    I just picked up my second Star BM from Aim surplus today. I ordered it from the same place at about the same time but this one is a little different than my first one. Here are the things that vary. The sights are different. one has a serrated ramp front sight and the other has a smooth...

    What is the deal with the Polish Makarovs?

    I have seen these in S.O.G.'s catalog and now I found one over on gunbroker. It is clear they are not "real" Makarovs but that is what people are advertising them as.:confused: Has anyone seen or shot one?

    What S&W revolver didn't you like?

    I am a big S&W revolver fan and for the most part, I like there guns but I had a S&W 63 SS 4" .22lr revolver that left me cold. It was a solid gun and shot well and gave me no problems but it looked like it was finished with coarse sandpaper and had a very stiff trigger. Overall it just wasn't...

    Best semi-auto car gun?

    What is the best "car gun" for the money? The way I define a "car gun" is: it has to be medium sized and chambered in a cal that is respectable. It should be inexpensive in case it gets stolen but still should be of high quality. It should be as close to 100% reliable as possible. It...

    The Star BM I ordered from AIM came in and I picked it up from my dealer today. For those of you that don't know, the Star BM is a Commander sized, all steel, single stack 9mm 1911 style pistol. It looks great. It came with two mags, the manual and original Star plastic box. I would rate...

    Can I shoot +P ammo in my old S&W 36 flatlatch?

    I just bought a round butt S&W flatlatch M-36 five screw. It is dated to the early 1950s. Can I shoot +P ammo it in without any problems? Were these old M-36s as stong as the newer ones? P.S. I don't have it yet, it will arrive next weekend I think so I haven't even checked it out in...

    Range report, new Bulg Mak 9x18

    I got to shoot my "new" never fired Mak today. I only had one box of S&B 9x18 but I got a small taste of the gun I think. In short, it shot really high and was not very accurate. I was using 6-7" paper plates as targets from about 50' and even holding at the bottom of the plate, I was...

    Cheapest 9x18mm Mak ammo?

    I'm sure this has been asked before but prices change and deals crop up all the time. Right now, what is the best deal on cheap practice ammo for the Mak? Should I wait until the next gunshow or are there good deals online?

    I just got a Mak!

    I finally found a Mak for sale at a reasonable price. I have been wanting one for several months but they were hard to find. It is a Bulg Mak with 2 mags, cleaning rod and two sets of grips. At first it looked rusty but I didn't have time to really check it out so I bought it with the...

    Saw a Bulg Mak today.

    I had some time at lunch so I stopped by my local gunstore just to see what was new and I saw a Mak. I have not seen very many of these popular pistols and this is the first Bulg Mak I have seen, the others were Russian. They wanted $199 plus tax and they were firm on there price. It was...

    Making handguns out of shotguns or rifles?

    I recently read that is is perfectly legal to make your own gun as long as it is not for resale. Can you make a handgun out of a cut down rifle or shotgun if you rechamber it in a handgun caliber? For instance, can you take an old single shot 12ga shotgun and somehow rechamber it in .44mag...

    Makarov vs. S&W snubbie?

    I am considering getting a medium sized gun for the glove box. It should be totaly reliable, small enough to fit inside my tiny glove box (a full sized gun won't fit), have decent power (at least .380), be cheap (under $200 is what I'm thinking) and easy to shoot and stick in a pocket if...

    Fav semi-auto "assult" rifle that you have OWNED?

    What is your fav "battle" rifle, "assult" rifle type gun that you have owned? It must be one that you have owned because I want to see what people really think about certain guns. I know on paper or in my head, I liked some guns more than others but once I owned one, my opinions changed. For...

    How do I get the top part of the handgaurd off my SAR-1?

    I know how it is supposed to come off but I have net been able to get it off. The lever may not be moving far enough but I think it is. I think the piece is jammed in there or something. Is there a trick? Has anyone else had problems removing the top handgaurd? Thanks.

    Winchester 1400. How good are they?

    I just bought a Ted Williams M-300 that I checked and found out it was made by Winchester and is the model 1400. It is a semi-auto 12ga with an adjustable choke and 28" bbl including the choke. It is in almost mint condition because it has been stored for most of its life. It is chambered for...

    Marlin (Glenfield) 30A 30-30?

    I just bought a Glenfield Marlin 30A 30-30 with a 4x32 Marlin scope. I can't find much info on it and I did a search here and found nothing. How does it compare to other lever action 30-30s? It is almost mint and I wonder if it has ever been shot. The feeding port on the side of the...

    Star PD .45acp question.

    For any of you that own or have owned a Star PD, what did the feed ramp look like? The reason I ask is, I recently saw a nickel PD that looked like it was in great shape except the feed ramp looked like it had been ground with a dremel or something. It was uneven and seemed not to match the...

    Where to get grips for a Bersa?

    I have a Bersa 23 in .22lr that has the thick wood grips. They look nice but they do not feel as good as the black plastic grips that come on Bersa guns now. I have heard that all the grips are interchangeable, can anyone confirm or deny this? All I want is some factory stock black...

    I may be getting a Makarov.

    I guess I have to try one of these guns because everyone keeps raving about them. I have looked at a few and wasn't impressed but now that ammo is cheap for them, I think I will buy one and see what I think. I went to a dealer and he is checking to see if he can get me one. I am supposed to...
