I'm gonna Duracoat my $800ish non-restricted 97 Olive Drab or Urban. You guys?

Seriously go to Lever and Check out the 97. The way it comes apart I think Duracoat would wear around the receiver cover and plastic handle lines from fieldstripping it - that would drive me nuts if I spent a bunch of loot to duracoat it.

Also can you refresh my memory where JohnOne said he would try to bring in a non-restricted version?...I don't recall reading that anywhere....
 
A: I did go to Lever. But, you could be right. I wasn't allowed to handle it, so I'll take your word.
B: I know something you don't, but I can't say. I'm not just blowing wind. :runaway:

A: I don't get why you weren't allowed to touch it...did you show them your PAL? I showed them mine and I got to check it out for as long as I wanted....that doesn't make any sense to me.

B: Ok....:cool:
 
I trust Deckard is ok and anti-lieberal.
I was just joking around.
They must have been too busy in Lever's,
it was on a Saturday or something.
I happens to me too, in almost all the shops
if they are busy.

I would trust Deckard with a gun,
(even if he is a lefty...).

:p
 
To be more accurate, I suppose I could have held it. I asked enough questions and since they couldn't be bothered to show me it, I gave up. Poor salesmanship, and I ain't gonna beg.

Don't worry Clobb. There is no talk of bringing in Shorties.



That's okay Lector. If I thought you were serious, I'd give ya a...

Noted. Frenchmen teaching the bullpup concept to the Chinese. I wonder if someone can make a longer FAMAS top handle? Possible?

I get you... make a longer top handle so it forces you to keep your chin back right? Yes, this is entirely possible as the top handle is a seperate piece of molded polymer...it just goes over top of the rail and rear sight and is held in place by the rear receiver cover. So yes it could be done if someone wanted to make one up.

FWIW HK lists all there longguns as having a 10k service life.

A gun like T97 should have longer life than a pure rifle like M4.

The reason is 97 rifle is a number of afirearm family, which includes LMG and SMG. All guns in family share same receiver so the receiver has to strong enough to tolerate the worst usage, which is on the Light Machine Gun.

Reading modern arm designing articles, you will find it's a common concern. And, it's one major challenge for the weight reduction on the rifle side - because actually you have to use machine gun receiver on the rifle.

Cheers,

Michael
