    bizarre rifling question

    Ok, here's the deal. I have a SVT-40 rifle in 7.62x54r which I plan to use for WW2 reenacting. To do so, requires it to be blank adapted. This involves tapping the bore from the muzzle end for one inch, and then drilling an aperture hole in a set screw which can then be screwed into the...

    double firing pin?

    I was thinking about the .22LR, and how being a rimfire there is a chance that a section of the rim might be a "dud," so-to-speak. Why doesn't a .22LR firearm exist with a double pronged firing pin? Where a second part of the pin would strike 180 degrees away from the first? I would think it...

    used .38 advice

    I was browsing around the local gunstore today when I came across a used S&W model 10 .38 with the heavy barrel. It seems to be in very good condition, with mainly holster wear and a good bore. I am going back on Tuesday to do a more complete inspection. First off, how much side-to-side...

    What is your ideal rifle?

    I you had the option of designing your own ideal rifle (or modifying an existing one) what would it be? Personally, I would take the Galil as a starting point, but use a lighter stamped steel receiver instead of the milled one. Also, chamber it in 5.45x39 instead of 5.56x45. Make it...

    Good gunshop experience!

    I know that we often go off on rants about terrible gun stores and their employees, but I actually had a good experience today! I was having a rifle transfered in from a private individual in another state. I looked up my area in the Gunsamerica FFL search, and found a place that only charged...

    repair question

    If you have a registered machinegun and the receiver breaks, can you send to be replaced? IE the gunsmith takes a new reciever, stamps the old serial number on it, and put your old rifle's parts on it?

    SVT-40 help

    I am getting an SVT-40 as soon as it arrives at my FFL. Do I need to check the headspace on this? If so, should I get a guage or simply take it to a gunsmith? Are there any other things I should check on this gun to make sure it is safe to shoot?

    .50 cal ban?

    Someone told me today that new production of all .50 BMG caliber rifles has been banned. They said that the rifles currently in the market can be sold, but no new ones could be built. (similar to the AW ban) I know that there is an anti-gunner push to make these NFA weapons, but I am sure...
