Fn-Fal This was an Irsraeli LB clone I built. So beautiful and by far my favorite firearm to shoot.

My bets on the ammo. The smoke pouring out the back is a good indicator you had a primer pocket rupture. Hot ammo and a bent firing pin retainer= nothing holding the the firing pin from shooting back. If that were my gun and I wanted to be sure, I would get a 7.62x39 go/no go gauge set to...

Savage. It is highly upgradable with tons of aftermarket support in barrels, stocks, triggers, bases, and the likes. Savages are very frequently used as a base for precision rifles. In my opinion the best thing about them is their switch barrel capability. Have a 30-06, but you would...

It definitely will change, although how much is the question. My father in law and I often shoot together at the range. He and I both have POI changes when we shoot each others rifles, even moments after the other has sighted it in perfectly. I have noticed that whenever I shoot his rifles...

As you see most people are in one of two camps, love them or hate them. Seriously see if you find someone local that has one or a LGS to shoulder one. Me, I am in the camp that loves them. She isn't pretty, with some surplus wood, but I would not trade or sell ever my FAL. It would...

I am at a serious loss as to why a search would not find you anything. The Savage 110 platform is literally one of the top firearms in terms of aftermarket support. For any of the parts -except of course for the receiver- you can find anywhere from four or five manufacturers to at least a dozen...

Vladimir Putin, the man is one serious bad A## Although a lot of what he does is staged, he is an avid hunter and fisherman.

Good choice with the savage. For a scope try to find a used Nikon Prostaff 3-9, should run you about $100 used. You can find used ones on Ebay quite a bit. Its one amazing scope for the money and consistently gets mentioned as a top contender when people talk about sub $200 scopes. I have 3...

Couple more just for fun M72 I built Russian 9mm Vityaz SMG

Chinese clone I built using a Yugo barrel, mostly Bulgarian parts, Chinese FSB and stock set, plus various other countries for misc parts

Gotta love them Garands. Mine is a total mix-master: 1.1 million Springfield receiver, manufactured January of 1943. After the war she was sent over to the Danes, they re-barelled her with a VAR barrel, and eventually sent her back. Somewhere in transit or when the CMP got a hold if it...

If your ultimate goal is to have a Para, then go that route from the start. Converting a standard stock FAL will be more expensive than just buying the para from day one. But just know that due to the current political climate and fear of a potential ban, you will be paying through the nose...

Oh man, Wynn you are everywhere aren't you ;) On topic you gotta love them chinese spikers (or at least a reasonable facsimile of one) Be prepared to shell some serious $ for one if you are serious, like at least $1200 plus.

A replacement stock for the axis/edge would not be truthfully any harder to create than the existing savage style. The major difference is that the axis/edge has a built in recoil lug as part of the stock, whereas the 110/10/ stevens 200 has it as a part of the receiver. I believe...

+1 to getting CCI SV at Dicks. They sell the 500 round bricks for $25. Compare that to what most stores charge for 100 round packages ($7-8) and you will see how good a deal the bricks are from Dicks.
