Here's my strange story: I had disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my 870 express (it has a mag tube extension that makes the total capacity 7+1). After assembly, I attempted to load it and found that it would only accept 5 rounds in the tube instead of the usual 7. I took the extension...

Hello everyone, I have some questions regarding the carvings on my Yugo 59/66 SKS. I like guns and history, so I love knowing the history of my guns. If there's an SKS guru out there who can explain these, I would be very grateful. I know these are the Serbian coat of arms. Which...

I'm going to travel to The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Russia this summer, but I know nothing of these countries' knife laws. Can anyone give a brief description of these countries' laws or direct me to a place where I could find them? Would my CRKT M16-10KZ be...

I ran across the recent story of two individuals who were killed after a heated argument led to a sword fight. The story was interesting enough, but when I read the comments, I couldn't help but laugh. Nearly every comment says something along the lines of "This is why we need instant sword...

I was handling my Cub Scout knife from back in the day and noticed that when opening the knife, the blade locks in the 90 degree position before locking in the fully opened position. Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? Also, with Camillus gone, who makes Cub Scout/Boy Scout knives...

So yesterday I finally went out to test my "new to me" used Remington 870 Express. When I got it, it appeared well used, but not abused. It functioned almost flawlessly. I fired a total of around 250 rounds, using Waly World's cheapest Remington #8 shot, Waly World cheapest Winchester 9...

I'm going shooting tomorrow, but I didn't have a way to carry my Remington 870's ammunition. Suddenly, I had an idea. I started loading rounds into the surplus, three AR mag pouches on my load bearing deal and sure enough, they fit perfectly! I loaded four to a row, alternating directions...

I live in a nice neighborhood: nothing too fancy, but not bad either. My neighborhood has been relatively crime-free. Last summer, at approximately 2:00 AM, my mother was awakened by three loud bangs coming from the front door. She barely woke up (she is a heavy sleeper), assumed she must...

Hello everyone, Just curious, are Winchester Super X shells crap? Although I have not yet had a chance to shoot any, the corrosion of the brass and the sloppy logo stamp kinda concerned me. Edit: Yay, hundredth post!

Hi everyone, What metal are sks bayonets made from (the blade style, not the spikes)? A magnet will stick to it, but the light weight and anodized aluminum look and feel make me think it can't be steel.

Hi everyone, This question has been plaguing my mind for ages. Is there a blade length limit for folders in CA? I've heard that there wasn't a limit, I've heard that there was a limit (4 inches), I've heard that the limit is your palm width, I've heard that it's the cop's hand width, and I've...

Hi everyone: A friend of mine found an old-ish looking wax paper, live 12 guage round out in the desert. It's still in very good condition though. Does anybody know when they stopped making those? Just curious how old it is.

Do Red Dot or other holographic type scopes go well with shotguns?

I've noticed that many people on this forum seem to dislike pistol grips on shotguns. Why is this? For HD, isn't a pistol grip a good thing? What are some Pro's and Con's of pistol grips?

Hello everyone: Does anyone know how many turns are required to wind the spring in a Chinese 100 round AK drum magazine? I know the 75 round drum takes 7 turns but I can't find any info regarding the 100 round drum.

Hello everyone, I have searched high and low for the answer to this question and I have found several conflicting answers. Is it legal to own a butterfly knife with a blade longer than 2" at home as long as you do not let it leave your house? Some say that butterfly knives are all illegal...

Hello everyone, As I looked through the Blue Book of Gun values and viewed all the different versions of the 870 Express (Express Turkey, Express Deer Gun, Express Junior, etc.), I wondered if one of those guns will actually say that full name on the side of the receiver, or if it will just...

As mentioned in my other thread about the Sako V, I'm trying to identify some guns that I'm helping my Uncle sell. Another rifle that's kinda confusing me is a Remington 700. I looked it up in the Blue Book of Gun Values and there were countless variants. The one I have here has engraving on...

Hello everyone, I am assisting my uncle in selling some guns. One of them is labled "Sako V" however, I can't find that name in the Blue Book of Gun Values. It's a 300 Remington Ultra Mag and it's made in Finland. Is there an alternate name for it? Or was it made after the book's publication...

Just curious what everyone's favorite knife brands are
