unnumbered 10 round mag for it but it won't fit and i don't want to file down the mag. the take down latch broke and the handle spins freely so now i have to drill it out if i want to take off the dust cover. even if i replace it the next one will still probably break since i'm assuming the dust cover presses too hard on it due to shit fit.

I just feel so awful because my family is anti-gun and had to deal with all their bullshit from it as well. So I got screwed out of the gun of my dreams, screwed by my excitment and rush, unable to get a full refund so I have to work around trading it for something of less value. I'm being undermined by sellers and my own family at every step and can't stop beating myself up over it.

>>33965987
No he told me it was an AES-10 though not the "b" variant but he said it once and I kept saying what a nice RPK. So he used my own enthusiasm against me.

For real? I've heard nothing but good things about the CM9 trigger.

I plan on buying one in a couple weeks for pocket carry.

>>33966215
Why are we here...

>>33965918
Paid $280 for a Sako M39 with a blown out chamber and a pitted barrel. It was my first rifle and I didn't know any better. I still have it, beautiful gun.

Shot okay too, easily minute of bad guy at 50 yards while standing. Took it out to 75 yards and shot it from a bench rest, easy enough to make grape fruit sized groups with russian milsurp. It's not like it's a bad shooter at all.

Still... I wish I had bought one that wasn't completely used up.

>>33965918
Bought an HK MR556a1 and somewhat regret it. It's a nice rifle but I paid way too much for it and hardly ever fire it since I have way better built ar's for half the price. Man I used to be retarded.

Literally over a fucking year of bullshit and headache.

I've never experienced anything like this.
My only theory is that there was some weird manufacturing error with the frame that somehow caused this.
Opinions welcome.

I feel the same about mine. I have an early production SAKO M39 that is still shootable, but it's also seriously worn. Rifle probably saw heavy service in the Continuation War. I love the history of it, but at the same time wish it wasn't so worn out.
My biggest regrets though:

Lebel 1886. The finish has gone brown and pitted in places, the rear sight is bent, and the tube feeding mechanism can't seem to make up its mind if it's going to work or not. Plus ammo is rare and pricey. Not particularly fun to shoot.

Carcano M41. The magazine is utter shit. The rounds constantly seesaw inside the magazine, causing endless failures to feed. On top of that, the bolt can and will get caught during cycling, resulting in failure to eject. Took it to the range once and realized why Italy lost WWII.

Houston. I bought it off Texas Gun Trader way back in 2008. Sold in 2009.

my entire collection right now, I acquired it rapidly, then just afterwards I was laid off and developed several chronic conditions.

Relax. More people have lost a shitload more money over investments. 900 bucks isn't that much in the long run. I'm sure you can sell a fucked up wasr for 3-400 to reduce your loss.

I've only ever sold 2 firearms and I regret selling both of them. Really wish I had them now.
>full customized 10/22. stainless target barrel, trigger worked over, polished receiver. would stack rounds inside an inch at 100 yds. Sold for $600 online to finance an AR build.
>P22, sold to a friend for $200 for his son to shoot. I told him I wanted it back but he sold it at a gun show before I could buy it back..
I wont ever sell any more guns.

I have a couple buying regrets as well. A friend of a friend of mine was unloading a bunch of guns because he was getting divorced and didn't want the succubus to get them. A few from the collection were a Springfield TRP, a Benelli M1 super 90, and an HK p7. I don't remember how much he wanted for the P7, but I remember he wanted $500 each for the TRP and the M1. I was a broke as fuck early-mid 20 year old and just couldn't put together the cash.

>>33966381
Ejection problems are pretty common in the 70, usually it's the ejector itself that's fucking everything up. If you ask anybody who owns one they'll tell you it'll mangle the shit out of the brass in seemingly random ways, sometimes this ends up being a catastrophic problem which causes jams and the gremlin that ejects the live round with the casing.

>>33966203
>Good things about CM9 trigger
I bought the CM9 because it was cheap (Paid $380 out the door), and small. Basically the smallest 9mm next to the Kimber Solo (shit gun) and the P938 (stupid carry system IMO).

The trigger is pretty terrible. No clean break. No wall, just tons of mushy gritty creep then eventually it fires. G43 is maybe $100 more. Sure it is a hair bigger, but you'll actually be able to hit things with it.

>>33966066
how many jams did you get on your first outing?


