    I don't completely understand the need for collapsible stocks

    There are collapsible stock options for shotguns. It's usually the combat shotgun crowd that uses them, for the same reasons as rifles, including the 'cool' factor.

    I don't completely understand the need for collapsible stocks

    Dr Rob nailed it in Post# 41. Originally a way to make ARs more compact for storage, it was found to be advantageous for various sizes of shooters. As body armor became more common, shooters discovered that the compact stock positions permitted accurate shooting with the torso directly toward...

    Wasr 10/63 upgrade?

    I simply stated that my recent build WASR seems to be much improved over the one you had. :)

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    Lots of life left in that classic little blaster! :D

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    I keep thinking about a K-T Sub2000 in 9mm. For close urban dwelling, this should give adequate touch, without as much risk of punching neighbors.

    Wasr 10/63 upgrade?

    Tahuna, I posted on that 'other' thread, but for the readers here, I'll say that Century has gotten squared away, and the WASR I bought just a few weeks ago is FAR better than the clunkers they used to put out, and that you got stuck with. I am quite satisfied with the WASR and there are a...

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    Guys, there are places where guns have been seriously messed up in evidence lockers, case numbers engraved with electric pens, left to rust, etc. Hopefully that will never happen to your firearm, but still a weapon of little personal value is the best to use, if THAT event occurs. My...

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    "If it saves the lives of myself and my family, I could not care less if it sat in evidence til the universe collapses upon itself. It did it's job, and I won't miss it, or any other gun that the cops hold. I'm sure I'd miss my wife and kids much more than any of my guns."--USAF Vet I cannot...

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    Another question is: What weapon would you be willing to have placed into the tender, caring hands of an evidence technician? A BIG point against my M1 carbine for HD.

    Aside from the AR or AK, what is your favorite home defense carbine

    Another SU16C. I have an M1 carbine, but pricy ammo limits practice. My new WASR 10 is starting to look mighty good...

    Wasr 10/63 upgrade?

    I dealt with my AKitis with a WASR. I was looking for a budget AK, and the WASR 10 at the shop seemed the best one in the price range. Sights straight, fit, finish, rivets, etc looked good, so it went home with me. I checked the mags, and they are a good fit, just enough looseness to ensure...

    AK Choices Help

    From my poking around on the Internet, it seems that CAI got their act together in '08 and the WASRs really improved. I just bought one at a LGS, and it is right & tight-- the magwell has just enough looseness to easily insert and remove magazines, and out of the box, I was ringing a steel...

    AK SLR 107-31 or Sam7 UF-85?

    Check YouTube; there are bunches of video reviews of just about every AK make out there. Personally, I was looking for a budget AK, and picked up a WASR for a little over $600. It's right, tight* and almost dead on from the box: at 100yd, about 1/2 front sight post to the right, and I was...

    Extinction of the AR-15 A2 variant?

    Waaay back when the AR concept was first being developed, the very early rifles had a reciprocating charging handle centered in the top of the receiver, where it could be operated with either hand. The 'carry handle' was actually to protect the charging handle as well as to place the sights in...

    CCW Holder Wrestled to the Ground at Walmart

    My takeaway as a 59 y/o: Stay in the best shape you can, and pick up some basic self-defense moves, AND of course, look around!
