Certified Glock Nut
OK, here's the deal. I am in the midst of a job change that will result in a significant reduction in expendable personal income (mad money). That being the case, I figure I'm only going to be able to do one firearm purchase for 2011.
I want to make it a big one.

Thanks for your feedback!
The options I'm considering, from least to most expensive:
1) Serbu Super Shorty 12ga AOW, Mossberg 500 base
Pros - Stupid fun, relatively low cost (as NFA stuff goes), and would round out my NFA collection (I already own SBRs, suppressors and an MG)
Cons - Strictly a "fun gun" - practical applications are seriously limited
2) AKS-74U "Krinkov" 5.45 SBR build
Pros - CDI factor, would round out my 5.45 rifle family (I already own a full-size AK-74 and an AK-105 SBR), and I'm already well-stocked with compatible mags and ammo
Cons - Anything the Krink can do, my AK-105 can do as well or better
3) High-End 5.56 carbine (Bushmaster ACR, Robinson XCR, Piston AR, etc)
Pros - CDI factor, and I'm already well-stocked with compatible mags and ammo
Cons - Would it do anything better than the ARs I already have? Also proprietary parts in some cases
4) Select-Fire UZI.
Pros - What part of "select-fire UZI" did you not understand? I've wanted one ever since I first got into the NFA world. Procrastinated and missed the boat the first time around when Vector still had pre-86 receivers to build on, and ended up buying the MAC instead. This could be my last chance to pick up my dream gun.
Cons - It would require selling the MAC to make it happen, plus selling additional firearms or assuming some amount of debt. I don't shoot the MAC all that much due to lack of venues that allow full-auto fire; I don't see why an UZI would be any different.
Alternative) Concentrate on feeding/accessorizing the guns I've got and maybe taking another class or two.
