    If Import Ban Ends What Would You Buy?

    Another dumb fantasy thread but here it goes... If import restrictions were ended and you could buy any foreign rifles currently prohibited for sale here what would they be? Assume full auto is still off the table. Take best estimated prices into consideration (what might you actually buy)...

    Grip: Thumb on top of safety? (and other questions)

    I've been experimenting with different grips and stances recently after watching that Todd Jarrett video. I only have about a year's experience shooting pistols and I'm not very good at it (much more comfortable with rifles). I have a Ruger MK2 and just got a CZ75. I had been shooting with a...

    Ammo Cans - Airtight?

    This might be a dumb question but are all US surplus ammo cans reasonably airtight/waterproof? Or are some better that others in that regard. I want to pick up a couple from the Army Navy Store but I don't want to spend $ on something that's no better than a shoebox.

    How hard to build an FAL?

    How difficult is a FAL parts build? Are there a lot of specialized tools needed? Does it even make sense financially now that kit prices have gone up?

    Wall Street Journal - US Now Supplying Iraqis With M16s

    Cover story today. Bad idea on any number of levels if you ask me. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119180608991151863.html?mod=hpp_us_pageone

    New Pistol Break-In?

    I'm getting a brand new CZ 75 this week and was wondering what, if anything, you folks do when breaking in a new pistol. Especially curious about bore break-in/cleaning.

    Scope for 10/22

    Can anyone recommend a cheap (-$50) optical scope for a Ruger 10/22? Is the rail that came with the rifle ok to mount on?

    Iron Sights: 6 o'clock or Point of Aim?

    Is this just a personal preference thing or is there a "correct" method for different rifles? Or is one way better for pistols and one for rifles? I have a .22 with fixed sights that is only accurate up to 50yds that shoots 6 o'clock but everything else I own in bigger calibers is set for POA...

    K31 Swiss sight adjustment?

    I'm finally getting some 7.5 ammo to try out on my new K31. Question: How should I adjust the front sight without the "official" K31 sight tool? Also, the front sight is currently set directly in the middle (maybe by the importer?) but has an armorer's mark indicating zero with the sight a...

    Help! Corrosive ammo damage!

    I shot some suspect com-bloc ammo about 2 weeks ago. I cleaned out the barrels of my Saiga (chrome lined) and Yugo SKS (not chromed) like I would normally, with Hoppes #9. Also cleaned the gas tubes on both. It has been very humid here and the Saiga is fine but the Yugo is sporting a thin coat...

    Target Shooting on PA Game Lands

    I'm going to be up in the Poconos in a few weeks and was wondering if I could get away with some plinking on state game lands (provided I could find a safe area with a natural backstop). I went hiking in one last year about 5 miles from the nearest house and almost walked into a bear but I never...

    7.62x39 metal content question

    I finally found a nice range where I can bring my own ammo. Only catch is the bullet cannot attract a magnet. I neglected to ask if steel case cartridges were banned outright; hopefully they can tell weather it is the "brass" or the actual bullet doing the attracting. My question is, are the...

    Maybe Canada ain't so bad?

    I stumbled on this site tonight and was pretty shocked at how cheap FA guns are when the supply isn't as finite and was pretty bummed that we can't buy the Norincos. I know we shouldn't be giving money to the Red Army but a CZ with safety AND decocker!? Sigs under $400? Those are Canadian...
