$2000 to $2500 to spend

[Rusher]

Hey Guys and ladies


I will be getting a large refund from the Guberment and I have alotted myself $2000 to $2500 to spend on my firearm addiction currently looking at:

1) FAL or an M1A
2) Auto-ordanance M-1 carbine
3) Mech-Tech Carbine for my 1911


This is my working A-list......everynight I go to sleep this list gets a little fuzzy.

If you had this alotment of funds how would you spend it ? The idea is to get 3 rifles one being a battle rifle..... second being a smaller carbine .....and third being a pistol caliber type.

I am looking forward to your input.

Me? I'd set some aside for training and buy one or two of the three on the A-list. When I'd taken that one through a formal school & knew it was up and running reliably with all the doodads I wanted, and that I knew how to work it quickly & well, then I'd buy the next on the list.

If I had $2000 or $2500 allotted I would go with the following choices:

1) DSA STG58 - $800 and DSA STG58C - $900. With upgraded handguards, mags, ammo and mounts and the transfer fee we'd be looking still under $2500.

2) DSA STG58 - $800 and PTR-91 - $800. Upgraded handguards, mounts, mags, ammo, mabye enough for a IOR scope.

Best wishes shopping

Buy all three and then spend your entire vacation budget for the next three years on training.

I love spending other people's money.

Word is FN is gonna be producing a semi-auto FNC pretty soon

Spend $2,000 on the training course of your choice at Gunsite (it won't cost that much in tuition, but you'll have to provide transport, accommodation, ammo, etc.). You'll get far more than your money's worth. If you have money left over, then you can buy yourself a new toy.

For $2,195 you could get THIS:

I'd buy the M1A and a genuine USGI M1 Carbine.

That's his vacation budget and he's still got his tax refund left to buy guns. Ain't life wonderful?

With $2500 in hand, I'd buy another AR-15 carbine upper, probably one of the nice midlength Sabre Defense ones, another EOTech to go on top, and maybe a spare refurbed Glock. The rest of the money would go directly to Blackwater.

Word is that was a misunderstanding and they're not.

But they are doing the P90 and 2000.

Hmmm....

P90 + SBR paperwork + barrel cutdown? That oughta be under $2500

 

[one-shot-one]

well

i have the fal, never wanted a m1 carb. and after looking long and hard at the mech tech i decided to go with the beretta cx storm instead. like it so far.
so if it was me i'd soend iton an ed brown 1911. but the training idea also sounds very good.

HK93, plain and simple; could I perhaps persuade you?
