When it came out I read threads on ar15 and in the gun community on reddit about it. It actually made the front page of reddit at the time which is extremely rare for anything gun related there.

Touche! I don't mind the quad rails (especially the DD rails as I think they are thinner than most) but I did not take that into account.

def neat, this would also accomplish his goals right from the factory. https://danieldefense.com/rifles/carbine-length/daniel-defense-m4-carbine-v1-lw-lightweight-barrel.html

Neighbor got me a Red Ryder when I was 11 and I got plenty of practice in the garage/yard. Boy Scouts taught me to shoot rimfire and shotgun in my teens. My parents arent really gun ppl so all my modern gun skills have come from the internet, fellow shooters, and practice.

Merry Christmas!

Gfs dad recently inherited two that look very simar to this. They are colt agents. Dated to the late 50's and early 60's. Looks like the value is around $550 on them. Duno if this helps or not. Good luck w your research.

Thought about getting them, but the gun fund is drained for this month. Plus, if I buy these I will wind up building 10 ar's, which means I will need another safe, which means...you see where I am going with this.

...Nice Merry (Early) Christmas everyone!!!

I will say the front sight is somewhat difficult to pick up. I will look into them. The rifle came with TruGlo sights the previous owner never installed but I feel like thats kinda sacrilege for this gun.

Daylight the black/black sights aren't an issue for me, it's just when it's somewhat dark or shady out that it sucks. Which range is this at?

It might be ugly, but its a great rifle. I got one as soon as they came out and am still very happy with it. It's almost 10" shorter than a 16" ar, is just as accurate, no muzzle rise or recoil, has been very reliable even with garbage ammo, and the take down and cleaning is even easier than an ar. Biggest hurdle is getting used to the controls, but once you figure them out they are very intuitive and mag changes are a breeze. Here is an old size comparison pic for you (all mags blocked to be nj compliant). Tavor vs 14.5" ar vs 16" ar. The Tavor has an extremely small footprint which makes it very maneuverable. Ok I'm starting to sound like a fanboy I will stop... edit: no idea why the scope is so far forward on the Noveske, it sits right over the rear sight now.

Classic Arms gets stuff in every now and again. I would check their site periodically. Also you might want to pm Tony from TJ's Sporting Arms bc he told me last time I was there they get a lot of old/collectible stuff from various places. His handle here is Tj462nj. Good luck!

Ever since getting into firearms a few years ago I had my eye on a Golden Boy. When I was 11 my neighbor gave me a Red Ryder for Christmas (no idea if it was legal back then) and this just pulled at my heart strings bc I feel like its the grown up Red Ryder. I found a really good deal on a used one from a private party a couple weeks ago so I went ahead and got myself an early xmas present. All I have to say is wow. This thing is great. The lever action is smooth as butter, it's gorgeous in person, its extremely accurate, and it fed 4 different ammo types with no malfunctions. Overall I am smitten.

Sorry to anyone if they call and it's a no go, worth a shot at least if you are looking for one. Merry Christmas to you as well!

Good luck and godspeed for a quick turnaround. I am going to fill out paperwork for an exemption when I find the pistol I am going to burn my last permit on. Picking up 4 at once is better than 4 in 4 months lol.

Really? Last time I called about an AR they said they would take the mag out and ship to the ffl even though it needed compliance work. I wound up not getting it bc they went out of stock too quickly, but they said they would do it. That was about 6 months ago so maybe they changed their policy.

How big is your target? If that is an 8" bullseye that's damn good shooting for the first time out at 20yds.

Congrats on the new pistol! The RO is a very nice gun, great bang for your buck (pun intended) as far as a 1911 goes. I had the same problem with my Kimber with the sights (black on black). A quick fix is put a dot of nail polish in a bright color on the front sight (can always be removed) or there are plenty of aftermarket sights for the 1911.

For anyone who has been on the fence about getting one of these, this is the best price I have seen for a new one since they came out. Only compliance work that needs to be done is a muzzle brake permanently attached. Scroll part way down ad. There are also some other pretty decent deals on there. http://www.cdnninvestments.com/

I had the original gsg-5, and the novelty def wore off very quick. It was also a huge pain in the a** to clean, which was ultimately why I sold it. The only tacticool .22 I have that I enjoy shooting is my S&W 15-22. With the Eotech on it its lots of fun shooting cans and steel in the pits.

Lol. Not sure if serious.

Its a 4x32 nearly indestructable scope with an equally rugged red dot sight. Though expensive at that price it was nearly half off the retail value and several hundred dollars off the normal discounted price. There are videos of ppl abusing the hell out of them and they never lose zero.

lol. Let's see if the gf pulls thru the the TA11 first for xmas

Just saw this slickguns ad, and even though I am pretty sure I am getting a TA11 for xmas I bought it anyway bc I think this is a hell of a deal. Just the RMR is almost $500. 1 left at this price on amazon. Only downside is that Amazon charges tax in NJ now so it came to $1287 after tax Still an amazing deal. http://www.slickguns.com/product/acog-4-x-32-scope-dark-earth-brown-dual-illiminated-crosshair223-ballistic-reticle-green-120 or direct Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037VVO6I?tag=slickguns-20

Holy crap just saw the price on these bad boys, $12 a shell.
