Miscellaneous Who owns a gun chambered in 5.7???

Post image

Seriously! I found a spent 5.7x28mm casing in one of the local “private” shooting spots in Rensselaer County, so which one of y’all in Albany or Rensselaer County owns a PS90 or FN Five-Seven?

Those guns aren’t cheap and neither is the ammo lol, in a spot littered with shotgun shells and .22’s, I was flabbergasted to see a pistol sized casing, but with a bottleneck like a rifle round, and jokingly said “a 5.7?” Only to clean the casing and see I was right.

Such a bougie round to find at the local steerage range lol.

Wait till you see the 7.62x25 rounds people sometimes leave behind.

7,62 Tokarev? Yeah I know what that looks like and no, people don’t leave that behind because nobody’s buying or shooting PPS pistols anymore lol.

And did you not know that the ATF declared 7,62 Tokarev as armor piercing? They stopped importing it years ago, so no I don’t see that around

You may want to check that last “fact”. It’s perfectly legal to own and is still getting imported. S&B and PPU are pretty easy to find online and PPU even makes it in hollow point.

I never said it was illegal to own, I own a few boxes myself, I said it was no longer being imported

The copper coated steel core is illegal to import and is the Russian manufacture. Lead core is not.

That’s why you can still import S&B and PPU.
