I hope hk will come out with the hk45 with colored frames like they did with the usp and mk23.
I would buy ten of them with those coyote tan frames.

Did you guys know with each M4 the army buys it only costs them $500?
army times said about $1200

I had to do %100 inventory the other week. I'm sure you might have done one. It gives a list of everything the unit has and is allowed to have along with the pricing of each item. The M4's list price was $500. I asked the Supply NCO why so cheap and he said cause they are bought in bulk. The acogs and peq 15's and such cost way more. Interesting huh? The radio's themselves in humvee's are $8000.
One of the most expspensive items on the list were the mortar tubes were $250,000

I've got a buddy who's a 15W and he gets to fly all those, even the big predators. He gets to fly missions this week with apaches... I'm jealous.1stSFOD-Delta wrote:

Fuck, still jealous. I just shove needles in people all day long. And laugh at people trying to get out of PT.
Did this just turn into the military discussion thread or some shit?

$100 Lower parts & trigger
$100 Upper & lower
$100 Bolt & carrier
$100 Other parts
Sounds about right.
Spec on them is still 10,000 round life with 2MOA accuracy?
I'll live with my match AR-15, semi auto only, 1/4 MOA, White Oak barrel, Geissele trigger, and 3000 rounds between barrel changes.
$1350, 3000 rounds per barrel, 1/4 MOA, semi-auto full size ar15
-or-
$500, 10,000 rounds, 2MOA, full auto M4. No brainer for either myself or the Army there.
Though I really should put a flat top upper on it, as I'm not planning any trips to Camp Perry for a while.
anybody here heard of ed brown? http://edbrown.com/cgi/htmlos.cgi/parts.htm
i'm thinking about buying a springfield gi model and completely reworking it with ed brown parts. i've always wanted to build a custom 1911 instead of paying $3000 for an actual brown/wilson/baer etc
basically turn this
into this
still getting a hk, too

you may get a better frame-slide fit if you move up to Springfield Loaded model. The fit on mine isn't as tight as the high end customs but it's better than some of the GI models I've handled. But that's only if you don't mind front serrations. Mine has run through a couple thousand rounds now without a single hiccup I can recall. I figure someday I'll upgrade the guts and replace the MiM but I don't really care at this point.1stSFOD-Delta wrote:

It's been as good a pistol as I've ever needed.
i have that same springfield loaded. i thought about using it but yeah i don't want the front slide serrations and i might go stainless.
probably gonna go with a stainless mil-spec instead of the gi

In which case you might as well buy parts as buy a complete gun and throw most of it away.

I don't understand why anybody who does not work in the military/security would have a gun.
Can somebody please explain this to me?

Also, shooting is a discipline like any other martial art.

I think I've got a revolver itch. A single action something with at least a 5" barrel in .357, .44 or .45 -I don't know yet.
