So I had no plans to buy any new guns, but I was in a gun shop yesterday, and there was one lonely M1A scout on the wall, and I felt bad for it not getting picked up in all the EBR purchasing madness that's been going on. I've always liked M-14s, I was issued one in the Army for about 2 1/2...

I found this picture while googling to see if I could find anyone actually putting an M203 on an MP5 or if that was strictly hollywood. But now I'm curious to know what unit is running around in fuchsia berets. SFPD SWAT?

I just recently converted my Standard Imbel uppered Frankenfal to a Para, using all DSA parts. I fired it for the first time two days ago, and on the last round of the first Mag, the return spring guide broke in 3 or 4 places (I'm not sure exactly how many places because when I opened the...

I'm looking for 2 sets of grip panels 1) Double Diamond Checkered, flat bottomed, cocobolo 1911 grips with the cut for the mainspring housing pin and 2)checkered walnut grips without a thumbrest for a post '72 Ruger standard model. I would not have thought either of these would be hard to...

Probably a stupid question and maybe in the wrong forum too, but anyway: Can a hard chromed pistol ever be blued? Park'd? Not a fan of shiny pistols, but also having a hell of a time finding a Detonics Combat Master. If I get a hold of one that's not "black" is there a cost effective way...

Why does a Ruger Charger cost more than a 10/22. It's just a pistol sized 10/22 right? Why's it cost twice as much? If anything it should be cheaper.

I picked up a Ruger Standard Model .22 pistol at a pawn shop today. I have no idea what it's worth, but I paid $300 even. It was pretty much an impulse buy as soon as I realized it wasn't a Mk III. I don't have a working camera right now or I'd put up a picture. Can anybody give me any info...

I came across some surplus ammo I'd never seen before the other day. The gunshop guy said it was Serbian. It came in a green sealed pack, similar to the South African battle packs, but it was green instead of brown and held 200 rds. It has ".308 Winchester 145 grs 200 rds" stenciled in yellow on...

Has anyone used one? I heard there is a long wait if you order one, any truth behind that?

I found this, what is it?

How well does a pistol scope work on a scout rifle? Is it better to get a scope designed from the start as a scout scope or does a pistol scope work well enough? If the pistol scope is not ideal, what are the drawbacks?

I am well aware of all the advantages of FFP scopes, but what, if any are the drawbacks? I'd like to know of any potential issues before I buy my next scope. Currently looking at a Leupold LR/T 3.5-10 FFP.

I have a Lee Enfield No 4 Mk 1 and a 2A, both in various stages of butchery. I'm looking for good scout style mounts for both of them, and recommendations on scout scopes. Ideally I want 4x scopes with Bullet drop compensating reticles, but I don't know if anyone even makes that. Also, does...

So I got a new FN SPR. It has a chrome lined barrel, which I thought was wierd for the type of rifle it is, but whatever. However, should I still go though the trouble of breaking in the barrel?

Any problems likely to result from free floating a heavy barrel on a 10/22? Is the reciever sturdy enough?

Anything I should know about Armscorp ammo? Buying the cheapest available ammo always makes me nervous.

If I was going to turn my full size FAL into a Para, what all would I need to buy? I know I would need a new dust cover and bolt carrier, but what else? How much of the old lower could I put into a stripped Para lower?

Anyone know what's going on with the Kel-tec .308 bullpup that takes FAL mags and had like a 20 page thread dedicated to it 6 months ago that I can't seem to find now? The last thing I remember hearing was it would be available in early 2008. Well It's late(ish) 2007 and I'm still saving my...

Can anyone tell me what these are (besides 9mm)? They were taken from a Glock mag confiscated by one of the other squads in my platoon. I never got to see the glock, but they brought me the rounds to see if I knew anything about them. The rest of the rounds in the mag were just plain old...

So it's new rifle time, at least it will be around November, and I'm having lots of trouble making a final decision, so any advice/information/past experiences/suggestions or recomendations are welcome. I want a long range rifle, probably .308 because I can afford it and it won't wear barrels...
