    So,... Radical Firearms? Tell me about them

    Like a whole lot of folks, I have firearms but didn't have an AR; but the last few months have convinced me that a lightweight semiauto with multiple high capacity mags isn't a bad thing to have around. I know this isn't the best time to be looking for anything, but on the other hand, it...

    how much does caliber affect your purchases?

    This is for those that have "more than a couple" guns, and add more on a regular basis. I might be one :o, you know if you are too. I've recently posted in threads about the Beretta 81, and the "Is 40 dead" thread, and these both pertain to this question. Caliber definitely drives my buying...

    So, who here has jumped on the Beretta 81?

    I bought one yesterday from Classic, as soon as my friend texted me ($209 + s/h). And I mean, AS SOON- he sent me the link, I looked, and placed an order before I responded to him :o I see that AIM started this wave, the day before, with similar priced. Before this, the 81 has been scarce and...

    "Make your own" CZ99 mags... a question

    Ok, I have purchased an inexpensive CZ99, and thus far the only issue I have found is scarcity of affordable magazines. The Beretta 92 series mags fit, but you need to cut a notch in the front for the mag to lock in. I have sucessfully tested this out and can confirm. Now, my current...

    Another question about my VZ 24

    I posted in another thread that I inherited a VZ 24 from my dad, that thread was focused on an ammunition question. This is another issue: I noted that the gun's finish is a little rough, that isn't quite accurate. The Lion crest is scrubbed off but still slightly visible, and the only other...

    Czech VZ 24 and Romanian 8mm ammo?

    Recently inherited my father's VZ 24, and it was a joy to shoot it for the first time the other day. I had some surplus Czech ammo that came with it, on stripper clips. Don't have much left, and I see that surplus ammo has really become scarce for this gun. In searching, I've come across some...

    Anyone reload 7.65 Argentine?

    I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser, it's a sweet shooter and my son really enjoys it. We've got a goodly supply of PPU ammo, which is reasonably priced, and more importantly, we've been saving the brass as we go. Seems the PPU is produced in batches, and it took me quite a bit of searching to...

    Zastava CZ 99

    Another "obscure gun" thread. These pistols have been floating around on the market awhile, and I got one from Cole's Distributing for $195 + s/h. This was from the Ugly Gun Special selection, but honestly, the gun I received isn't any "uglier" than the pictures on the more expensive prices...

    Any guess on the next surplus deal?

    I've gotten in on the Eastern Bloc 9x18 run, I have a EG Makarov, a PA 63, a P64, and a CZ 82. I got one of the FEG Hi Power clones from Cole's. A pre-B CZ 75 from Robertson's (and recently another from Cole's). I picked up a Star Super B, and later saw but sat out the Beretta 92S run. I did get...

    Matching handguns with ammo- same country of origin?

    This is just a little curiosity on my part. I plan on shooting my regular choice of range ammo through my pistols, but I'm considering getting one box of ammo that is from the same country as that pistol (something to put alongside each gun). If possible, the preferred ammo brand from the...
