    British sniper rifle

    Talking to some friends of mine who went to the Mesquite gun show over the weekend. They came across a British .303 mk4 sniper rifle with matching scope. Can anyone fill me in on the history of this gun? I didnt know the Brits did much or any sniping in WW2. BTW the guy wanted $2800 for the gun.

    Norinco 870

    Went to the Market Hall show in Dallas today and saw one dealer with a Norinco copy of a Remington 870. It had a 7 round tube (I think) with rifle sights and a hooded ghost ring rear. The dealer had it tied down with an alarm system and didnt get to play with it but it looked pretty good. I've...

It was throwing the...
