Nice MP 40... http://www.king5.com/topstories/stories/NW_012309WAB-weapons-stash-LJ.20858484.html

I prefer the look of a rounded trigger guard on just about everything except very blocky guns like the Glock or XD. My question is how many people here hold the front of the trigger guard in their grip?

List of companies that may be price gouging after Nov.5 I think this is a good idea. Don't pay fear-taxes. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=783339

Here's a topic I haven't read: Front sight varieties. I'm wondering about pros and cons of different front post variations or different widths. I have an older Remington .22 where the front "blade" is almost sharp enough to cut with. It really works well for me for around 50 rounds then my...

Has anyone here ever owned or shot an FNC? It seems like a sturdy design that sadly I'll probably never get to try because of import regs and the advent of the SCAR (which is probably an improvement but looks like butt). Either the select fire or semi only models; any experiences?

I'm mildly nearsighted and need to wear glasses for clarity at a distance. The one time I went to the 100yd range without my glasses I could barely make out the target (I also learned not to put a bunch of bullseyes near each other as they make it doubly hard to focus). Since then the general...

Silly question but do sharpshooters not subject to Geneva regulations use FMJBT for accuracy or do they use soft-point/hollow-point for added lethality or reduced penetration?

I've always thought of them as "cop guns" and for a while was under the impression they were all DAO. I keep seeing them used now and think they are quite handsome. Are some DA/SA? How do they compare to other popular guns in the same class/price? Good triggers? Reliability? Are any particular...

I assume that the A2 flash hider is superior in some way to the A1 and the old 3 Prong style. How? Any strong functional reasons to NOT put a 3 Prong flash hider on an AR build for a little Vietnam era style?

I was in a gunshop today where a guy who was obviously mentally "off" was buying a handgun. I'm not a doctor but he was visibly disheveled and doing one of the best Rain Man impressions I've ever seen in real life. Not like tourettes. I wouldn't have let him in my store let alone sold him a...

I know rifle magazine capacity is largely determined by size but is mag capacity on handguns determined solely by the follower? I've thought of stocking up on mags for guns I *might* want to buy in the future in case of a ban but that seems costly and a bit silly. Could I stock up on followers...

How much does a recrown job take down the barrel? A friend has an old Mauser in excellent condition save for some cleaning rod wear at the muzzle. It's almost too nice to shoot and I'm sure a few people would say "don't!" but he still uses it and would like to squeeze more accuracy out of it...

http://www.norinco-usa.com/# Last week the website said AK-47s and M14s coming 2009. I thought that maybe they were importing receivers then making them "American" with compliance parts as per 922r. This "explanation" doesn't explain much. Maybe it's a front? The whole canceled trademarks...

Any reason NOT to get a mid length AR? Seems like you get the size advantages of a C.A.R. with a longer sight radius. Any disadvantages? Also, what is the purpose of the narrowed part of the barrel in some 16" ARs?

I have 2 batches of Yugo 7.62x39 ammo marked 1983 and 87. Red primers. Any idea if these are corrosive? I've read that post 70's Yugo ammo is not corrosive AND that all Yugo ammo is corrosive. Which is it? Incidentally, aside from the red color around the primers these rounds appear to be...

My girlfriend has whined for a while that she wanted a PPK. I said she should get a Bersa or maybe a CZ83 but while at a Gun Show the other week we stumbled on a beautiful looking PPK and I was overcome with a fit of charity. It's a lightly used Interarms Walther in .380. I didn't know about...

Tomorrow at 2 Eastern on NPR. Call in, might be interesting.

May possibly pull the trigger and get an AR in the near future. Still not sure whether I want an A2 or A4, Standard 20" or Varmint, kit (assembled upper) or complete rifle and not sure whether I would scope it or not. Would mostly be used for shooting paper but I guess it would be nice if it...
