I've decided on this bullet for my rifles based on the glowing recommendations for small/medium game and the ability to load it short enough to fit in a STANAG magazine. Unfortunately, I can't find them anywhere locally and my normal places online are sold out. Anyone know where I can find them...

I bought a Maadi AK last weekend that has been through a fire (and functions fine), but the hand guards are a bit warped and bubbled. It also has a cheap looking ATI skeleton stock on it. I want to replace both with something American with a little more quality. I'm open to all suggestions. I've...

After much searching and being on the wait list at my local shop for the past 6 months, I finally picked up that AK I've been wanting so much. I was down in Fort Hood, Texas, visiting a friend of mine back from Iraq on leave. We decided to hit Action Pawn to see what they had lying around. After...

Hello all, I've got a SIG 556 with a 1-7" twist and a Charles Daly Defense DV-24 with a 1-8" twist. Since right now I've got a piece of brass stuck in the die because I didn't use enough lube, I've got time to figure out just what I want to load into all that brass I've got laying around. The...

Hey ladies and gents. I picked up a Charles Daly Defense 24" varmint AR about a month ago and now I need to find a scope to go with it. I'll be completely honest here, I want something big and completely garish. She'll only be brought out at the range and probably won't ever see a target past...

Hello all. I was shopping at the local Big 5 yesterday and asked about the Mossberg 500 combo. They were selling them for about $250, which I thought was a steal. It turns out that not only did they not have any, they didn't expect to get any in the near future. They had a couple of tactical...

I saw one this evening sitting alone at a local store. I didn't buy it because I had no idea what it was. The gents at the store said that the only reason they still had it was because ... nobody had any idea what it was. After a couple hours of research I'm planning to head back in tomorrow to...

Hey all, looking for information both on good brass to reload as well as a question about what's happening to my brass upon extraction. I already load for other calibers, but 5.56 NATO seems to be a bit different that what I'm used to. I recently picked up a Sig 556 and will probably get her a...

Well, I've always held 5.56 NATO in very low esteem and I'm not all that impressed with the M-16 either. I really wouldn't have considered buying anything smaller than my Tikka T3 in .270 Win, until today. It seems that my wife got a nice bonus for bringing in a new client right after my buddy...

Hey all, I've had my heart set on getting some sort of AK variant for quite a while now. I ran into a nice looking, though used, CIA 1975 AK at my local gun shop. They're typically priced pretty high, and this was no exception. It was $549 on the tag and they don't get talked down. This is the...

Mods - I spend most my time on the boards researching C&R rifles. I've noticed what seems like 2-3 threads a day on the Mosin Nagant or other rifle. As there is already an NFA forum, would it be possible to create another forum for C&R rifles and handguns? These older weapons seem to have a huge...

I keep seeing that anyone who has recently obtained an 03 FFL is catching the tail end of the surplus rifle glut. At this time I regularly patrol close to 10 different suppliers and the supply of certain rifles has either dried up or there are warnings of "last in stock" or "won't have again"...

Ladies and gents that know more than I do (which should be most of you), I have a brief MN 91/30 question. I was at the range today and ran into another gent with 16 various M-N variants. He informed me that my rifle was an ex-sniper rifle. It's a 1942 Izhevsk rifle that I picked up at the local...

I ordered a Mosin Nagant M38 from SOG a couple of weeks ago. The order went through but I later received an e-mail ... they were out. I went looking for one elsewhere and found them at J&G. I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy anything from them after they refused to sell a handgun to my...

Ladies and Gents. I'm researching which .38/.357 revolver I'm going to start looking for. I've checked out about 6,000 threads on TFL and I'm leaning towards a Ruger SP101 with the concealed hammer. This is still several months into the future, so I still have plenty of time. Do you have...

Hello all. Next on my list of purchases is an Enfield in .303. There are several types to choose from and I keep seeing the Ishapore Enfields for sale. Has anyone found them to be inferior or superior to other manufactures? I had planned to stick to something of U.K. manufacture, but I'm not set...

I'm rather fond of the 102 gr Golden Saber in .380. I was wondering if anyone has experience or thoughts on using the same bullet in 9mm. Since many of the online suppliers seem to be running short of just about everything, I'm thinking about just ordering a large quantity of the 102 gr to use...

I've lived in Texas now for a couple of years, but just got my residency last year. I just didn't want to be a Texan. After doing so, I took the class and did all of the required paperwork which was a serious pain. I finally sent in my application at the beginning of January. After waiting two...

I'm having trouble finding load data for Nosler 115gr FMJ. Didn't check the box well enough and thought I was getting JHP. Now I'm just going to load them for the range simply because I have them. Lyman's #48 doesn't really impress me and the load data is so/so, but it doesn't include this...

I tested out a few rounds in my Bersa .380 today using the old water jug method. I used the 102g Golden Saber, the 88g Rem UMC JHP, and 90g Hydrashock along with the 95g WWB winclean (BEB). I wasn't buying up all the water on the planet, so I only tested one of each to get an idea ... the rest...
