    The Most Reliable .308 Semiauto Rifle

    Glad to hear your 7400 problems are possibly a thing of the past. To the DSA crowd of FAL supproters, I agree DSA makes a fine rifle, I'm just saying that someone who knows what they're doing can make a reliable FN FAL or SLR clone with as much reliability. You then have money left over...

    Pretend to be an ''anti'' ... could you?

    I've gone to several different Anti-gun anti-american rallys just to get to know the enemy. I even signed up for that stupid million moron mommy newsletter to see just what they're up to. Signed up for the meet up mailing list only to find out there's only 5 people singed up in our area.LOL...

    Buying first compound bow

    Actually the intensity is the quietest bow I've ever shot out of the box! I have no string silencers on it. I did however put limbsavers, and the SVL handgrip on it for insulation purposes.

    Hatchets...

    The hawk is a wonderful CQB tool, thousands of DEAD British, Americans and Indians can't be wrong! LOL I bought mine locally about 12-14 years ago from a local smith who hand makes them. He uses the old fashioned method of welding a harder piece of steel for the face of the hawk to softer...

    What are some good NON compound bows?

    To determine draw length, draw an arrow back and mark it at the point in which it is even with the front of the bow. This is your draw length. (you can go to any archery shop and they should have a lightweight bow set up for this ) The only drawback to getting a new traditional bow is...

    The Most Reliable .308 Semiauto Rifle

    Artherd, There shouldn't be any grease in your 7400 as from the factory. We use a rust preventitive dip on all parts, not Cosmoline as in military guns. You may want to pick up some of the older factory magazines without the plastic baseplate if you come by some. (The new ones are made in...

    Our "Union " got all nervous when the members voted down the contract last time, we have a 2 tier system new guys gt paid as much as $2.50 LESS than guys that had been there for a while. There's also mre benefits for the older guys than the newer. Our union doesn't do a thing for the workers.

    The Most Reliable .308 Semiauto Rifle

    J Man Why DSA? Don't you think you could save yourself money by either putting one together from an all matching STG58 kit or having anohter smith build it for you for less money? My G1 shoots about 2 1/2 MOA and I built it myself. I've also had 2 other builds by gunsmiths before...

    The Most Reliable .308 Semiauto Rifle

    I'll tell you from personal experiance that the 742/7400 series of rifles are good for hunting applications, but I personally would not want to go into a situation that my life depended on them.(issues with both the gas system and magazines) As for your 7400 and malfunctioning, remove all...

    Buying first compound bow

    See my original thread about the Firebrand Technologies Intensity bow. I too have shoulder problems, and decided on the Intensity because of it. Considerations were: Adjustable drawweight within my limitations (bad shoulder that needs to go under the knife) O- 90% letoff Be able...

    The Most Reliable .308 Semiauto Rifle

    My choice in sand or snow would be the Galil, and the FAL with sand cuts in the carrier. Earlier in this thread someone made mention to the "Crest Test" I believe it was SWAT or SOF that ran the test where toothpaste was applied to a mag full of ammo. In extreme cold I run My G1 FAL dry...

    Remington Shut Down!

    Tropical, The 597 is make in Mayfield KY. and the guys here in Ilion don't think much of it. We do make some parts for the 597 here at the Ilion plant. I own one and haven't had too many problems with it other than the crappy plastic mags (I bought 6 for like $2.95 ea.) I've since...

    Remington Shut Down!

    I thank you all for the kind words, and I wish I could tell you specifics. Unfortunately if I did I'd be putting myself in a situation that Remington may be able to discern who I may be. I've told you all the tip of the iceberg, and I feel alot better having vented some frustration here. I...

    The Unhijacked Remington shutdown thread.

    That is a good question....All I know is that all the foremen and some office personell are there at this time. My feeling, and this is conjecture on my part is that they may be getting Remington ready to sell. I , and 900 hourly workers are layed off until a start back date of 5 January...