>>33966381
how hilarious would it be if the problem was a shitty magazine the entire time? jk, sounds like the frame slide rails were probably cut off center or something.

most 1911 extraction problems are from too tight of an extractor, the fact you had a new slide and still had the problem is weird, how tight is the slide to frame fit? if you can move it side to side, did it wiggle side to side perfectly horizontally or is it a bit skewed diagonally?

i would also guess the ejector on your frame is out of spec, maybe it needs to be ground a bit or shaped better. compare it to a working 1911 if your buddy has one, take measurements with a micrometer

>>33965918

Yeah, I got me one of them hi-point .45 ACPs around 10 years ago.
>Just turned 21, now able to buy handguns
>don't have a lot of cash to blow yet
>get the cheapest, $200 piece of shit I can afford but it's .45 ACP so it means I'm cool

The slide just feels like a rectangular chunk of steel slapped on a plastic frame.

>>33966565
>P22
how could you ever regret such a replaceable piece of cheap pot metal? you can just pick up another one for $250, and they are trash guns anyway

I have no regrets for what I've purchased (though I've overpaid on quite a few firearms, I've saved a shit ton on others), but I do have some that I regret selling, like my no1mk3* enfield, m39 nugget, 1903a3 Springfield, and interarms-brand PPK/s.

Luckily I supervise a gun counter, so I get to finger fuck the shit out of anything new before I buy it which prevents regrets for my personal collection, but I really wish I didn't order 5 Remington R51's in December (I'm still the only one who's bought one where I work), 4 Taurus curves a couple months ago, and 2 kahr arms m1 carbines, none of which have sold

It was replaced multiple times by both the gunsmith and colt. Even tried different shaped ejectors.

Can't be any worse than the trigger on my PF9. I got it because I wanted a small and light 9mm for carry. It's been great, no issues with feed or reliability, but the trigger is god-awful, I expected it considering its DAO but I can't help but wish it had a trigger like my glocks or something.

>Bought a Zastava M85NP before they became a meme (For those who don't know, it's an AK pistol that shoots 5.56 out of AR mags). The fucking thing always jammed after a round or two ever since I got it, thanks Century Arms. I tried fixing it, but it was just fucked and I don't feel like typing out why. I eventually cut my losses and traded it in for a Bushmaster AR.
>Traded in a Sig P238 for a Glock 43. I can't stand the trigger on this fucking thing. I want my P238 back but now they're like $600 bucks. I got the P238 for $300 like fuck my life right?

>>33965918

Ruger Mark III.

Its a good gun; but the take down is a bitch and after decades of producing the gun I never thought that Ruger would actually do something to fix it and then they made the Mark IV.

There's a speed strip kit for the Mark III; but it costs $50 and it still requires an allen wrench whereas you can take down the Mark IV with your bare hands.

Its still a good gun; but I didn't get enough use out of it between the time I bought it and the time the Mark IV came out to keep me from regretting it.

>>33965918
This is why I don't go to gunshows anymore. All of it is over priced junk and scams. Best part was the food court hot dogs.

did your gunsmith or you try measuring the location of the ejector on the slide? maybe there was a defect in the location on the slide, like the hole for the ejector was drilled too far forward or back or something

>>33966659
So what was wrong with it? It looks like a good rifle that would make a nice addition to my collection. I don't have as many military history weapons as I would like. Did it just shoot horribly?

I have mixed feelings about making my first AR-15.

It was a nice experience and I learned a lot about their internal mechanisms but I feel I'd have been better off buying an entry level ar 15 with a warranty for half of what I paid. On the plus side I'm thinking of making an AR-9 and feel comfortable about giving that a try in the future.

>>33966855
I've looked at a lot of Ruger Mark xs. I'd like to have one but I'd end up putting a ton of money into it for a plinking 22 pistol. The P22 I had functioned great and shot good enough.

So you built your own AND paid 2x as much? You did it wrong dude. WTF did you build? When I built my first AR it was about half the cost of buying a completed rifle.

My first handgun was a hi point fohty problem solver. The guy at the store tried to talk me into buying a holster worn p250 for $200 more but I was just a lad and had no money but wanted to shoot, and I had no experience with handguns to base my decision off of. Fudds on the internet told me it was fine. Even nutnfancy said it shot straight. The good thing was that I learned early that you get what you pay for and that nutnfancy is a massive faggot.

