    OKO Red Dot help - any place to get service/parts/mount?

    Got an OKO Red Dot as part of a deal for an AR, and when I removed the red dot and inspected it, it appears that the underside plastic is a bit cracked, and that the four areas that clamp on to the rail of the AR are somewhat stripped, loose, and one housing for the screw is cracked/broken...

    Approximate value of this AR upper

    I have an opportunity to buy new AR rifle for what appears to be a decent price. I only want the complete lower from it. What could I reasonably expect to get from this upper, complete? If you wouldn't mind breaking each major component down as well regarding value, I'd appreciate that too...

    Recommend a good value hunting knife

    I have a Buck knife with curved blade, about 3"-3.5" long blade, half of it serrated. I feel like, for hunting small-medium game, I might need something else. Maybe something with a gut-hook, no serration, similar length blade. What is a good value (i.e. not ultra-cheap, but good quality...

    Woot! My zebra skin is done!

    My taxidermist in Namibia just sent me an email saying my skulls, horns, and skins will be done by end of month and shipped soon - probably have them by Christmas. I was concerned for my zebra skin, due to the bullet holes, but it looks incredible! I can't wait! PS - for details...

    Romanian Trainer Rifle problem

    I have a 1969 Romanian Trainer rifle. I've never been able to get it to feed rounds from the magazine properly. They always get "hung up" in the process of going from the mag to the bore. I thought it was the mag, but I just got a brand new one and am still having this problem. I think I...

    Turning a Mossberg 500 Defender into a hunting shotgun - how to?

    OK, I have a 7-shot Mossberg 500 12ga. I would like to turn it into a hunting shotgun that can use a longer than 20" choked barrel. From what I understand, I will have to change the barrel AND the magazine tube, correct? Will I also need to get a new mag spring, end-knob (hopefully one...

    First hunting shotgun - advice needed - thanks!

    Wife and I are interested in going out small game hunting, and many of the areas we are looking at only allow shotguns. We'd like to get an inexpensive shotgun for this - type of action doesn't really matter too much to me - I just want to get into a shotgun that doesn't suck for as little...

    Double rifle recommendations?

    OK, looking for a good "do-it-all" rifle for going out hunting everything from squirrles/rabbits up to deer and feral hogs - here in Florida. I'm thinking that a double rifle in .308 or /30-06, plus a 12gauge or 20 gauge would do the trick - this way I can load it up with good medium game...

    2 questions about 6.8mm AR - Does anyone make a chrome bolt for 6.8mm AR?

    1 - Anyone make a chrome bolt for the 6.8mm AR? 2 - Is the bolt carrier group (everything but the bolt and extractor) on a 6.8mm the SAME exact thing as the one on a 5.56 AR? Meaning, if you already had a 5.56 bolt carrier group, could you then just use a 6.8mm bolt with it in a 6.8mm AR...

    Getting a 5.45x39 upper built - a few questions for you experts regarding parts

    Questions: 1 - Since I'll be using mostly corrosive ammo, will it be an advantage if I get a chrome carrier and bolt and firing pin (basically, almost everything I can get chrome in the upper, get it)? Since I'll be getting the gas piston modification, would it really behoove me to get the...

    Having a hell of a time deciding on new AR upper

    OK, here are my requirements - tell me if what I'm asking is unattainable, or if you have other ideas other than what I'm considering: 1 - Want it to be effective against 2 and 4 legged game of 200lbs+ at over 500 yards. Meaning, when it hits 500, 600, 800 yards I want it to still be powerful...

    Wondering if anyone has had any luck with ammo or reloads for use in a 9mm AR with a suppressor, that are JHP.

    Scope mount question

    Hey guys - I have an odd problem. Even with a scope that has 4" eye relief, I can't seem to mount my scope far forward enough so that when I place my cheek on the stock/butt of the rifle, I still am too close with my eye to get a good sight picture. I find myself pulling my head back along the...

    Going on Safari in Namibia, May-June 2008 - anyone want to tag along?

    Found a killer deal for a 7 day hunting safari in Namibia, staying at the home of a wealthy retired German doctor and his wife and staff. Huge amount of land, trophy-quality game, and the lodging, meals, drinks, and hospitality are supposedly 5-star. But the price is just too damn good - this...

    Mostly for HD but occasionally for hunting. Has a SpecOps recoil-reducing stock, heat shield, 8 round extension, everything else stock. I have a nice coupon from Cabellas and was wondering how to get another $50 on my order to use it. I have NO ammo, so I would be open to ammo...

    Anyone here own/owned an AA .21 Genghis Upper

    I have an opportunity to buy one and was wondering a few things: 1 - If you use corrosive ammo in it, like Bulgarian Surplus, do you need to immediately clean it at the range (or spray some Windex in it until you get home and clean it with hot water)? 2 - Does it feed that type of surplus...
