Just noticed this. Why does the AK-74 have 2 bayonet lugs? One on the gas block and one on the FSB. I know the AKM uses a lug on the gas block since the bayo hooks on right in front of the front sight and the butt of the bayo reaches back to the gas block to clip on there. On the 74, because...

So I have a Winchester SXP that I want to add some chokes to. I have a factory 26" ribbed barrel with Invector Plus chokes. And a 28" ribbed barrel that I cut to 18". When out shooting clays (Nothing serious or competitive. Just busting clays for fun) I find that I really prefer the handling of...

So I'm convirting my Uberti 1858 Remmington Navy to 38spl. cartridges. I plan to use the Kirst gated cylinder to do the job. Now anyone who's familiar with cartridge conversions knows, .44 cap and balls are easy to convert to 45 cartridges. Just swap the cylinders. The .36 cap and balls are...

Looking on the ParaUSA site. it looks like the P10.45 compact double stacks are no longer listed. I'm just looking for some of the short 10 round double stack mags for a friend who's not too web-savvy. Anyone know where I could get some?

So I have a pistol here that's blued but the bluing is kinda dull and cheap-ish looking. And I'm looking to pretty it up a bit. I heard a good way to do it is to polish the metal, mix some cold blue with oil, rub it on the metal, repolish, rub it in again, and keep repeating a few times and the...

Just curious if one could convert a cap & ball revolver using the parts from a factory "conversion"? Namely I'm thinking of barrels. If you want to convert a .36cal cap&ball and don't feel like dealing with heeled bullets. Then you'd have to send your barrel to be relined. But why not buy a...

So I have an Uberti 1851 navy with the round trigger guard. But I really love the looks of the squareback. Thing is noone carries the Uberti triggerguards as a replacement seeing as Uberti hasn't made a squareback version in a while now. Pietta triggerguards do seem to be available though so I'm...

Just curious. How involved would it be to convert something like a 5-shot 357 J-frame to a 6-shot .327 Fed or .32 H&R? Obviously the barrel would need to be lined for the smaller bullet. And a new cylinder made or found for the cartridge. What about the lockwork? Would the hand and...

So I'm pretty interested in the Colt 4x scope replicas made by Japan Optics LTD. (I think they used to be sold as Hakko here in the states) but I just can't find anyplace that sells them. I found their website but it seems they deal only in bulk orders. 50 scopes or $10,000 minimum order...

Just curious. Is there a magazine capacity limit when it comes to importing shotguns? As far as I know the import laws that guns imported into the US can't have any of the typical assault weapon features but I haven't seen anything mentioning a specific mag capacity. Yet any imported shotguns I...

I just bought my dad an Uberti 1860 Army for his birthday and of course he wants to go shoot it. I've been looking to get all the necessary supplies and was wondering if there's any online stores that carry EVERYTHING I need? Looking at local shops, they'll have powders and balls but won't have...

I was just playing an older videogame and noticed that in it the pellets of the shotgun don't spread the way they would in real life, in a circular pattern. In the game, they spread in a perfect horizontal plane. So it got me to thinking whether there's a device like a choke that can be...

So a thought I had today, theoretical ofcourse. We are all familiar with cap and ball revolvers I'm sure. And how they can be sold directly over the internet (or in a store ofcourse) with no paperwork, NICS checks or anything of any kind because they do not shoot a self-contained cartridge. Now...
