I hate the gun industry

[77zach]

You can have any accessory you want. As long as it is made for a Glock, AR-15, or Remington 700. So aggravating. If not, you're sh it out of luck.

 

[blahpony]

You should buy a CZ. That should clear up your issue.

Some one needs to get a Brownells catalog.

What accessory are you desiring and for what firearm? There's a whole industry out there devoted to making sure you can end up with your heart's desire.

stay safe.

Yup! Can't do anything with any other guns!

Ruger 22/45 FULL of Volquartsen goodies!




Kel-Tec SUB2000 9mm (uses S&W Model 59 mags)


High-Point 9mm 995TS Carbine


PS: These are mine that I modded myself at home for low bucks...

THIS I machined and welded this wire-folding .22LR myself just for ghits and siggles from a $5 yard sale Marlin Glenfield...



Trust me... there are ALWAYS options for those with imagination. :idea:

I don't know how to do anything, I grew up playing video games. However, youtube is changing that somewhat. I eventually found what I needed, I usually do unless it's a holster. I wanted a nice base/picatinny rail for my Savage 11 lightweight hunter. The options were unlimited if you had a Remington 700. There were some for the savage but everything was sold out or on backorder. I eventually got a TPS base and Seekins rings, but first had to research reviews along with what was available. I don't want to worry about the rail and rings when shooting at great distances.

Had an FN FAL. Had to sell it, if you're a gunsmith or a handy person with a good workshop, what an awesome rifle it would have been. Can't do anything with it otherwise.


I like XD and XD(m)'s. All holsters I want are made for Glock. If Fl ever gets OC, which we won't, this problem will be alleviated somewhat. The last CC holster I wanted was the vanguard 2 from Raven concealment. Again, Glock or M&P only.

Tell the NRA that Obama is trying to infringe on your ability to get Savage accessories and stand by. Some NRA fed congressman will float a "Savage Accessory Access" bill that will require stores to stock Savage Accessories because, you know, the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear modified Savage rifles. /s

So..... if a manufacturer provides an accessory for any one model of rifle, shotgun or pistol, they should be required to provide that same accessory for every model of rifle, shotgun or pistol?

Erm, I think you guys are blowing some simple venting way out of proportion...

Not me. I provided a perfectly sarcastic answer right off the bat. :lol:

Venting? C'mon. I've been angry ever since Remington converted their revolvers to fire metallic cartridges. The whole world went ga-ga over new-fangled, all-in-one cartridges.

Suddenly, I ended up having to cast my own round-ball bullets--nobody sold them any more. Either that, or spend a fortune buying a special revolver cylinder converted to fire metallic cartridges. It wasn't until about thirty years ago, I noticed a company named Speer was making round balls again.

By that time, black powder and round ball was relegated to a recreational activity <snort!>

Don't tell me about venting!

My take away the market saw a demand and stepped up. Although not as quick as some would like.......

 

[77zach]

LOL, merely a jocular venting.

It is strange though. I don't care what people like, glock and remy 700 are ubiquitous so naturally there will be more accessories for them. It's just painful when what you think are superior products aren't supported nearly as well by peripheral industries.

Got a few, great weapons and a lanyard ring. Gotta have a lanyard ring.

Some one needs to get a Brownells catalog.

Amazing what can be found there. Submit your FFL and you get a discount pricing.

Well there is your problem, but you have identified it yourself and you are taking actions (youtoob) to remedy it. I build/create firearms, it is very fun. Try this site to enhance your knowledge. http://www.weaponsguild.com/

I carried an FN-Fal for a year in the bush while in central africa. Great weapon that always worked for me. Very heavy and extra rounds got heavy too, especially when you had to jump out of aircraft with it. The key to the FN is the same as the Stoner, you have to keep it bloody clean. Not easy to do in the bush, very easy to do at home.
