A lengthy process of transferring my modest collection of firearms from one country to another culminated today when I collected my carry licence at the precinct today. Feel free to congratulate. There are things to consider. I only have an SP-01 as far as handguns go, and only a competition...

I'm going to RM in a match in a new region to me. I have no experience on organizing an unload zone in a range, but here that needs to be taken care of. I would like to appear knowledgeable so I turn to the always such High Roaders. Please describe any best practices as to the placement of...

I'm currently on business in Taipei for a week - anyone know of interesting shops to browse for any firearms/military related gear? Or other TW first-timer tips, for that matter...? :) I'll have time to see a couple of sights.

Tere, I'm looking to starting a job in Estonia this winter. I've spoken with the Estonian IPSC RD on the basic practicalities (pun not intended), but some assistance in getting my firearms imported and registered correctly would be greatly appreciated. As would info on ranges and clubs...

Aamulehti, a Finnish newspaper, reports today (rough translation by yrs trly): "The EU parliament may heighten the age limit for gun licences to 18 years. According to Aamulehti, the EU parliament is to consider a proposal, according to which minors would no longer be eligible to own...

Serious question: Mrs. igor will be attending a job seminar in Washington D.C. this spring. It's her first trip to the U.S. and she has little experience of such cities on this side of the pond either. She is a strong, level-headed lady with considerable karate experience, well aware of her...

International Herald Tribune gives a piece of mind on airline security. Very pithy!

In Finland, a firearms owners' lobby is being organized under the name "NRA of Finland". A long-time arms dealer, writer and lobbyist has been all over the news since last week - the UN small arms conference seems to be pretty much the focus. More to follow, I'd expect.

Hi everyone, I finally got lucky and found a dealer with decent AR:s in stock. The US State Dept. has made most exports a pain, so this guy stocks British Sabre Defence M5:s so we'll all within the EU. I'm getting their 16,75" A3-style mid-length upper. The measurement will be great as I can...

I'm going to test drive a SIG SP551-2 SP tomorrow. It's a year old, less than 1000 rds fired and comes with 4 30 rd mags, Picatinny rail on receiver and flip-up sights for a seemingly decent price. Any heads ups I'd need to consider? Experiences? It's my first .223/5.56 purchase I'm...

I'm looking for a variable scope for my AK for 3-gun use. There seem to be several affordable 1.5-4x tubes available, e.g. the Simmons Prodiamond. OTOH there's the IOR CRT 1.1-4x that costs five-six times that much, and then there are Leupolds and such that start from 1.1x and a grand...

Could someone point me towards the cheapest way to equip an older Winchester 1300 Defender with decent ghost ring or rifle sights? This shotty only has a brass bead and nothing drilled in the receiver as it is now. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Bear with me for a noob question. Yes, I searched first... ;) I'm considering getting a Byelorussian scope for my Russian 7,62x39 to nail those 150-200 meter targets my Kobra dot covers entirely :p :o I've the choice between POSP versions 4 x 24, 6 x 24, 6 x 42 and 8 x 42. I guess the...

Incredible stories here. :eek: Have your pills handy everyone, this'll give heck to your blood pressure.

Finnish newspaper article At close to 80 years of age, an old timer in central Finland got a working model of his belt-fed .22 finished after continuous prototyping since the late 1970's. A theoretical rate of fire of 420 shots per minute and a prompt arrest were achieved. The man tested...

A shooting buddy of mine is having a look at a used Ithaca 37: 8-shot mag, 20", parkerized finish, rifle sights, slam-fire mechanism. Provided it's in OK condition, what would it be worth? Worth the trouble? :confused:

Just saw some pictures of a Taurus PT92 "AR" version that had its frame formed into a Picatinny rail. Now this is interesting, as my PT99AFD is getting old... and both a 92 and a 100 (to make Major in IPSC) would do nicely to replace it. But, taurususa.com is just as useless as a source of...

<does the happy shotgunner dance> ;) :D I had a problem with my "new" Winchester 1300 Defender ejecting... I took my careful time to examine and probe for the reason - and now I've found it. The ejector rod's nose part was bumping into the shell rim, creating an extra threshold for it to...

A batch of Russian-made Sapsan ammunition in caliber 9x19mm I just got has the markings FMJ (ok so far) LCB plus it says "Bullet with covered base. Non-corrosive boxer primer HMF . Recommended for indoor shooting. " The shell casings are ugly, green steel and groupings surprisingly good. Could...
