Excellent acquisition--- I would not shoot it--- put it away and forget about it.

I'm not leaving my stuff to anyone, and I'm old enough that I don't care about collecting. More about shooting cool stuff. I remember busting the cherries on pre-ban SIGs. It was fun. Nobody shoots the rare stuff, and I let everyone shoot rifles that they'd never see...let alone shoot. It was worth the price of admission.Excellent acquisition--- I would not shoot it--- put it away and forget about it.

I don't collect anything, anymore. I'm sorry that I collected so many things, for others to enjoy. It's like the analogy of never having sex with your super-model wife, so the next guy can/will.

Thank you, my friend. Have a joyous Thanksgiving.
I figure it's been decades since they did camo rifles, I had the old ones, and now something interesting...

Took out one my Phoenix Fusion pistols for the 2nd time, today. This is an amazing pistol. I was rapid firing at about 12 yards today, and stringing shots from the eyebrows to the mouth of my bad-guy target.
It's SO smooth.
This is my threaded barrel version...

No. It's actually out of production, or not available in the States. "The Attic" handles Phoenix.

Went shooting again, today. Took a recent acquisition. Custom built AR10, with US Optics scope. It was assembled with a bunch of good parts.
I bought it as a pig-in-a-poke, for cheap...and I figured there may be an issue or two.
I was correct in my assumption. The optic works perfectly, it's very accurate....but, it's failing to extract and trying to double-stack rounds from a brand new Magpul mag. All the handguard
screws were loose [one missing], and the scope was adjusted for long-range targets. I managed to get it shooting well, though functioning more like a bolt-action.
I'm gonna start with a new extractor, recoil spring, and new gas tube. It appears to have a gas leak at the gas-block.
I could put quite a bit of money into it, and couldn't get hurt, dollar-wise. The spray-paint finish, has a battle-used feel to it. There's some wear to it visually.
This picture must have been fresh-paint.
