I recently got a Yugoslavian M24/47 Mauser and the bolt is buttery smooth, but only when the safety is in the middle (vertical) position. When I flip the safety to the fire position the bolt becomes very hard to operate (worse than my Mosin). If I dry fire the rifle the bolt is almost impossible...

I'm getting a Mauser in the very near future and was wondering about the difference between Czechoslovakian and Yugoslavian Mausers. The ones in question are a Czechoslovakian late war "winter trigger guard" M98k or a Yugo M24/47. Yugo M24/47 https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-M24-47.html Czech...

I just built an AR15 and the only thing I'm missing is a rear sight. It would be a primary sight, not a back up so I would like it to have windage and elevation adjustments, and hopefully not be too expensive. Anyone have any experience with a good rear sight with windage and elevation? I was...

I'm in NY and building an AR and am looking for 1 or 2 pre-94, 20 or 30 round mags. (For those who don't know, a mirror of the old federal ABW is still in effect here and all >10 round mags must be pre 1994) :mad: Theres a gun show in about a month near me, about how much would they cost there...

If I have a flat-top receiver AR-15 with an A2 front sight base will I be able to zero the rifle? As I understand it the A2 FSB is .040 inches shorter than an F marker FSB which might cause problems zeroing. Anybody have any experience with this?

I have been dreaming about a "evil black rifle" in my future and I saw a converted Saiga for $500 on Classic Arms. http://classicfirearms.com/semi-auto%20rifles.htm (scroll down a little bit) $500 seems pretty reasonable considering I'm to chicken to do a conversion my self. Anybody have...

I live in NY (state not city) and I'm starting to look at ARs. I need one that will be compliant with the NY AWB which allows only 1 "evil feature" :banghead: . Obviously I need a grip so no collapsing stock, muzzle accessories unless they're fixed, no 30 rounds mags, all that stupid political...

I recently got a 1953 M44 and I've been having a few problems with it. When I engage the safety and than take it off the rifle will not fire without operating the bolt again. My 91/30 does not have this problem at all. The other problem is sometimes the bolt will have extreme difficulty closing...

NY state still has a state level of the federal 1994 so called "Assault weapons ban". My question is, is there any hope of repealing this? Sooner preferably then later. Only a few other states still have a similar law in place so what happened? When the federal ban expired did the other states...

I'm looking at M44s and was wondering what, if any difference there is between different countries of manufacture, mainly Russian and Polish. Is there a big difference if any in accuracy, fit & finish, etc. I had a good deal on a Polish 1953 but someone else bought it right before I was going to...

I am still somewhat new to shooting and have a scope on one rifle and irons on another. From prone I shoot 2 inch groups at 50 yards with my marlin 795 open sights. (The sights are pretty bad IMO) With my Savage mark 2 I can shoot 1 hole at 50 yards with a cheapish Tasco 3-9. My question is...

I have a Mosin Nagant 91/30 and love it. I have looked around for a replacement stock that I could just swap out and still have the option of putting the original stock back on, as to not degrade the history or value of the rifle. I have seen lots of sporter stocks that look like modern hunting...

I recently got a Mosin Nagant 1942 Ishevsk M91/30 and I was wondering what the pros and cons of refinishing it are. Before I got it I was planning on refinishing it but now that I have it the stock doesn't look all that terrible and I was wondering if it would ruin the historical value to...

I was thinking, and it occurred to me that all weapons fielded by militaries around the world are full auto and have been for some time. Does this mean that the milsurps that are around today are the last milsurps that will ever be available for purchase in the civilian market barring some...

I am wondering about what is possibly a fine line legally considering a C&R License and "straw purchases". Both my Dad and I are history buffs but I am definitely more into historical firearms than he is. My question is if I convinced my dad to get a C&R License would it be considered a straw...

I live around Albany NY and was wondering if anyone can recommend some gun stores in the area. I used google maps to find some but I was wondering if anyone had personal experience with any. In particular I am looking for something that has military surplus or C&R like old Mausers and Mosins...

My grandfather was quite the marksman and some time ago he gave my dad his Remington model 12. My dad and I were looking at it and trying to figure out the model type and when it was made. Sadly my grandfather is no longer with us so we can't ask him and the guides I found on the internet seemed...

I was wondering about the legalities of shooting indoors. I saw a .22 bullet trap for just under $70 on Midwayusa.com and I have a very large basement that I think would work great for shooting .22. Is this legal? (Im in New York outside of Albany). Thanks

My dad recently got his pistol permit and I am urging him to get a handgun for home defense. This is just theoretical but what handgun caliber would be the quietest and least likely to cause hearing damage or loss if it was fired inside without hearing protection (excluding .22). I know noise is...

I am 16 and a new shooter looking for a cheap rifle with cheap ammunition to learn the fundamentals of shooting, safety and maintenance. I consider myself somewhat "booksmart" about firearms but because of my age I have not yet owned a firearm or had extensive trigger time. It would be with...
