looks like we might win b/c of lack of competition

Just saw that you can become team member, that is so impossible if you are European... so I go for it...
Typical my country... Swiss money, Swiss Passport and Swiss Fullauto SG552... did I forget the chocolate?

You can become a Team Member by just using any one of the US States on the payment drop down menu... I put Arizona as my home state to get my Team membership
But hey, you might win yet?

Okay,
You have done it now, the salad dodging Pie eating fat lad who originally hails from Lancashire has got dressed up and is on your case.
Standby, standby, go go go!

It was a Hostage rescue exercise with M9's & MP5's using Simunition conversion kits. It was a one off exercise, and going after the lead that the French have is going to be difficult at best. I'll post some proper pic's.

Here are some from our Reserve unit prior to them all getting a G3 clone of one sort or another, they are shooting the H&K SL7 in .308 Win at 200m.

Yes he was and to prvent accidents God put a bloody great mountain in as a bullet stop, which was what caused his actions.
BTW., those two are Vet's from WW2, the RCO has been banned and had all of his weapons taken off him due to a mental health issue.
More pic's to follow.

Okay, now for some pic's of my stuff, I have been collecting for nearly 20 years and all of my surplus cash goes either on Gun's accessories or ammo. I have a few hobbies (habits) to support, and this is just some of my stuff not all of it.
A couple of Pony's
FN High Power Gas nitride finish done by me at work.
The Glock 17 with Bubbits stock.
Longs to follow.

Back to the AR's in an indecent pose.
Diverse pictures and a group picture at the end.

LOL, I opened the thread to look at the pics and didn't even read the contest rules.
I hope he enjoys his new Team Membership, all I ask in return is if I ever manage to make it to his part of Switzerland is to show me around and a few beers.

Generous indeed Sir,
Thank you very much, I am going to be in America in september for the next four years (Doing my bacchelor, yes I know I am young), I hope I make it to your place and am able to thank you personally. Or to see you in Switzerland would be even nicer, you are always welcome.
Now I think I have to keep my M16, since I am now member in an AR15 community. Life is beautifull.
Again, thank you Sir. You will receive a message soon.

Where are you going to school at here in the States? Make sure you stop by the Team Forum and Hometown forums of the State you will be in, I am sure there are more than a few ARFCOM members who will gladly show you around or could be of extremely good help in getting acclimated to the United States as it will likely be a bit of a culture shock from Switzerland.
Please remember if you have ANY questions about the United States please post in the Team Forum, we will gladly answer them for you, we want guests in our Country to have a safe and good time.

Make sure you go to school in a free state. Dartmouth is good.

toemag, nice range!
Tell me more about the SL7, are they popular in DEU? They are pretty scarce here in the US. The HK 90 series was always more popular than the SL series. SL Mags prices are high here too. I picked up an SL6 last year.

toemag, nice range!
Tell me more about the SL7, are they popular in DEU?
The SL7 was made so that the German Reserve Soldiers could practice shooting semi automatic weapons as we were not allowed to own anything that looked like an assault weapon prior to 01.04.2003, as of that date they have become dead wood, even I have bought 2 AR's.
They are pretty scarce here in the US. The HK 90 series was always more popular than the SL series. SL Mags prices are high here too. I picked up an SL6 last year.
If you have a few AR 20's and some patience I'm sure that you can figure out how to make them fit in the SL6, this does work I have seeen them.
Tell me more about the G3 clone?
The most used one is the XR41 from Sabre Defence, allthough there are a few others on the market, that are just as expensive, they take the standard G3 mag and the most important bit is that the trigger and bolt group has been re-designed, so that they would have to be re-engineered to rock and roll.
Thanks for sharing,
You are welcome

Good to hear that you guys in DEU can now own the evil dreaded Assault weapons too. I had heard that the SL series was for that purpose but had never heard first hand if that was really true. Perhaps the SL mags will be exported over here for us HK collectors now!!
What ARs are available to you guys? My friend Shung in CHE put together a nice Sabre Defense M4 AR that I shot last month when I visited. Along with his STG90 so sweet!!
Can you guys get Colt, bushmaster Rock River etc flavors over there?
Thanks again.

@ HK Ag,
Unfortunately we only get the Sabre Defence and Oberland arm's, having said that my second AR is a Olympic Arm's. Check out the web for tips on how to convert a Colt 20 AR mag for that SL6, The work I have seen and used them..... Next time I see the guy who owns it I'll get him to take some pics for you.
