Hey all, I've been contemplating dropping a Yugoslavian SKS off at the Trading Post to help temporarily dig myself out of a hole. Everything on it is sound; the finish wear and the dings in the wood would make it what AIMsurplus would list as a "grade 2" rifle. In fact, its condition...

Hey all, I've been out of the gun community for awhile due to life and waning focus and passion for firearms. I came back to learn what I've missed out on, and the first thing I noticed, much to my dismay... ...Mosin Nagants are going for a good $180-200ish now! And hex-receiver variants are...

Hi all, I usually stick with milsurps and autos, so I have very little knowledge on specific makes of revolvers. But I've wanted to get a decent compact revolver for tight-spot SD and carry, and don't know exactly where to start. I was wondering what would be some good starts to look at in...

well, I must say, I love optics on my go-to rifles. Unfortunately, my converted Saiga is still without any sort of optic whatsoever. I wanted to change that, but keep in the Eastern European spirit with an Eastern European AK sight. I was thinking a Kobra or PK-AS, since I've heard so much...

went to the surplus store and a K98 caught my eye. description: byf arsenal in '41, standard parts match, electropencils everywhere, eagle proofs are visible/unpeened, finish is newish looking - most likely shellac'd, receiver has faint x, RC serial on stock (a Russian capture in late-war mode...

Hey there autoloader affectionados. I have been looking into both the P250 and the SP2022 and can't really decide which to get (if either). Unfortunately, finding one to get a bit of range time of either one has been...unlucky. Although I intend on trying them out before dropping the...

hi, sorry if I'm beating a dead horse but I'm still in the course of deciding between the two. Here is what I know (or think I know), based of factual, word-of-mouth, and/or anecdotal claims. Button rifling: -more expensive to make barrels, but since the machining is everywhere, many...

I've been looking into getting a levergun soon (most likely in .357 or .44 mag) for general shooting and because I do not have any example of the platform in my collection. I've noticed that Marlin and Rossi generally have a $100-130 difference in price, with Rossi being the less expensive...

I am thinking in the near future of building or buying another AR. It would be something more delegated for long-range/bench shooting. The current one I have is my middie that is (permanently) set up as my carbine. I have two ideas: 20" AR-15, or go with a good AR-10. With the AR-15...

so I purchased a new Yugo SKS. It's mostly a rebuilt/arsenal gun with non-matching numbers, but in good condition with a good bore. I cleaned it up and it has turned out better than what I expected for $185. My problem now is that the gas shut-off is stuck. It is stuck in the 'corner'...

This question came to me while cleaning my AR. I maybe only go out once a month with that. Sometimes, even less. I at least make one good outing every 4-6 weeks and get some good shooting in with it, though. I remember reading how to lube only the main moving parts for short-term or patrol...

I was shipping back a defective/unsatisfactory weapon to the distributor for a refund. I decided to wonder why it had been two weeks after delivery and had not received a confirmation of delivery. So, I check the tracking info, and the gun has been 'in transit' in the hub that is supposed to...

So, if you saw the underfolder AK thread, you may have saw my unfortunate realization that I got a lemon for my Yugoslavian M70AB2 Underfolder. I got it from AIM, who said I could either send it to them for exchange or return, or send it to Century for repair. I've never sent back anything...

I picked up my new Yugo M70AB Underfolder. Looks good. The problem is that I cannot seat all of my mags in it. Some just quite simply do not make it far enough to the catch. Some, however, do just fine, but fight so tightly that removing them requires a good squeeze of the hand. I'm...

I was looking through my collection and was thinking: "Wow, I have quite a few of certain rifles, calibers, etx." So, what is everyone's addictive and guilty pleasure when it comes to rifles? What is that one _____ that you can't seem to have enough of? Mosins? ARs? AKs? Milsurps in general...

Now, this is not exactly a debate on which gun is better. Instead, this is more about their technical specs, if such things are comparable. Whenever someone discusses or looks up an AR, you have a vast arsenal of topics regarding many things that go into the process of making one: MPI and HPT...

Let's say I find a nice 1911 with the adjustable target sights, and it has (what seems to be) the "novak" cut to allow other rear sights. What kind of fitting would be needed exactly? Would this be a gunsmithing job to say the least?

I narrowed down my choices. Jeez, this is hard. I'm looking real hard at: -Taurus PT1911 (stainless) -Springfield loaded (stainless) -Kimber Custom II -S&W 5" stainless Out of these four choices, which one would you personally go with and why? What are some pros and cons of each to...

I looked around at 1911s today. Once I get the money, I'm gonna get one. I was looking for opinions and reviews on some brands though. I looked at Kimber Custom II and a classic, two Para Ord. (GI expert and the P14-45 double-stack), and a Springfield loaded. For uses, it would possibly...

So, I decided that it was time to owe some more money to my bank, and picked up a Garand and an M1 Carbine at what I thought were much better prices; I guess Christmas was hurting some people's wallets moreso than mine. Decided that it was now or never to grab them. I picked up an Underwood...
