The Ultimate Gnarly Black Rifle

"Firefly: Our Mrs. Reynolds (#1.3)" (2002)

[Jayne is walking menacingly towards Mal with a large gun]
Jayne: Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun.
[he holds the gun out to Mal]
Mal: [exclaims in Chinese] You offering me a trade?
Jayne: A trade? Hell, it's theft. This the best gun made by man. It has *extreme* sentimental value. It's miles more worthy 'n what you got!
Mal: What I got? She has a name.
Jayne: So does this. I call it Vera.
Mal: Well, my days of not takin' ya seriously are certainly comin' to a middle.

You found it! I was wondering what episode that came from! And yes, that's how I think of her as well

I know that show inside and out. One of the best ever and infinitely quotable in my household.

love the gun....how do you like the beta mag? ive seen the KCI(?) knock offs for like $130-150. i think they look mean as anything, but do they actually function?

very nice! two questions though.

1) why an acog on a CQB type of rifle? wouldnt an eotech or aimpoint suit it better?

2) when's the registered lower coming to join the fun, those beta mags BEG for FA

very nice setup!

I haven't had a problem with mine so far. Honestly I use the magpuls more often because the Beta's heavy and I'm small so holding it gets to be a pain.

I did change the setup recently. I took off the crimson trace grip (now for sale) and put on a bipod, which I couldn't do before. I have a separate laser with a pressure switch on a standard vertical front grip and I'm waiting for a flashlight to come. Probably the SureFire G2 with the tailcap button switch.

With the bipod now I can use the Beta more often without the fatigue factor. No real feed problems. I think the stories of that comes from using steel-cased ammo or a general lack of maintenance (you have to lubricate it with graphite occasionally).

1) Well, the TA31DOC has the red dot reflex site on top of the scope above the eyepiece (the cover's over it in the pictures), which pretty much functions like an unmagnified EOTech. That's why I got the DOC model instead of the regular ACOG. I was really up in the air trying to choose between Aimpoint and Trijicon, but with the DOC site, I figure I have the best of both worlds, and I can always switch it to another rifle if I want.

2)ah, I wish I don't have the money for FA at the moment, but it's on my long term list. That, and once I start reloading my own ammo.

No worries, I'm kind of flattered. Careful though, she's pointy :-P

Pics of the new setup (described above) to come as soon as I get the new light source on it. EVEN GNARLIER.
