we can keep using circular arguments about "people control" but as it stands we are not putting forth any arguments or proposals to help curb the issue. Should we "expand" the definition of who can or can't get a gun? No. But, should we be more proactive in identifying who those people are? And...
The NRA will donate more than enough to make up for his lack of funding.
But regardless, something needs to be done. We don't need another AWB aka "ban on 99% of all guns"; I definitely don't want it and will let my vote be known - regardless of party lines. But, a 21+ age rule on "assault...
I have two of the 17-round Khan mags for my G17.
They work fine. I've had zero problems with them. The only gripe is sometimes the molding seams inside the mag bodies is not properly sealed or smoothed, and the follower could potentially hang up on it. This is an easy fix, though: just take a...
Thanks for the knowledge drops, guys.
I cannot remember how 'good' the bore is so I'll have to check that out.
Another question: IIRC (because, sadly, I have not fired a single round myself through this gun), I believe the gas valve is stuck in the vertical/"open" position. I remember...
Hey all,
I've been contemplating dropping a Yugoslavian SKS off at the Trading Post to help temporarily dig myself out of a hole.
Everything on it is sound; the finish wear and the dings in the wood would make it what AIMsurplus would list as a "grade 2" rifle. In fact, its condition...
^ I've noticed that. Building mine was such a fun experience. Now, it looks like it isn't worth the inconvenience or patience to budget a mil-spec AR; they literally get tripped over by the employees at the shops around me.
It's ironic how a decent AR (something like a $600 Del-Ton or a...
Not too new. $120 would buy you a pretty much spotless, laminated, no-CB rifle. The ones I see now, some of which are mixed bag on the quality/condition perks, would have sold for $80-100 after shipping in "my day".
WASRs were only $319.99 and shot fairly straight back then, too... and Yugo...
Hey all,
I've been out of the gun community for awhile due to life and waning focus and passion for firearms. I came back to learn what I've missed out on, and the first thing I noticed, much to my dismay...
...Mosin Nagants are going for a good $180-200ish now! And hex-receiver variants are...
why not look into a 14.5" barrel with a permanently attached flash hider?
Less hassle that way, while keeping good velocity and still tad more compact. than the 16-inchers
+1 for buying quality parts.
also, know and understand what a quality part is or isn't.
A lot of people bash things that aren't "milspec" without understanding any of why or how strong the 'lesser' options are and how high-quality they still are.
here are mine:
1. have budget in...
you can find them on Atlantic Firearms for $500ish.
There is a list of speculative factors as to why they're hard to find and more expensive, ranging from changing laws, IZH's bankruptcy, ammo import restrictions, etc. and how all of this affects a market thriving on Romy/Yugo kit imports and...
it cuts weight and volume on the very bulky, accuracy-oriented hbar's so that the gun balances better and doesn't overheat.
a chrome-lined barrel is generally not of the sort of style or purpose that the fluted ones are, but as other said, they promote easier cleaning and make the barrel...
a different barrel length, different diameter buffer tube, etc. aren't the reason people harp on how great TDP-quality rifles are. Again, parts life.
Heat dissipation, bolt life, resilience to cracking or shearing, extraction consistency/ejection consistency during fast and rapid fire, and...
the features for mil-spec are what are important.
Some of them are just convenient. Some are only good depending on the ammo or purpose of the gun. Others are going to make a decent long-term effect on parts life. And some are just a good idea so your rifle doesn't get busted over something...
FN's weapons should be comparable to Colt, so if people have legitimate evidence to the contrary, then it is sad to see them pull this kind of nonsense.
It's not too expensive to make a mil-spec or mostly mil-spec rifle nowadays, given market saturation. If Del-Ton kits can offer what it...
I don't understand how Colt can own the TDP when that information is available publicly - much like the M4's design in general.
If FN's rifle isn't up to spec, my guess would be that they aren't using their usual parts and testing them accordingly.
to give you the best answer I could give you, it depends on what FNUSA's "chart specs" are.
MPI/HPT testing and shot-peening, along with a properly staked gas key, are usually necessary. Same with the barrel, along with knowing if the steel is MIL-E certified.
The Colts have been...
That's the going price?
Do you want it?
Well, all I'm gonna do is gloat about my '54 Tula arsenal refurb (black bayo) that I snagged for $250 five years back, and then tell you that it is the most beautiful specimen of SKS I've ever owned or touched. If you can do it, do it now. ARs are...
well, it's better to know what it takes to ruin a good weapon, because at least you know how long it works.
Every gun people try to put over the M4 lacks the luxury of longevity. It's easy to have a perfect gun when you never go to war with it.
I'm sure that a slight redesigning of the BCG...
