It seems like most of the American Gun makers now have an AR-15 Style rifle/carbine. Anyone own or shot for evaluation purposes say the S&W and/or Remington versions? How about 'after-market' M-16/AR-15 magazines for said guns? Also, kinda wondering if Ruger or even Hi-point will make...

A short note for those of us that buy this ammo in small packages... My local Dunhams Sporting Goods has the mid-60's Czech "Silvertip" for 5.99/box of 20. Looks to be in much better shape than the paper-wrapped Albanian stuff of late-80's vintage It is packed in a sort of blue-grey box...

Just got this in from my CNN breaking news alerts: -- Informant in Iraq admits information about a terror plot against New York subway was a hoax, sources tell CNN. Details soon. *** Hmmmm..... Wonder if the Bad Guys are doing a sort of "probe" thing, to find out how The.Guv would...

Question for those of you knowledgeable about the Enfield Rifles... Some of the MK4's were made by Savage, and are now being re-imported and sold. I looked at a couple of them over the weekend, but I couldn't find the "US Property" markings. Does anyone have a pic of the Savage-made "US...

Just got breaking news alerts from both CBS & CNN that Hurricane Rita flood waters are flowing into New Orleans over one of the repaired levees. It is in the 9th Ward area; not sure exactly where that is, since I am not that familiar with the "Wards" of Nawlins. Mods, if this is in the...
