    Question about Desert Eagle XIX 44 Mag Barrel

    Does anyone know if the DE XIX 44 Mag barrel is chrome-lined or not? I was looking at the crown end of the barrel, and the bore looked very dark (not silvery). But again, I heard that all desert eagles are chrome-lined. Can anyone confirm? Thx. Retro

    Why putting expensive glass on semi-auto?

    I was wondering about this and I would appreciate other's feedback: Given the TRUE accuracy of semi-auto rifles (i.e. excluding PSG1 and such, excluding advertising which claims consistent SubMOA and such), with the average group being approximately 1 - 2 MOA, why would people put expensive...

    DPMS LRT-SASS has a stainless or chrome-moly barrel? Could not tell...

    The DPMS LRT-SASS 18 inch barrel appears to be blued, which means it is chrome-moly... but it cannot be touched up/blued with SuperBlue solution, which means it is not carbon steel. DPMS website says it is stainless 416, but some other websites that sell SASS say that it is 4140 chome-moly...

    Just curious as to which one of the two following pistol calibers (.45 ACP +P or Tokarev) are more capable than the other to stop a grizzly bears or mountain lion at 15-20 yards? Don't really care for other calibers since I don't have them. Yes, I know, 44 mag or .357 mag, but I have...

    Why is there a barrel tensioning screw on the SAGE EBR Stock?

    Installed my SOCOM 16 onto a new "patented version" EBR stock. Certainly not a real "drop-in" installation, I am afraid to say... I had to use many tools to "fit" the op rod guide block onto the barrel, and then adjust it back and forth until it matches the holes on the EBR chasis, the whole...

    I have tried various calibers in the past, and .45 and 7.62 x25 are two of my favorite calibers. Tokarev round has an effective range of 75-100 yards, and its velocity is very close to a .30 caliber M1 carbine round, and has higher energy than .45 round and about the same as a .357 sig round...
