So the STG 58 FAL receiver came in and out the same day to DSArms to get the headspace done correctly. Looks like 2- 3 months. Meanwhile, got a free M1 and 200rds of ammo from a old friend of mine. He is in purge mode.

There are better/newer rifles in the Russian inventory. Either Russia's inventories are greatly exaggerated or have been sold off to other countries. Or Russia is sending the "cannon fodder" in to soften up Ukraine before the real soldiers are sent in. Or the Russia military leadership sucks.

Edit:
Or the photo is fake.

https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net...9Q&oe=625718F7This has been my little project for a while, now. Very fun. Works great under NODS or in the day time. The C-stock extends and lowers (due to the 15.5* angled recoil tube it rides on) in a PERFECT manner to facilitate NODS at the long setting, and daytime use at the mid-setting.

Was thinking about this last night in bed. Putin sent in the under trained, poor equipped troops thinking this would be easy. Holding his good stuff back just in case things go sideways and NATO gets involved. We are almost there.

My other thought.
The other thing is that there is so much corruption in the Russian military. Billions have been skimmed off the top and middle that there is very little left. When you have troops eating MRI's that are 7 yrs expired, Chinese tires on APC's that are dry rotted and blowing out. The top brass used smoke and mirrors to fool everyone. Now they are exposed. Putin used the Nuke and chemical threats because he realized he knows he can't win a conventional war now with NATO. I bet before long. Putin will thin his staff of advisers out. either through forced retirements or most likely accidentally falling from a great height. He already has 2 advisers under house arrest. The Chechen troops that Putin sent in were better equipped then the Russian troops. Now he is recruiting troops from Syria. Asking China for military help too.

THAT is a mean-looking gun, holy. I've never purchased anything more than a firearm (Glock)

It's a purpose driven system for day/night, low/no light use.

Shiny, neat idea. Looks like fun! :tup:

That guy in the video needs to start with a lower poundage bow though.
A system like that needs to be at a poundage that you can pull back with out difficulty for quicker follow up shots or the system is point less.


I’m buying all the ammo I can afford and definitely buying ammo over gold.
22lr is in my top 5 rounds to have a lot of for if things go sideways.

My top 5:
- 5.56mm
- 9mm
- 12 gauge (with a health selection of bird, buck and slugs)
- 22lr
- .308

With 7.62x39mm and .45ACP as honorable mentions.

My top 5 are the rounds I think most people will be using and most likely come across if things go sideways.

What are your guys’ top 5 rounds to have?
