Title: 380 Seecamp Replacement
Post by: yankee2500 on October 01, 2010, 05:57:18 PM
This is what I sold my LWS 380 to buy, a lot more fun to shoot better for home defense but harder to CC, although at 26" OAL not impossible with a coat on. ;D

         John, that's beautiful! And I'll bet that it's a heckuva lot more enjoyable to shoot than a Seecamp .380 :D      Gene

Corey,
   There are two models the STG and the E4, the difference being the STG takes Microtech mags and the E4 takes standard AR mags. The E4 is about $300 more, my thought was I can buy a lot of Microtech mags for $300.
MSAR 223 10rd Target Mag New Factory $19.99
MSAR STG 223 20rd Clear Smoke Mag New $19.99
MSAR STG 223 42rd Black Mag New Factory $22.99
MSAR STG 223 42rd Clear Smoke Mag New  $22.99

There are some of the STGs on GunBroker for $999 another place that has a lot of the guns and accessories is.

The gun is a lot more fun to shoot than the LWS380 and  5.56/223 is cheaper and easier to find than 380 ammo.  ;D
 it is quite accurate and with the gas piston has less recoil than a standard AR.

John.  Good looking STG.  I'm still looking at the E4 at the hometown gun shop.  I keep holding off, as I've said somewhere, for something in .308; not in any hurry.

The Kel-Tec RFB is 308

The Kel-Tec RFB High Efficiency Rifle (Rifle, Forward-ejection, Bullpup) is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle with a tilting breechblock locking mechanism, manufactured by Kel-Tec Industries of Florida. It loads the 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) cartridge and uses metric FAL magazines. The rifle uses a patented forward-ejection system via a tube placed over the barrel that ejects the spent case forwards, over the handguard of the rifle.

The rifle is a forward ejecting semi-automatic firearm chambered in 7.62 mm NATO (.308 Winchester), utilizing a short-stroke gas piston. To avoid the sloppy trigger pull typical of bullpup style firearms, the RFB utilizes a floating linkage bar between the sear and the hammer, allowing the sear to remain above the trigger. The weapon is fully ambidextrous, much in the style of the French FAMAS bullpup assault rifle. The RFB accepts FN FAL style magazines, and is delivered without iron sights. A mil-spec Picatinny rail is standard.

Thanks for the info, John.  I'll definitely look at the Kel-Tec RFB; and it's a Bullpup.  Excellent.

Corey.  Looked up their web site; price $1463.99 and out of stock.  Thanks again, though.

Richard,
   It would be a pleasure and an honor to shoot Zombies with you. I will stop and pick up a case of Bushmills 21 before I arrive. ;D

Good going Yankee, I know you will love it.  I haven't even picked up my AR's in over 5 yrs since I bought my AUG.
Title: Re: 380 Seecamp Replacement
Post by: yankee2500 on October 03, 2010, 08:22:21 PM
I won't pick up my AR either, I sold it. ;D I figured if I wanted another one down the road I would buy it then.
  I'm very pleased with the STG and it is a blast to shoot, it almost puts all the empties in a pile, there all very close together. Most of my pistols  spray the empty brass in all directions. :o

Real cool looking rifle you now have, and you now have others wanting.

I'd say you did real well getting the STG.

So, how is this new piece working out, you have me interested in one now.
I'd have been closer if I didn't buy the Uberti.

So far I'm very happy with it, quite accurate and it is a lot of fun to shoot.
