    Why do you NEED that? Goring the Sacred Cows of the Left.

    We've all heard the lame whining----Why do you NEED an AR-AK-MAC-HK and so forth. Why do you NEED a .50BMG rifle? Why do you NEED those weapons? They don't have a "sporting" purpose. What about "common sense" gun laws? What about "safety"? And "the children"? Well let's just apply that to some...

    Ultimate "wish" rifle thread---Gov't buys YOU one

    Ok, this will be even harder to get our minds around than entertaining thoughts of a nuclear war, only because a nuclear war seems more realistic. But, it'll be fun. (This thread, not a nuclear war.) Assume a President finally gets elected who decides that an armed citizenry is the best...

    Ultimate SHTF rifles thread

    Back in the 1980s, "survivalists" were always talking about the best rifles to have in case of the big nuclear war everyone thought was coming. Except, they didn't have the internet.:D Ok, I'm sure the whole "SHTF" has been flogged to death here, but how about this scenario: You wake up to...

    My new Finn M-39

    Had my local shop order me a "excellent condition" 1944 VKT Finn Mosin M=39 from Wholesale Guns & Ammo. For $129, this rifle is a steal!!! The bore, heck, the whole barrel, looks new. Bright, shiny and sharp in the bore and smooth, unmarred, all blued on the outside. Action is tight but smooth...

    Could the Carcano REALLY be the JFK assassination weapon?

    Ok, this is, firstly, not meant as a "conspiracy theory" thread or a discussion of possible assassins' identities or motives unless it has a bearing on the weapon possibly used. The question is: Knowing what we know today, does it seem likely that the Carcano did, in fact, make the shots that...

    The Soviet/Warsaw Pact Yard Sale

    Who'd have thought in 1981 that Soviet made Mosin Nagant rifles would be selling at Big 5 one day? Who'd have thought in 1982 that AK mags for all the Warsaw Pact nations would be selling for the price of a fast food value meal each mag? Who'd have thought in 1980 that Rusian-made ammo would...

    Wolf making .30 carbine now

    I sent away for the free Wolf Ammo brochure and, lo, it shows that they are making .30 carbine ammo now! The bullet comes in your choice of bi-metal or copper 110 grain going at 1990 fps. If it's cheap enough, that could be a good thing. It also shows they are, indeed, making .308 also in 150...

    CZ-52 range report

    This is first of all a FUN handgun! Shooting this is a real blast---literally! The muzzle blast and report of this round will sure wake you up! No failure to function of any kind. Had a couple rounds of ammo that had hard primers, but this was the ammo's fault. Accuracy is surprising. With...

    AFCK=A Frickin' Cool Knife!

    Just got a new Benchmade AFCK plainedge. Great knife!!! High quality, smooth, solid, sturdy, and fast. Using the thumb hole is fast. Holding back the axis lock button and flicking is faster. Doing the Brownie pop is warp speed! Sharp? This thing is like a straight razor. It shaves you arm with...

    How to remove barrel on CZ-52?

    Ok, I see how to field-strip the pistol. But how does the barrel come out? All the net pages that show how won't load in this POS web tv because they use PDF and Adobe. Anyone can explain it to me? Thanks!

    Tell me about CZ-52

    How is it accuracy-wise? Reliable? Fun? Good pistol? Easy to find extra mags? I want to try the 7.62x25mm for many years now. How oes this pistol stack up against the Tokarev? Better? As always, your help is greatly appreciated!

    Soviet captured K-98 Mausers--any good?

    I see AIM Surplus has Soviet WW2 captured German K-98s for sale. Supposedly, the Soviets refurbished them and then stored them. Are these any good? I wonder what the bores look like? Are the missing parts? Anyone know?

    This is why you don't drink and drive

    Just came back from a trip to Phoenix. Driving on I-17. We saw an accident I really wish we didn't see. I'm not going to preach here, well, maybe a litle, but bear with me. This accident happened on the southbound side of I-17 on the grade a few miles down from the Crown King-Bumblebee cutoff...

    Cold Steel 5" El Vaquero

    Cold Steel used to make a 5" blade El Vaquero, which they have now discontinued. Well, today, I found a new one gathering dust and it followed me home. I already have the 6" blade Vaquero Grande. This 5" bladed one is great. Rides in the pocket even better than the Vaquero Grande, which rides a...

    What are my options in a NON-1911 .45ACP?

    I'm talking an out-of-the-box, no extra parts needed, ready-to-shoot, fairly accurate piece. Now, I have heard that Ruger makes a fairly decent pistol in this caliber and so does Glock. I'm not looking to spend a fortune here. This doesn't have to be concealable, but not a brick on a stick...

    Spyderco Civilian--Ohhhhh yeaaa!!!!

    WOW!!!!!!! You HAVE to see this knife to appreciate it. When I opened the zippered case in came in, I had a grin you wouldn't believe. This knife is beautiful. Awesome. Solid. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best, I rate it as follows: 1.) QUALITY---10 2.) FIT & FINISH---10 3.) SMOOTHNESS OF...

    Cold Steel Vaquero Grande

    When you open this knife, your eyes will pop right out of your skull. This thing would even be BIG for a sheath knife. But the beauty is, the way the handle is shaped, when it's folded, it actually rides quite nice in a front pocket! It can be carried quite well. And the visible part above the...

    Spyderco Spyderhawk

    This knife is just beautiful. If you like hawkbills, you will love this knife. VG-10 steel and an absolutely beautiful blade. VERY wickedly sharp. The curve is just splendid. Feels great in the hand. The blade is a little higher from the handle when folded than the Matriarch, so carry is not as...

    Spyderco Matriarch

    Two freakin' thumbs up on this baby! This knife is MADE for cutting flesh deep and nasty. And it will. Blade is a "reverse S" and looks plain wicked. That's because it is. It will cut at the slightest touch and will not stop cutting as long as blade is contacting. Light in the pocket, feels...
