Bohemus, I don't care much for the supercompact, but the compact is sure pretty.

My muzzle brake was permanently attached by WaffenWerks (who apparently also replaced the front sight to include a bayonet lug) so I don't know how hard it would be to do the job oneself. I haven't had a chance to shoot my new VZ58 yet, so I can't remark on the muzzle flash impact. I...

Pictures for my membership My D-Technik VZ58 from WaffenWerks. I figure that she's elegant enough for a picture with my wife's great-grandmother's hand-embroidered piano bench.

Can I join the club? I just purchased a D-Technik VZ-58 through Waffen Werks. I'll post pictures after I get a chance to take some and upload them.

Thanks for this information. I appreciate it.

Apparently hollow points are the way to go if a person desires to use the M1 Carbine as a home defense firearm. Effective results while a good way to avoid overpenetration issues.

Hey Maverick223, The .30 M1 Carbine never had issues penetrating thick clothing, nor thick and frozen clothing. Not in Korea nor before. If someone told you that, chances are they simply couldn't hit what they were aiming at. ;) http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot36.htm

I've noticed that several posters mentioned smiling as something not to do. Why should a person avoid smiling? Is it considered rude in European countries? I lived in Venezuela for 23 months. Spent most of my time in middle to lower class neighborhoods, and in some cases in absolute slums...

I too would recommend saving up for the Marlin model 39 if possible.

A while back I purchased an AK buttstock that had been sprayed with bedliner. It does have a little texture but nothing rough at all. I actually like how it turned out. My guess is that the type of bedliner you spray on the stock makes a difference in how rough it is.

I live in Spanish Fork, several miles south of Orem I posted about this in the other thread about attacking pitbulls, but in summary I almost had the same experience, except that in my case the 1/2 pitbull mix went after my little girls first, and then decided to take me on when I got in its...

I was recently subpeonaed to testify against a dog owner in my neighborhood. She had a half pitbull, half foxterrier mix. Yes, I know that it really was half pit. I know the owners of the dogs that bred this one. This particular dog owner has a habit of leaving her dogs out front...

One time at a local emergency preparedness store they asked for photo ID when I gave them my credit card. I reached into my wallet to pull out my drivers license and accidently grabbed the concealed carry license (the color markings are similar). I didn't even realize that I'd handed her the...

I've a strong hunch that at least 90% of these "fires started by bullets" stories are actually fires started by smokers or fires started because somebody was playing with fireworks. Sherriff Tracy tried starting a fire shooting all sorts of .223, .308, and 7.62x39 rounds into boxes full of...

Interestingly, the actual sniper Zaitsev the movie is based on actually did have a female sniper love interest. She is credited with killing a number of Germans. She referred to Germans as "sticks" that needed to be broken. In real life she was also blond. When Zaitsev himself was injured...
