Carry permit is normally a 90-day wait. UNLESS, I am told, you are female, sometimes it will be expedited. Greenville is a nice Southern town with a large carpetbagger population so you won't be too out of place. If you come to Greenville make sure you get a house on the East side of town. I...

I would just get a new handguard in a matching colour.

I'm mostly a rifle guy but I think SAA-style revolvers are super. I don't need a super nice one, basically one that goes bang everytime and I wouldn't feel guilty about slogging through the swamp with it. (We have a lot of those in VT). Basically need an inexpensive one. What make should I...

Mm...storage? Vehicle transport? Packing it long distances or in the woods? Any number of reasons.

That is natural in Southern Africa.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you haven't had to reinforce the floor, you don't have enough.

Video doesn't work for me. I get audio but the video hangs very badly. Using both VLC and WMP.

I concur with the above--if the Mauser is otherwise unaltered PLEASE leave it be as it is much more valuable and historical that way. There are also other, non-permanent iron sights options available if the originals are tough on your eyes.

Good on you! I only have one "serious" rifle and that is the SKS. I would like others but it does just fine for now. I have a lot more rounds through mine than most people and it shoots great.

We've always had them more or less because we've always needed them. Although I think reality is often different, Southerners like to think of themselves as independent and self-reliant and guns are a way to exercise that attitude. That and we like loud, shiny objects...like trucks...bass...

I believe there is a 1000yd range in the Charlotte area. I am near Avenger29 in Greenville county. We have the Greenville Gun Club and I believe they go out to 600 yds. The South is pretty gun friendly but once you get away from the larger cities like Charlotte it is not so much a sport as a...

I'm sitting on top of a wooded knoll in the Southeast looking across a pasture. 100 yds away a coyote walks the treeline. I line up the mojo sights on my 24/47, put some pressure the Huber match triiger and send a lead tip through his heart. That would be a good day.

SKS's were produced by many countries in dozens of factories. Accuracy varies widely. My understanding is that the Yugo 59/66 models are the most consistent in quality. I have one as well and it is about a 2MOA rifle. it will do anything an AR will do out to about 300 yds.

Lots of good info here. Only thing I will add is that the SKS is a GREAT $200 rifle and some are quite accurate. All of its shortcomings can be remedied with aftermarket parts but IMHO that is a waste of time and you may never be quite happy. If you need a >200 yds lead hose then get a...

Same type of story here in upstate SC. Guy I know was walking his dog just outside the suburbs and came up on a cougar/panther camped out by a haystack not but a few feet away. No question on ID because his GSD was right there for size comparison and the cat was bigger than the dawg. Sometimes...

I have seen a Persian Mauser fired by a non mil-trained person at a head-sized target twice in six seconds and hit the target. Actually he did it 4 times in a row with no misses. The gentleman was not trying to prove anything. He was just a very good shot. It can certainly be done. Simply a...

Any model of Mosin is perfectly fine for deer hunting. Like any rifle, you will want to make sure it is sighted in correctly with your hunting ammo. Also be confident in your ability to make a killing shot.

Too bad you didn't consider the FAL! Professional, lean like a cheetah...a man's rifle.

to add to what other folks have said, there is such a thing as an accurate, yes, many of them are more accurate than AR's. That said you will have to spend a little more money to get a nicer one. I would never buy a $500 Romainian with the expectation of being other than a bullet hose. Of course...

Mauser box style, fed with stripper clips. :evil:
