Yes, Bulgarian AK mags specifically. Tapco polymer mags also work, steel mags not so much. I actually wish I had gotten the .308 PTR 91 instead. The PTR 32 is great because it shoots well and the ammo is cheaper, but since it uses AK mags the wobble. Both versions are not light at around ten lbs. so it may as well be chambered in a more powerful caliber. Plus used G3 mags are like $2. For those of you who dont know, PTR 91 is an American company who bought all of the tooling from the old Heckler & Koch factory in Portugal that made the HK G3 and HK 91 rifles (the former is full auto, the latter is the semi auto civilian version). The HK 91 stopped being imported in 1989, so they are very desireable and expensive.

Yeah, I was really surprised the first time I held a CETME, (essential the same as a G3) how really heavy it was compared to an AK or AR. I can see both sides of the caliber argument 7.62 soviet VS 7.62 NATO as far as $ VS stopping power goes. When the "off list" thing first hit out here the PTR 91's where being sold out here without the pistol grip installed, but they where going for $1500 and up so I passed. Kinda regret it now, but I'm building an AR-10 SASS for just about that and it will be way more accurate.

Yea. Every platform has its drawbacks, that is a given. I already had an AK, decked it all out and shit. However, the AK is what it is and if it happens to be your only rifle, there comes a time when you are ready to upgrade from that platform. Dont get me wrong, they are awesome and if I could have afforded to I wouldnt have sold the AK to help fund the PTR, but the difference in quality and accuracy between them is very significant. I also have a low profile Swiss made optics mount and transferred over my Primary Arms red dot to the PTR.

The gun show here was a dud. More knives, clips, optics, etc than guns. Pretty disappointing. SO, today i went to a few shops to check out some supernovas.... They're fucking NICE.

 

Last place I went to had an old used wingmaster for $375. I think I'm gonna say fuck the benelli and get it.

Man gun shows in alot of places now are just filled to the brim with cheaply made Chinese junk. Looks like vendors buy the shit off Ebay and try to resell it for a profit. Lots of cheap shitty optics, knives, etc. like what Boats was talking about. I dont even waste my time anymore. Gunbroker.com is the shit! Its like Ebay but for gun stuff.

Ok, so I had to do it......went down to the sporting goods store and copped a Ruger 10/22. Its an American necessity, every American should own one along with an AM radio. I have spouted off the latter many many times to my kinfolk. I am very well known for saying, 'the first two letters in America are AM, motherfucker.' I didn't feel the need to post up a pic of the new gal. There are many posted in this thread, we all know what a 10/22 looks like, right guys? Right? You guys are the best, I love you. NH.

I think they have that loose feeling from the free floating barrel that locks in place when the slide goes

forward again. The P95 was my first gun, so I thought it was awesome, but then I got my hands on some

1911's and m9a1's which just fire so much smoother to me. Still love the Ruger, and enjoy shooting my

buddy's p90 .45 as well, but I wouldn't keep the 9mm as my primary defense. Also, you can't use a 15rd

mag double stack mag for it in California, which really sucks, that's half the reason I like mine so much.
