    Palmetto State Armory ordering question

    Seems strange how you can order items from so many various internet retailers, and many will ship the very next day, but in the case of Palmetto State Armory, it seems like 2-3 weeks is the norm. What is it so many of these other retailers are doing correctly to get orders out quickly, that...

    Zastava M70 'O-PAP' AK review (with photos)

    And that's why I gave my front sight a good hit with a block of wood and a big hammer to straighten it out. The front sight block assembly is now completely straight, resulting in a centered front sight post when the gun is zero'd

    Mikee QUOTE: ... "Why wouldn't one need to fix a canted front sight? I would think that would royally screw up your windage at different distances" ______________________________ Well, If your front sight block is canted off to the left of centerline, all that's needed is to reposition the...

    Zastava M70 'O-PAP' AK review (with photos)

    At the time I was there, there were no other customers in the store, but the lady that weighed the AK asked me if it was a "Machine Gun" ... I told her it only shoots 1 bullet at a time and only as fast as you can pull the trigger. :) Then she tells me it looks like "one of those guns that...

    Which gun finish will hold up the longest and be most scratch resistant >

    I have a Serbian M70 (AK47 derivative) and want to strip the gun completely and have the stamped receiver and barrel (all the black metal parts) refinished. What type of finish do you think would hold up the best and be the most scratch resistant? Cerakote, Bluing or Parkerizing if all...

    Caldwell 'The Rock' Shooting Rest ?

    I was looking at a shooting rest other than sand bags or socks filled with dried beans. I would like something fairly simple that will support both my AK-47 and my Colt 1911 handgun. The 30 round magazines for these AKs are pretty long, so I need a shooting rest that will go up high...

    Reloading 7.62x39mm (AK-47) .. Worth the trouble?

    Thanks for all the replies ... I am still happily reloading .45 ACP for my Colt Gold Cup, but for this Serbian 'Zastava Arms' M70, I am just going to look for the cheapest 7.62 I can find that's non-corrosive and not worry about saving the cheap steel 'Soviet Bloc' cases. :D .

    Reloading 7.62x39mm (AK-47) .. Worth the trouble?

    Thanks everyone for the info you have given me. Just like all other ammo, that 7.62 East European steel ammo went way way up in price after the latest school shooting. It does seem like now most ammo has slowly gone down in price a little. Give it a little more time, and hopefully ammo...

    red rick Quote: "I just bought 7.62 x 39 Brown Bear for $5.00 / 20 rounds" _____________________________________ .25 cents per round ... That's a good deal. I can load my own .45 ACP 230gr FMJ for .18 cents per round using free range pick-up brass, but even the cheap .45 ACP you buy at...

    Reloading 7.62x39mm (AK-47) .. Worth the trouble?

    For me, the best thing I ever did was to buy a Lee 4-Hole Classic Turret Press and start loading my own .45 ACP. I find it much much cheaper than buying .45 ACP at the store. And brass is plentiful for me. Now I am in the process of buying an AK-47. Of course it shoots 7.62x39mm I know...

    I too am looking for a Russian Saiga SLG21 imported and modified by Arsenal / Fime Group. The problem I am finding is that all the companies that used to sell these guns (K-var, etc) are all out of stock on all the various versions of the SLG21. I don't know what is happening right now ...