Haha, I'm well aware. I'm a califag and it was during the run up to the election so I'm sure I got super gipped too.

Springfield krag. Had a horribly pitted bore, couldn't find ammo, sold it at a huge loss to someone who wanted a wall hanger. Interesting piece of history, but appeal wore off quick.

M1917. Don't like the trigger and it doesn't do anything better than any other mauser style. I still have it for the historical value, though.

Could never get the damn thing to shoot right. Ftf, fte stovepiping You name it if did it.

I regret selling my chink sks that was all matching with zero import marks. It shot like a dream and I had a spike bayonet for it.

Win sx3 shotty.

Fun as shit to shoot, totally retarded for hunting. An absolute CUNT to clean.

I know the term throw away is if you're going to go vigilante or commit a crime with a gun but what is a drop gun?

>>33967292
Pretty sure they mean the same thing, just two different ways off saying it was a "burner" pistol.

I bought a Rossi 92 357mag.

It was okay, but not great. I managed to get the action relatively smooth, but it just wasn't what I wanted. Replaced the sights with a Skinner peep sight and then ended up selling it for what I originally bought it for.

Cheapo hi point pistol for home defense. Had a problem with jamming. The one time I needed it, it jammed.

This. I have a soft mallet and don't mind the takedown on the MkIII, but I don't even have the cool original version. My bull barrel 22/45 is nice, except for the synthetic unchangeable grip. And .22lr is an unreliable, weak cartridge. It's a beautiful machine, way overbuilt, and neat for target shooting for no reason I guess. Maybe if I ever need to live off squirrels I'll use it, or ever shave and cut threads onto the front and pay gubmint for a suppressor permit.

nigger what

remington 200th anniversary edition R1 1911, I bought it on clearance for $250 under MSRP. immediately regreted it looking at ballistics for heavy +p 9mm hollow points. it was hard to find a good holster for it as well. it's growing on me however and I'm realizing there is more videos of people killing eachother slowly taking hits than videos of people mag dumping and reloading in self defense situations. I hope i never have to use it but if I do i want it to make an impression.

I saw a listing for an unfired 1926 M1895 Nagant Revolver. With a 1/2x28 threaded barrel.

I was immediately intrigued because it looked like it was in great shape, and I had just gotten my first 9mm suppressor. For those who don't know, these guns are nifty because the cylinder seals up against the brass case, preventing gas leakage... which allows you to easily (and quietly) suppress it.

>metro 2033 suppressed revolver.exe
>MUST BUY!

I was so excited about my recent suppressor acquisition that I didn't do any research OR look at what they go for. I paid $450 for it. If you know anything about these guns, that price should make you wince. Yes, I'm a retard.

So I get the gun home and immediately realize that you can't get the ammo anywhere and must order it online. fuck. So I order some subsonic cartridges. Finally, with ammo, gun, and suppressor in hand, I walk outside to shoot it. Thread the suppressor on, load it, and pull the trigger.

>thumpBBBZZZZZT

It was very quiet, but it made that stereotypical whining sound of a bullet tumbling through the air... and the round hit 10 feet low. Unusually low. That must mean---

fuck. No, it can't be. So I walk up to the target, and point blank fire another shot at the paper. It keyholed.

>FUCK.

I bring the gun back inside, and inspect it closely. To my horror, I find that the thread job is non-concentric to bore. On top of that, one of the rounds I fired caused a baffle strike in my shiny new suppressor, permanently damaging it.

So not only did I get absolutely fucked on the price of this thing, but it is impossible to shoot suppressed, which is why I bought it. AND it fucked up my $1100 suppressor. This revolver is my most regretted purchase to date. I'm not sure if I should hang it up on the wall or plasma-torch it in half.

Gunshow. Ooh Argentina hi power, cool. Advised my bro to snatch it up. Jams at the range, won't shoot without a ftf or fte. Break it down later and notice the slide is missing a triangle shard of steel. Fug.

Take it back next month - "it was fine before you shot it, but I'll give you $100 for your trouble.

Look online, no one sells slide for the Argentina model, apparently it's different from a standard hp slide.

Live and learn.

>>33971775
I'm glad you had a change of heart. The Model 29 is a better gun than the Desert Eagle for anyone who actually practices with his guns instead of just posing with them.

