Has anyone shot one of these before?

No...
-
I just got off the phone with Danny Vermin and he agrees that thing is sweet.
-
they are neat....I am waiting on one of these to show up....

damn jillion people waiting on them and they are being put on the auction sites at double the good street price which is about $300
-
I've had a chance to shoot one at a local shop/range.
-
I picked up a S&W 686 .357, Saiga 12 gauge, and a Bushmaster Carbon 15 with Optics today.
Drilled out the trigger assembly on the Saiga to move it forward, but the kit didn't come with a retainer plate so will have to order it.
-
I bought the five-seven, but have not shot it yet.
-
Yup.

Gordy, Carolina Shooters Supply seems to be one of the better Saiga places to do business with.

Funny you mention that...I just got off the phone with them. I ordered:
JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring /Main Spring
AXIS PIN RETAINING PLATE FOR THE SAIGA 12
BOLT HOLD OPEN LEVER KIT SAIGA 12-MODIFIED
EXTENDED MAGAZINE RELEASE SAIGA 12
SAIGA 12 QUAD RAIL

TRIGGER GROUP HOLE PLUGS FOR SAIGA CONVERSIONS
SAIGA 12 BARREL NUT
GRIP AK/SAIGA HOGUE FINGER GROOVE BLACK
LOW BRASS RELIABILITY KIT
COLLAPSIBLE TAPCO T-6 BLACK
-
cheap as 7.62x39 is...you might as well buy the Saiga in that caliber and convert it too....better weapon than the cobbled together AK's that Century sells..., imo

So FN made a mini-M16 and put high velocity rounds into it, eh? Like Dave said it is going to lack stopping power. The reason you have high velocity rounds is to compensate for distance shooting; not something you want in a pistol which is really only effective under 50m.

Well if you want something that will have plenty of knock down power I've got a Mauser custom 300 win mag for sale right now.

Ya, but you gotta remember it was primarilly designed for military use, and more specifically, armor piercing. There's a ton of different armor piercing ammo for it, but not available to the public. They only brought out the standard rounds so the public could have something to use with this piece.

I'm looking for ideas on how to dress up that AR. Anyone have any recommendation s?
Also, I'd like to find a gun safe...that doesn't look like a gun safe.
-
On the AR, it really depends on the use and the look. Some like the Tacticool look with the foursided rails, but, I find them uncomfortable and not that much fun to shoot. On the other hand, my son likes it and put a fore grip with a Crimson Trace built into it. I have one that I built in 6.8x43 with a simple round fore end with slots for rail attachments that I prefer.
On the other hand, I admit to liking the skip flute rails that Harrison Beene puts on some of his rifles-see the 12" version pictured in this link

Eye candy to me and I think they are both functional and beautiful..but, taste is a many splendored thing.
My 6.8 upper is one of his.
I have another three lowers that I need to quit playing with cars and build. Maybe a 7.62x39 and a .204....not sure what else
-
Being an actively serving Infantry Officer (and just promoted to Captain (one year accelerated no less)) I understand the purpose of the weapon but believe it to be misguided in its intended application. In the COE it is rare that the enemy has body armour (and usually just use life jackets), so in CQC it is going to be useless against our current OPFOR. This weapon is better served to be used on those of us in advanced/future soldier gear, so unless FN is making weapons for NATO to use against itself - I feel this weapon is moot; albeit cool (which is why civilians want one).

Just put Hello Kitty stickers on it.

LOL! Gotta love you, Mike! :icon_fU:

LOL, thankfully I think Hello Kitty has run out of favor down here in the US...
But seriously, I was thinking of something like along the lines of an armoire or dining room cabinet or what not. A friend of mine suggested a gun safe that replaces the box spring in the mattress that he saw advertised somewhere.

Yeah, that's it...those would be a PITA if you had to get to it in a hurry.

need the remote option..push the button, rolls out from under the bed, doors open and the guns move to an upright position
My son was trying to get me to buy a set a couple of weeks ago

That's a bit too gimmicky for me...

I ended up getting this same equipment. I feel secure know that I can defend myself from all manor of zombies equipped with body armor.

So, I guess you don't approve of the .45 under the other pillow on my bed, either?

We have biometric fingerprint gun safes in our nightstands... lol, so I can't really talk.

TBH, I haven't tried it in a hurry in the middle of the night...if we didn't have kids we'd probably have them hanging on hooks above the bed.

Like Steve, my 9mm is under the pillow, CAR-15 beside the bed, and shotgun by the door. My old knick name is overkill after all. :D

Steve is under your pillow? That's just sick. :(

Are those things sentient- - - with some kind of deathwish?
I swear on the way to Vegas they would lurk on the side of the road and time it so as to explode on your windshield.

No, they're just like Beachbum; they think not, therefore they tumble.

Dearest Topspeed;
I would appreciate a comprehensive review of the gun, and, if at all possible, TRY to make it at least a little bit interesting (unlike most of your other posts). :068:

Dearest Zap,
I shall endeavor to make it as interesting as your grooming habits.
Sincerely,

Beachbum told me you live under a rock...is that true?

I always wanted to live under a Rockette

I live under a cloud of suspicion, and it's always raining.

For your reading enjoyment, since I have not even fired it yet.

I finally put about 200 rounds through the FN five-seven this afternoon. Worked perfect. The trigger is very crisp and I like the way it felt. Not very much recoil at all. Started shooting a little down and to the left but by the end of the session was consistently hitting in the center of a 5" circle. I really like it.
