Just got my latest SGN (if you subscribe, go to the mailbox and follow along). On the cover is a big photo of "DSA's Gas Trap Carbine." Really. Article inside, its an AR with a FAL gas plug and a pistol, etc. Not apparently a ZM or anything else. A few photos, and a writeup by Fortier. No...

On this FAL I have the front sling point attached to a sort of slider made out of gutted 550 cord. The ideal way, as it was set up this morning, is not exactly like in the photo. Instead, its secured to the T-48 style point from Tapco on the right, and passes just rear of the gas adjustment port...

Lets say you have a Sig550 (or a G36?) and the mags have those cute things that let you clip them together to carry a bunch at once. How do you put them in mag pouches. They certainly take up more than one space in a .223 mag pouch for say, M4s. I can get them into .308 pouches, but they still...

Stumbled across this on a Navy times article: http://www.militarycity.com/bookstorex/multimedia.htm I haven't seen it, and probably won't order it, but thought someone here might love it.

Just read an article in SAR about the L12A1 kit for converting the L1A1 (or, I'll bet with some tweaking the FAL) to .22 LR. Good review, product seems to be very reliable, etc. Often SAR will have info on how to get them at the end, or tell you that none were imported but the one he fired...

My PSS rarely, but repeatably, jams up while I am loading it. I wanna know if anyone else has encountered an issue like this, and of course what I should try to do about it. Basically, cartridges in the left position (#2 or 4 when loading) can go a tad left of where they should be, and get...

Front vertical grips, especially RIS add-ons for ARs and such, seem to be all the rage based on discussion and the number and variety now sold. The thing is, I don't get it. Rifles seem fine to me with horizontal grips, and no part of any of my rifle training indicates you want anything else...

Gun parts corp has some "originals" (no details on markings, so who knows if that means Armalite) for a good price. See or buy them here. Only $36. I got rid of my Howa because I couldn't find good mags for a decent price years ago. This seems a hell of a deal if anyone still shoots their...

A friend of mine was insisting that the BAR (M1918, etc.) was a two-shot burst weapon. Besides the fac that he was just wrong, I also was thinking that burst counters were not around in WW2. Normally I have at least an inkling of this sort of thing, or can find out, but I can't find anything...

Well, at least back home. I was watching a show on German POWs in the US, and there were a bunch of photos of them being escorted off the train in this one town (apparently they didn't build a siding into the camp, just marched 'em all thru the middle of town). Plenty of cops around, with...

I could just be feeling very negative today, but I feel this is bad in every way. Even having it exist on the planet increases our move towards gimmick and away from just teaching and practicing marksmanship. http://www.armaster.com/htm/stock_pivot_adaptorSPA1.htm Don't miss the...

When I first got my FAL (gear Imbel StG clone, actually) I messed with the gas a lot, and managed to make it not run much. Finally, sanity took over and I just stuck it at 5, and its run since then. However, I've been wondering where everyone else runs their gas port. Has anyone had good...
