All I’ve gots in the truck is a Contender carbine in 22 Hornet and a 357 S&W for “social distance” distances.

Gunner500 gives us “Tool Time for Killers” Gunners current truck accessories for making dum-dums disappear is a Repr stoked with 176gr Lehigh tungsten drill bits, which provide a level of penetration John Holmes would approve of...Grins 😬 Was up late last night reading your thread, had to go to the post office this morning and intercept some kind of damn fed-ex-smart post handoff deal and didn't want to wait for my package til 5pm tonight, getting out of the truck I laughed and thought about this thread. Threw the package on the hood, pulled some "wallet protector/crackhead reforming tools" from my belt and pockets and took a pic for my old Buddy Beav!

laugh all you want, I have AR's, Fal's, but I love that Hi Point 9mm carbine. I'm carrying a semi-auto handgun in my car though. Police are too twitchy.

As of now folks in Nevada can keep a loaded hand gun in their vehicle. I suspect our commie Gov and the bleeder demonrat Legislature will try to put and end to this. Gotta love a pistol.

Be funny as fugg whipping this out if I would have kept it. Lol!!! i was going to ask if it was a Ljungmann, but knowing you, I'm betting on a Hakim AC Code May 44 production WW2 Walther 8mm G43 Hitlers " Garand" All 7#,s match No import marks. Stock had been severely molested by previous owner. That is my work to get it semi original appearing and presentable Woulda been about a 2200 rifle if the stock wasnt fugged with. Original front sight hood missing and cleaning rod Bout 1500 1600 value in the pic. Original mag alone worth 275 300 ish. Ya I stole it for 275....... Aint my job to educate a seller. The 2 you mention were based off this and the soviet svt 40. As were chezch vz 58,s and several other mil platforms. Vz 58 is the apex of the design JMO. The G43 was based off the SVT intially. SVT is a supreior weapon and the grandfather of the design. G43,s had metalurgy issues in the rear cradle area of the receiver. 275 bucks " didnt work" per previous owner. 2 days of me 100% disassembly and cleaning and assembly got it up and running. Took it out to slumlords. Ran 10 thru it fast as i could squeeze the trigger. Next clip started failure to extract and eject. Had a tiny screw adjustment for extractor tension and retention. Feild stripped it , tiny spring pops outta extractor. Fugg......... We searched for it then had ta roll back to his house get a metal detector to find it. Gawd..... I coulda bought a new spring kit for the entire rifle for around 95 bucks. Between that and the metalurgy issues. Made the decision. Was gonna keep it Take it on a token deer hunt once in awhile. Then thinking about parts to be found if somethng went south. Traded it for my Arsenal SLR 100H type 3. No regrets..... Rather have a working tool than a collector " my precious type of thing".

Believe it or not, I gave 3 FALs away a while ago,...along with many other firearms. I believe you. I gave all my guns to Goodwill. Heard some old Boomer bought 'em all.

Some of you gents know how to put together a fine operating battle gun yourself, or you know what to buy off the shelf, maybe making some part changes to improve your AR’s performance and reliability.
I have no such experience on how to build one out, or what aftermarket parts to add.
Here’s my question...I bought 3 Sig M400’s years ago. Two carbines and one shorty....
I went with the Sig M400 because at the time they had pretty good reviews on functionality and above average accuracy. They are pretty accurate and haven’t caused me any repeative malfunctions...Which is good.
With that said...If I wanted to buy a turn-key AR shorty in 5.56 is there a couple manufactures and models you would suggest that make an all around, solid, weapon?
If my Sigs are good to go, I’m happy to keep them....But, if they’ye Junk, my feelings won’t be hurt if there’s a lot better turn-key options available today.

I guess I could pitch one or two of 130lb male RockWelders up in the truck, I have four of those alligator headed things here, and no fear Beav, I sleep on a flowerdy bed too. I have one room in the house, the rest are hers to do with as she wants ; ]

Gunner, like you, I’m smart enough to know what is important to my wife...And, she’s smart enough to know the same for me.
It’s a compromise you and me have lived with successfully...
You own 4 Gator heads? Security definitely means something at the G5 household. LMAO 😂😎
