Hello - I recently purchased a SKS rifle, Norinco. I have one already in original form, but this one has the Fiberforce stock on it, and has been converted by removing the fixed box magazine to feed AK mags. It's a nice rifle and in great shape, but my problem simply, is that it does not seem...

Hello - watching the Winter Olympics and seeing the skiers do their race plus shooting, I took notice of the harness they had for their rifles on their backs allowing the rifle to sit up in the middle of their backs while keeping hands free. Is there something similar for hunters who go on long...

Hi - I have a k98 Mauser BCD 4 (1944)...in VERY nice shape, bolt non-matching. I've had it my collection for many years, never really played with it but once or twice and kept it in a closet for all this time. Just out of curiosity, I was looking at various gun sites to see what it might be...

Hello - a friend brought this to me yesterday in hopes I could identify it. I have absolutely no idea what it is, except possibly ACW era? Cap and ball, appears to be .36? Brass frame, hammerless....and double-action. Worst of all - absolutely no markings whatsoever...anywhere. Any help is...

After a long while, I saved funds for the Savage 110 Long Range Hunter, but before I make the final decision, I wanted to ask members their advice on this particular rifle. Any reviews, thoughts? Should I go 6.5 Creedmore or .308? (I'm assuming that if it fires .308 this is also good for 7.62...

Here is a good seasonal joke, nice and clean, hope you like it: A young married couple go to a large shopping center to do Christmas shopping. They separate to do their own thing and agree to meet an hour later at the car. The woman arrives first at the car and waits for her husband. After 30...

When one looks at all the countries of Europe, very strict gun laws abound. France is considered one of the more lax in terms of gun ownership....but compared to the US, it is absurdly restrictive. Perusing through an auction site in France for various items of personal interest...I came...

I went to a small reenactment/display over the past weekend. One group had an interesting assortment of weapons....included a cardboard tube replica of a British antitank device called a PIAT (and very decent replica at that). The owner of the display said he couldn't get a real PIAT because...

Hello - Two weeks ago I noticed a Century made AK-47 variant selling a the C39V2 "Zhukov". It's biggest feature are the Magpul features and side-folding stock. It's a very interesting look, and I kind of like it. I searched many reviews, the magazine-featured article kind of reviews...they...

Hello - It has been a while since I've visited. A few days ago at a local gun store, one new addition immediately caught my eye: a Kel-Tec RBD bullpup rifle in 5.56/.223. It reminded me of the FAMAS I carried for four years during my time in service in the 1990s...sans the carrying handle. I...

I recently had a chance to examine a Rossi Circuit Judge at a local gun shop. I really like the concept of the .45 Colt/.410...it seems like a good idea for a very versatile firearm. However, I am very disappointed by the stock provided - it's so short! In shoulder fire mode, it brings the...

Hello - It has been a while since I've been here. I am taking my family on vacation to Florida. We live in Indiana and we are driving. My wife has a CCW and a handgun but I do not, so I would like to take a rifle with me. After reading various sites on firearm laws, it appears to me that...

On a recent trip to a local gun store, I discovered a series of Savage Axis bolt action rifles in various calibers. I was surprised at how light they were. I fairly straight forward design with no frills. I am unfamiliar with Savage or their products...but the Axis series are interesting to...

Hello - I've noticed quite a few Mosin Nagant Rifles for sale being marked as "ex-sniper". Images I see point to the two holes on the left side of the receiver that were later plugged. I am asking if it is worth the effort to remove these plugs to re-install a new scope and mount, or is it not...

Hello, I've been giving some thought to building my own AR. At a recent gun show I noticed several tables offering many different types of barrel assemblies. There were several expensive 22" and 24" barrels assemblies that were nice, but it is too much barrel? Can a .223 bullet be slowed if...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. A few friends of mine and myself were discussing Pearl Harbor defenses at the time of the 1941 attack, and the question of m1917 rifles came up. We're uncertain if they were present. I had read somewhere that the US army, prior to 1941, had...

Hello - I am considering building my own AR. I've seen several videos on YouTube of ARs blowing up when firing. Some of my friends, who are themselves AR freaks, have explained to me that while manufacturers all label their products as Milspec, it is very important that certain parts be made...

Hello - I recently attended a WW 1 reenactment in another state (I live in Indiana, the reenactment was in Illinois). I have a m1892 Lebel revolver (8mm, for which I have blanks) which I considered taking with me but decided to leave at home because I was not 100% certain of the laws. I was...

Hello - I've often thought about building my own AR. As many of you are very well aware, there seems to be a plethora of parts and assemblies one can choose from, either through gun show dealers and/or catalogues. I've seen many U-yube videos of AR failures, either feeding or some explosion of...

I recently noticed an ad for an ammo brand called "Red Army Standard". It is being sold (in the case of this particular ad) by Century Arms. My own quick research finds that it is new-made stuff from Romania, and that it may be corrosive, but I've not read any reviews yet on how well it shoots...
