Oh....sorry to hear about that. It one of those "old ones", you know. Hardly wanted by anyone, because it's considered "vintage"...so sad. You don't want to embarrass yourself shooting that old thing...think of what your friends will say seeing you with that antique. Being the generous, good fella' I am, I will take it off your hands.

Ammo is about all you want to add to that package.

20rd mags would be the best thing to start with, those look like 10 rounders. As many as you can afford :laugh:

Yes i noticed that after i bought and got two 20 rnd factory mags from whsl hunter for 37.00 each thought that was good especially after seeing what the auctions are selling them at. still have a little ammo from the 2000 rnds of 197 i bought from a forum vendor here about a year or so ago. maybe 1000 left. good food for the sbr ps90 and my new acquired friend. I'm really having a hard time deciding whether to shoot it or put it back to sleep. any input would be welcome and Thank you all!

Guns are made to be shot, not stuffed in a safe & only brought out for show & tell.

Nice looking gun! Hopefully you didn't get raped on it. I'm sure you will love firing it, as much as I love firing my USG.

Getting raped on something is sorta in the eye of the buyer, but i paid a premium for what i wanted and was happy that's what counts! 2k

I agree. As long as you're happy. I have paid more than what I should have on some items, but was very happy with my purchases. In today's market, I don't think 2k is bad at all, considering gunjoker USG's push 2k.

I'm a little biased, because I got the IOM first, but I sure like mine better than my USG. The smoother grip is much better for me. The rounded trigger guard doesn't work right in the Serpa holster. I had Rusty Sherrick make a leather one for the IOM trigger guard and it works great. Enjoy your weapon! I have many thousands of rounds downrange and it never fails to produce a smile :)

She's beautiful. She really is.

After shooting JoJo's IOM when he flew in to Austin for visiting, I found the IOM to be much more comfortable to shoot. I have a sleeve on my USG, but with the IOM, I needed none. It's all preference, I guess. :)
