What can you tell me about the WASR-10? A local store has two of them for sale, one of which has a folding stock. I didn't take a close look at them but the one with the fixed stock has what appears to be a scope mount on the left side of the receiver. Thanks.

I recently picked up a Taurus 65/66 and need a good holster. I'm looking for a shoulder holster that's comfortable and concealable. The Taurus is going to be used for a hunting backup but also as a CCW in the winter when wearing a jacket.

I have a Winchester Model 1906. It was purchased by my great uncle with money made from building the Panama Canal. It was given to my grandfather who gave it to me some time ago. Specs: Winchester Model 1906 Slide action Chambered for 22 Short Serial 15,xxx puts it as a first year...

I have a cut down Chinese T53. Before anyone starts, I've measured the barrel and its legal so there are no issues with it being a SBR. Since it is cut down, there isn't a "value" to it so I want to make a project gun out of it. I'm looking for it to be rugged, reliable, accurate and...

Well, I went to the local gun shop to pick up a speedloader but they didn't have what I was looking for. As I was walking out, I figured I'd look at their gun counter. Not seeing anything, I was about to walk out with I saw a Nagant tucked into a corner. I've always wanted one so after...

I currently have a M&P 9c which I like but I want to add another pistol to my collection. The M&P fits my hand well and is my CCW pistol. The glock would be a full size, range/hunting backup/HD/LEGO pistol. A full size would be more comfortable for long duration range sessions. It would be a...

If you get this month's edition of Discover magazine, they are talking about how hunting increases evolution. Anyways, the picture is a guy backpacking a pair of elk horns and he's got a M38 over his shoulder. Its nice to see an old war horse vs. an uber-expensive hunting rifle.

I've been using Prvi 5.56x45 with good results. If I switch to .223 brass, would I need to rework my load data? I haven't used a micrometer to measure the case thickness but I would suspect going from a thicker case (5.56) to a thinner case (.223) would drop my pressures requiring me to up my...

I picked up the CVA Buckhorn this year as a cheap inline to hunt with. There was no way I'd pay $200+ for something that was simply a hunting tool. It took it out on a 3 day hunting trip using 95gr. loose AP, 209 primer and Hornady FPB's. The temps were in the low 20's in the morning and...

Around here, there are only 3 places I can shoot outdoors, two are ranges open 6 months a year and my land up north. Anyways, I haven't been able to shoot BP much. Anyways, I finally made it to the range to very the sights on my in-line that I use for hunting. It still feels wrong to use an...

As my previous thread stated, I've seen the light(weight) when it comes to gov't profile vs. HBAR uppers. To start with, I have a Del-Ton mid-length HBAR with my AR in A2 format. I've already decided that I'm getting a new upper, the decision is which. Both barrels are 16" chrome lined...

I like my AR though its on the heavy side. Its an anti-tacticool A2 with an A2 buttstock and 16" HBAR. Anyways, while waiting for a shooting lane to open, I looked at a DPMS M4Gery. That thing was easily 2lbs lighter than mine. So...I know now that I have to get a Del-Ton lightweight upper...

I'm trying to decide on a new upper that shaves as much weight as possible. I currently have a 16" HBAR that is very accurate but I know I can lose some weight off of the barrel. My criteria are: A2 upper 16" Gov't profile (pencil) barrel mid-length gas system 1 in 9 twist M4 feed...

Dimensionally, a musket cap is much wider so it should throw a greater spark than a #11 cap which I would assume would translate into greater reliability of ignition. If this is true, why are #11 caps so common?

I'm looking at buying a "blue label", either a G17 or G19. I understand that a G19 is smaller allowed easier CCW, but are there any other benefits to it? This will be a range gun and backup to my M500 for HD. Is the G19 more popular just because its a better CCW choice? Bottom line is...

I'll be using a flintlock Kentucky this year as I'm letting a first time hunter use my percussion cap Hawkens. Are there any special precautions I need to take when going from warm to cold and cold to warm environments? Going from warm to cold shouldn't attract any moisture into my pan but...

I'm looking for a winter project so I think I'm going to build a flintlock pistol. I've seen them for same at Dixie and Track of the Wolf but does anyone else carry the kits? I'm looking for something where the metal is in the white, rough finish is fine but my woodworking skills are poor so...

First off, I know that this is a bad thread as everyone has their preferences and every rifle handles bullets differently. I've always used patched RB under 95gr of powder in my Hawkens. This year, I'll be using a CVA Buckhorn (ignore my Electra thread). The reason I'm going with the...

The first rifle I ever owned was a sidelock that I built from a kit so I can't believe I'm even considering a "modern" ML but does anyone have any experience with the Electra? It does sound like an interesting concept and having a zero locktime would be nice. In addition, not having caps or...