>>33971312
You used a 9mm suppressor on a .32 caliber gun?

My first purchase ever was an overpriced shitty Century AK GP1975 during the 1st Obama panic (GIT IT BEFO BANNED). Luckily I only lost out on about 200 bucks. Ended up just buying an Arsenal later on when I realized I should have done that in the first place.

>>33971141

The pro is probably the way to go. The base model LC9S has shit sights, mag disconnect and a fucking mile long trigger pull and no discernible reset. Also the mags cost your left nut.

Ruger American Ranch in .223

My first gun. It wasn't so much the rifle itself, in fact it was a fine rifle and i kind of want one again, but the context in which I bought it and the way I set it up. I wanted a scout rifle for plinking and overall fun so I bought a Ruger American in .223 and put a red dot on it. However the only place to shoot it was a bench rest outdoor range, so here I was sitting here with a stubby ass rifle with the worst possible glass for the situation. My first few range trips were not productive lol. I sold the thing when I moved and bought my current collection of a BHP, Glock 19 and an AR.

I kind of want a Ruger American again some day though. The bolt is very smooth and I like the placement of the safety. I will just get a longer barrel and some nice glass for it next time.

>>33966011

Because there are better options for the same price. Would you buy car A for $15K if you like car B better, and it also cost $15K? Don't be such a brand sycophant, you fucking homo.

>>33966346
Sell it to me.

I regret my MP45c. The slide to frame fit was absolutely shit and I could lose sight picture by slightly removing pressure from my support hand thumb.

I don't have any regret buys, except that I spent a shitload of money on airshit in my younger days instead of spending it on real guns.

What I really regret, though, is NOT buying a nugget or SKS when they were cheap. I was old enough, I had the money, but I didn't want to make waves with my antigun parents or the terrified of guns GF I was with after I moved out. Now I'm 31 and kicking myself about all the guns I missed out on in the last 13 years.

I had a .357 gp100 on layaway alonf with a pistol grip Mossberg 500 12 gage and me and the wife were at cabelas anf she wanted to buy her first gun and she wanted me to buy one with her so with out researching i got a remington r51 gen 2 sold it a few months later

>>33971952
Most of tose gp75's are alright. Mixmaster Military parts kit on a nodak receiver. Only negative really is century monkey cant on some and non chrome green Mountain barrels.

7.65 under a thousand feet per second.
I don't care what kind of penetration it gets. If it doesn't have rifle speed that's a small fucking hole. When it was standard and guys were not sure of the shot in the dark, they went in with melee because they though someone else would notice the shot and attack them. Having it in a pinch is okay. I went and got something else when it was all I had. I don't think any of them are enough a person dying is a person cornered and forced to fight, even hunters say to avoid that and wait for prey to bleed out. Putting them into a condition to wait is one thing, getting out of a waiting situation it just wasn't the kind of punch I could be comfortable with.

My first gun purchase was an AWB WASR (single stack, welded muzzle nut, no bayo lug). I didn't even know such a thing existed at the time, I thought an AK was an AK.

Luckily, it was easy enough to unfuck the magwell and muzzle with a dremel. And I learned my lesson about doing my research and never impulse buying a gun.

I bought an M92 PAP with the intention of converting it to an SBR, but I was spoiled as fuck since my first AK was an SLR-104. I put a few mags through this thing and haven't touched it since. The only reason I haven't sold it yet is that I'm simply too lazy to do so.

Might slap a brace on it though, now that we can shoulder them...

Get it. I have owned mine for years. Only issue I had to begin with were some failures to go fully into battery after firing a round, so I replaced the spring with a Wolff extra power spring and it has functioned flawlessly since.

>>33967208
Nothing, mine is super fun and functions perfectly.
Except that chambering a round with the weapon on "safe" or using the decock feature with a round in the chamber will fire that round, assuming you ever find some reason to move the safety away from "fire".

>>33965918
Yeah... maybe.

My Marlin 336W, pic related. I actually like this gun a lot. It shoots fine, the action is smooth, recoil is fun... but she's had some pretty stupid problems and I'm wondering if I should have purchased a different lever gun. The thing was the price was right, and it's my first gun so I was... excited, to say the least.

First, the ejector stops working after three or four rounds. As far as I could tell it was overheating, maybe it wasn't made correctly. Either way I bought a "bear-proof" ejector and never had another problem.

