    You've Come a Long Way, Baby...

    A short video with a famous Navy SEAL involved in an extremely-complex and tragic rescue/extraction carried his AR, and mistakenly swept it towards the person holding the camera making the video. Whether people have numerous back surgeries or not, it happens.

    What did you shoot today?

    Imbel FAL. Just 20 rounds from a rural bridge into a jug on the bank (100 yards), just to sample my first Delinked/ De-belted FN 7,62x51 ammo in a semi-auto rifle. It is stamped "77", feeds, extracts, ejects normally, and hits wherever I manage to aim.

    Gunbroker seller not responding

    My previous glitch was Not via Gunbroker. I waited three weeks for a seller (on Gunboards) to send me some Brit. .303 ammo, after he had slipped on ice in February and was injured. There was no message from him. I didn't even contact him until about two weeks after he received my money order...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Not yet. Today I sold 1,100 rds. of 7.62x39--in person, to have the cash for some more 'reserve' .308.

    How much ammo do you have in your favorite caliber?

    As my favorite has switched in early 2023 from 7,62x39 to .308....About four years ago I had over 10,000 rds. of 7.62x39. I don't give a d**n who knows about it. It Is Legal. There are no "black helicopters" (X-Files) coming to check on our ammo🤪.... Have over 1,500 steel-cased .308 for the...

    What is going on with guns

    So be it. Lawyer-speak. If I decide to sell a personal gun, once a year, in a parking lot or at a gun club, I’m not gonna let such election year publicity/pandering by desperate 🥦Broccoli Joe’s Handlers stop me. Most people will do as they always have done. Why spend time thinking too much…...

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    Quite frankly, what is strange (to me) is that apparently the vast majority of gun owners seem to give a blank stare when I mention Mosins, Enfields, even G3/HK/PTR-91s, FALs....or M-14/M1A, or simply haven't ever handled any of these. They mostly are pretty confused about where the safeties...

    Ruger Mini Thirty. On the fence.

    If the Factory triggers have been improved since my 2006 Mini 30, then maybe so.

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    There was a very attractive Finnish Mosin at a pawn shop about ten years ago. I don’t remember checking the bore, but such appealing rifles, and the wood might be nice Arctic birch ?

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Minutes ago .308 / "7,62x51" from a company owned by former Navy Seals: Canoe Club USA (in NV). The ammo is new production Brass-Cased, from a NATO country: Lithuania. The primers have a colored sealant and a "cross" is stamped on the case heads...

    I have a strange fascination with Milsurps...

    Foreign gun? My third imported FAL is shipping, and maybe it will arrive......tracking is mostly useless with USPS. Zero info Since April 26. It's now almost a week Late....I suspect that the rifle was stolen........:scrutiny: Miami JBT: you also seem to prefer rifles with character. I had...

    Gunbroker with A+ and only 1 sale

    No. Not a seller with less than 30 sales. And I’ve bought at least six guns from Gunbroker, from six Different sellers, both private (non-FFL) and retail FFL.

    Less then a buck recoil pad.

    For my pair of Enfield no. 5 “Jungle Carbines”, I sometimes raised the left arm into a “Chicken wing”. I didn’t care what anybody thought. It negated the desire for any pad. And almost no “Real Men” 😁 wanted to shoot an Enfield no. 5.

    Well, It Was a Good (enough) Day at the FW Gun Show

    AlexanderA: But how can you visit old (gunshow) friends by reading Gunbroker?

    7.62x39 v. 7.62x51 short range wounding differences

    My brother-in-law has a former buddy who owns a horse farm on or very near the Arizona border. The guy has seen a truck(s) belonging to drug gangs parked on his land, quite far from his house. He’s certainly not stupid enough to approach or confront them. We have no idea which guns the...

    Help me understand... a 10lb rifle 'worth' it's weight in gold?

    No way- not for a gun . And the news about who buys it would leak out to professional burglars. But for a much younger guy than I, maybe a Trophy Wife could be found for that price.👩‍🦰 Someone resembling a Charlize Theron.

    7.62x39 v. 7.62x51 short range wounding differences

    Didn’t famed sniper Carlos Hatchcock recently die? His comparison might have been interesting as he might have been very familiar with the AKM’s lethality - not just injuries caused by his M-14.

    What is going on with guns

    Elkins45: Plenty of US gun owners seem to be afraid of their own shadows. They already seem to have capitulated in the psychological “war”. 88 million gun owners, with so many now apparently afraid to sell a few personal guns- and usually without any profit. The vast majority of private...

    What is going on with guns

    The supposedly new “law” will Not even Apply…for a few more months. Despite pages of vague wording, an Exception Seems to Allow you to sell guns from a private collection, or you can also sell the entire collection—-without needing to be an FFL. I read this paragraph, but not the entire...

    Finally in the club!

    JEBruns: Congrats. And now at least you might have a place to better make use of any trip to the Wannemacher Show in Tulsa? You've probably been much more than I have (just once). Whatever the situation, you certainly have a shorter drive than we do on the eastern edge of the Memphis area.
