It finally happened.

Post by Visceral_Malice » 14 Sep 2011, 20:15

After being a member of this forum since January and shamefully not even owning a single 5.7 platform, I finally saved up enough to get my hands on a Fiveseven. A couple weekends back we had 2nd amendment weekend here in Louisiana and all firearms related purchases were tax free. I came across a FDE Fiveseven and couldn't pass up a tax free purchase on it. I won't waste time reiterating all the great things about it. My only complaint is I got the lame hardcase that looks like some kind of playskool briefcase.

I love that case. The new ones are really nice, also. But I just love something about the vintage ones :)
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

Welcome to the club :thumb:

I too like the older case better than the new ones :)

Very nice. I have many of both. The new ones are better if you remove the plastic liner and replace with foam. Then it a great case for multiple guns.

nice gun! CONGRATS!

like the new case. looks like they would stack nice. I wish I could find out who makes them. but a softcase is probably the way to go.

I think the new case suck balls unless you change the crappy blue plastic with foam
