    Need help choosing a 20" AR for FIL

    Let me start by saying that I know absolutely nothing about ARs, so any help will have to be dumbed down, a lot. With that being said, My Father-in-Law served in Vietnam in '68 and over the years has commented on how he would like to have a rifle like he was issued and I thought I would try to...

    S&W M63 kit gun help

    My father-in-law has a M63 and the cylinder won't advance. He was only able to fire one shot, so it shouldn't be cuase it's dirty, unless that was one dirty 22lr. Lol If anyone has one, could you please either take a picture of the internals or point me to a disassembly/reassembly video...

    What is this???

    Not sure if I am posting this is in the right section... A fellow coworker picked up what he was told was a tank periscope at a garage sale and asked me if I could help him find out what it is. It appears to have been buried and all moving parts are rusted in place. Any help would be greatly...

    Need help deciding...

    The wife and I have been toying around with the idea of getting an inexpensive 9mm pistol for walking in the woods. We've narrowed the field down to two: EAA Witness P and Citadel 1911, both under $300. My wife likes the upgrades of the Citadel, but the weight of the Witness. I'm torn between...

    Looking for MSH for SA Mil Spec

    I bought a SS SA Mil Spec a few years ago and have been toying with the idea of swapping out the arched ILS MSH for a flat standard MSH. I've read countless posts on the subject and understand what it involves and what parts need to replaced in addition to the MSH. My question is: What's a...

    ATI STG44 any thoughts?

    I have an opportunity to purchase an ATI STG44 in 22lr for $500 from a LGS. I handled one yesterday and it felt pretty good. Didn't think to ask if it came with the box or not. The only thing that bothered me was the butt stock had some wobble to it, don't know if that's normal or not. Are...

    10/22 optics?

    Hope I posted this in the right section. I am looking to put a scope on a Ruger 10/22 but don't know anything about scopes. I would like to be able to use the scope mount that comes with the riffle if possible. Also, I would like to stay below $50-$100 if possible. Will this Barska scope from...

    Possible purchase. What would you do?

    Hey guys, got a real dilemma on my hands. I've been trying to find a Winchester SXP Camp/Field Combo for a few months now with no luck. I found a lightly used one for $350 but its not local, so I would have to have it shipped to a local FFL. The problem is, after all the fees and shipping, I'm...

    Time to boycott Stallone

    Might be old news to everyone but it's new to me. Stallone has announced that he supports a new weapons ban. I was unaware, but apparently he supported the '94 ban as well. Rambo, say it ain't so. Since Stallone has obviously turned his back on the rights of Americans, I feel it's only right...

    More anti-gun agenda

    Wasn't sure where to post this but was so angry I just had to post it somewhere. Well apperantly the great state of Indiana doesn't want to be left out of the current media circus. While visiting some friends, the news ran a story about a school shooting. My first thoughts were: "Oh god, not...

    2nd Amendment (post some pics)

    Let me start by saying, this is a firearms forum. We come here to talk, learn, give advice about firearms, and if we're lucky, get to see some cool pics of some nice firearms. Unfortunately, with all that's going on lately in the news, we've been focusing so much on the talk, we've forgotten...

    A thought on AWB

    This may have already been brought up and if so please delete this thread. Let me start out by saying I'm a huge supporter of any law abiding citizens right to own any firearm they choose and am strongly against any form of a weapons ban. We all know, as well as the gun grabbers do, that...

    Possible Tax on ammo

    Not sure how raising the price of ammo, by instituting a national tax, will make anyone "safer". If by "safer" you're using the logic of "if you raise the price of ammo enough so no one can afford it, thus rendering guns useless", your mistaken. I feel raising the price will have the opposite...

    Local Prices

    Just curious what you guys are seeing around your normal watering holes. I had time to kill today, so I stopped by a couple LGS to check their prices. Both places were wiped on ammo but I was suprised how many firearms they still had. Granted they were mostly shotguns and revolvers but there...

    I just don't understand...

    Let me start my rant by saying I went to a gun show today to look at 9mm pistols. I'm partial to the 1911 platform in .45 but have been thinking about getting a 9mm for awhile. My wife doesn't like my .45 so I thought I'd go and see what's out there and maybe find something we both like. We...

    Went to gun show, something followed me home ;)

    So my wife tells me Friday there's a gun show this weekend where we live and wanted to know if I wanted to go or not. I told her no, that I was done with them for awhile. She said ok and that was that. Then Sunday rolls around and we're out driving around and she asks me: "You sure you don't...

    Need help identifying .308 ammo

    I went to a gun show this weekend and there was a table selling 20rd boxes of .308 ammo for $8.00 a box. The boxes were green and looked like they were made of cheap paper, (not shiny like name brand but more like construction paper).The only writing was on the front of each box which said...

    SPAS 12 recoil buffer

    Does a SPAS 12 really need one? Or is it just hype like when people claim you'll destroy your AK if you fire it without a recoil buffer in the receiver. My father had a SPAS 12 and if IIRC it didn't have the recoil buffer inside the receiver and he never had any trouble with it. I don't know...

    Model 870 express synthetic 7-round

    Does anyone own/owned one of these shotguns? Are they worth buying or should I keep looking? What are the pros/cons of this model? Anyone know about the choke or the finish? I'm thinking about this for home defense, not hunting...
