    winchester 94 AE not loading next round?

    Hey guys, a couple years ago my uncle gave me his 1980 Winchester 94 AE in 30-30. Beautiful rifle, but lately I've had an issue. The first round will feed from the tube fine. However, the next round gets pushed by the follower, but the small metal tab that prevents the rounds from pushing...

It. WIll. Not. Stay. In! Every time I open up the bottom to let rounds out of the loaded rifle the...

    My factory SKS mag falls out, help!

    OK so I have struggled with this friggin thing for an hour now. It's a russian 1954 tula laminate stock SKS.

    Is a Yugo 24/52c just a rearsenaled czech vz24/g24t?

    I found a "Yugo mauser 24/52c" for sale for $300 online. I was wondering if these are just the same as a yugo 24/47 with intermediate action, or if a 24/52c is a captured cazech vz24/g24t with the large ring 98 action since the Germans issued something like 350,000 of them to troops. So is it a...

    What to buy? AKM or SKS?

    some of you may have read some of my recent posts (new member, hi guys!). I have narrowed down what I'd like for my first semi auto rifle to two. I am looking at either a chinese type 56 SKS from classicarms or AIM surplus for around $320. Cosmetically they're crap but mechanically quite good...

    Anyone have an opinion on classicarms sks?

    Since I live in the evil state of New York and the saiga ban prevents me from getting a NY safe compliant AKM I am looking instead into purchasing a type 56 sks from classicarms. These have a lot of bluing wear and stock wear but from what I've read and heard mechanically they aren't that worn...

    Can I put a wood stock on a s&w m&p 15?

    First off, I want to know what you guys think about this model rifle overall anyway. It's one of the few NY safe compliant ARs I've seen for sale commonly here in NY. Is it a good buy? Cheapest priced AR I've ever seen. Reliability? Durability? Accuracy? Lastly, as the title asks, can I fit...

    What really is the effective range of an AK 47/AKM?

    Now I know this topic has been beat to death but I'd like to hear some fresh opinions as well as input mine since I'm new here. I've heard many say that effective range of the AK is only 200m or so. I find this to be very low. The Russian Army placed Ak effective range to be 400m in semi auto...
