My father passed away last year and left a very small insurance policy...rather than do something stupid like pay a month's mortgage, invest in the stock market, or throw it down a well, I decided to buy a few more for the armory over the last month. (When my mom passed, I used what she left me to buy a Luger)
Since today is my birthday, I went ahead and picked up the last of my new foreign friends...the petite, sexy Austrian to make it a threesome.

- Saiga-12, 12 gauge
- CAI Golani, 5.56x45 mm
- MSAR StG556-E4, 5.56x45 mm
The Saiga was converted to a pistol grip config by the former owner...I added the stock, grip, a rail, extended charging handle, the Krebs sights, a Predator brake and the 10 round mags. If functions great with factory ammo...reloads not so much.
The Golani runs fine, even though it has the short bullet guide. It is accurate and has less recoil than even an AR due to the weight. The grip is comfortable, decent trigger, sights are pretty good and it is a solid feeling, good handling rifle. I like it better than any of my AKs I own.
The MSAR AUG-clone is the E4 model that takes AR mags...it just arrived at my dealer yesterday. I put 50 flawless rounds through it today in celebration of my birthday...its configuration makes it feel like a .22 LR in recoil...absolutely no muzzle rise at all. The trigger is WAY better than I expected. Mag changes are going to take some getting used to.

Seems you have the International flavor for the armory going...
Those MSAR/ AUG's. are like driving in England. The mag's just on the wrong end/side. ???... ;D

Happy D-day KPR. Nice girls. I was actually hoping for redheads, but oh well, these brunettes will do nicely, thank you.
I'm partial to redheads, FWIW.

Helluva birthday KPR. :o

Looks like a great birthday.
Enjoy those hot ladies. ;D
-
Nice birthday porn KPR. Don't spend too much time with one or the others will get jealous.
-
Thanks all for the nice well wishes for my birthday.
I'll admit that I'm a bit infatuated with the AUG. I've "hated" bullpups all my life based on the typical arguements...non-ambidexterous, chamber by your cheek, crappy triggers, difficult mag changes. That said, I "hated" AR15s and AKs until I bought them and used them extensively. Then I learned to appreciate the advantages of each platform
Same with the bullpup. You really can't believe how compact and handy they are. And the straightline design plus the short moment arm based on the receiver configuration means really good recoil control. The trigger on this is surprisingly good...much better than most stock mil-spec ARs. Not a match trigger by any means...just not as bad as "everyone" says.
I'll play with the platform and learn the goods and bads.

I gotta say...the bullpup is growing on me...holy crap are they compact
And I love your location....Adelaide! My wife and I spent 3 fantastic weeks in Austrailia back in 2002...Sydney, the Barossa Valley, the Outback and Caines. I loved the wine country around Adelaide.
