Think we were at cross purposes there . I meant that out of all of them, the one *least* in need of suppression was the P22
Btw, have you used suppressors on the range? How's the accuracy affected at, say, 50 yards?
Never done one at 50, but I shot the above referenced ruger at 25 and it didn't impact the accuracy in the least. Suppressors are just like everything else I suppose. I well constructed one, fit for purpose and it will do well. You wouldn't think that there would be, in the US, but there are a LOT of good suppressor companies.Btw, have you used suppressors on the range? How's the accuracy affected at, say, 50 yards?
I like AAC a lot (just bought by the people that own Remington)

also SWR

(The spectre is rated for the 5.7 and rimfire, but I would feel more comfortable with one rated for the 5.56 and 5.7)

Lots'o'stuff
Too many bits to break out and quote easily! Very tempted by the P22; have been for a while. Wasn't aware there were barrel options, hadn't looked into it that much, tbh.I knew Colt had replaced the 6920, wasn't sure what with, though. And I figured by the time I looked again, it would have been replaced again. The SP901 does sound interesting just for being able to shoot both calibres; best of both worlds as it were.
ACR also on the want list from a while back! I think I managed to talk myself out of the HK offering on price alone, some time ago, although most of the piston ARs appeal.
I suspect I'll start with the Ruger and the P22. Some time this year, probably.

Very nice collection mate. A shame not to see a nice M14 in there, I dont know if they would come into the ban on assault weapons? I dont see how as they are technically a battle rifle and seeing as you have the SPR I'd imagine an EBR 14 might be allowed?
clickThey are allowed. I've looked at them. Springfield is actually one of my favourite manufacturers. Just not for me. My 7.62 is going to be a new model from Remington, the M700-AAC SD

...and I am going to drop it into one of these...
AICS
(Rifle about $700, so total will be lest than 1/3 of the price of a complete Accuracy International 7.62 with comparible accuracy - at least in my hands - I'm not good enough for the complete AI gun yet)
My Brother-In-Law likes the M14 type weapons, though. Of course, being an ex-SEAL he would.

Best piston AR value for money (IMHO)http://www.pof-usa.com/p415/p415.htm
Very clean system. According to the manufacturer, cleaning the gun is optional. (I still clean mine)
Wow, love the guns - It's been a long time since I've shot anything at all, but it is pretty therapeutic from what I recall.
What limits are there on gun/weapon ownership - you see, in Hollywood films, rednecks with all manner of automatic weapons as well as TOWs and all manner of things - what's fact and what's fiction?

Guns don't kill people, PH'ers do, I saw it on a documentary on BBC2.
I wanna rap, I wanna rhyme. Read a thread on Piston Heads, now I'm into gun crime.
P.S - lovely collection. Kinda got me thinking about buying a nice old 'side by side' for days when my 'over and under' won't do....

Not intentionally Hijacking.. Hopefully contributing. you might like this..
This is my foxing rifle, This baby drops foxes at 300yd's and then some, all in the dead of night.
It's an AR derivative, as here in the UK we can't have semi auto's in this calibre, Its action has been made exclusively as a straight pull, so the tolerances are tight, The trigger is a Jewell, It chambers both 5.56 and .223, It has a stainless fluted krieger 24' barrel, either with a brake on it ( mind your ears ) or a ASE Ultra CQB suppressor. The scope is a S&B PM2 which is huge.. too big, its mounted on an A.R.M's rail, this enables the scope to be pushed forwards and a Gen3 NV monocular to be fastened behind it, coupled with an IR laser which mounts on the side. That way we own the night.
This is its baby brother, Semi Auto .22lr with a similar A.R.M.s rail, jewell trigger, attached to it is a US Optics thingamyjig scope, which slides forwards to take NV, its a bunny rifle, but to be honest its a bit pants, Not the best accuracy, its a bit inconsistent. These days it doesn't really leave the cabinet.
In the cabinet,
there are a pair of 20 bores for game shooting.
.22lr Anschutz which is beautiful and so accurate its scary. Its a 1517 model with a Monte Carlo stock, competition trigger,
.17hmr Anschutz which gives you that extra reach, stunning rifle, and then the pair of AR's described before.
Here in the UK our gun laws are strict, However if you have good reason and ask nicely the police are very helpful.
