Nice collection, I like the PS90. I've used the Mauri Airsoft version (stop laughing - its the only comparison I can make) and its such an oddly comfortable gun to use. I'm useless with my left hand and yet I managed to shoulder it on both sides with equal comfort, the version I used also had a reflex sight in the handle (is that standard?); incredible - or at least very clever - bit of design there. Given the strict gun laws here in the UK though thats as close as I'm going to get to firing a real one I think!
The long barrel on the PS90 is just for the civilian issued firearms, isn't it?

Exactly,. I could get the P-90 barrel but it would require me to get a special license from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms. Cost about $200 and then they would have to engrave the license # onto the receiver. Besides, with the longer barrel, you get better ballistic performance out of the bullet that's being fired, ie: greater bullet velocity.
The Tokyo Mauri airsoft replica is the top of the line of the P-90 guns. Matter of fact, when the cast and crew of the Stargate TV shows have a scene when they just carry around the weapon and not fire it, they use the same gun that you have. When there is a live firing scene involved, they switch to the real P-90's.
The standard P-90's and PS-90's have that standard tactical sight. Early models like the one that I have use the white reticule, the later model, called the USSS (U.S. Secret Service) sight has the black reticule. Most people prefer the black sight because it does not wash out when you have the sight pointed at a very bright background.
There are also other models of the guns that do not have the sight. Called the Tri-Rail, it has a picatinney rail on top so you can mount whatever optic you want.
I am having problems adding more pictures. Will try again later

Here is the gun broken down, takes about 30 seconds to field strip.
Trigger pack as it's released from the rear buttstock.
Trigger Pack. No oiling necessary, just wipe down with a damp cloth.
Breech assembly. Just a drop of oil in key places and it's good to go.
Picture of the bare stock, now just a polymer plastic 'toy'

Why don't lose that Hitler quote and the use of "kompressor" in your signature? It makes you look like a South Carolina neo-Nazi skinhead.
I hate South Carolina neo-Nazi skinheads. So did my mother. She was a Catholic holocaust survivor of Auschwitz.

Did you ever consider the quote might not be to glamourize hitler but to remind people that the current tactics employed by the wests current radical enemies are just the same as those used by hitler in the build up to WWII???

I will delete the quote out of respect. But I will keep the Kompressor in my signature.
I found it rather odd that Hitler had that kind of view for that is what kind of war we are fighting today. And you do not know me and could care less what other people on this forum think about me, generally. If that is what you think, so be it. Do a search on my past posts, then you will get to know me better.

At best, the quote was in extremely poor taste.

No it wasn't. For to know the enemies of today is to understand the thinking of the enemies of the past. Ask anyone who has attended War College.

Adolf Hitler was "man of the year" and Time even said they considered making him "man of the century" Where was the backlash for the former?
Move along, and back on topic.
Do you have any long range guns Fox?

No, not at this time. In a few days I'm getting that FS2000. That was expensive. No more guns for a while. Next year I will probably get a nice, inexpensive bolt action rifle.

I don't have one myself either, however a friend has a beautiful 308 carbine bolt action that we took to the range and were still hitting the target at 1000 yards... gradually working up from 300 yards.
That thing hurt more then a 12 guage to shoot. Awesome gun.
