Wasn't the name Shrike used for that belt fed AR that never made it to market?

Whats Shrike mean?

A shrike is a small family of birds of prey who impale their prey on thorns, or barbed wire, etc to kill it. There was once an air-attack naval squadron called VA-94 The Mighty Shrikes. They used to fly the A7E.

Shrikes are passerine birds of the family Laniidae. The family is composed of thirty one species in three genera. The family name, and that of the largest genus, Lanius, is derived from the Latin word for "butcher", and some shrikes were also known as "butcher birds" because of their feeding habits.

I love wiki! :-)

That is a terrific looking 1911!

You should try shooting one. I am a certified 1911 snob and I can truly say that these are some great works of art that are fun to shoot as well. 4 (soon to be 5) of my clients have ordered pistols from Predator this past year. Hard to beat the waiting time for delivery on these. The 9mm versions of these feel like a .22lr when you shoot it. Congrats to Matt, Scott, Lynn and the rest of the crew on these masterpieces. If you have thought of getting one, don't wait. Order one today.

love ours! such a smooth fast gun

Finally got my 9mm Shrike and LOVING IT!
The first 1500 rounds were so much fun. Shooting it in the first match tomorrow and can't wait.
This baby was worth the wait.

You know if you have shrikes, you will see grasshoppers and all kinds of different bugs attached to the barbs of the barbwire or thorns of a rose bush. I have only seen one in these parts, but definately an interesting bird.

[Bigdaddypop]
