    How do I upgrade my IBA body armor?

    I have tried my local Army/Navy store, Ebay and Craigslist and to no avail. Granted, those could pop a set up at any time but I'd rather find it sooner than later. I will keep checking, but if anyone else has an idea I would be glad to hear it... I have been checking similar aftermarket rigs...

    How do I upgrade my IBA body armor?

    I have an Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) carrier which works well for me, but one of the elastic cummerbund straps has become lost. Does anyone know where I might find replacements and/or any other aftermarket upgrades that might be desirable? This is the newer, side-opening model -- not the older...

    Soviet AK: Nickel-plated carrier?

    For instance. That's not in the white, is it? I'm reading up and the phrase "nickel plated" is coming up http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct656.aspx -- such as on that reproduction. I'm looking for a historically authentical reproduction in semi-auto.

    Soviet AK: Nickel-plated carrier?

    I'm researching the variants of the Kalashnikovs, and I repeatedly see some of the original "Soviet" AKs with a chrome-plated bolt carrier and some withouth. Can someone with a better understanding of the Kalashnikovs explain to me when and where the AK-47's recieved nickel-plated bolt carriers...

    Tactical Shotgun: Benelli M4 or Saiga-12?

    Cost is definately not an issue. Are the Saiga drums junky? I love the feel of the M4, comparatively, but I like the quick reload concept with the Saiga...

    Tactical Shotgun: Benelli M4 or Saiga-12?

    I recently had my beloved Remington 870 stolen. So, I want to replace her with the sexiest, expensive high-end "tactical" 12-ga money can buy (in the $2k area). I want a Semi-Auto, and I've narrowed it down to the Benelli M4 and the Saiga-12. I want your advice on which one and why. The...

    Which old school Colt 1911 can handle hollows?

    Let us get something out of the way, we are talking about real, pony-wearing Colts. I have Springfields and Kimbers. I'm looking for an old school, either WWI or WWII -style Colt for collector's piece. Even though it is just for collection, I would like it to be able to eat some decent...

    Advice on Low-Recoil M500

    Okay, here's the story: For whatever reason, I have some leftover Mossberg 500 parts. I've got a 20" ported barrel with rifle sights, the receiver and all the internals, I am just looking at stocks. I'm trying to keep cost down, so I'm sticking with the Mossberg. Please keep all "sell it and...

    Para-Ordnance and STI: Schwartz-Free?

    Let's get the unavoidable verbage situation out of the way: There is no "Series I" Kimber. There is no "Series 70" Colt. The Series 80's/Series II/Schwartz safety 1911's can be "smoothed out" or whatever and so on and so forth. Forget it. It's over. I'm looking for a non-Schwartz 1911 to add...

    Difference Between Wilson Combat 1911 Mags?

    So the ETM should prove more reliable than the standard in a full sized Kimber (no mag well)?

    Difference Between Wilson Combat 1911 Mags?

    I've had more 1911s than I've had women. And I've had a lot of women. ...and in that time I've found the most consistently reliable magazines have been those from Wilson Combat in any make/model I've had. However, I now see they have the standard magazines, the ETM and the Sentinel. I read...

    Pachmayr American Legend question

    Bad Luck. Anyone else? Old post but I couldn't resist... I had a pair and the rubber peeled out of the wood after about 3 months of use so I had to trash them. I only bring this up because I loved them until then and I don't know if I just got a defective set. Has anyone else had this...

    Do I Want A 10mm?

    Do I Want A 10mm?

    Okay, I know there's already a boatton of these threads on here. I'M SORRY! Now that I have that off my conscience... My local shop's got two Colts (leave the C-O-L-T- is J-U-N-K arguments for another thread, please) that I'm in love with. I went looking for a .45 because I have a small...

    Colt Series 70: How's it Eat Hollows?

    I have a stockpile of Speer GoldDot .45's. I want to get a Colt Series 70 (yeah, yeah, yeah. Leave the "what about a Springfield" or "try a Kimber" comments for another thread. I'm inheriting a Colt (think of it that way). How well will she take my hollowpoint ammo? Would it make a difference...
