Mga Sir,

Meron po kayang nakakaalam ukol sa Baril na ito, Bul M5 Made In Israel any good reviews or bad reviews. Could you point me to a website where there's good review about this model.

Just curious.

Thanks.

try handgunreview.com

ogiebb · 10-12-2004, 16:24

its a very good platform for any kind of competition gun..actually i prefer it than a para ord..much easier to tinker with

paltik45 · 10-12-2004, 17:38

Yup its a good buy but try to avoid getting it from Shooters Arms Phil. Trust trade I guess is a good place to start. Several months ago a guy from Bul-M5 (Israel) posted a video clip of his FULL-AUTO Bul m5 1911. It was realy cool but I cant remember where I saw it. I think they also sponsored a shooting team in the Phil. during the Worldshoot held in Cebu.

It is an excellent gun for the money, With the 2nd generation BUL M5 with the Bull barel it is even beter. I have been using the Bul IPSC .40 since 99 and have no problems with it. It is a light gun (the firsty generation BULs) so it lighter. You have to contend with littl bit more flip. I am Using 200 grainers on mine as it is a little softer to shoot. The video clip is located at www.bultranmark.com. Saul Kirsh is using the BUL with alot of success. Send him an e-mail if you want details and he will be happy to provide you with detail. Also contact Hayim Funes at www.bultrasmark.com if you have any specifics.

A friend of mine has one. Quite accurate. Double-stack but the grip is not wide. Not all-metal (the grip is plastic), so yes,rather light, more muzzle flip.

Good gun.

julianz · 10-13-2004, 04:27

i manage to fire this nice pistol , not that wide for small hands and accurate aswell. This pistol is famous and used by European champs like Saul Kirsch , Hayim Funes, Stephan cortinier and Marcel Van Laar.

At one time Nilampaso ni Saul Kirsch Si Erick Grauffel of France who uses a Tanfoglio.

and this pistol coming from a country who is always at war with its neighbor, im pretty sure its accurate just like the jerichos, Uzi, Galil to mention a few.

Link to their website is www.bultransmark.com

bulm540 · 10-13-2004, 06:33

The grip can be textured or shaped which is a plus. The grip is alittl blocky but with a dremel and a 600 grit sandpaper I reshaped the grip and it fits my hand better now.

charlie-xray · 10-13-2004, 15:00

Thanks Gents, I am really getting or say falling in-love with the Bul M5 Ultra X, would consider getting the .45 or 9mm. On a side by side comparison for a beginner will it be better to start with a large caliber?

Thanks a lot.

bulm540 · 10-13-2004, 17:36

A .40 I would recommend

ogiebb · 10-13-2004, 17:57

.40 is the shiznit.good for carry good for matches..;f

mcg-doc · 10-15-2004, 20:04

What mags does the second generation Bul M-5 takes?

paltik45 · 10-15-2004, 21:56

Before they released the second generation Bul-M5 they said it will take a Para-ord mags.

bulm540 · 10-16-2004, 07:25

2nd generation Bul would take would still take BUL mags, para mags SV and STI mags. You have to change mag catches if you are going to use para mags. Mine takes para, STI and SV mags without problems using a para mag catch. If you can buy the orignal BUL mags I would go with them.

bulm540 · 10-16-2004, 07:29

Here's another mod I did mine, BUL guns will take STI triggers. You just have to fit it. You have to file the top and bottom of the trigger body so it with fit the frame. You don't have to do anything with the trigger as it would fit the gun without mods.

charlie-xray · 10-25-2004, 04:24

Mga Sir,

Meron po kaya sa inyong nakaka-alam kung saan ako makakabili nitong model na ito at sana po may idea kayo sa price para mapaghandaan ko yung pera. At saka sana hindi taboo itong tanong ko na kung maari bang ma-process at ma-release yung aking permit to own ng less than a months processing as in mga maximum 2 weeks time at magkano kaya idag-dag ko kasi. Kasi medyo gipit ako sa panahon at sobra hectic ng duties ko off-shore at walang panahon.

