I am considering buying a FAL, or perhaps some similar rifle in 7.62 Nato. I believe there are several companies producing these from surplus parts. Which are reliable FALs for the lowest possible price? What about alternatives? I see the Saiga rifles in .308 for around $400, but the extra...

A couple of weeks ago I purchased an Indian Ishapore SMLE in .308 from a dealer in the Atlanta Farmers's Market gun show. The bolt was held from moving by a plastic tie. I have seen a lot of guns in gun shows tied this way, and assumed it was a safety measure against accidental firing...

I bought an Indian Ishapore Enfield at a gun show in Atlanta on Saturday. It was a rifle I had been wanting for a long time. It looked to be in good shape, but I could not work the bolt at the show because the seller had a plastic tie around it. I cut off the tie today and found that it is...

I have about made up my mind to buy a Kel Tec pistol in either .32 ACP or .380. The trouble is, I can't decide which one to buy. From general persusal of posts on the two guns, it seems I see far more reports of reliablity problems with the P3AT. As much as I like the .380 caliber, the P32...

I own a Beretta in .25 ACP and from what I have read the .25 ACP has about the next lowest stopping power to a BB gun. Is there any kind of improved ammo out there that would increase the power of my Beretta .25? Or should I try to attach a bayonet to the barrel? I have been considering...

I went to the range today and tried out a .40 caliber S&W 4006 that I bought a couple of weeks ago. It was used police surplus and only cost $299 at a gun shop in Smyrna, Georgia. I am absolutely delighted with it. I fired it at the range along with my Glock 23 and a S&W M&P .40 that I...

I have noticed that there are two opposing schools of thought on what type of handgun ammuntion has the best stopping power. One is lead by Evan Marshall, who examines shooting statistics and often finds that the higher velocity/lighter bullet loads have the best stopping power. The other...

I am interested in buying another .40 pistol, and would like to find one that is far easier to control than my Glock 23. Which .40 should I buy?

Today I went to a gun show in Atlanta which traditionally has been one of the best in Georgia. However, I was very disappointed. I was looking for a Beretta PX4 Storm in .40. No one had any PX4s in any caliber. There were mostly Glocks and Springfield XDs in poymer frame guns, along with...

How many people feel like I do, that now is the time to stock up on guns, hi capacity magazines, and gun parts? It is now 18 months until we have another president, and who knows who that will be? If it is Hillary Clinton, we can be guaranteed she will push for a Draconian gun ban. If Rudy...
