    CZ-75 SP-01 Accidentally Hitting Mag Release Button?

    Does anyone else have a problem with their SP-01's mag release button? I think they enlarged it from the CZ-75 to the SP-01... If I move just right with this pistol holstered in either my leg holster or bianchi OWB I can get the mag to drop out of the gun. While niether of these are...

    Talk me out of "Dissipator-Style" CMMG Upper?

    Ever since I purchased my Bushmaster 16" Carbine, I have realized how much I like the AR iron sights and I've pined for a longer sight radius. I've been thinking about this for years, but it's finally becoming practical for me to purchase a Dissipator-style (rifle-length handguards, sight-radius...

    Storage Compartment in AR Stock? Grip?

    I really like how I can store cleaning tools in my AK wood stocks (via the spring-loaded door). The only stocks I have for my ARs are collapsible. Is there a storage compartment in the AR full stock? Do you guys store anything (oil, cleaning tools, etc) in your rifle?

    Do all Chinese SKS's have chrome-lined barrels?

    I'm considering purchasing a Chinese SKS but the seller says the barrel does not seem to be chrome-lined. I thought all Chinese SKS's were chrome-lined. Am I wrong? What do you think about a non-chrome-lined-barrel SKS?

    Anyone know anything about these antique bayonets?

    At one point I had researched these and sold a few but I still have a few antique bayonets sitting around. Does anyone know about these? I know the circular scabbard is for a bayonet for a French Lebel rifle. Anyone know anything more? (both pics are of the same items)

    Decent Budget Leather Rifle Sling?

    I need a sling for my Mini-30. Right now I am using a cheap black nylon sling that works OK but it slips and it looks terrible on the wood/stainless rifle. I'm really looking for an M1907-type sling. Simple, no padding, brown leather and functional for carrying and steadying the rifle...

    Can anyone recommend a long gun for the car that complies with OH regulations?

    Ohio requires me to keep any long guns in my car "unloaded." This means that not only can no rounds be in the gun but legislation passed a few months ago clarifies that I cannot even keep a loaded magazine in the car, locked or unlocked, separated or anywhere in the vehicle. Does anyone know if...

    Looking for advice on a suppressor for .22lr...

    I am fairly sure I am ready to purchase a suppressor for my .22lr firearms. I understand all the legal implications and the purchasing process. I will be purchasing through a trust. I have used a friend's SWR Spectre extensively on my CZ-75 Kadet Kit (threaded) and a Ruger 10/22. I really like...

    Best Steel-Case (Cheap) 5.56/.223 Ammunition?

    I typically shoot Wolf (or similar) cheap steel-case in my military-style firearms. My Bushmaster AR has been very happy with the Wolf 5.56. I believe it is soft point as there is exposed lead at the end of the bullet. I don't remember as I bought it a while back and threw it all in magazines...

    What do you guys think of the M7 Replica Holsters?

    A lot of places seem to be selling replicas of the US M7 Tanker holster for $30-$40. CTD has one, for example here - http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/LEG195-33.html. Has anyone used one of these? I am thinking about using it with a 4" K-Frame Smith and Wesson and possibly my CZ-75 (SP01) if...

    Should I get a Shoulder Holster?

    Do you guys like shoulder holsters? All I have right now for my CZ-75 SP01 is a cheap Fobus paddle holster. This is not working well because the gun is too heavy for a paddle holster it seems. I also want something with better retention as the weight of the CZ seems too much for the strapless...

    Shoulder Holster for CZ-75 (SP01)?

    I have a CZ-75 SP-01 that is incredibly heavy compared to my usual carry piece (Glock 19). However, I love the pistol and would like to carry it - at least in the winter. What do you guys think of carrying the SP-01 in a shoulder holster? Would I be better off with an OWB belt holster? Money is...

    Sight Adjustment on Kel-Tec Sub-2000

    I found that my Kel-Tec Sub-2000 required some pretty drastic modification of the front sight position to get it to shoot straight at the 25 yard distance I sighted it in at. It uses the purple see-through front sight that is tightened up/down/any direction via allen head screws on either...

    Mossberg 500/590 20" vs Mossberg 500/590 18.5"

    I bought (a few) Mossberg 590 full-stock 20" shotguns. At the time, I was really scared of future bans and limiting my shotgun to less than its 8 round capacity. I've recently played with a few 18.5" Mossberg 500/590's - especially the 6 shot Mariner model. I really would like to lose 1.5"...

    Carbine-Length Iron Sights On an AR? Good Enough?

    I bought a Bushmaster HBAR 16" carbine-length gas system/FSB AR-15 last spring. I loved the rifle. I loved the accuracy. I loved the fast follow-up and low recoil. I loved the ergonomics and weight. I slightly regret the heavy barrel but this was a police surplus from a local gun store sale to...

    Can we be honest about what kind of accuracy you are getting from your AKs (esp WASR)

    I have put plenty of rounds through my GP-10 WASR AK-47-type rifle. I was basically minute-of-man accurate at 100 yards sitting on a rickety picnic table bench with a rickety 2 x 4 supporting the gun by the mag. I was less accurate standing using a steady-sling. I was using crap black post and...

    Hello all, A family member recently came on a few hundred dollars (~$350 at most) and wanted to buy me a Christmas gift. I would really like another gun - probably a pistol - and definitely something with some military heritage as I really like military history. So far my family has: Long...

    Proper Position when Using AK-type Offset Optics?

    I am using a PK-AS on my WASR AK's left-side optics rail. I don't believe there is any way I can fix my cheek to the stock and still see the red dot with my right eye. How do you guys aim like this? Do you just not weld your cheek to anything?
