I'm looking for a good scope to put on my FAL, for under $500. I will be using the DSA mount, so I'm pretty sure it will be steady enough. Most of my shooting will be between 80 and 280 yards (longest range nearby), but I'd like it to be able to go out to 500 yards or so. However, I...

I'm looking for a muzzle brake which is post-ban OK for a FAL. The O.D. of the barrel is approx 15mm. DSArms has two, and JPAR15 has one that is supposedly very effective, but it's about 2" wide! I'm looking for one that does not increase overall length very much, and isn't wider than the...

I'll probably attract lots of flames for this, but I've recently concluded that whoever designed the AR-15 action had been sniffing too much Hoppes #9. I came to this revelation after carefully inspecting, firing, and disassembling a FAL (Imbel & STG58 kit) -- it's cleaner, easier to take...

The show so far is really pro- ! Amazing! -z

Is there any really good scope mount for a FAL? I've searched the archives, but never found a definitive answer. If there is no really good scope mounting system, then I will have to re-think my priorities... thanks!

What the heck are "target knobs" on rifle scopes? The scopes I've used in the past only had two zero knobs, and a power selector (3-9). thanks Zak

Just about everyone I have spoken to or read books by, has said that if you are ever in a situation where you have to use a firearm in self-defense, you should always speak to "your lawyer" as soon as possible, and definitely before being questioned by police. I want to find a lawyer for this...

I understand that Christians are very sensitive about government control and intrusion into their lives. And almost by definition, they have (.. or should ..) clearly defined moral parameters, and an idea of good and evil. Being active on many of our favorite forums (TFL, glocktalk...

I am looking for a holster to use when tromping around in the woods, and "range" use. I think the main criteria are: fits on a 2.25" USGI belt, and that the gun won't fall out. Some concealment/cover is OK, and is probably an advantage. I'd probably want to get one for a USP and a Glock...

I was just watching a show ("Both Sides") hosted by Jesse Jackson, with Larry Pratt of GOA, vs. Naomi -- from HCI. Larry was calm, genial, full of facts, and good arguments like "criminals will always be able to get guns, we need to make it easy to defend ourselves." Why can't the NRA...

Does anyone know of a forward "scout"-style scope mount for a FN-49? I want to mount a scope, but still want to be able to load with stripper clips. thanks!

A local gun shop has a couple FN-49's in 8x57. These particular rifles were stamped Fabrique Nationale, but I didn't think to look for any other information at the time. Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good? The price was around $500, but that store's prices are...

At the gun-show today, a vendor had two Springfield Armory SAR-8 rifles, for around $1050. I have learned that S.A. can no longer produce these by decree of the ATF. Can someone enlighten me as to a. the legality of "jow schmuck" (ie: me) owning the rifle b. quality? c. cost /...

I received my application for a non-resident Florida CCW in the mail a while back. I noticed that it has a field for my Social Security Number. In the packet, it does not explicitly say this must be filled in (like it says "POB, SEX, RACE, HGT, WGT, etc must all be filled out") -- however, it...

First question: What is the difference between the Trijicon Reflex and the Reflex II? 2nd question: is the triangle reticle on the Reflex pointing up or down? (I'd think you'd want it pointing down for long-range shooting). 3rd question: Is there any advantage of the Aimpoint Comp-M over the...

Is it legal (for all parties involved) for someone (possibly a dealer) in CA to sell a "high-capacity" magazine to a person outside of CA - assuming it is otherwise legal to own in the buyer's state? From reading SB23 on the CA DOJ web-site, I would think that it's OK for the buyer, but...

I know when you buy a handgun from a dealer, they must record the serial number. Is this true for rifles as well, or do their records only say "long gun" ? thanks Zak

I am a newbie to AR-15 type rifles, but have been shooting various other conventional rifles for a long time (target 22's, .30-30, .30-06, .270, 7x57, etc, both scoped and iron). When I look on the Bushmaster web site, I see flat-top and carry-handle versions of the otherwise same rifle setup...
