Well-used WASR. I had some beat-up G-furniture (wooden donkey dick forward grip) from a parts kit on it and decided to modernize it. Russian plastic handguards. Magpul grip, and ACE folding stock. Will be getting an AK74-style brake and a black Cerakote job down the road. 55-round magazine for the record.

USA mag????

Nope. Chinese. At least, two Chinese 30-round mags welded together. I have two of these that I bought around 2003 or 2004 at a local gun shop. Whoever created these did a great job, and they function flawlessly.

real mags proof mark will be around the weld.

if it works, fuck it.

Nice! Got some long range access to see how it does?

That's a lot of Enfields! I had 3 variants; No. 4 MKI, No. 4 MK II and the Ishapore. Have none left in the collection now.

A nice light AR-15 I built a few years back. It has an Osprey piston drive system on it.

Haven't seen any cans on this thread yet, I think. Anyhow, Smith and Wesson M&P15T with Hughes Precision 5.56 combat suppressor. A little heads up for guys rockin suppressors on shorter DI AR15's I've noticed that there is a lot of gas blowback at the castle nut and buffer tube, beats the hell out of the internals, and the shooters face with a normal bolt carrier in there. So I replaced the carrier with a Gemtech suppressor regulated carrier, it basically has a knob type screw that turns from un suppressed without the can on, then suppressed setting with the can on. Instead of messing with the gas tube and all that it's good to go. It's also an M16 carrier instead of AR15 carrier. I was experiencing brass being turned around inside while it was trying to cycle, causing some rough jamming. So far it seems the way to go. BTW it has to be manually turned then put back into the rifle to change settings.

You aren't looking very closely. Page 3, posts 49 and 55 have suppressed AR weapons. Post 55 is my AR Pistol I built and it has an AAC M4-1000 (discontinued evidently).

From wikipedia -- "The Tower Percussion Pistol dates back to the 1840s. Many were used by coastguards and Royal Navy personnel. It saw service in the Crimean War and later conflicts, such as the American Civil War. The advent of the revolver made pistols such as this somewhat redundant, and by the late 1850s it started to fall out of favour due to the increasing popularity of percussion revolvers."

Yeah Schertz I saw that after the fact, my mistake. Sometimes I have to re load the page a bunch of times for it to come through.

The pistol has a 10.5" so about the same then. This one hasn't been shot that much but so far it has been 100% for maybe 200 to 300 rounds.
