I use the military tech manual. The tech manual is a lot more practical to have on a work bench than a computer. Like Carbine85 said, you can get all the information you need from the internet and also learn a few things that aren't in the military manuals.

The Star 28, 30, and 31 all use the same magazines. Promag and Triple K also made magazines but they will probably need some modification before they work right. The model 59 magazines also fit but have no provision for deactivating the mag safety. You will need to disconnect the mag safety...

I don't know about a specific book but some of their pilots used Spanish made pistols. If I remember correctly, it was a Ruby design that carried about 20 rounds in the magazine.

It seems like I can never give an opinion without having to write a book to explain it to the people who misunderstand it and by the way I also had stocked up long before the panic. Stocked up or not I also despise the scalpers and will not give them one penny of my money. I also set a limit...

I don't disagree with what you are saying but I don't see how you disagree either. You stated the effect of the shortage while I stated the cause. The root cause of the ammo shortage and higher prices are the paranoid people who are so afraid of not getting ammo they buy all they can find. The...

You may not be able to see it but this is a bad trend for supporters of the second amendment. I can't see people who can't afford to own a gun caring much about a right to bear arms when it only means something to the wealthy. That may not be the case yet but as you stated, so far its heading...

I would be wary of a gun shop with people that talk like used car salesmen or delusional idiots. You can find 30 carbine here http://www.aimsurplus.com/catalog.aspx?groupid=86&name=.30cal+Carbine but you better hurry before the government gets it all.

The 97b is a great gun and very accurate. Its my favorite .45 pistol. I can hit soda cans at 50 yards fairly consistently with it. I found a two tone 97b RSR Special a few years ago when RSR had them on clearance for a unbelievably cheap price. I found it at a gun show brand new in the box...

I'm looking for a CZ Rami in 9mm also. The one with serial #A090625 that was stolen out of my truck last weekend. Call the Leon County Florida, Sheriff if you see it.

I've had problems with WWB failure to extract in a few of my pistols. They worked fine with any other ammo but only the WWB caused extraction problems. Although, in many of my pistols WWB wasn't a problem at all. On the pistols that did have an extraction problem I installed a stronger...

CZ75B Compact. My 75 compact is the first CZ I bought and it lead to many more CZ pistols, but my 75 compact is still my favorite.

Buying one would be cheaper than building one and you would have a working gun right away. Building does have its advantages though. You can build it and get a rifle with the features you want. Also, you can buy it piece by piece and not have to spend a lot all at once for a complete rifle.

A couple gun magazines did a review several months ago. One of them was Guns and Ammo magazine. They put out a 2013 special edition just on CZ firearms and featured the PO9 on the cover. A couple differences between the PO7 and 9 are a improved plastic formula and they are offering a...

The Sub 2000 is a lot of fun to shoot and well worth buying but there are a few things I don't like about it. Its hard to clean inside the receiver, there's no last shot bolt hold open, and the factory sights suck. I improved the sights on my rifle with a quick disconnect red dot sight and the...

I had a Firestorm .45 and put all kinds of ammo and brands through it but it refused to jam. I must have put about 1000 rounds through it. I trusted this gun enough to use it as my home defense gun. I ended up trading it and regreted it ever since. Its the only gun I ever got rid of and...
