ETA: Ok, I re-read the title, looked at the content and realized for most of this it probably should have been in the Art of the Rifle sub-forum. So for now only look at the curio and relic portion if you are here. I have deleted the non C/R stuff. I have an M1903 that is sporterized (ugh) and...

Ok, so I am watching this on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzKWwZBMg-M&feature=channel 1) What is the rifle he's holding at 1:13? (I think it's a Galil ETA2: Again after more thought I think it's a AK5D or something...) 2) what the heck is up with that mount for the EoTech hes got...

Now, I normally don't like the idea of using shot in a rifled barrel. However, seeing and handling the judge had me wondering - would it work to use a rifled bbl in a shotgun with buckshot? Apparently in the judge the rifling causes the shot to spread out faster over a shorter distance. Could...

Handled one at Black Sheep and TriState outfitters. One thing stuck me as odd. On initial inspection the pistol looked like a standard DAO semiautomatic. While playing with it I noticed the trigger had a lighter travel after the slide was racked with a crisp break while afterwards since the...

I recently bought my first handgun. And I am loving it. One problem: Last shot on almost every magazine sends the last brass into my face (fortunately I wear eye protection). I even had one cross midline and hit my left shoulder. I am not too enthused about this problem. Is this normal or is...

What the bickering doodads is the difference? I saw a 111 in scope package for less than 400 (came with a sling) and the 10FP's are closer to 600 (from what I saw the 110's were similar to the 10FP) So if the actions are the same, barrels are the same, would it be a better idea to buy the 111...

I have a sporterized Springfield that WAS issued in WWII. Don't really care what kind of collector value it has cause there was no matching serial number stock for it. Now at 200 yards (not meters) I have groups of about 5 to 6 inches. The stock is apparently a cheap drop in stock, plastic...

Ok I figured the "smithy" section would be the best place to post this but me and thinking don't get along too well sometimes (like late at night... oh wait that's now). Anyway, got my yugo M70B1 out to shoot for the first time. I was sleeping earlier so my dad put one round through it without...

I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have four rifles I am currently working on: Springfield M1903A4 Yugo SKS Norinco SKS Yugo AK-47 Current projects are refinishing and restoring the yugo SKS and M1903A4. I am sporterizing the Norinco SKS and tactifying(a.k.a. bubbafying) the...

What I hope to find out can be summed up in two questions: 1) How can one use serial numbers to track previous locations of firearms? 2) Where can I find a list of cartouche's for different rifles? I haven't had much luck on google or searches but maybe I typed the wrong things in the query...

Ok, I have satisfied my urges and I have had enough of long gun buying (on to the accessorizing now anyway). I am looking into getting a carry pistol. (ppl have a tendency to freak out if I walk around with an AK with a drum. Just don't see why... :rolleyes:). Anyway I have heard some scenarios...

Finally got my order straight with Del-ton. ZOMG TOO MANY CHOICES! Now it's an M4 upper 1:7 chrome lined barrel, specter gas block, rifle length YHM quad rail free float handguards. Later I will get flip up sights (maybe a detachable fixed front sight). Will go with my RRA lower reciever w/DPMS...

I know I asked a question like this before but this particular part was not completely answered. I would like to get an AK I can change out the stock, trigger, and handguards to suit my purposes. Can anyone recommend a particular model that I could tinker with but not mar in any way so as to...

I have a yugo SKS and all I want is a scout mount that leaves the ironsights alone. As in no tools to remove. Would it be legal to replace the upper handguard with a synthetic piece with a picatinny rail?

I want to modify an sks and an AK to scout mounts for optics, SKS with 1.5x-6x (already found the scope) and an AK with a red dot of some kind. What models of AK/SKS would you use for modification? Preferably older surplus maybe since I'm going all the way. SKS without bayo and as a shorter...

From what I have been reading and what I can find, it seems the 6.8 x 43 SPC is similar in length overall as the 5.56x45. If I had a 6.8 SPC upper would I need a lower designed for it as well? Or could I use a standard 5.56x45 lower?

This is a kit with uper and stripped lower. So what exactly does this need? If I got the RRA 2 stage trigger what parts are necessary to complete the lower receiver? I looked at a parts kit and it has a trigger and grip which are listed as parts in the kit. :confused: Also (asked this before)...

Would you say the '06 is good enough to take everything in the lower 48 including moose? I was under the impression it carried enough punch for even a griz at 100-150 yards at least (not that I would want to be on the ground that close to one). This question came to my mind when reading an...

Been in the market for an AR recently. This caught my eye mostly due to price. I cannot for the life of me find any info with substance on this rifle or the company. What I know is Vulcan was Hesse, Hesse had a bad rep with quality, but I have read stories about a friend of a friend who had a...

Was looking at the forums and decriptions didn't seem to fit this topic so if it's L&P (only other classification I could think of) my apologies in advance. Is a FFL required for this? http://www.del-ton.com/Rifle_Kit_p/rkt100.htm It's a rifle "kit" and I seem to remember someone somewhere...
