    Do you have a favorite rifle to shoot?

    Yesterday the heavy trigger on my first FAL (SAR-4800) began to feel ok. Kinda normal for a rifle. It has the looks, partly from decades of historic photographs, no doubt. The feel and sound of a .308 in my FALs, the PTR-91 or M1A is enjoyable, even hitting just clay pigeons at 50 yards. Who...

    No HK/PTR, FAL, little M1A interest here?…

    ..or did it migrate to HKforums, FALfiles, M1A Forums? There seems to be so little info here for non-AR people. AKfiles is a good network for all of these rifles. It seems to be a very popular collection point for “refugees”.

    Graphics for roller-Delayed blowback, with a catch...

    This is linked simply to demonstrate: A) chambering, at >> 14:13 <<. B) A very brief blowback 'interface' between rollers, shoulder recesses, locking piece, bolt carrier, at >> 16:38 <<. * The 'Catch': Please note that the German lettering and dialogue make no difference if anybody wants...

    German method to re-install HK/PTR-91 bolt.

    This works better on my brand-new PTR (it's my first HK gun) than any other technique. He is a retired SMSGT of the Luftwaffe, and the Bundeswehr also did it with this simple method. Norwegians, Portuguese and possibly other military branches did so, based on foreign viewers who commented on...

    PTR/HK-91 cheek comfort with the typical stock ?

    Mine PTR arrives tomorrow, and nobody online seems to mention any cheek slap with the standard solid buttstocks. They certainly comment on a hard knock regarding certain type of metal brace which can be installed. My Czechpoint VZ-58 has a similar downward slope on its buttstock, just behind...

    New, imminent Ban on importing Russian ammo...prices "dropping"?

    You can read up on the alleged reasons why September 7 is the last day for imports. Typical b.s. about Navalny etc...... >>> Remember, plenty of 9mm and .223 was being used, along with those "other" chamberings. For those who don't mind another increase in prices for ...US-made ammo....if...

    $278/1,000: 7.62x39—-

    Somebody told me about “CLT Ammo” Fathers Day Special I’ll, on Friday night. At least two other retailers have fairly similar bulk prices on 7.62x39: Ammoman and Target Sports (?). At CLT still available, or $5.60 per 20 rds. My point is that despite the reality that factors always change ...

    The "AKM love" here, has found refuge---

    --on AKforums and AKfiles? Or it never existed on TFL?

    Lady security contractors--civilian backgrounds?

    Searching images of "American security contractors", several appeared, and are probably legit. The title for this is Amercan s. c. Iraq. Just curious whether must be LEO, US Marshalls, FBI etc, because I never read about any having been allowed to serve as infantry, or have similar USMC field...

    Disassemble frame parts, just to add oil for anti-corrosion?

    For a different reason I disassembled/reassembled the frame's parts in my Other Sig, a true P6. Youtube is wonderful. As the internal components in the 1980 P6 showed no corrosion on its internal components, can one mostly assume that some residual factory oil still protects the same parts in...

    OEM Mag. prices for single-stack 2nd/3rd Gen S&W: wow---

    Despite having seven handguns, might just buy an eighth. Have OEM mags for the S&W 3913, --14, 908 etc always been much higher than OEM mags for the double-stack 2nd/3rd Gen. S&W series? E-Bay showed approx. $78 tonight per mag, versus about $35-40 (double-stack. i.e. the 5906 etc) there and...

    VZ-58 "beaver barf": Have you sanded/brightened color?

    A few people have done so with light sanding, and adding either Minwax Red Oak or Sedona Red stain. I don't see how the stain can begin to soak, even a tiny bit. into what is mostly a hard resin plastic material........ They didn't describe which 'grit' sandpaper (one thought it was 400 or...

    If Ballistol accidentally mixes with Breakfree CLP...?

    My handguns are being converted from something else, and are already clean via alcohol wipes. ---But my rifles have had only Breakfree CLP, and wiping them with alcohol to Then switch to Ballistol would take much more time and effort. The question regards what could happen (?) if Ballistol...

    Seeking a product with lube and superior Preservative properties..

    Lost faith in Seal One. This "gel" became a runny liquid in the car last summer.... * but never "Re-gelled" when shaken and stored in a cool room since then. Let's exclude cleaning (I don't shoot that many rounds)---so that I can evaluate which products (i.e. Ballistol etc) offer both a...

    Maybe each Walmart will soon decide to sell ammo...

    We know that some Walmarts discontinued selling even long before the recent "Troubles". This is Not about that.;) Some of their stores which recently allowed sales probably restocked the shelves again---after having a strange agenda during the looting. Simply wanting to avoid using more than...

    Urban riots possibly increase demand for guns?

    The relationship seems plausible. But I've not read any topic about such a possibility. Have people around MSP, Chicago, LAX, Seattle etc and other urban centers noted a stronger demand in the last 2-3 days? I'm well aware that it's not easy to buy a gun around some of those areas, but we...

    New Ruger Mark IV .22 might need a little break-in.

    It's the short, thin barrel Standard model. * Note: I Had a brand-new IV over a year ago, and it went maybe 1,000 rds. before seeing a single stovepipe or such. About as reliable as my imported AKs. Sold the first Ruger only to have some of the cash to buy another Sig P225 ('87). After...

    After how long do "biodegrad. CLP cleaners degrade?

    Being well-read on both good and bad reports of Seal One's older brother, FrogLube, I switched from Breakfree over a year ago (using iso. alcohol cleaning) to ...Seal One... for All of my handguns; zero issues. Three of these six handguns are seldom used, and might need a good internal and...

    Level of disassembly for Cerakote process?

    It would require lots of nerve to consider just the frame components in my Sig P6. I’ve only changed the mainspring. That was tedious and fairly challenging. Video: “Sig Sauer P6/P225 Detailed Assembly” depicts only what happens with the frame. @ Do Cerakote procedures require the Slide’s...
