    12GA Rifle From HELL--

    If anyone is working on one, I have the 3.5" chamber reamer for the rifled 12 gauge barrel, and I'm willing to rent/loan-trade.

    Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94

    It wasn't an AK in War World, but it was hand made to match an existing gun, much as some of the Pashtun can do. There are still MNs and 98Ks in service. I expect the AK will last another century.

    Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94

    It was birthed in Cosmoline. :) He was no John Browning. Browning single-handedly designed dozens of weapons, including most of the US's WWI small arms, and some that are approaching a century and a half. Mikhail headed a team that designed one very effective rifle, based on the designs of two...

    Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94

    Exercise last year--I got handed a 1962 Tula AK. 90% condition, maintained by the US Army. Jammed badly on the 2nd round. Double feed, would not clear by touch in the dark. So I got pasted by soldiers with M4s and simunitions. I offered to take it home and fix it...

    A-stan would be a lot different without the AK. Or the SMLE.

    Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94

    No, the US had nothing to do with AQ. That myth just won't die. Nor did we provide any weapons to Iraq after Nixon cut off the Baathists, until we started re-equipping the police after Saddam. The M16 is a fine rifle, but requires a literate user who will perform occasional maintenance...

    Mikhail Kalashnikov, has died aged 94

    His legacy is the rifle, which will be around for centuries. Well done, Comrade Kalashnikov. You were a worthy adversary and a better ally.

    12GA Rifle From HELL--

    DOM seems to only be mild steel. It would work for a while, but I'd be worried about heat and stress reversing the lattice of the cold working. If you could get some from a mid range carbon steel...

    12GA Rifle From HELL--

    I do hope you mean cut and loaded for 12 gauge, and that you're not trying to fire them directly?

    My New Article On Guns

    Thanks. I will correct my error of geography. I know Chicago prohibits pretty much all martial arts weapons and even pocket knives by statute, but you can find full page ads for both in the Yellow Pages.

    Should I cut down my Stevens 311 SxS?

    Brilliant. Along with the gutted Carcano and a broken Jennings.

    Should I cut down my Stevens 311 SxS?

    The "Shorter set" are the cut off muzzles. They're not good for anything.

    Should I cut down my Stevens 311 SxS?

    Someone had already butchered the stock, and I have a nice ejector double, so I cut it, trued it, and soldered it. I need to remount the bead and blue it.
