    1891 Argentine Mauser bolt hard to close.

    You say you're running reloads in it. Have you tried closing the bolt on a factory 7.65 round for comparison sake just to eliminate the possibility of ammo causing your stiff bolt?

    Colt Trooper MKIII opinions?

    I picked this Trooper up last year for just under $800. Came with the factory box, which had seen far better days, but I think I was the first person to ever fire it. 1976 according to Colt. I wouldn't be scared of picking it up if you're comfortable with the price and want it. Mine shoots...

    The civilian PDW and my Sig MPX Copperhead

    Sounds like you got a screaming deal and came out with the best option for a PDW. I'm jealous, that's a fine looking set up.

    Would you Colt 1917?

    I tried moonclips and ditched them fast. I scrounged up 45 Auto Rim brass and enjoy enjoy the loading/unloading process more for shooting in the backyard. If that was my service weapon, though, I would quickly see the value in moon and halfmoon clips.

    Walked into a Gun Shop Friday and saw this... AUG Clone MSAR

    I have a MSAR flat top that I bought about 10 years ago off someone who worked at Wolff Springs. The rifle has been 100% reliable, but I believe he said he installed all their kits into it. For well less than $1,000 I got the rifle and about 20 AUG mags for it. It's fun, it's different, I...

    Too many Guns?

    If a dealer said that to me I would likely never return.

    Aimpoint pro

    Dollar spent to optic gained, the ACO is the way to go. My personal opinion is the things you gain with the PRO are nice to haves but not need to haves. I would argue the OP should dip his toes into the red dot world with the exceptionally affordable ACO, which he may never need to upgrade...

    Aimpoint pro

    https://aimpoint.us/aimpoint-carbine-optic-aco-red-dot-reflex-sight-with-mount-2-moa-200174/ This is a pretty darn affordable option for a real Aimpoint. Granted $350 is a lot of money, but this is arguably better than any Sig Romeo or Holosun. Caveat, I have a couple Sig Romeos as filler...

    Aimpoint pro

    If he gets a cheap specimen that doesn't hold zero he may not fully get to understand how they work either.

    Aimpoint pro

    DustGmt gave you a pretty good run down. The very first versions of these that came out didn't have clear glass to look through, believe it or not. Like was mentioned earlier, these are designed to be fired with both eyes open for quick target acquisition and precise fire. Zero the dot and...

    Aimpoint pro

    The Aimpoint Pro will work fine out of the box with an A2 front sight on your rifle. Once you zero the parallax free sight you won't even see the front sight post. Remember that the Aimpoint is a single focal plane sight, don't try to "lollipop" the front sight post with it or you will negate...

    Ian McCollum's Newest Book "Small Arms of WWII" is shipping

    I got my copy in the mail last week. It sits on my desk beckoning to me... urging me to ignore other requirements that are taking my time and spend a just a few moments turning the glossy pages. I'm excited to add his book to my library. One can never have too many high quality reference...

    PSA: Don't try to hide bullets.

    I wonder if this was placed loose in his baggage, instead of in the thermos of coffee, would it have been discovered? I have found loose loaded rounds in my bag after a trip from back in my days when my range bag pulled double duty.

    CMP 1911 Round 4

    I got a Service Grade in round 3 that I was happy with. I'm on the list of round 4 and curious what will be available - I'm sitting at 44,052. I think they are currently in the mid 42K range as far as shipping. @d31tc If you keep your ears open I am sure you can get into the future round 5...
