I recently got one of the newly imported Zastava M77 PAP in .308. I believe this is their new "Battleworn" model. There isn't much info out there on these yet. It came equipped with a slant-brake and a set of nice beech furniture modeled after the famous M76 furniture. The slant brake was...

Did you ever see the EXACTO project that DARPA was doing years back? They managed to make guided .50cal bullets somehow. If I recall correctly it was a deformable rubber nose on the bullet that enabled a degree of steering.

So police can force you to speak or give up information so long as it doesn't pertain to a criminal case implicating you? That doesn't seem accurate. From what I understand, you can invoke the right to remain silent at any time regardless of circumstances, notwithstanding things like providing...

So I was thinking about SC's "duty to inform" statute. When stopped by police and you are carrying a firearm pursuant to state law and while in possession of a CCW permit, you must inform the officer of your armed status. How does that jive with an individual's 5th Amendment right to remain...

Reposting this from the ROMAK 3 / PSL Rifle Fan and Owner's Group on Facebook. So I have been meaning to post this big bastard for a while but am just now getting around to it. My wife bought me a scope for my PSL as a christmas gift, and I couldnt be happier. It is a PSO-3 Venezuela that she...

Extractor tension feels fine, feed ramp looks good. Ill check the bottom bevel.

I have a Wilson Combat bushing compensator on my Springfield MC Operator 1911. On occasion, when shooting remanufactured ammo, I will have a slight failure to go into battery that requires a quick bump to the rear of the slide. I have not had this issue in the past. It is rare but still has me...

I have been trying to get my AK to group. Removing the cleaning rod and slant cut muzzle brake tighten the groups considerably, but my best is still 3"x2" at 50m from a sandbag, using both irons and a red dot. Groups slightly better with the red dot. I was using Tulammo. I have no issues from...

Okay excellent, thank you. Is "fixed ammunition" further defined? Or is there case law supporting it?

So it is my understanding that certain weapons that meet the "antique firearms" definition in the NFA are exempt from regulation, if they utilize one of the categories of primitive ignition systems, no fixed cartridges, and were manufactured before 1898 or a replica thereof. This is why we can...

Picked up this lovely No.4 MK1 today, rifling is very crisp and sharp, although the crown could use work. It's got a reproduction No.34 MK1 scope, repro cheek rest, with likewise mount. The rear sight is missing so I ordered one. Price tag was $399.

Is this a fair price? Condition seemed like new.

I purchased a sword from them (1060 line) quite some time ago. They are on the beefy side, thick and without much finesse compared to others in the price range. Their monotemper (whivh your damascus will have) is very tough. I have cut targets way more difficult than i should have with a sword...

Can we just repeal the NFA already...? This is getting ridiculous.

If you don't mind a little post-WW2, I'm a big fan of the Egyptian Hakim rifles in 8mm, and they can be had for around $500.
