I'm looking to buy a military surplus bolt action rifle to shoot corrosive 8mm Turkish ammo through. It'd be great if the gun accepted 5 round stripper clips, as all my ammunition (a couple of cases) is in 5-round stripper clips. I already have in my possession a historic Mauser, so I'm fine...

I was recently able to get my hands on a few cases of 8mm Mauser all in 5 round stripper clips and in cloth bandoleers. The gun I intended to shoot it through is a family war trophy from WW II complete with papers and it's original box. Now, before you decry me for shooting a family relic...

So, I just happened upon a Norinco AK chambered in 5.56. I've been looking for a gun like this for a long time for a Definitive Arms conversion for AR magazines. I was originally looking at Saigas and Arsenals, but I didn't have the money before the ban came up, and I could have this Norinco...

So, it has recently come to my attention that a G20's can be used, safely, to fire .40 S&W. Do G40's have the same slide weight and return spring that a G20 does? Will the differences of a G40 vs. a G20 mean less reliable function with .40 S&W instead of the proper 10mm? Does anybody own a G40?

So, some of you may have followed my old thread: "Should I buy this DAO 92 for $300/$350?" (I was trying to get $250 for it--and likely I can still buy it.) It is a pretty worn gun, and I was wondering do you need a mostly new gun for Wilson to consider work, or will they fix up an old gun...

Some of you may know me and my neurosis well enough to know that I am undergoing a once internal, now public caliber debate. Caliber debates are perhaps the lowest form of dialogue (and argument) on the Firing Line or any internet forum. But, I meant it when I asked the question: Is it worth...

So, I've been pretty careful about the choices I've made in calibers so far. I only own 9mm centerfire handguns. It keeps things simple and cheap. I am well practiced with all of my handguns. NOTE: I have a .22 LR semi-auto for beginners which I almost never take to the range, though it is...

Ok, there have been these two heavily used Beretta 92 DAO's sitting at my LGS (from a big-box sporting goods store with lots of of inventory) for over a year now. The reason they are sitting there is because said store is charging $499 for them, and I am confident that they will remain there at...

I know this is me puffing up my chest a bit, but this gun is FUN. I took some modeling clay and a pack of playing cards out to the range yesterday with me. It was only from 7 yards, but I was able to cut sideways cards with only 2-3 shots typically in double-action. That and hitting a...

Does anybody have experience firing .45 Long Colt out of .460 S&W X-frame revolvers? How accurate are they with .45 Long Colt? I'm guessing .45 LC is less accurate out of a .460 S&W barrel.

So, I am sorry if I am rehashing things from a different thread, if so, I guess close this one or tell me where to go, but here goes. Since if you take a Sig-braced AR-15 pistol with a buffer tube attached and shoulder it, in the eyes of the ATF you are remanufacturing the gun and in violation...

So, I own a S&W 986, and I've been eying the 9mm Ruger LCR as a companion gun. I really like the idea of a snubbie 9mm revolver, and the Ruger LCR seemed like a good option, until today... What I discovered is that when I tip the gun (store model--which happened to be a LCR 3"--.38 special no...

I just got this letter from Sig, so some folks may have not read about this yet. I hope it's helpful. It looks to me like that the ATF still has some wiggle room on how the brace is used, but sounds like that buying and installing one is about as free and clear as you can get. Here is the...

I am new to the 1911 world, but I am interested in the type. I like how that like AR-15's and AK-47 1911's are lego-like an customizable. I am a fan of stainless steel in my firearms or at least durable finishes, because I like to run my guns a lot and I like to carry them and low maintenance...

I've always wanted stippling or texture for my XD. If my hands get too sweaty, then the gun tends to rock back and forth when I fire. And if it's a hot sunny day, my sweat will actually form a blister underneath my skin if I am firing more than 200 rounds in a sitting on a hot day. XD's in...

Venom1956 has been working on reducing my Kahr K9 grips. The original factory grips are OK, but they are hogue-style rubber and they grab my shirts and often lift them up. I purchased Kahr factory replacement grips for my K9 made of pau ferro, like the stock grips on T9's but shorter...

Very cool DW 10mm Silverback: http://cz-usa.com/product/dw-silverback-10mm-copy/ MSRP: $2,064 A very tempting 10mm offering. I bet its awesome. CZ 75 Shadow Tactical II (Custom): http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-75-shadow-tac-ii-9mm-cz-custom/ A custom CZ 75 Shadow with a non-railed frame...

At an MSRP of $1,982.00, it seems a bit pricey for a pistol, but it is a cool concept and I would love to know more about it and/or see one. Somebody should review this, hint, hint. I dig that the pistol is already setup for a sig brace as well: http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-805-bren-ps1-pistol/

Ooooooh! I need this now!: CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Pistol MSRP $849.00 It takes 9mm, the mags are supposedly around $20, and it has an adaptor for the Sig break. Sold. I guess building a pistol AR will have to wait, this is too cool. From CZ's website...

Just in case you guys want to see what it looks like, here's a 986 with JM checkered grips. I really love the way they feel. They are just barely slimmer than the Hogue rubber grips, but they feel much better to me than the finger grooves and rubber (I am weird and don't care for rubber grips...
