Border Lancaster @ $460 Lightning Deal

[ScottsGT]

Act fast!

Sprue Bros lightning deal. Killer price if you’ve been holding out.

That's a good price. Sadly I don't think I have room for a 5th Lanc kit. At least not without finding a place for me too. 

[ScottsGT]

5th?   So you have 4?   
 

Not sure if you need a high five or an intervention.

Two Border Lancs and two HK ones. Yeah, slight overkill on those.

I just got the Border Kate today and think I rather have the Border He-111 or the new A-20 .............dam I have been looking at a BM-59  also which  means no models

[ScottsGT]

Dang, where did you find a BM-59?   I scratched the “Garand with a magazine” itch with an M1-A.

I had one years ago on an original Beretta receiver just a different barrel these are clones seems they have worked out any teething issues

Ugh…billet steel and not forged receiver.  Personally I’d pass unless I had a spare Garand receiver laying around to modify.  
And mfgr says use mil surplus 7.62, not .308.  Any kaboom with .308 and I’m betting no warranty.

Reloads.Think about the M1a cast receiver I have put about 5k rounds down mine

Try this, Scott....https://www.sarcoinc.com/search-results-page?q=bm-59.

I can no longer buy such toys in my wonderful state. Fortunately, I already had most of the bucket list taken care of, with this one just under the wire before the law changed...

Bula Defense M-21 DMR receiver.

Yea, that’s a real “Derp” moment for me.  I honestly don’t think I’ve even put 200 rds through mine.  I got it about the time I was building my Garand and it just seems “more fun” with the ping at the end.

I am thinking it's getting time to rebarrel I need to drop a scope back on her to find out.I say 5/7 years ago I could still hit the 18"X18" plate @350yds open sights and just orange colored glasses 4 out of 5 shots.The last range visit was having an issue keeping a 2" group at 100yds use to be 1.25/1.5" could be the ole eyes now 63.

The other BM-59 I had was #00186 sold to a fella on a LEO forum in Quantico $1700 $1500(2007) maybe 15 years ago now it's probably worth 3.2K/3.7K
