How does Soviet 5.45 round compare to our 5.56 (.223) ballistically? I have heard that these two rounds are very similar when compared to our 55gr round. Does one have any advantage over the other caliber?

I was just chatting with a friend in Czech Republic tonight and he told me price of handguns in his country is very high. For example, a Norinco 1911 in 45ACP cost $650, Sig 226, Beretta 92FS, Glock all cost over $1,100 and CZ-75B cost $600. A box of S&B 9mm cost $11 and S&B 45ACP cost $20...

Is it just me or has the price of hi-cap AR-15/M-16 price been going down in past few months? Price of 20 and 30 round mags in Good to NIW condition seems to have gone down by about $5-10. I used to pay about $30-35 for NIW 30 round GI mags but now I see them for $23-30 and Ronin45 has been...

Can anybody here tell me where the bullet will hit if I sight-in the iron sight on my AR-15 shorty using 55gr ball ammo at 100 yards at various distance? Velocity is 2,850 fps from my AR. I'm interest in point of impact vs. point of aim at: 10 yards 25 yards 50 yards 75 yards 100 yards...

I can trade my almost new Stainless 92FS with 2 high cap mags for a friend's almost new Glock 17 with 1 high cap mags. An even trade. Is this good trade? I already have 4 Glocks and a second Stainless 92FS so I don't need another Glock or a Beretta but my brother wants me to buy him a Glock...

This weekend I won a $100 bet with my friend. My friend is always afraid of getting his carry ammo wet (from rain, sweat, etc) because he believed the powder or the primer would get wet and would not fire. I on the other hand never worried about this because I believed all center fire ammos...

I was asked by a non-shooting friend why police uniform leather gear have that "funny pattern"? The "funny pattern" being basketweave pattern. I really didn't know the answer but I told him the pattern hides scratches better. Was I close? Anybody here know the real reason?

I picked up a used Beretta 92FS few weeks ago just because the asking price was so good and the pistol was in excellent shape and had 2 factory hi-cap mags. Tonight I took it to the range for the first time and it shot very well but the double action trigger was excessively heavy in 15 pound...

Has anybody ever seen a S&W Model 10/MP with 5" skinny barrel and round butt? I've seen and have several 2", 3", 4" and 6" models with round butt and 5" skinny barrels with square butt but never seen a 5" with round butt. My father saw one at a pawn shop today at a great price and said it...

Do you guys buy brass or just pick them up at the range? I have been reloading for about 15 years and I have never had to buy brass (I did trade 2 packs of Marlboro for 500 pieces of "well used" 45ACP brass to get started). There are 3 outdoor shooting areas (rock pits) within 30 minutes from...

Okay all you AR fans I got a question for you. Last night for the firest time I took the forearm off my new Bushmaster and noticed that there seems to be gas leak just at the point where the gas tube goes into the gas block (front sight assembly). On the first one or two inches of the gas tube...

In the 60's people were talking about and preparing for the nuclear doomsday... In the 70's people were talking about and preparing for the social breakdown and destruction of our world... In the 80's people were talking about and preparing for the racial/economical riots and the breakdown of...

Anybody hear anything lately? I would think they should have a prototypes by now. Anybody else here interested in this pistol?

Provided each is used with factory magazine. Forget about accuracy as I'm only concerned with the rifle going "bang" every time I pull the trigger.

Well I finally did it. I got a AR this past saturday. I Really like my Mini-14 rifles but I figured I'll try a new toy and got a 16" HB Bush Master with A3 top along with carry handle and scope mount that fits on the top of the carry handle. I figured this would give me option of mounting a...

Anybody know the formula to convert Grams to Grain??

My friend offered to sell to me his Ruger Ranch Rifle and said I can have it for what I think it is worth. He thinks it is worth $500 but I think it is worth more and I don't want to short change him as I prefere to forget the rifle or pay a little more and keep him as friend. The problem is...

Sorry but I have very limited knowledge on Remington rifles. Just what is the difference between Remington ADL vs. BDL? It seem the price difference is about $150 with ADL being cheaper but what do you get with BDL to justify the price difference? Is one better shooter than other?

How reliable must a handgun must be before you trust it enough for carry? 1 FTF out of 200 rounds reliable enough? 1/500? 1/1,000? 1/10,000? What is the requirement for military pistols? For me, 1/1,000 is minimum.
