NoBodyImportant Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 This is a old school Colt I bought at a police auction. I owned it for a few years but took it out for a test run today. I ran full auto before but this is my first time using a burst trigger group. I thought I’d share. I know some on here don’t care for black rifles. I should have brought some 30rd mags as the 20 rounders run dry quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird shooting burst as you half to keep pulling the trigger. I’m thinking about switching this one over to 22lr. I can’t afford to feed it in 223. I’m actually looking at the parts online now.

Folk can post videos on social media about drinking 20 shots of tequila and smashing their head into a window and it is paraded and lauded as being “banter and a laugh”, yet someone smiling shooting a gun is akin to being some genocidal maniac, baby eating dog rapist!

scarecrow243 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 i thought you would have known about the calico it was banned in the usa because the user manual told you not to remove a small lever as it made the rifle full auto witch some people did hence the ban but i think that the ban got removed a few years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard or seen one, wish I had, they look fun Edited February 27, 2020 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 sorry its old age not looking before printing hahahaha, ps. they were fun to shoot as you said they took a very long time to load the magazine and empty the rounds you did not shoot before heading home the one i had did have a bracket fitted so you could put a scope on it and use as a carry handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite. I can go out and get out of my head on a legally acquired mind altering drug, but because I'm a gun nut people just assume I'm a psychopathic killer.

They so up in pawn shops often. Sure they hold a 100rds but with the jams it’s better to have a 10/22 with 50rd drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shoot quite a bit there. The real lead quarry behind my house. We have been dumping ammo there for years. I live in a neighborhood but everyone shoot guns so nobody says anything. One of my neighbors is a professional drag car driver and he test his race cars up and down the road, and the other neighbor damaged my house when he crashed his helicopter while flying without license. We have a mutual understanding that we don’t call the police. First thing we did was put a berm up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
