    7.62 x 39 in a spam can

    Where can I buy 7.62 x 39 ammo in a sealed can for a good price? Can I get pretty much any ammo I want in a sealed can? Is a regular army ammo box just as good a way to store ammo for a few years as a sealed can? Thanks

    I want a pistol to practice with. I have pretty much decided on the Ruger mark III. Is there any reason not to just get the cheapest one I can find? Or are the more expensive ones worth spending more on? What attribute is worth extra money? I just want one to practice with. Thanks

    why is an ak 47 better then an SKS?

    I have an SKS, why would someone prefer an AK over that? A similar question is why is an AR15 better then an M1 carbine? I am pretty ignorant about these weapons, so basic answers work for me. Thanks
