    since school is out for the summer i've taken a job working in the kitchen at a family friend's restaurant, i do pretty much anything that is asked of me and usually end up cutting open a lot of boxes and then cutting them up for to fit in the dumpster. i don't usually carry a knife so i thought...

    a question for those with the AK/SAR-1/etc.

    i have an AMD-65 that was built up from a kit on an OOW reciever and recently discovered something unusual. if i pull the bolt carrier back slowly it will lock just short of the recoil spring's full compression. it will not do this when i fire it, just when i pull it back somewhat slowly. it...

    the view from here.

    i'm trying to decide on a new optic for my SP-1 and have read through several dozen threads on the subject but really can't get a good feel for any of them without a view through the sight. i'm leaning towards a 1x collimator sight but i am wondering what some of the higher power sights like the...

    XM8 question.

    from what i understand the XM8, as it is to be fielded, has no true iron sights. instead it has a battery powered optic that has a back-up reticle etched into the glass to allow use even if the batteries die or the reticle washes out. my question is this; does anyone forsee a problem with...

    watching too many movies is bad for your bank account.

    alright, i admit that after seeing 28 days later i went out and bought a bunch of mags and ammo(before i thought 90 rounds and 3 mags was enough). the main factor in my doing this was the scene where the british soldier is hiding under the bed and screaming "i'm out of bullets!" before getting...

    i bought a nylon 66 as a plinker a few years back and it's been functioning fine. until yesterday. i had a failure to extract and after working the action a few times the bolt locked back and won't budge. i've heard these things are a beast to reassemble after repairs and want to know if there...
