They are pretty sweet. Crazy thing is, I only paid $1200 for mine. Same price as a decent 1911. Ofcourse, that was just for the gun, no bipod, tripod, butt pad, or accessories.

Usmcpmi, what do you have for a link loader? I bought on of the newer press in style. The original loaders are awesome, but for $1000, they can keep them. Plus, I don't use cloth belts.

Can ya'll tell how much fun I had shooting all these??? lol
The Kimber's, AR15's, M1919, TWO 50 cals, Benelli's, XD's I don't have.... Where else does a person get to shoot that kind of variety?

No manual link loader... just my two little hands....load a 100 round belt in about 5 min. I guess. I picked up mine fro about 1400, but it came with an extra barrel and 800 links, 600 rounds of ammo. I need to give it a good cleaning, it had too many FTF last time out. One thing is for sure, you need to keep them well oiled to have them run right. I'm glad ya'll liked shooting it, that's why I have it, I LIKE IT! Anybody ever watch 'Kellys Heros"? With Clint Eastwood? Saw one in that movie LOOOONNNGG time ago, and knew I wanted one. MG

The biggest problem I had was not knowing that the ammo had to be an exact length or it wouldn't feed them. Once I got that sorted out, no other problems, well, besides a 15# trigger pull. I think I need a spade grip.
