Say if you wanted a thumper that could be slowed down for short range steel, etc.

I do like wildcats, mostly.  It's too bad this one needs too much modification from the original for me.  It needs a 6.8SPC bolt face and modifications to the magazine.  Its a killer for me but applaud someone trying to get more out of the platform.  I think the 458 SOCOM is superior for these reasons.

I have this design in the following calibers: .22lr, 9mm, 5.56mm, 7.62x39mm, and 7.62x51mm. I have both A1 and A2 rifles as well as pistons from Adams arms, Sig, and LWRCI. I have used this desing in both military and Law Enforcement roles. And in 29 years, i believe this design to truly be the cadillac of the battle field.
But lately i am bored of the reliability and accuracy. I am looking at the AK47 to throw some fun in it all again.
Kind of like Glock pistols are great and all. But after 25 years, i am now looking at 1911 and hipower and cz75.
But if it ever comes down to it, the AR in 5.56 and the G17 are my goto weapons!

I did it the other way around.  Be advised, it gets expensive.  I've been a 1911 guy for many, many years, and have a genuine attraction to the HiPower too.  Both are great platforms, damn near timeless.

That said, I often carry a Glock now.

My newest infatuation is the HK P7, it shoots amazing well, is incredibly controllable, exceedingly accurate, and quite safe to carry.  The downside is magazine capacity.  And they are appreciating in value almost by the day.

Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

Ok. I first started getting into pistols and was sold on HK. Rancid I should share some pics that will make you drool. Anyways, so when it became time to look at semi rifles I started with the HK .308s. A Century Arms CETME, and then a Springfield SAR-8.

Then I got into ARs. I started with an Armalite A3, then went.308 with an AR-10 TC (Target Carbine) which for the price I regretted later because I could have gotten a target with a 28? Inch Lothar barrel.

I love the platform for the customability. I of course had to build an AR so I got a couple Rock River lowers and built up a lower. I also bought a SOCOM lower in a blue finish, but haven't built it yet (bonus points of anyone knows what that is).

I have gone back and forth with the thought of building an AR pistol, but I hate that dorky buffer tube sticking out the back of a pistol. In the end I bought a Keltec PLR-16.

I am delighted with the AR bolt gun trend. While I drooled over the RPR and was happy to see the Savage come out, the Tikka now has my full attention. Rancid and others, it isn't about ARing a bolt gun. It's about getting bolt gun accuracy in a platform customizable with the world of AR parts.
