Lol, def the pictures. Piss poor lighting here at home for the photos. May be a .22lr, but it’s not a toy. Check the thread I linked to if bored, you’ll see the work into it. ---

Well, after I sold my HK USC, two hours later I bought this (even though I said I never would): ![http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/Gun%20Stuff%20and%20Things%20For%20Sale/IMG_8648.jpg](http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r146/CosseyOwns/Gun%20Stuff%20and%20Things%20For%20Sale/IMG_8648.jpg) Bushmaster ACR… I based my original opinions after reading various reviews online, and after handling one for the first time, I can say this is a perfect example of why you should take things you read online with a grain of salt. ---

What caliber did you get 5.56? Yea, it’s 5.56. When they finally come out w/ the caliber conversion kits I’ll prolly pick up a 6.8 kit (if not oo expensive) since I have an AR that shoots that as well. The thing I enjoy is that with both the SCAR and the ACR (moreso the ACR), there isn’t a huge aftermarket for them, so I won’t be blowing money on upgrades and what not. Geissele makes a 2-stage trigger for both of the guns, but the SCAR version is effing $400. The ACR is only $260, which isn’t bad. I haven’t even shot it yet so who knows what I’ll think of the trigger. Plus I think I’d prefer sticking with a single-stage trigger for the time being. ---

The ACR is by far my favorite of all the battle rifles bar none, even in 5.56 Oh and I’ve already had offers to buy the GSG :rofl JVG even upped and asked what I could trade him to get it back the other day :lol Shoots quite nice now. I’m going to buy a cheap 3-9 power Barska IR scope for it as while the ACOG looking redot on it looks cool I want to be able to shoot out a little farther with some zoom ---

I bought a Century Wasr-10 a few monthes ago. Just spot welded my new RPK muzzle brake on it today plus I got some other junk for it. This gun is probably the best i’ve ever got for the money. I’d actually still have been happy with if I paid twice as much for it (minus the crappy plywood looking stock and flimsy ass grip that comes on them when new). BTW everyone who has ever picked it up says that Hogue pistol grip is by far the best feeling grip ever made. ![http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww33/iant333/521982_10150988404812564_725847563_13261280_1507032789_n.jpg](http://i703.photobucket.com/albums/ww33/iant333/521982_10150988404812564_725847563_13261280_1507032789_n.jpg) ---

Must be “spot” welded in four visible locations, silver soldered at the seam(AKA brazed), OR drilled and pinned and have the pin head welded over otherwise it’s a felony if you get caught by an LEO having a bad day. Just a FYI if you didn’t know otherwise. ---

The original one was only spot welded in one spot when I bought it. Is that only a requirement for replacements? I didnt want to seam weld it the whole way because then i’d never be able to take the front sight or gas block off. ---

dont know if any of you are into out of state handgun permits or not, but passing it along anyways.
