    Article about the M4 Carbine

    This rifle has been in the news lately. This article appeared Friday in the Weekly Standard. It's a bit long to post all of it so here's a bit of it and you can read the rest on the link. I'd be interested in seeing what folks have to say about the article...

    A bit peeved with my new AIM 91/30

    I got a MN 91/30 from AIM this week. It's a 1943 Ishevsk. No complaints with its condition, seems to be fine on initial inspection. My beef is that it is very clean. I took the bolt out and disassembled it, clean as a whistle. I have a perverse enjoyment of getting a rifle that's dirty and...

    New SOG Website

    SOG is notorious for not updating their website. Now it is even more worthless unless you have a C&R or an FFL. Apparently they may now be updating the website with what they actually have in stock but you can't see what they have or prices unless you have an FFL or C&R. I guess you'll have...

    What milsurps down the road?

    Just curious if anyone knows of anything that might be imported in the next few years. Anything new? I missed out on AIM's No.1 Mk.3s last year. Hope some more show up. The days of cheap milsurp collecting may be drawing to a close. When the N. Korean regime dies one day, that...

    CMP 1903A3s all gone

    They had 1,000 not long ago but when the word got out they were in short supply, they went fast. I got mine last month. They still have 1903s though. From the moderator of the CMP forum: "We have less than 100 M1903A3 rifles remaining - and still a basket full of mail orders to open...

    .303 Ammo Availability

    I was kicking around the idea of getting an Enfield but in browsing the Enfield forum at Gunboards.com, I got the impression there is little, if any milsurp ammo available in that caliber. I would not be shooting it much if I got one, would get it mainly for historical interest. Is there...