THEN, the band screw holding the forearm in place broke, and the replacement screws I bought broke in short order thereafter.

I called up Marlin and they sent 2 to me at no charge, and they said they changed the metal to make the screw stronger. If I put it in and it breaks right away... I don't want to think of my first gun as a lemon but I'm a little disappointed so far.

Mostly because it has so much potential in my eyes. My Savage MkII is a way, way better gun, but I purchased it on the cheap not expecting much, because all I wanted was a little 22 for plinking. So far my $150 walmart 22 has served me way better than my Marlin.

my favorite one (a JW-25) still suffers from most of the issues like dangerously sharp metal, shitty bluing and shitty furniture but it's fun to shoot and easy to take apart. it also fits my Mauser bayonet and is weighted like a real rifle. the worst thing about all these guns is they have little to no resale value because they blew themselves to pieces and dented and chipped easy so now im just sitting on $450 worth of junk I don't like and have $200 worth of cheap fun. anyways Norinco in itself is mainly a novelty and I'm not giving the yellow man any more of my money

plastic kahrs are shit and always have been. Their metal framed guns are solid, though. Had a cm45 that ate itself up and died after ~100 rounds, but on the other hand I've had a k9 and a k40 since the 90's and with thousands of rounds down the pipe they're still solid. I just bought a new k9 and don't regret it at all. Only real quirk of kahr is to not buy their plastic guns and to make sure you give them a break in period of ~150 rounds.

I bought a ruger lc9s because everyone said it was great but it was actually an unreliable piece of shit. Within 1000-1500 rounds it had to be serviced by Ruger 3 times: first a piece of debris got stuck in the firing pin channel which required the entire slide to be replaced, second the recoil spring broke, third the magazine catch broke. I sold it to a pawn shop for $200 with a shitty promag and sold my good mag on ebay separate.

When I bought my first gun i got a g23. When i learned more about guns i regretted not getting a g19.

Also regret getting my third gun. Bought a ruger charger pistol. Paid $400 at gander mountain. When I learned about 10/22s I instantly regretted not getting that instead and for cheaper. It's a fun gun and extremely portable but still.

I have yet to learn to research before I buy. In my defense they were both impulse buys (not that it's any better)... I tend to do impulse buys. I'm really bad with my money.

Not all the time anon i got my m1 at a gun show

Sig 938 sport. Front sight fell off second range trip. Picky with ammo. Weird trigger that chewed my finger up(lcp doesn't bother me). Take down spring design made out of sugar glass. After 3rd trip to Exeter I traded it for a shield. The good of it is that I learned I am not a fan of single action CCW.

>be french
>brought 2 guns chambered in 30-284w
>can only use one of them without not so much problems

now before you nigga start questioning your daily life, 30-284w DOES exist but only in france
>france, not long ago
>decide that "military" caliber are CatB firearm and thus are limited ownership per people and require papers to fill every year
>nobody like papers but retarded gov't
>so king Jean-pierre Bubafudd decided to create in his very own garage the 30-284w
>he took a 284w case and just slapped a .30 caliber bullet in it
>then he sendt that shit to be tested and IT GOT APPROVED
>now every guns that lived in france during those dark age are chambered in this hipster-tier level of caliber or into somethign else that cost a fuck ton


now here's the thing, in a gun chambered in 30-284w you can fire 7.5 GP11 swiss without problem BUT if it's a rifle from warsaw pact ( chambered in .311 and not .308 ) that mean you have to use 7.62x54r and surplus ammo are all steel cased, wich mean your case get fractured and most of the time stuck in your chamber ( sticky bolt issue )

>>33995962
wheres the regret

>>Start running around like kid in candy store and friend has to reel me in.
>>Planned to buy later in summer so I could make a better decision and find the right gun for me but I'm so happy I can't think straight.
>>Friend no where in sight to stop me.

Truly a stellar example of the iron clad impulse control and careful approach to life that you'd want to see in a gun owner.

>be me
>atta auction
>see double barrel 12ga
>all of my want
>go look at
>completely overlook all flaws because cool as guck
>pay 150 for it
>after going to lgs to complete transfer guy at counter holding my beloved new firearm says, "you don't plan on shooting this do you?"
>wut
>mfw there are cracks in the stock
>mfw barrel is pitted
>mfw there is rust spots I somehow missed
>mfw I have no face

Don't get too excited about a firearm purchase and forget to inspect at the age of 18, you won't make a good decision. I have shot it more than once but it is sketchy that the foreend slides off.

