Great knife, looks well loved. Also, that sandwich quote is both hysterical and very timely!I can't take a pic of a gun and knife together right now, but I just had to put another lever gun out there.

Sucks that some states have to be so against legal gun owners. I am certain the criminals will follow the capacity laws.Illinois house and Senate have now passed the "assault weapons " and mag capacity ban, goes back to the house tomorrow. Will probably pass and go into effect Wednesday. Ugh. Cleaned my Sig AR tonight to get my frustration out.
Due to this, I'm keeping my PX4. Going to add a few more mods instead. Here's a pic with my Tavor SAR. Ordered some more .40S&W ammo. Also putting a small vertical foregrip on the Tavor.
I've moved the PX4 into the lower level in my pistol safe. Steyr M9-A1 in the car, Sig P365xl SAS as primary carry. Eventually I'll be getting a hidden quick release rifle safe for downstairs as well. Saving up for a lever action in .45-70 to keep down there along with the Beretta.

Thanks.Sucks that some states have to be so against legal gun owners. I am certain the criminals will follow the capacity laws.
Nice looking bullpup setup
Understand. Hopefully very temporary and the small business owners can survive.Thanks.
In our state, it's less about keeping "assault" weapons out of peoples hands (it will still be legal yo own, just not buy/sell) and more about shutting down gun stores. AR's, AK's, etc and the accessories are their bread and butter. Once again, small businesses will be taking a hit, if temporarily.
The illinois state police doesn't have the manpower to enforce these laws. It's all posturing because our governor plans to run for president and wants to show he can "get things done." It will be overturned because it's unconstitutional, but in the meantime it makes it looks like the dems are doing something about "gun" violence. Of course the real problem is violence, and culture where mass violence is acceptable.
Nice. I have never shot a bullpup. Might have to rent one on my next range tripOh and as far as the bullpup goes, it's got a Shooting Sight drop in trigger pack, which is excellent. I want to add the Geissele supra Saber trigger as well. Really an excellent gun. Great for the narrow halls at my house, where a longer gun would be more cumbersome to move around.

I prefer the ergonomics of a conventional rifle over a bullpup so I’m stuck collecting stampsBullpups are a lot of fun. The compact size makes them very maneuverable. They also allow the general public to enjoy the benefits you'd otherwise need a special (and unconstitutional) license to enjoy with an SBR. Plus, I've got shoulder problems on the left so keeping both the weight and my support hand closer to my body is a big bonus.

The oem wooden stock on the Zastava N-PAP is a bastid. The comb is so high (at least on the one I shot) that you have to really jam your cheek down on the stock. Which, after a few rounds of 7.62x39, makes your cheek feel like you've been punched. The one I shot got modded to a AR style straight stock, which shot much better, then.So I'm insane. I took an extra long lunch today to run to an LGS I'd nearby I just discovered and bought a new rifle just under the wire. I've never impulse bought a gun. I hemmed and hawed, the place makes their own AR's and FAL's. I looked at an AR in 6.5 grendel, but they had a really good deal on a Zastava AK-47 so I bought it. I can pick it up Friday. Woo-hoo. Mahogany fore end and grip. It's used, but unfired. The rep bought it, then two days later decided to trade it in towards something more expensive. Its got the skeletonized metal stock, which I'm not a huge fan of. I will replace it with the traditional stock.
We shall see. I'm still not sure I'm actually going to use it, I may just keep it as an investment. I have a feeling prices on stuff like this are going to skyrocket. Its very hard for me though, as I'm a believer in using stuff, not letting it sit in a safe.The oem wooden stock on the Zastava N-PAP is a bastid.

It will probably be fine with the folding stock you mentioned. If you replace it with a traditional stock, just be aware of that possibility. Again, IF shooting it.We shall see.

And I’m sure all the Real Criminals will stop using those mags and guns as soon as they are banned right ?!?!Illinois house and Senate have now passed the "assault weapons " and mag capacity ban, goes back to the house tomorrow.

Yessir law abiding citizens are worried…the criminals and bangers not so much…upside down world…Understand. Hopefully very temporary and the small business owners can survive.
Meanwhile, Chicago's gun violence continues to rise but that is hidden as being a local issue.
You hit the nail square on the head. Violence has become accepted and in some places fostered, fertilized and grown.
