    Any point to C&R?

    My C&R licence expired years ago. Right about when the WW2 toys were drying up. Will there ever be another (non Mosin) group of rifles imported? Is it worth getting it again? Oh and check this out: Welcome, mooreshawnm. You last visited: November 11, 2009 at 09:06 AM :eek:

    Sako

    So last night a buddy from work stopped buy with his Sako .375. (Light gun, big bullet...I bet that'll wake you up in the morning!) Any way it was the first time I have handled a Sako and I was really impressed. Are these the excellent rifles they appear to be? I know/think they own Tika but I...

    Q on Steyr M9 trigger pull

    Looking for a full sized 9mm and am very interested in the Steyr M9A1. One of my many questions about the pistol is how is it's trigger pull compared to an XD (Have an XD9SC so I am judging all plastic guns by it's trigger)? I have ruled out a Walther P99 as my next purchase due to it's poor...

    Does the Polish Tantal rifle use standard AK 74 magazines? I imagine that it does but just want to be sure prior to purchase.

    Question regarding AKs

    OK I have a MAK90 that I bought way back in college. I had always considered it a Chinese POS. I have been drooling over pics on the web of 'real' AK's (Romanian and Yugo). I went to the gun show today and saw a Romanian AK and was terribly disapointed. Not only was the wood every bit as bad as...

    New SA XD-9 for CC

    So, one good thing happened with the elections. I convinced my wife that the cost of guns will soon be jumping up. The fact that I believe this to be true is irrelevant as when it comes to the check book she is the boss! So she took me out to get a compact high capacity pistol! You gotta love it...

    Just bought 2x SKSs for the boys

    Well I finally broke down and bought some semis for the boys age 4 and 8. I realize they aren't ready for them now but I was worried with the anti Republic feelings throughout the nation these days that our gun rights may soon be suffering. Well I got two cheapo Yugo SKSs from J&G. I have always...

    New gun for the kid

    So I figured my 8 year old son is old enough for his first real gun. Have been looking at youth sized rifles and had settled for either a CZ 452 Scout or on one of those H&R .22/.410 things. I went to the gun store today and there was the CZ. It was so beautiful I just had to purchase it on the...

    Old 1903 Question

    OK here's the deal. I may purchase a Springfield 1903 mfg 1917. Of course should I buy this old weapon I will have a gunsmith check it out prior to firing it. The question is how safe SHOULD this rifle be. Looks like it has been well cared for. Does metal start to fall apart after 100 years...

    8mm Mauser - Why?

    OK I have wanted a 98K (or yugo/czech version) forever now. About 10 years ago I bought a 6.5 Swede carbine. Shoots like a dream but: 1) No Hooded front sight...important, no but looks cool! 2) Handle is strait as opposed to curve like a 98K 3) Shoots that weird and expensive 6.5 round 4)...

    IS Commerce, MJ and Guns

    So is it just me or did the SC just open up the door for throwing out local (state and city level) gun restrictions under the interstate commerce laws?
