Finally....after almost a year and half....FS Vector home to roost!
The FA bug had been nibbling on me for years. While in the service i got to play with M-60's and M-16's but that was years ago. A bit of money fell my way and after a bit of a search, found a FS Vector for sale on a form four. After a bit of negoiating i paid $3250 for it. This was in January of 2003. So i file my paperwork with LEO, Las Vegas Metro PD, and oh sorry...you had an arrest back in 1981. NOT a conviction mind you, just an arrest. Paperwork returned to me unsigned.
Fine....if they dont want to know i have it....F**K them. Went the corporate route. Not as expensive as you might think but took a while, mostly in part to me having other irons in the fire.
Paperwork with corporation info listed and arrived at ATF on March 16th, dealer received paperwork back on May 19th. While i was glad to get the paperwork back, i think sticking it to the cops and keeping them in the dark about me having it was more gratifying!!!!!
Brought her home and stripped her down. Gun was spotless except just a bit dry for my liking before firing. Wal Mart had white box Winchester for $10.97/100. Bought 10 boxes, dropped by the house and picked up the gun, wifey insisted on going, off we truck to a area in desert everyone shoots at.
Out of 400 or so rounds i had one FTF...gun fired, case extracted, but new round not picked up out of magazine. Now as we drove to the place to shoot we passed one vehicle. After we had fired 200-250 rounds vehicles slowly materialized around us. The other people were shooting but when my wife or i shot the UZI all other firing quit. On guy was there that i knew slightly and he came up and talked a bit. Let him shoot it a bit THEN:
A guy approached stating that full auto weapons were illegal and wasn't i taking a chance in firing it here? I nicely informed him that FA was legal if you jumped through the correct hoops. He was adament that it was illegal and expressed this opinion in a loud manner. We fired approximately 150 more rounds over a half hour or so. This guy finally stated "someone" should call 911 (we were having too much fun without him?). At this point i was just tired of him. I told him to fine, call 911, but please dont bother me when you do it, call from your car. He told me i was a "smartass"...i couldnt argue with that, at times i am, but told him just to MYOB. After more of the same comments from him I ultimately got tired of him and told him to "F off". He left in a tizzy. NOT the way i wanted it to come out, but IMHO he had several options.
1. join us, i would have shared
2. ignore us...HE was the one that stopped and starting shooting where we were, there were/is alot of different places to shoot here.
3. report us. If he truly thought a unlawful act/unsafe act were occuring CALL 911.
He chose option 4, mouth off his opinion and be loud about it.
Bottom line though...gun functioned fine...couple questions maybe you can help me with:
1. comments on bozo welcome...how would you have responded. I had my form 4 with me, but didn't see how i had any obligation to show it too him...his attitude was what pissed me off more than anything.
2. what type of case does everyone like best...BABY needs a warm place to sleep!
3. the white boxed Winchester seemed to run fine...Was going to buy S & B, heard good things about it, but does it matter? The Winchester seem to run great and is fairly cheap @ $118/1000.
3. what is everyone's favorite lube?
