Now that you can supposedly get high-caps for the SAIGA sporter rifles, they would seem to be one of the best buys out there. I am planning on getting one of the 7.62x39 models soon. CDNN has them pretty cheap, not as cheap as they were last year, but... I noticed on the EAA website that...

Any idea if 20 or 30 round mags will be imported for the SAIGA?

There is an unusual rifle at a local shop. Chinese sporter type rifle, has a holder for two mags built into the buttstock. Quality looks very good. The trigger guard appears to be aluminum, it is grey and kind of bead blasted. The rest of the gun is nicely blued. Stock isn't walnut, but...

I just noticed that http://www.thefiringline.com is back online. How long has that been the case? I thought it was closed for good and visited there recently to search the archives only to find that it was back up and running. Now I'll have to waste twice as much time on the internet reading...

Does anyone here own a Brno #4? It is the heavy barrel model with globe front sight and open rear sight. This gun in question does not have the rear peep sight and the stock appears to be a hardwood, but not walnut or anything nice. Stock is dinged up a bit, but the action and barrel are...

Just had to brag about my latest find. A pre-B CZ-75 made in 91. Came with two mags. No box or anything, but this one is a shooter. I think the trigger is a little better on my 85 Combat, but I have installed a lighter hammer spring on that one and shot is a bunch. The CZ-75 shown in the...

Importer has these .32 Crvena Zastava M-70 guns. Blowback .32 made in Yugoslavia. Not to be confused with the CZ-70 made in Czech Republic! Anyone seen, shot owned one of these things? Price is $160 + transfer. They are all steel. The quality of Yugo SKS's is pretty good. Got me...

Recently traded a Ruger MKII for a Kahr K-9 Elite 98. I am also applying for a CCW permit in Washington state. Mostly so I don't have to wait to pickup future purchases, but might actually carry at times. Also would be nice to have a gun in the car at times. I have shot IDPA and have a...

I bought some Bulgarian waffle mags for $9.95 from K-Var. Others have mentioned that they thought they were all plastic. The ones I got appear to be plastic molded around a thin metal body. You can see metal on the inside near the feed lips and the notch on the front of the mag is metal as...

I was considering putting on an ATI stock for this SKS Sporter, but decided to modify it with a Dremel in the meantime. I think it really improved the looks and feel of the grip. Sanded the whole stock and finished it with some clear deck oil that I had laying around (mostly linseed oil...

Looking for a good local gunsmith to work on a couple S&W revolvers. I am in central Washington State (Wenatchee). Any good ones out there?

I'm going to re-stock my SKS Sporter. It is one of the models that takes AK mags and has a shorter barrel. No bayo lug though. It seems I'm limited to the ATI stocks since nobody else makes them for the AK magwell versions of SKS's. Monte Carlo vs. the Drugunov (Fiberforce) style...

Has anyone used the B-Sqare scope mounts that they list on their website for pre-93 Smiths that are not drilled an tapped for a mount already? How do they attach? There is no picture on their web page. It says something about using the rear sight screw holes as recoil lug. A guy at the...

I recently bought a Smith and Wesson model 17-4. It has the 8 3/8 inch barrel. I would like to mount a scope on it. I already have a decent Swift 2x scope, but would like to find a proper mount. I have looked on the net, and it appears that I might have to drill and tap the gun. I don't...

I finally got some time to put a scope on my Biathlon Basic rifle today. The only extra one I had was an old Weaver K4. The scope has seen better days, but has clear glass. After getting it mounted I went out to the back yard and started plinking and adjusting the scope. I set up an old...

Well, I finally got to pick up my 17-4 today. It has an 8 3/8 barrel and the larger target stocks. Trigger and hammer are the narrower ones (at least narrower than the very wide trigger/hammer on my 27-2). The long barrel balances very well for me. The large grips fit my hands very well...

I was attending a meeting today in a small town near here. For lunch I decided to walk downtown and go into a pawnshop that sometimes has good deals. They had a tricked out 870 that they wanted $700 for! Pass. Then I decided to go into the hardware store across the street. Years ago I...

Subject line says it all pretty much. I have a beautiful 27-2 that I would like to have fixed. It is a minor glitch, but it keeps me from enjoying the gun. 1 out of 6 chambers on the cylinder touches the back of the forcing cone. This means the trigger pull is great on 5/6 shots. One drags...

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=S%26W+model+changes&hl=en&lr=&selm=3mf37r%24op6%40xring.cs.umd.edu&rnum=13 It needs to be updated, but still useful. I dug it up again since I just put money down on a Model 17-4 today. It has the 8+ inch barrel. I like the way the long barrel balances...

I just got an e-mail from Havlin sales. I had previously asked about a 1" mount for my Mossy 44. They said they were actually working on one and would send me an e-mail when they were in production. I don't work for them or anything, but have had good service in the past. Here is the e-mail...
