Black Rifles: new school vs. old school

[2WheelsGood]

Is that a video camera?

Probably some kind of Superman-like X-ray vision video camera.

Honestly I have no idea whose gun that is. I assume someone put it together to make fun of the tacticool crowd. Then again...

Yeah, I remembered the STG... But they never made a civvie version, did they? When were semi auto FALs available for sale commercially? Forgot about those. My first gun lust as a kid was an SAR-48.... How soon we forget.

They do actually.

Guess I'm old school... mine is plain Jane..

Yeah, I danced with one of those at the RA party in the mid-1970's

Very nice....I am thinking about 3 gun this spring....If I do I will be using a box stock colt sporter.

And if I would ever buy another AR it would be like the one pictured.

man thats a nice rifle. I borrowed one like that for a few years but the owner finally noticed it missing and took it back to make a silly heavy gopher shooter out of it. Maybe my hands are funny but the triangle handguard feels better to me and i am not even thirty yet. where do the bullets come out of the rifle with all the gadets on it?

Out of the bullet delivery gadget. It's a high-cost option.

Cool!

How long have those been available for sale? Certainly not before the Colt SP-1 AR-15, right?

Same here... I dig the standard ARs.

I like to keep it simple... and real. No optics, extra handles or gadgets. Just light and smooth to the touch.

And no clones. Genuine articles.


Got this in 1978:





Got this in 1980:





The 91 was stolen in 1985 so I bought this FAL as a replacement. Cops recovered the 91 in 2002, BTW.

Three beauties!

 

[mshootnit]

a relative has a sp1 with the 3 prong flash hider I believe. Cost 2300 or thereabouts

No, definitely not, but they are faithful (except for lack of an automatic fire option) reproductions of an older rifle than the AR-15.
