Nice video! I wonder if they could do a remake for after the Assault Weapons Ban? Full-Auto's are not illegal anymore. You can get them, with all of the appropriate checks of course. I've noticed that the media does that alot. They say: "The man was armed with a fully automatic assault rifle," yet they end up holding an AR-15, unconverted.

For residents of Socialist Republic of Kalifornia, it does not make difference (re Ban). That hunting rifle with AK mechanism is probably illegal here because it resembles its daddy.

The sad thing is - you are probably right.

[ASWnut101]

I noticed that, the AK firing mechanism. The "hunting rifle," is nothing more than a heavily modified AK/Dragunov. I want one.

I noticed in the vid that clip capacity wasnt mentioned.. doesnt that have something to do with the current lable of "assault rifle"?

[ASWnut101]

No, I think. You can get magazines for a Glock pistol that hold in excess of 30 rounds. They look pretty cool. :cool:

Yep - 32. Friend has a few 100 rd clips for his Glock 18 (fully auto). It eats ammo (Translate directly into $$$) too much for my tastes. It was fun to fire a few times though, but I probably went through a few hundred $$$ of ammo last time we took it out.

Nice! Almost a "rich people's" gun like that.

[StdDev]

I have a old "Calico .22" rifle.. it is basically a modified Ruger 10-22.. but it has a 100 round helical drum clip.. I thought it had been outlawed for sale here.. I think because of the clip capacity.

In CA you can't buy any mag bigger than 10.

[ASWnut101]

It's somehow a "Assault weapon" in the eyes of politicians. Must be the looks. Anyway, the ban is over, so let's celebrate with a purchase of an AR-15 or a AK-47/74! They are fun to show off at gun ranges. At first, everyone looks at you like you're there to rob the place, but their shock turns to amazement as they stare at your weapon in awe. It's pretty annoying.

That's stupid! The mayor is "terminating" your rights. Too bad. Can you still own one, though? You just said you can't BUY one, but can you own one?

Correct..

Now... ban is over? I have always dreamed of owning a howitzer

I agree! Lets buy both types...Hmm, I already have both types, so now what? :p

I saw a 6.8 Cal Barrett that is on the way out. Maybe that would be a good one. Has best of both worlds - speed and accuracy of the 5.56, coupled with the kenetic energy of 7.62!

PS. I have noticed that some people don't take too kindly when you pull those things out of the cases at your local range. They give you dirty looks and such until they get used to it. After a little while though, they are fine with it.

You can certainly own a howitzer if you comply with the National Firearms Act of 1938 and have the money. Its the money that will keep it off your shopping list and the feds know it. Don't forget about the ammunition, its also rather expensive.

I have the upper kit for the Barrett and it fits nicely on my AR-15 lowers. The cartridges are expensive!

[SUBMAN1]

The cartridges are expensive!

That was what I was afraid of. I hate expensive ammo.

..and a .22 reproduction of the howitzer kinda defeats the original purpose.... :damn:

He is right - you can own any civilian owned automatic weapon too that you want, as long as it was manufactured prior to 1986. Oops - you live in Cali - too bad!

Last I checked howitzers fire exploding shells and I don't think and an exploding .22 cal shell would be much more than a very light fire cracker. Might put an eye out though.

Civilians can own howitzers, tanks, mortars, recoilless rifles, rocket launchers and other such weapons (just about every VFW and American Legion post has one sitting outside its doors) but it is not legal to posess explosive type rounds for them. Non explosive rounds like solid shot or paint rounds are allowed however.

I miss the days of cheap 7.62x39 ammo. :doh:

[ASWnut101]

Those days arent over! Go to Serbia, you can get anything there, and I mean anything.

Yeah - i'm down to 500 rds. It is sealed though. Crappy Wolf ammo.

[ASWnut101]

Wolf Ammo? That stuff makes sparks when you fire it!:o

It works. Its steel too - not brass. Its an AK though - like what are you going to do to it? I would run that cr*p through my AR though!