Bruh, you need hollow-ground screwdrivers and less torque than you think.

I bought a sig

I deserved the $200 loss for not doing research. My other two were heavily researched first, a Beretta Cx4 bought for $700 brand new from Classic (first gun I ever shot was a range rental Cx4) and a Steyr M95M (all matching, serial still showing on the bubba'd stock, good bore, present internal clip and intact extractor) that I found in a pawn shop and bought a week later for $345 after doing a shitload of research.

My Vz61. Don't regret the gun itself but I do regret SBRing it. It shoots better as a pistol than as a rifle, the stock wriggles incessantly because of the stock adapter plate (a real one wouldn't).

Pic related. Gas block is an absolute joke. Disgusting stock. Hand guards are laughable, not even a damn heat shield in them, and a basic bitch BCG. It was what I bought as my first gun because I was certain guns were going to skyrocket in price and soon realized my mistake. Really should have just bought a PSA lower and built it from there.

>>34004635

It's not an issue with the stock, but with the stock adapter. With the semi auto pistols, the stock adapter screws to the back of the receiver while on the original guns, the stock mount is a dovetail built into the receiver. The stock mount on the semi auto make The stock amount about an eighth of an inch too far back in the open position. The stock is supposed to rest on the bottom of the receiver but due to the adapter plate it is pushed too far out so it has nothing to rest on, which is why it wriggles. I built mine off of a parts kit and a semi auto receiver. My parts kit included the torch cut receiver and when I put my butt stock on the stub of the original receiver, it did not wiggle. My friend also did the same with the same results. Both stocks wriggle on the stock adapter but not on the receiver stubs

Despite all of this and also later learning the front sight drifts because it feels like it I cant bring myself to sell it. I think because it is my first gun. Also because of my great grandparents fleeing from the USSR around that same time also makes me think of them. Nuggets are good first guns because no matter how bad you fuck up buying one you're not out that much money. It also taught me to do my homework before buying.

>>33966201
I bought a ras 47 for 500 as my first semi auto rifle. It was a piece of shit that had a failure to extract almost every magazine. I mean I had to smack the stock on the ground while holding the charging handle to clear it every time. Ended up selling it for $100 loss. I probably could've gotten more for it but I hated the fucking thing.

>>34006510
You are looking at things the wrong way, anon.

Yes, .45 ACP is usually around 10 cents more per round than equivalent 9mm, BUT that's only when comparing FMJs. Hollowpoints for both calibers has the same CPR (typically 50 to 60 cents depending on brand and load). Furthermore, if you are in a situation where you have to fall back on shooting FMJs because you ran out of hollow points (think Katrina 2.0), a .45 ACP FMJ is going to be significantly more effective in terms of terminal ballistics than a 9mm FMJ.

>>34009057
I specifically stated "for shooting recreationally".

Regret Buying:
A cut down, single shot Hopkins & Allen 12ga. I have a major fetish for short shotguns, I was having a dry gun show, and was about to leave with the ole gun-purchase blueballs. Then I saw this minimum-length bubba'd piece of shit for $100 and bought it. It's still KINDA cool and a good vehicle for testing home loads since I don't care about it. But it was pretty unnecessary and the money could have been saved for something worthwhile. Pic is related but not actually mine.

Regret not buying:
WASR-10 at a flea market for $200 (painted black by some nameless bubba but that's fixable)
FN-FAL at a gun show in the 90s for ~$350
A Hand Nugget back when they were $80 goddamn dollars any day of the week. Now people want $300+ for 'em. I even traded a carton of homegrown eggs for several boxes of 7.62 Nagant, and don't have a gun to shoot them out of.

>>33975781
when i latch it on the tang attached to the rear sight base the magazine won't seat fully in the receiver, so i can't attach the trigger housing to keep it in place. i can either grind down the tang, or the magazine to make it fit.

the rifle would be pretty cool since it uses a PU mount, but the problem is that they were put together from spare parts that importers had laying around hence why everything fits like shit. i can't checked whether the bolt matches, but everything else on the rifle is either unnumbered or non-matching. chances are very good that it has shit head space too, now that i think about it.
