Hello all,
I would like to benefit from your experience. I’m still new to guns and I got myself a GSG16 for my first. I like it but now I would like to upgrade to something more powerful and reliable. What do you recommend for a black rifle semi-auto around 1k which is non restricted? Give
me your top 3 please.

1) a time machine

2) a hot tub which also functions as a time machine

3) something about using the sun's gravity to go back in time.

I suppose you could also go the sks + black spray paint route

Yeah I don't mind, do you know if black creek is a good brand?

They had a lot of trouble with their BCL 102 (semi auto 308, now prohib). I think they were on rev7 when the ban hit. Bolt is a lot more simple so maybe it's ok but I haven't heard about it.
