    1898 Krag Rifle Stock Repair

    I used brownell’s acraglas gel and brass stock repair pins. From what I’ve read threaded brass pins were used in arsenal repairs so I was hoping this would at least kinda look period correct though I doubt they would’ve bothered trying to save this stock if they had replacements available back...

    1898 Krag Rifle Stock Repair

    My repairs so far... https://m.imgur.com/gallery/Wy6s8uC Backstory here, I got this rifle in a trade with a friend who had inherited it in this condition. Someone had sawed off a chunk of the stock, crammed a wedge of wood into the split portion, filled the split with wood putty, painted it...

    Could someone ID this blade?

    Well thanks for the help guys, I like the ring pommel design for it's added retention and perhaps additional value as a single finger brass knuckle.

    What if They Rifled Bullets Instead of Barrels?

    I think fin stabilized, guided projectiles launched in a sabot will be in the near future. They are already experimenting with them. That's not the same as a rifled bullet but the concept is similar.

    Is there such a thing as a cheap bullpup?

    Century has that hideous AK bullpup. That's about the cheapest I've seen in a rifle caliber. Kel-Tec makes the RFB, it runs at about $1100 Good luck finding one though. Too bad Kel-Tec never made the SUB-16

    Why not a blowback .223 semi-auto rifle?

    I wonder how strong the action spring would have to be for a blowback .223, that would be a nightmare to cock if someone was ever crazy enough to make one.

    SVT 40 dilled and tapped for scope worth

    I hope it's an original scope mount, sporterizing an SVT is blasphemy.

    EoTech washout

    It must have been very, very bright. My 512 gets so bright it kinda hurts my eyes. Did you have it turned up all the way? Did you try changing the batteries?

    Recoil Magazine Kerfuffle

    I say out the Zumbo types, maybe they will learn the error of their ways. Don't forget about David Petzal, he was the original 'Zumbo' in magazines. Bill Ruger could have been the founding father of the Zumbo club. Here is a nice, recent Petzal quote... ■ Anything tactical: These days, if...

    Magpul maglink and ITW Fastmag?

    I just picked up a couple more Pmags and a maglink and I was wondering if anyone has tried using an ITW fastmag pouch to hold the linked magazines? Is there enough room between the mags for the pouch's front half? Any other suggested method for carrying linked Pmags? I have a surefire 60...

    Forward Assist? What?

    I don't know about you but I prefer not to always wear gloves, especially gloves that are thick enough to provide any kind of insulation from heat. And I assure you that it would be a problem after firing a magazine or two, unless you wanted to be branded by your rifle. The forward assist is...

    Forward Assist? What?

    Everyone of these forward assist threads invariably has the comment "use the recess on the bolt carrier" or "that's why the bolt carrier has a recess, so you can push on it with your thumb" The only reason the bolt has a recess is to provide a space for the dust cover detent. I really want...

    New M&P15 - What Optics?

    I bought a EoTech 512 for my M4gery, no regrets. Sure the batteries won't last for years but then again I don t leave it on either. It automatically shuts off after about 8 hours and I replace the two AA's once every two months. The old batteries get rotated out to remote duty.

    Guns and roller coasters

    If I was gonna carry in a roller coaster then I would pocket carry in a pocket with a zipper. There may be some sort of retractable pistol lanyard that would help to secure a holstered gun to your belt in the event that it slipped our of the holster.

    buckshot/birdshot hybrid reload

    I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish but it's always been true in my experience that anytime you try to make something do two different things it will do both things poorly.

    Anyone running dual optic set ups on their AR's?

    I've got an EOtech 512 on my AR and I really want to get the flip up magnifier to go with it but I think the mini red dot an scope solution is a better setup in most cases. My next optic setup is going to be a redfield 2-7x33mm scope and a mini red dot(RMR or fastfire) mounted at about 45...
