    My VEPR & My LMT M4 16" Carbine

    I totally agree with you, I have a Vepr in 762x39 and one in 308 and one in 556. I love the windage adjustable rear sight, the fit and finish, the heavier barrel, they are the cat's meow of AK'S! Only problem is availability and cost of the 308 ten round mags!

    Picked up my new LMT 308 rifle today. my FFL said DPMS is just a good

    I looked to buy an AR10 and ended up with an Armalite AR10T which I am very happy with, but almost bought a DPMS SASS, was outbid on Gunbroker, and I believe I would have been very happy with it. My brother just went through this, we priced AR10'S and if I remember correctly, the LWRC was...

    Bolting down the safe

    Definitely bolt a safe down, preferably to a concrete floor in the basement. Have a plumber put in one sprinkler head over your safe for additional fire proofing. Have a good alarm system put in with cell phone backup and fire monitoring devises besides motion detectors and glass break sensors...

    Anyone use FMJ ammo as their carry ammo?

    For all of you who will not use FMJ because of overpenetration and worrying about innocent bystanders, well that it commendable. But what if your attacker starts shooting at you from behind hard cover, or you miss and your attacker takes cover behind hard cover and starts shooting at you, if...

    Anyone use FMJ ammo as their carry ammo?

    FMJ Versus Hollowpoints The reason I Dutch Load, alternating hollowpoints and full metal jacketed rounds in the magazine, is because in all the firefights I have been in, the Military with rifles, people being shot at take cover, a hollowpoint is best if a clear shot, but what if your attacker...

    Anyone use FMJ ammo as their carry ammo?

    Penetration is to me more important than expansion. I like to "Dutch Load" alternating rounds between FMJ for penetration and HP for expansion.

    Guns for Investment Purposes

    Guns and ammo are a good investment. Paper fiat money not backed by gold or anything else and printed by the banks of the Federal Reserve not the US Government is only good as long as EVERYONE thinks it is good. I was a Paratrooper Grunt out in the jungle of Viet Nam in 68/69 and if I remember...

    AMSEC BF vs. Sturdy safe question

    Thank You, Adirondack! for answering my question on building a stud and sheetrock closet around a gun safe, sounds like an economical way to get excellent fireproofing to me. Thank You, ALABDJ! for bringing up the subject of used safes, a used safe should be just as good as a new one and you...

    AMSEC BF vs. Sturdy safe question

    I own an Amsec BF series gun safe, by the way you can get a lot of rifles and shotguns in a safe by putting silicone gun socks on them and putting half of them barrels up and half of them barrels down, after taking out the interior racks. My gunsafe is bolted to the floor and I have a...

    Gun ownership in Russia is increasing...

    If I remember correctly the Russians lost 20 million people in WWII, if I lived in a country with those kind of losses in a War, I would insist on gun ownership, and it would be in that country's interest to have an armed population. I can't remember exactly when I hunted Elk with Dick and...

    Which gun, for a one-gun user, in a worse-case scenario?

    I would hate to be limited to one firearm but if I was it would be a good reliable accurate centerfire rifle. I love handguns, there is nothing better for concealed carry, but they are underpowered and short range compared to a rifle or a shotgun. I love shotguns and bird hunting, but...