Salamat.

Shooters Arms Manufacturing in Cubao (already mentioned)
Trust Trade in Pasig/QC (Robinson's Galleria)
Does WSC carry BUL, deenoh?
Does P.B.Dionisio offer the BUL Transmark lines?

Best to call up now and find out if they can do it in such a short time. You have to prepare a lot of documentation.

Theoretically...
Maybe someone here (a family member) can make a downpayment on a unit NOW, then FedEx the application forms to you for filling out, thumbprinting and signing. You then FedEx the papers back and your application can get moving even before you get here. If it's possible, then maybe (just maybe) that buys enough time.

You see...
While I don't advocate it, many buyers pay for the gun safety seminar, neuro-psychiatric and drug tests and then don't even show up ("non-appearance" processing) --thus, if you think about it, they technically didn't even need to be in the country... is that legal?

In any case, there'd be a fair amount of documentation you'd need to prepare, and quick:
-2x2 ID photos signed
-1x1 ID photos
-Employment Certificate (or PRC ID for Professionals)
-ITR and Withholding Tax Cert., of applicable
-Police Clearance
-Court Clearance
-Clearance from the Office of the Mayor
-Directorate of Intelligence Clearance

-Gun Safety Seminar Certificate
-Neuro-Psychiatric Test Certificate
-Drug test Clearance

Gun Club Membership for Pistols .45 cal and up
I had thought this wasn't true, but it turns out to be a de facto caliber-dictated requirement of the FED. Gun Club Membership means more filled-out and signed application forms, more ID photos, etc. However, many gun stores also offer to take care of al that for you --and some of them even have their own ranges/clubs to promote.

You need to find out if the 'theoretical' I've laid out is even near the realm of the 'real', let alone the legal and proper.

October's almost gone, and if I were to put money down, here and now, on a unit that is confirmed sitting pretty in the FED warehouse, I'm still not sure I could get it by December. If you're really serious about this, you need to be on it NOW.

Good luck.

Kinda curious about your comment about Shooter Arms. This is actually the second time somebody told me the same thing - recently. Any negative experience about this shop? FYI, they are selling Para Ord P14 SS Limited with Power Extractor at P76K last time I was there a few weeks ago. Any input is pretty much appreciated... ;Q ;Q

I purchased my gun last december from Ultra Systems. My brother-in-law fed-exed me all the papers to fill up and I mailed them back to him with the requirements (pictures, biodata). By the time I got home my gun was already with my bayaw. Everything can be processed in 2 weeks time (mine was faster). The only problem is can the gunstore produce your gun in 2 weeks? My license was released in 2 days

but my gun came out after 2 weeks!...that, after FED people started scolding Ultra people for not producing the item. What's more, the gun was not even in the inventory list of FED....you make your own conclusions why this is so.

There are several things that you should look into when buying your Bul-M5 at Shooters (this was based on my actual experience with them way back in 1996). First their uppers (slide, barrel,FP, etc.) are made in Cebu and the only original Bul-m5 part is the frame. Second their customer service sucks. It took me three months to get my PALTIK HYBRID from them. Third, since they've been using danao parts I had to replace my firing pin( napulpol) firing pin stop (nag-crack). Finaly if I am going to pay that much money I'd rather get my money's worth.

Goodness, can they do that?! Do they tell you off the bat that their slide, barrel, etc. are from Cebu? Or did they try to pass the thing as 100% Bul?

I've always felt off whenever I talk to their people at Gunshows. Most of the time, they don't know what they're talking about.

Paltik/Alexei:

Scary stuff! Considering you pay outrageously expensive prices for an "Original" then you are given a chopsuey of a gun...

Did they make amends when you discovered the fraud?;P

charlie-xray · 10-26-2004, 11:52

Any comments on this kind of fraud happening at Hahn Store in Park Square Makati

Katakot pala, papaano ko ba masu-sure na tunay lahat ng parts na mabibili ko.
