    Winchester 9417 Legacy

    This is the 2nd outing for me and I like it a lot better now. The first time I was not impressed with the 17 HRM but then it was a windy day. Thursday was fairly calm though and it destroyed cans with attitude for a rimfire. I still think 22 mag has more thump but I like this rifle. It's...

    I'm starting to think Chinese rifles are underrated.

    I recall back in the 60's hearing that the best most reliable full auto weapons were made by "those GD red Chinese". My pre ban Polytech 84 semi 223 AK is very accurate and reliable. I have a pre ban Chinese SKS honour guard rifle that is beautiful, I've never shot it. I saw a Chinese M14...

    What are some good machinegun targets?

    I have liked discarded propane cylinders when I can find them but I can't find them anymore. Ideas?

    Arsenal SA M5

    I just fired my Arsenal SA M5 today for the first time. Lots of fun dancing cans over the top of the berm. It worked great with circle 10 waffle mags, promag not so much. Ammo was wolf gold 55 fmj. Hard to fit longer bullets into an AK mag, no big deal in my book. I love the rifle. My...

    Browning BL22

    Anybody else like this rifle? Very easy to cycle with a short stroke. I have one and it is the usual high quality Browning. For its price point you don't see this kind of build quality often these days. I've killed many a birdfeeder robbing squirrel with this rifle and Remington CBee CB...

    Krinkov SBR: 5.45 or 5.56/223? Arsenal or Saiga?

    Nothing wrong with 7.62x39 except my range disallows it; hence my choice is 5.45 or 5.56. The shop where I can trade has an Arsenal 5.45 SBR ready to go. the downside to 5.45 is ammo availability. There is still some cheap 7N6 but it is corrosive. There is Wolf and Hornady. I'm not overly...

    Why 300 blackout instead of 7.62x39?

    Ammo isn't as cheap or even available, so what's the point? Am I missing something or is it just a passing fancy?

    anyone else a Daewoo fan?

    I consider them underrated. I have a DR200 and a K2. I saw a DR200 for sale at a good price, I'd be all over it like a bum on a baloney sandwich if I didn't already have one. I don't have a dog in the hunt but I love Daewoo rifles. http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=255785

    Sledgehammer

    I picked up my Rossi 454 from Steve's Gunz today. I noticed there were some big limestone rocks in the backstop that got pushed up by the dozer. Had fun busting them all to hell.

    Anybody have a Ruger model 96 lever rifle in 17 HMR?

    I don't like the crossbolt safety being a lefty but its probably reversible.

    I had a hoot shooting golfballs with my Marlin 39 yesterday

    If you hit them just right, they fly even with just 22 LR, I was surprised. I thought it would take 22 mag minimum. Mine was made in the 50's and has a long barrel. I'm not sure how long but it holds 18 long rifle. My only complaint is the barrel marked for short, long, and long rifle but it...

    Saiga vs. Arsenal 223/5.56

    What are the pros and cons? Is one better and if so why? Are mags the same?

    winchester 9422

    Anybody else love this rifle? I had the magnum out last week. I also have one in 22 long rifle but I prefer the magnum for making cans dance though ammo is scarce still for some reason.

    pre-bans

    I have several pre-bans (Daewoo, Galil, Valmet, Armalite AR180, FN FS2000) I love but I'm curious if there is something I don't know about. I'm especially interested in 223/5.56 caliber (only because of stupid range restrictions in my area).

    piston AR that is And for that matter, how does it stack up against other piston ARs and the light SCAR?

    steel case 5.56 ammo quality/cost

    Is Wolf and TulAmmo comparable in quality? Or does it matter where AKs are concerned as they will handle anything you can throw at it?
