Thank you very much, Bannock! I like the look of it as well, and hope so too! Best of luck and take care -love from Ray

Thanks Dr Rob and Gordon! I'll keep my eye out for a FEG 85m but i havne't been able to find any so far. The Hungarian AMD looks like a nice rifle but it does't have the look I'm going for and is parkerized. A nice rifle, just not what i'm looking for. The East German DDR is beautiful but they...

Hey there, thanks for your response! I'll keep my eye out for a NHM 90 but as you said, they are scarce. MAK90s look very nice except for the "extra safe features" such as the thumb hole stock. I don't want to have to replace a whole bunch of parts to make it 922r compliant. Aside from that...

Hello everyone, I'm on the hunt for an old style blued AK, like the Norincos. However, the Norincos, like the milled Polytechs and the stamped 56's, are very expensive. If I have to, i might be willing to save up and jump the gun on a Polytech. They are beautiful and exactly what I'm looking...

I absolutely agree with you, lemaymiami. I'm only interested in one for having (occasional) fun at the range. Because of having to get an NFA stamp I'll likely just keep the 870 stock. I'm not in a rush! Thanks again everyone. love from Ray

Point taken, DanLee! However, to me some things are cool enough to warrant feeling a little (or a lot) of pain. Except when shooting blanks, I'd suspect that shooting single-handed would be dangerous for you and others around you. I'd highly advise hand-guard use from what I know! Thanks...

Agtman, thanks for sharing the story of how you obtained your beautiful piece. Amazing how well some of those old Colts can shoot, isn't it? i agree wholeheartedly. Sistemas, especially the contract Colts, by no means are historically insignificant. What I'd give to know what mine has seen...

Carl, I actually haven't seen that movie but noticed the picture is from it! Is the film any good? I have noticed similar 870's in other movies, however. I think it's overall a cool gun though very impractical. Thanks again everybody for clarifying the legal details! It has been a great help...

These laws are a trifle confusing to a simpleton like me and kinda nonsensical if I may say so. Not that I'm whining, I find it a bit amusing to be honest. I don't mind getting a $200 tax stamp if it comes down to that. Thanks a ton everybody for clarifying and filling me in on the details! it's...

Thanks a ton everybody, my eyes are opened! -love from Ray

Hello everybody, I'm interested in potentially picking up an old Remington 870 somewhere down the road and sending it off to be converted into a "witness protection" piece, with the stock carved off into a pistol grip and the barrel cut down. Naturally this would just be for enjoying myself...

Coaltrain, If they were still cheap I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. I actually bought a Sistema because i wanted a pre-war Colt GM or issue pistol but didn't have enough money. The Sistema is the closest thing I've seen that comes close; except for a few minor differences, its essentially a...

WVSig, I just noticed that your Sistemas has mismatched grip panels; note the area around the screw holes. My gun game with the exact same combination of grips, even on the same sides! Mine were very worn as well. I wonder if DGFM used more than one contractor for grip panels? Interesting to...

Many thanks to everyone for posting your wonderful pictures and stories and showing your appreciation for Sistemas! Hah, wonderful story Joe. Could you manage to upload some pictures? I know me and many others would enjoy them immensely. Horsemen, there are more physical differences than...

I've never seen Sistema picture thread so I thought I would try to start one. Share your pictures of your Argentine Sistema! I'll start it off with my 1959 production Coast Guard gun. Thanks everybody -love from Ray

Hello OP, You're very welcome, and I'm thankful I could be a help! Stoky, yes, plus p ammunition will wear out a gun and parts faster. However, on a modern-day production all-steel Plus P rated 1911 (especially a high-end gun like a Wilson) this difference is rather negligible. you won't...

As I understand all of Double Tap's .45acp 230 grain defense loads don't over-penetrate, so I'm not sure what you're worried about. (The 255 grain Equalizer load is a different story however.) As for the ammo damaging your gun or shortening spring life, I don't believe you have anything to...

Thank you everybody for your kind comments! I appreciate all of your responses. I didn't even know surplus Argentine ammo was available in the States! Go figure, I guess. That's really cool! Thanks for your response, Mil-Dot! Sorry about that, I guess I didn't view the price as being...

Hello everyone, after much deliberation I purchased a new boom-stick. I'm very happy with it and I got it at a reasonable price. It has a lot of character and is my new baby. For those who don't know already, it's an Argentine Sistema made in Fabricaciones Militares (Dirección General de...
