Aww yeaaa... Bavarian M69/71 Werder Lightning Rifle. Local auction had it marked "Old Military Gun" and I was thoroughly convinced nobody would know it. Turns out they had a phone bidder from Iowa, but I beat him and a local yokel easily with heaps of cash. $400 for a $1400 rifle seemed...

I bought a first-gen Russian NV scope off gunbroker for a steal. $175 shipped to my door. It's kinda bulky, the optics aren't super-duper, but it's got a chevron reticule and turrets for adjustment of same. I can see in the dark with it, and it's awesome. Here's the thing. It's heavy, and...

A couple years ago, somebody offered up a Krieger match barrel on the Gunboards.com trader. The seller was a competition shooter who wanted to exploit cheap ammo, and back then ammo was very cheap, so they'd had a barrel custom ordered. However, they'd grown bored and put a GI barrel back on...

Okay, I just saw the Czech Police trade-in CZ-75s, and for the price I can't imagine that I can get hurt. I also know where to find magazines for $25 each. So, for about three hundred fifty bucks I can have a serviceable police-trade-in 9mm and three mags. Now for the downside, I'm...

In case you haven't seen the thread down in the Trader Feedback forum, I should hopefully eventually have a preban Calico M100 here in lovely NY. Thing is, I've been planning on going down to the Big E show in MA in October, and right now I hate that damn calico carbine and all the...

It's maybe an embarrassing lead in, but what the hell. Back in March I threw an ad up on Craigslist personals. Figured I didn't have much to lose and was worth a shot. Got a bunch of crazies and spam, entirely too many people way too old for me, and this one chick who seemed to be pretty...

Yes, probably half the reason I own both my M1941 Johnson and my DP-28 is the ability they give me to make horrible-sounding jokes. I did this on behalf of Owlnmole, who wanted to know how the bolt worked. I one-upped his request and went over how the whole gun works. MGS said on Monday that...

I live in NY, and a local shop is trying to claim that the preban (and by serial, they're right) AR-15 lowers they've got for sale can legally have a preban/evil-features upper attached by the purchaser with no repercussions. As I understand it, given that NY has a state-wide exact copy of...

I'm thinking of buying said really nice engraved K98-based sporter action with set triggers and stuff for about $450 (supposing I don't get outbid) on one of the auction sites. The thing that confuses me, however, is that the action has what looks like conventional D&T scope base holes at the...

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=31913931400&ref=ts Buy a brick of .22, grab a couple curious noobs, and have a go at winning some prizes, though even if you don't win, everyone you take does!

I need one, I cannot find one anywhere, and it is driving me insane. Can anyone suggest anyplace that for-sure has them? Numrich and rollingblockparts and all the other places I've checked sure don't. Barring that, anybody know what size and pitch it is?

7.62x51 for comparison. They seem to fit .22 shorts, but the firing pin wouldn't impact the rim to set them off, and the diameter is larger than an 8mm/.30 cal rifle of any sort I have on hand other than 7.5 Swiss. Smoothbore. I think they might be for turning a .45 ACP firearm into a .22...

Might be breaking the rules, but hey, he is the foremost weapon against the anti, so he deserves a little extra credit. Happy birthday!

The AR-15 fires 5.56x45. AR-15 uppers are available in 7.62x39. Why hasn't anybody ever tried reaming out a 7.62x39 chamber to 7.62x45 Czech? I have a Vz-52 (well, several, actually) and I find the M-52 to be a very potent and favorable round. Maybe it's just another damned intermediate...

I've bid on these on Gunbroker before, but never high enough to beat out certain other people who know who they are. But when my local gunshop guy pulled it out from behind the counter and said "make me an offer", I got very quiet, my eyes got very big, and there was a long pause. I then offered...

I just went to a local auction, a bankruptcy dispersal. The bid amount didn't include tax, which was eight percent, or buyers premium/commission, which was ten percent. I saw an Auto-ord tommygun go for $1900 A Marlin 39a missing the magazine rod go for $450 A 7.62x51 conversion MAS-49/56 for...

I just got MHI, and there's a reference to Bun Bun from Sluggy Freelance. The John Ringo novels alls feature Bun Bun. I'm pretty sure he's mentioned in passing somewhere in "Better to ask forgiveness" and a couple other books. What gives with the cameos? I keep getting the feeling there's...

May I present my latest atrocity of holiday firearms enthusiasm! I would've waited for dimmer light so the bulbs would glow more, but it was warm today, the snow melting, and supposed to rain, so I took the photo while I could. Really, I liked last years better, but nobody else on...

Given you're hunting deer in your usual environment, what do you consider the longest range in relatively calm environmental conditions and against a standing deer at which you will take a shot? Please state what rifle, what topography, and what ranges and conditions you would or would not...

Well, hopefully I'll do as well this time as I did with the $70 Lyman 438 this October. I found this at my local gunshop, and for $20 decided to take a chance. Looks .22ish, and very good optics. Side mounts on the RIGHT side of a rifle, making me think for a single-shot breechloader of some...
