Re: 9mm rifles: SGC LR v VZ MARS
I was shooting my LR9 Uzi mag out at 100 yds at the weekend. Initially it was a 'most wanted / least used' rifle but a good session with it at the weekend has made me like it all over again.
EDIT: Spent more time picking up brass than actually firing it, it can fling cases quite a distance.

Buy a brass catcher! http://www.elmfg.com/store/brasscatcher.html#_144 When i used my LRA9 at the indoor range it was a must-have as the cases would ping off the wall next to me then straight onto my head leaving little black rings all over my face :lol:Charlotte the flyer wrote:I was shooting my LR9 Uzi mag out at 100 yds at the weekend.

Re: 9mm rifles: SGC LR v VZ MARS
I'm looking at the Caldwell picatinny one but I'm concerned about stoppage drills and general awareness of what the rifle is doing. I had a few stovepipes and you wouldn't automatically see them with a catcher on.

Yeah the one i linked would be no good for comps etc and it really does lock on there but for general plinking/non-timed stuff its ideal

It still is, I have only lost 1 case since I gor your gun, which is a brilliant bit of kit and every bit as good,as the one I used to own.

I think I'm veering towards the sgc. I had a good chat with them today and it seems to tick boxes...
Plus I think it's a more 'versatile' chassis than an AK-style variant, but that's of course very subjective.

Speak to Ian at ITL as he's getting Bob to make another UZI batch, he had one delivered recently.bradaz11 wrote:i wish you could still get the uzi mag fed SGC's, they look like colt 635's, i have 9mm on my ticket and would love one
