Pre-March Gun Madness

0
1705

We have a variety of .223 rifles and pistols available for custom buildup for this week, barrel lengths from 7.5 – 24 inches.  I dressed out a Bushmaster Carbon 15 for an example and followed it up with a couple of our own loadouts including our “lost leader” $649 special.

As usual, we have a good supply of attractively priced carry and range pistols and some interesting and perhaps exotic things, including innovative .308 semi-automatic “devices.”

For further information or to purchase any of these guns, please contact Mike Chester at Chet’s Firearms of Howell, Michigan. [email protected] or phone 517-548-9558. Ask for Mike. Prices do not include shipping to your local FFL except for the SCCY and the CZ-70 pistols. Their prices include shipping.

    The base rifle is a DPMS Panther Oracle.  We replaced the standard handguard with an Israeli Command Arms drop in with multiple pic rails.  We have added a front tactical grip with deployable spring-loaded bipod and a solid red dot.  This is a new weapon with full factory warranty from a manufacturer even we trust.

    • An “Old School” AR Pistol

      5.56mm/.223 Wylde

      gg_086 gg_083 Exactly like a MAC 10 but a thousand times better. Perfect ergonomics, perhaps the scariest “business end” view in town and light as a feather…

      SigTac Custom “Can within a Can” .223 Pistol

      All Business

      gg_065gg_066 gg_068 gg_067

      “Imagine staring down a barrel big enough for a rat to crawl out”

      By “all business,” we really mean it. This is absolutely perfect ergonomics and top components in a unique custom design. Can anyone say this isn’t a “bad boy?” Moving us back in time to when the grease gun and MAC 10/Ingram were hottest things around. We built on this tradition, cutting the weight in half, doubling the range and accuracy and, oddly enough, not violating any laws either.

      MOS_8425 MOS_8406

      This is an excellent choice of weapons, one of my favorites. This is a very high quality police/military weapon of excellent quality, accuracy and safe operation. I am very “old school” about weapons with hammers. This includes night sights. (yes, they glow)

      .308 Pistol 11.5 Inch

      This is the single most powerful weapon of its size in the world today. With standard 25 round magazine, or an optional 50 round drum, this has unparalleled range and stopping power with ease of control. This is the lightest .308 available. Needless to say, this is also one of the rarest and hardest to get weapons in existence. Considering that this is technically a pistol in full 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester, we are breaking some new ground here.

      Jewel quality “first” barrel in full 24 inch allows this .308 to deliver full ballistic performance at ranges above 400 meters. This converts quickly for use as a “field gun” as the barrel weight and design are suitable for both hunting and tactical use.

      Mini-AK .223 Assault Pistol

      gg_003gg_004gg_006gg_005gg_002

      We don’t normally offer AK products but this is a favorite. The standard PAP/Serbian AK, selling “black market” for over $900 is offered with 3 30 round high quality steel magazines. The .223 round reduces recoil and nearly doubles effective range (based on rapid fire) when combined with a brace and holographic sight.

      An aluminum pic rail is mounted on the sight rail, allowing full use of the high quality system. Included is a high quality private label CQB Holographic sight using CR123 batteries. Everything on this is rock solid. We could make you the envy of every Kiev backed merc on the block.

      We cloned the blackout above with some key exceptions. We cut down barrel weight, going with a premium M4. We went to .223, cutting ammo cost as well, picked up a premium stock and did everything right once again. The NC Star tri-rail scopes mimic very high end combat optics and allow for rapid target acquisition. In “black on black,” you have to admit, there is a certain brutal elegance to this.

      Shipped optics will be better consumer grade scope or “superior” tactical ACOG/CQB. A target enthusiast would spend much more on a scope than the weapon itself. In this case, the weapons will be well worth the effort. All questions to go Mike Chester at Chet’s Firearms : 517 548 9558 or email: [email protected] A Licensed Federal Firearms Dealer.

      I include the video above for a variety of reasons. Jim Dean can explain it better, perhaps. If you don’t understand, then perhaps you don’t know what “walking the walk” really means to us. Anyone remember Richard Kiley? In 1965, this was a “hit single” on the rock charts. Do you want to ask why some of us seem to want “out of Dodge?”

      SCCY CPX-2 9mm Pistol

      MOS_8188b

      The SCCY CPX-2 pistol has been rated by Guns and Ammo and Handguns Magazine as a best buy. It is ideal as a lower priced (but not lower quality) pistol. This one is brand new in the factory packaging and includes 2 premium steel magazines with both flat and “pinky ” floorplates and a trigger lock. This is a hammer fired double action only pistol that is ideal for concealed carry due to its small size. It shoots the 9mm cartridge which is available for a reasonable price and in many target and anti-personal varieties.

      We are offering this for $269

      VT Enhanced Tactical Pistol

      The AR pistol has proven itself to be, perhaps, the most versatile and enjoyable platform available. Note that this is technically a pistol and ownership falls under that category. Make sure you are allowed to own such a thing in your locality. We began with a premium “Wylde” barrel, chrome lined and went full premium all the way. We added scope matched to expected performance and mounted it for perfect balance. Set down to 5x, this gets a sight picture easily and can hit a tin can at 150 meters in 2 seconds.

      This is a used CZ-70 pistol chambered in the 7.65 Browning (32ACP) It is the civilian model of the famous VZ-70 used by the Czech military and is based on the world famous Walther PP design. We have gone through this gun completely and replaced all of the internal springs and the sear. The exterior has been touched up, but it has not been totally restored to new condition. It is all black, but the photos show reflections from the slide that make it appear as a two tone. It comes with 2 7 round magazines and a hard plastic case. It is fully capable of shooting modern .32ACP ammo, both full metal jacket and hollow point. We are offering it for $249.00 including shipping to your local FFL.
