    Comparison 7.62x39 vs. 30-30

    I'll use my Sks or Ak with a 2x7 scope on it as a backup while hunting with 154gr soft points if my 3006 is down. The deer here are black tail, so they don't have to have the biggest baddest bullet to take em down. It's those darn coastal brown bears that give us grief up here in Alaska :p

    Radical Firearms Uppers

    Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone here owns or has had any experiences with this company. I have used googlefu and found a little info, but not as much as i would like before pulling the trigger on one of their uppers. I have heard that their 458 socom uppers are reverse engineered and...

    Where to buy the GOOD sks stripper clips?

    Oh they have gun shows up here...just not in Juneau :banghead: Have not seen/heard of a gunshow in the 7 years ive been here. I dont know about you guys, but i would find it hard to convince the missus to spend 450ish on a round trip ticket to anchorage plus lodging on the hopes of getting...

    SKS -- worth it?

    You can take the bolt and put it in mineral spirits and soak for a day or two, then put into a pot of water and boil it and that will clean the rest of the cosmoline out. Ive done this to every SKS ive owned and it works great and ive never had any problems. I feel bad for people that say the...

    Where to buy the GOOD sks stripper clips?

    So up here in Alaska it is VERY hard to order ammo. Because we do not have UPS ground everything needs to be flown up here and no one wants to fly with hazmat stuff. That means to buy ammo online i have to order it, have it shipped to a shipping company in washington, then set up/pay for it to...

    Where to buy the GOOD sks stripper clips?

    I have had almost completely all bad experiences with stripper clips for the SKS. Thought it was me but recently purchased an sks that came with some stripper clips that work smooth as butter. They are almost like a high gloss finish while the ones that ive ordered online seem to be a duller...

    What kind of holster to use for a Beretta 948? I am having a hard time finding one

    I am in Alaska. There is a guy that makes kydex holsters up here but charges like 80$ for them and i have used him before but dont feel the quality is there to demand such a high price. I guess i might just be stuck with pocket carry :(

    What kind of holster to use for a Beretta 948? I am having a hard time finding one

    Cannot find a CCW holster for this pistol. Anyone here have one and use a particular holster for one? Love the concealability of this but do not want it just hanging out in a pocket. Thanks for your time

    Which of these scopes would you get?

    Oh Greyling22 you should be called Gremlin22 because you got me to spend an extra 70$ on a scope! I researched the mueller apv and have bought it on midway. Just noticed this but they dont offer free shipping to people in Alaska any more. There was a 10$ surcharge. Yuck! The reviews look good...

    Which of these scopes would you get?

    I just bought a Savage mk II with the threaded/fluted barrel and wanted a scope that i will use for plinking and target shooting. I am being a little cheap but figuring that its a .22lr i wont have to worry much about them breaking from recoil. Which of these scopes would you choose? I...

    What do you guys take for food on backpacking/hunting trips?

    I have been dehydrating my own food but that is definitely time consuming! Mountain house packs so far seem to be my #1 go to but at about 8 bucks a meal they are not nearly as inexpensive as my own made stuff. I do enjoy how light the meals are! For me Ounces count!
