I can easily see why they named it the Parrot. So, you have this Holy Grail competition pistol in your collection? That is pretty cool, since they only produce less than 10 per year, with less than five imported to the U.S.

Any experts on here with experience using a binary trigger on an AR pistol? I have a 7.5" upper, fixed pistol length gas system, flash can, full auto bcg, 3oz carbine buffer, and an assortment of buffer springs.

The gun runs great in semi auto, great in binary with double taps, but if I try to dump a mag I can outrun the gun and get hammer follow. I've tried all of the buffer springs with the same result.

I think a light weight BCG may be needed to speed the gun up but let me know what you guys think.

I think they import way more than 10 per year. The gun store I bought mine from had 4 of them. I recently saw another one at another gun range I shoot at so they are out there but they are a rare bird for sure. It's a great shooting gun. Still though the 2011 based open guns are thought of in a higher regard.

I promised the wife no more guns until we buy a house. I really just need to stay away from the gun store...or hurry up and buy a house.

That’s what the wife gets for sending me to town for groceries. I can’t help that there is a gun store on the way.

Picked up my first bolt action rifle. Ruger American Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor.

That may be true. I was going by what was written in HERE.
Can I ask what you paid for it? I was seeing pricing in the $3100-$3400 range.

Had to go make sure my rifle was still in the safe. Looks extremely similar to yours but I think this is a M1917 Enfield. My dad gave it to me. His dad used it in WWI

Well I've always kept my weapons pretty much stock. Instead of buying the AR-12 I was talking about I thought I would spend some time and money building up one of my weapons. Currently my favorite weapon is a H&K VP9. I'm a lefty and this weapon is killer for us "Right Minded" types. I may branch out to a H&K 45 eventually but I do love my 9s. I've sent my slide off to Home - SLIDEWORKS ENGINEERING for red dot milling and cerakoting. It's being cut for the Vortex Venom, not top of the line but a good entry for the price. I'm sure range time will be needed to get accustomed to a red dot. Range time is always fun time. It'll be a slide only cerakote in a battle worn midnight bronze. Also ordered some upgraded internals from H&K as well as grips from Talon. Will share some pics once I receive it back in a few weeks. Any insight on this path would be greatly appreciated.

I absolutely love my VP9-SK. It always feels like I'm one with this pistol when I shoot with it. That slide work sounds interesting. Post a couple of pics and a review when you get it back and get a chance to try it at your range.

I didn’t know that Nylon 66 rifles could be so valuable. Did anyone else know that some of these “plastic” guns can go for up to 2 grand!?
