    Did I miss a great deal?

    At the last shooter's show, the range was selling its usual apparel (shirts, hats, gift cards) and they had a bargain bucket of "stuff we pulled out of the closet", a weird collection of odds and ends like Desert Eagle holsters, slings, foreends, grips, replacement carbon viber stocks for a...

    H&k Vp70?

    Does anyone here have one? Can we see some pics? I've been eyeing them, and after a few reports, and reading up on it, I think I'd like one some day. One in my home town actually came up for auction on gunbroker.com for around $500. I think it would be cool to have the first actually remotely...

    Romanian PSL-54

    Like I said in another thread, I've become addicted to the oh so cheap and ever so much fun 7.62x54R. So now I'm looking at a Romanian PSL-54C from AIMSurplus with all the parts, bells and whistles for $699. Any suggestions?

    Gun Scrubber in a Can

    I thought I would never need it, but would have liked it, and bought a can just because I always liked the idea of a complete removal and degrease in a can. That night, when I had put the can away I was cleaning my M91/30 and noticed some rust colored grease/powder on the bolt face. After...

    Mosin Range Report/Caught the Bug

    With the advice of TFL, I bought, degreased, cleaned, and now finally got out to the range with my Izhevsk 1942 M91/30. And I must say, If there is a bug for 7.62x54R, I caught it. While the ejector never failed to extract, sometimes it did not actually "eject" the cartridge, leaving a loose...

    Sorry Guys, gotta bug you again

    I'm cleaning my M91/30 , because I want to get it ready for some range time and I had a moment of "***" when trying to clean it. I have already degreased and regreased the bolt so thats not what im concerned about. Just for some historical giggles I tried using the cleaning rod that came with...

    Scoping a Mosin/Update

    Again, I really have to thank you all at TFL, once again your information has helped me out a bunch. As I said in another thread, I got a beater surp. 1942 Izhevsk M91/30 for what adds up to under $100 ($141 with tax, transfer and ammo, but I got $45 in free range tokens) and this morning with...

    So I want an M91, Please advise.

    Okay, I Got my M91! Surplus guns, dirt cheap, with dirt cheap ammo, cosmo oil, whatever. So, I need some advice. My local range/shop is selling a handful of M91/30s, surplus, unused in Cosmoline with accessory parts and I believe a free spam can of ammo. For $120. Good deal, or wait for an...

    Backup gun really necessary?

    I plan on CCW the day of my 21st birthday (not that far off actually) and I was thinking. I know that my first handgun will most likely be a revolver, but I thought about a backup gun, like a hammerless revolver in an ankle holster or something. Does anyone here carry one? Any recommendations...

    is a C&R required for ALL Mosins?

    I just had a bit on quandry, I see surplus M91/30s and 44s sold at gunshows for as little as $75 and I thought about picking one up just because a beater rifle with ammo that cheap would be a good way to get more shooting in without breaking bank. So my question is, is a C&R permity/cert...

    HK53

    Any chances of getting one? How much? Where? Spare Magazines? Documents? Im still leaning toward building an AR15 with kits from Del-Tonics but an HK53 is pretty cool.

    CCW with Single Action?

    This is a hypothetical question. Can/Should a Single Action Revolver be used for Carry/Conceal. I have yet to meet anyone who does. Can it be done? Should it be done? Plausable?

    Caliber/Upper Swap?

    Hypothetically speaking, If I wanted an AR-15 in 308 or 762x39, could I take a standard caliber AR-15 build and just buy a .308 upper receiver assembly and simply swap it onto the standard lower? or does it require an entire new build?

    The AR15 Book to End all AR15 Books

    What is it? Can someone recommend one to me? (link would be nice) With the much appreciated help from TFL (once again you all helped me in a pinch) I decided that building an AR is the cheapest, and best way to go, at least for now. So I need a manual for building, selecting and using an Ar15...

    Scope Knobs?

    I recently bought and installed a set of ancient scope knobs for my 10/22. I found them for $20 in a "bargain stuff we found in the closet" at a recent shooters show at a range. I installed them that night. Right now they are aligned properly, 0 being on the graduation marks. But now my scope...

    Waiting for a "civilianization"

    Okay, as of late my opinion on 5.56ers has changed from "underpowered" to "WICKED SICK AND SMOOTH!" so I am waiting for the right time to jump in and get a .223 Ive been considering an AR15, but then I saw all these new "civilianized" rifles like the FS2000,PS90 and those Aug-like STGs. So i...

    Home Town Advantage AR15?

    Hi, I recently had a little trigger time with a DPMS Panther AR15, one that was given back to the company as a police return after so many rounds were put through it that the metal discolored and the handgaurd melted and was repleaced. The beaten up gun still functioned like a charm and I...

    I see why Glock never made that many 18 Select Fires

    I got some range time in the full auto Glock 18 Select Fire. And I now understand why they never made that many. It was really hard to control. Just tapping the trigger spat out 5 rounds.. Wicked fun, lots of laughs, but I now realize why they did what they did.

    Thoughts on Steyr Scout

    I recent had some range time in with a BRAND NEW Steyr Scout at the shootersshow. And I had some mixed results. It was without a doubt, the most disgustingly, brilliantly superbly accurate firearm I have ever fired. However, the gun was literally right out of the box, and had not be broken in...

    I understand now!

    My mother, had a great deal of range time with a classic Colt SAA (A government presentation model) with her first husband. As I was growing up, she always raved about how smooth and great a gun it was.. Well I got some range time in with a Taurus-Heritage Single Action Guacho (.45LC) at the...
