I have zero experience with any of these rifles but generally hear talk about their accuracy. I know there are other factors but is this ranking about right for just accuracy? Any other rifles that should be in this list? AR10 or other 308 AR clones M1A, M14 Browning BAR G3 / PTR91...

First I am making the assumption you do wear gear when you ride and not just a tee shirt and flip flops. In my case my jacket is too short to carry on my belt. I am also thinking of comfort and where a pistol would add extra impact if I got in a crash. I am thinking maybe a cross draw shoulder...

It was a short piston design and it came out in 1941, long before German or Russian equivalents. The 30-30 round is ballistic equivalent to the AK 7.62x39. True it is not a necked down chopped off rifle round but so???? It was lightweight, a mere 5.2 lbs empty. Compact at 36 inches, even...

I have seen many threads where you can take 30-06 brass and use it for 8mm mauser. Is there a similar thing you can do for 7.62x39?

I have an AR15 and having it dangle from my hand just doesn't feel right. Of all the combat pics I have seen rarely do I see a soldier carry it like that either. some FALs have a handle too. Maybe for a honker heavy machine gun a handle might be really advantageous but for a rifle don't...

I use luggage straps from bags bought for 3 bucks at thrift stores as 2 point rifle slings. They have quick detach hooks, tough nylon and to me don't look or perform different than what sells for 30 bucks or more "real" rifle slings. In general I have always looked for alternate items or...

I have 4 tactical style rifles I would like slings on, they all have folding stocks so the rear attachment point is on the hinge by the receiver. They all have attachment points on the right side which for me is not optimal since I am a lefty. I think I want to try a 3 point system. Looking...

I see them for under 400 while most sigs are a lot more expensive. Are they any good?

Just seems lately there are members everywhere real quick to insult another's sanity, intelligence, taste, mama if they don't like the brand or the question or anything. The lack of civility goes beyond the tradition gun snobbery or juvenile me too ism and is down right rude. Or it is just me...

I have a green mountain 4140 chrome moly 7.62x39 barrel, non chrome lined, 1 in 9.5 twist rate, reportedly between 30 and 35 rockwell C hardness. If it is cared for, i.e. cleaned after shooting but not abusively, how many rounds should it go before accuracy becomes affected?

I have a ruger aluminum rail I just j.b. welded to a vz58 synthetic top cover. I also j.b. welded it to the metal ends. Lots of surface glued together.

I see like the 7400 model pretty cheap, really often. milsurp cheap. WHY? What is wrong with them? edited, said winchester, not remington

Anybody else buy into that old saw? Lately I have been doubling up on stuff. My best 'rationale' is I have two sons and I want each to have some of the same thing.

I am thinking about getting some gouges touched up by welding but the guy asked what kind of stainless is it? Anybody know precisely what I should tell him.

I got a new brake and I really had to man handle it to screw it on. It got real tough toward the end and I had to apply a lot of torque. Someone made this comment "Here's a thought. Since a 14X1 muzzle brake is overly tight on a VZ2008, would it deform the barrels shape? Could it possibly be...

A lot of military vets I have known like to say the only use of a pistol is to help get you to a rifle. Who gets and uses them?

I got a police trade in 5906 and all in all it looks real good except under the rear sight there are like 9 small but kind of deep strike gouges. Looks like an epileptic ape tried to install the sights. Even a couple hammer strikes on the safety. Is there a way to fill them in? Would solder...

Could you swap the barrel out of a 4006 and shoot 40 S&W out of a 5906? What about magazines? While I am being imaginative what about 4506 45 acp? I suspect the answers will be NO at the politest and HA HA HA at the worst but it would be a cool thing like you can do with glocks and czs.

A new gun range opened up near me and they require you to wear a baseball cap to shoot there. They say it is for safety and I can see wearing safety glasses and ear muffs but a cap? I have never heard of such a thing and think it is stupid.

I have been told to never use the magazine as a grip. If anything went kaboom it might damage or remove your hand. Some way it might affect the feed. BUT I am constantly seeing pics of various military and police and other pros doing exactly that. So is it bad and dangerous practice?
