Machine Gun Price Guide

If you are thinking about getting into machine gun collecting one of the best websties to check out is www.machinegunpriceguide.com. This site has graphs that they update regularly to reflect the current market prices of popular machine guns. These charts can be rather upsetting when you see the high price numbers which are always on the rise. The website itself is pretty easy to navigate and even has some links to Class 3 dealers on the web. It is worth a look even if you don't intend to get into that full auto market.

Interceptor Body Armor

Guns and ammo are hard to find these days due to high demand which has led gun owners to stock up on other gun related things. I have noticed an increase in body armor talk amongst the gun community and wanted to do a quick review of a recent purchase. The interceptor vest or OTV(outer tactical vest) was used by the US military for most the 2000's but has since been replaced making them very available for surplus buys. Most interceptors like mine were made by Point Blank Armor. The vest without trauma plates is rated to stop 9mm and fragmentation. The vest itself is very comfortable to put on and has straps and Velcro to help adjust to your body. There are multiple accessories you can get for the vest for both tactical aspects and protection. I would recommend this vest over a plate carrier that most people seem to be buying just for the fact that it does have Kevlar inserts that will help prevent penetration from certain bullets and any ricochet off a plate. If you plan on buying the vest online you will want to make sure it comes with the Kevlar inserts that are made by Point Blank and have a more recent manufacture date.

MechTech Glock CCU

I am sure you are thinking what the hell is that thing, and is that a Glock handgun in there? Let me explain this is a MechTech CCU. CCU stands for carbine conversion unit which should start to make sense when looking at the picture. MechTech has created essentially an upper receiver for certain Glock(and 1911) handguns that turns them into rifles. Not much work is required to set these up mainly field stripping your handgun and adding a "glock block" device which helps with feeding to the upper. MechTech sells many different parts to customize your rifle kit like the one seen here. This is a great little project to do if you have an extra Glock lying around that you aren't using. The rifle kits comes as just the upper so no stock included. I haven't shot one but I have seen it used before at the range and they are very neat. Check it out here MechTech
