daggum that's a smokin deal

I own both - unless you are a die-hard Glock Grip Angle guy, you will *love* the M&P's accuracy, recoil impulse, hand feel, ergos, modularity, optics cut compatibility, and trigger. Good luck in your search!

Purdy! They did better than most matching slide to grip module, too. Mind sharing the ballpark cost?

I am a shotgun connoisseur - you'll be hard pressed to find a broader collection of the world's finest production shotguns (game, field, and tactical) in most counties. I don't deal in bespoke customs - I prefer the best versions of production guns that anyone can buy. Every time Beretta, Browning, Benelli, and Remington come out with a new design, the highest trim version eventually finds its way to my safes. With that said, I have several Turkish clones, and I love them. I've dabbled in the original designs, and they are hit and miss, but the clones of the Benelli system with interchangeable parts are reliable, inexpensive, and deadly. I have several set up for loaners, trainers, pre-deployed guns at defensive choke points, and behind the counter shop guns in case someone decided to threaten my staff with injury. There are probably more rounds through these clones than 90% of my other shotguns, save for my personal tactical, and training guns (M1, M4, 1301, A300). They are good to go. Straight from a shotgun snob who happens to sell and shoot thousands of guns, and isn't even offering anything for sale.

Incorrect. Go ahead and push on your barrel mounted comp and see what happens at the breech. Yes, old school rail mounted standoffs work, but no modern compensators are configured that way.

How'd you like the results, Gunner?

GLWS!

Is that Cerakote, or hydrodip camo? GLWS.

I literally just did exactly this a few months back! My wife rode shotgun and dubbed it "The Cannonball Gun Run." Scratched several extremely rare guns off the life list. Still looking for a bringback StG44 and MG34, and I want a better example of a Spencer repeater than the tragically sporterized one that I have now. But I digress...

Do you ever wander through Chattanooga?

Get the comp gun and then swap the short barrel for a full length. You'll get the aesthetics you love plus the performance benefit of a longer barrel, without all the noise, flash, and heat. Now it's not a compensator, it's a heat dissipating slide!

I own all the flavors of compensated and standard P365's. A little over a dozen of these little runts. I have many other compensated pistols in compact and full size, but the 365 series (and Macro, which is really a compact not a subcompact) are the most carryable and thus the ones I have the most experience with. I live on a ranch, and so I actually draw and fire my CCW on a weekly basis (squirrels, groundhogs, coyotes and other vermin). I find very little perceivable and performance difference in muzzle rize between my compensated and standard pistols. I try to sneak in ear pro, but when I don't get to it, I *do* find that a standard pistol shot without ear pro is tolerable, while two separate single-shot experiences with a compensated barrel convinced me to never do that again. I imagine an unprotected multi-discharge defensive shooting would be even more unhealthy. So unless you plan on telling your attacker to wait while you go retrieve your muffs, I strongly suggest sticking to a standard barrel. The other thing that made me take my comps out of my carry pool is size. A subcompact or micro is already a significant compromise on muzzle velocity for a handgun, and of course a handgun is already a significant compromise for self defense compared to a rifle or shotgun. Giving up another inch (20% or more!) of barrel for a gadget that isn't contributing a noticeable benefit is not attractive to me. It's about 100fps, which is not earth shattering, but I like that 100fps more than I care about reduced muzzle rise on a gun that I never noticed muzzle rize with to begin with. Or, I carry the shorter gun and have more comfort and concealability when sitting, walking, running, and otherwise living my life. Lastly - in my draw-and-shoot practice on the range from concealment, putting 11 rounds downrange, reloading and reholstering is much more uncomfortable with a compensated gun than with a standard gun. One to three rounds, no noticeable difference. But after a mag or so, the compensator feels much hotter inside my pants. There's a joke there somewhere but I'm trying to be serious.

That's about the only thing I never got into. I sourced it out when I got hydro customers back in SoCal. Huge variety in talent - take a look at several examples of prior work before committing. Sorry I'm not more help!

I am trying to shed some guns to get into another dream car of mine (Superlite SC-L), but nothings selling right now so I'm reaching deeper into the safes! This is a quite rare Remington 700 Ultimate Lightweight, featuring a titanium receiver and match barrel chambered in 300 Short Action Ultra Magnum. The 700 Titanium receiver was a very short run, with this caliber being the rarest of all. They generally sell in the $2000 range (verified on True Gun Value). Absolutely all the bells and whistles from the factory, including lightened/fluted bolt, lightened bolt handle, accurized stock, match trigger, etc. I customized this rifle with a professional two-tone OD Green Cerakote job, an oven cured ceramic-based coating that is the standard for most factory color coatings. I have only put about 30 rounds through this rifle, as I bought it because of the allure of the lightweight action but ultimately never got into the caliber. $1900 please, in Chattanooga. Trades/partial trades welcome.

Thanks. I checked the safes and all I have without rails are a Springfield SAR-8 and a preban HK-91 .

What's the actual make/model marking on the receiver? Does it have a mag paddle release?

Fair offer, thank you! Unfortunately, the 92FS isn't for me. I have a 92X Performance and it's the only Beretta M9 style pistol I like; I carried the M9 in service and always hated the slide-mounted selector/decocker. Again - I deeply appreciate the offer.

No offers at all

Update, $1200 each please.

Tactical cleaner, for when I get assigned cleaning duties.

It's cool. However, it limits you to their upper, and their handguard, and costs about $1000 out the door. The great thing about ARs is their modularity and universality. Once you spend a bunch of money making it not an AR anymore, it's better to start with something that isn't an AR in the first place. By the time you're into a now-proprietary AR (doesn't use milspec upper parts anymore, so you're stuck if they change prices or go out of business and you need parts), you have spent enough for a Bren 2, or a MCX. The Bren pistol, in particular, is wickedly effective, lightweight, compact, and reliable, and folds at least as short as the MoBetta folding AR system.

Did the answers to your same question a week ago expire or something? https://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/135730-experience-with-magpul-d-50/#comment-1764413

The Turkish guns are really nice, and terrible. They are all over the place. I own half a dozen, just to understand what they are, and I've sold a few hundred through my shop. We very, very seldom get any in for gunsmithing work, which tells me that generally they hold up well for the kind of shooters who buy them - mostly, they sit in the safe. I have a Benelli clone that shoots birds lights out, **gorgeous** wood, and great finish quality. And the adjustable cheek rest screws are made of literal pot metal, so if you tighten the wobble out of it, they strip out and they are unfixable. No spares available. I'm a gunsmith, so it's an excuse to tinker, but it was a lot of work - the way they engineered it (badly), anything straightforward that I did would either split the wood, or be unsightly. So I installed inlays and undercut the cheek piece to make a stronger mounting bar. Extremely tedious, time consuming work. It would have been several hundred dollars for a customer. I have a Turkish double barrel Over/Under that is, again, excellent in fit and finish, build quality, and materials. No issues there; they have been building them for over 100 years, so they know what they are doing there and there are no fiddly bits to confuse their engineers. However, it has the most obnoxiously deep, rough dot-pixel serialization and make/model markings in triple-oversize blind Braille lettering that makes the barrel completely fugly to look at and skin-churning to touch. They are hit and miss. Their plastic modern shotguns are cheap, fun, and dependable. When they break, you can't get spares, so throw them away. Good loaner/ranch vehicle guns. Or buy one of the pretty ones, like I did, and be prepared to invest a lot of time making it right. Doc

The AMD would be sold if I was in your neighborhood!

Reliable on semi auto. Too slow to feed a select fire stamp gun - I mention this since you specifically stated MP5, not SP5. Personal experience.
