Tinker's route? i might need an explanation, albeit probably not here, we're dragging this off topic alreadyshinzen wrote: Tue Apr 03, 2018 10:56 amWell. You could go Tinkers route and it might not be as expensive. But Nato's tastes.... Yeah. It'll cost yah. Old guns are one of those things they don't make anymore, so if they have any potential interest, they'll go up in price over time.BillMcD wrote: Tue Apr 03, 2018 10:34 am It would be better if weird guns weren't so expensive. Variety is the spice of life and budget guns get old. It's even worse now that some of the old budget guns keep going up in price...

27No, this is all good. Soaking it all up. In this instance weird old gun might be a retro remake Brn-10 with a trigger style recharging handle...I guess technically circa 1960 is antique now...BillMcD wrote:Tinker's route? i might need an explanation, albeit probably not here, we're dragging this off topic alreadyshinzen wrote: Tue Apr 03, 2018 10:56 amWell.

Re: AR Barrel Length Thoughts
28Weird guns are either expensive or cheap. When the stars align, guns that should be expensive sell for cheap because they’re weird.BillMcD wrote: Tue Apr 03, 2018 10:34 amIt would be better if weird guns weren't so expensive.

My stress levels have dropped dramatically and I am reentering the firearms world. I will be breaking out "Nato's weird euro stuff" soon enough. I notice you all have been slacking in the weird guns department as of late....
I can think of several weird fun guns I own that cost me less than $100. The guns you can get cheap are only boring if your taste is boring.
Right now, I can think of a couple of weird guns at my lgs that cost about what an entry level AR goes for. I’m resisting the Turkish Martini Enfield carbine in 303 right now.
Nice seeing ya Nato! If the stress rises, ask Shin or Quiz about our new “I don’t want to play” club.

29Now I'm thinking of taking the next cheap ishapore lee enfield i find and turning it into a makeshift L42 rifle... I am not a gunsmith though so i would probably just break something... unless i found a kit.DamnYankee wrote: Tue Apr 03, 2018 3:42 pmNo, this is all good. Soaking it all up.
