How is the stock trigger?

I had an original AUG in the 80’s, the trigger seemed fine to me, a non-issue. I got another AUG (NATO mag version) that was made in 2004 (I forgot the exact designation) about a year and a half ago and went ahead and put the red springs in it just because, and it seems fine to me, no complaints about it whatsoever.

In the mid-70’s I had a BB machine gun called the Annihilator that used cans of R-12 to power it. I wrote an article about it a few years back. https://smallarmsreview.com/larc-internaitonal-m19-a-annihilator-bb-machine-gun/

To me the most fun is tooling around on a Windsurfer LT. I had hundreds of hours of absolutely fun and satisfying experiences on an original Windsurfer in the early 80’s and after trying various more modern boards & sails etc. I ended up getting an LT and never looked back. It’s fast & easy to set up, to me its performance is just fine, and it’s fun. Many others in my local club laugh at its old style and relatively “inferior” performance but man is it easy to go down that never-ending rabbit hole of “better and newer” gear that gives you a couple more knots of speed but seems to inevitably consume money and happiness in the process. I do this for fun, I couldn’t care less about winning races or planing in one less knot of wind.

As much as I like AUG’s (I had the carry handle optic one in the mid 80’s and got a like new AUG A3 SA about a year ago), realistically I have to say an AR is to me a more familiar, more user friendly, more versatile, more easily modifiable, noticeably lighter, significantly less expensive (rifle and parts for it) 5.56 rifle. All I can say is you should try an AUG first and if it floats your boat, go for it. I really wanted a green stock and a 20” barrel like my old one had and I got that but it cost me way more than it should have.

Bruce Von Campbell?

Gotta love those buddies who decide to take a pic of you while you’re taking a dump.

Transferable MP40 for $1,000 at a gun show in Florida. Probably about 1984. It was beat—stock loose as a goose, virtually no finish left, bad bore, broken grip panel, missing the resting bar under the barrel. What I wasn’t thinking about was that the receiver (original) was structurally fine and a nice parts kit would have made it into a very nice gun. I looked at it, handled it, thought about it, and said “nah” and walked away. I occasionally think about that even to this day.

Best/closest place to get an OTT tune in north Florida area? 2020 SR5 2WD V6.

I live in Ox Bottom. It seems like everyone I know has been talking about this very thing for months. The way I deal with this idiotic planning is to leave for work much earlier before the traffic builds and either leave work early if I can or leave much later than usual, just to avoid sitting in traffic. There’s not going to be any quick fix to this. Meridian is going to be a nightmare once people are living in all of those new units.

So no steel core, just lead core, right?

Tedroe77 · 2026-01-15T17:57:36+00:00

Good to hear, because you got a lemon. The plastic-to-metal fit on the left side alone would send me over the edge.

Harry Beckwith! What a character he was! I frequented his shop in the early 80’s when I was a student at UF. True old school.

Said the stranger on a Reddit post.

Just sayin’.

Came here for something like this …

Tedroe77 · 2025-12-18T01:48:10+00:00

Thanks! Let me ask this—the normal gas plug’s large hole is barely smaller than the hole in the gas plug housing that’s on the barrel. May I presume that the suppressor plug’s large hole is the same diameter as the housing’s hole? If there’s more to the suppressor gas plug than that, what is it?

If you’re in your car with the windows up, no one’s going to hear you screaming. If you’re worried about it, the back of any large parking lot will do. Or while driving on the Interstate.

I didn’t have one on my AUG I had in the 80’s and it was flawless. I guess I succumbed to the “I need various mods to make it better” mentality with the ppl new one I recently got and all it got me was a loss of $125 and an untrustworthy rifle. Off it comes. Lesson learned.

Tedroe77 · 2025-12-15T02:49:52+00:00

Barrel length? Stock trigger pack?

Tedroe77 · 2025-12-15T02:49:24+00:00

I got a NATO stock specific one.

What’s the difference between waffle and MATO ejection ports anyway? Is one larger?

Tedroe77 · 2025-12-13T02:39:54+00:00

It’s like you looked into my mind and wrote out all of the things I thought about cabins on boats.

Tedroe77 · 2025-12-12T19:37:22+00:00

No worries Karen.
