    is the FN/FAL still around?

    Here's the deal with FAL's - they are fairly heavy and long. Tavor makes a 308 bullpup which is much lighter and far more compact. There are even better 308 bullpups out there like the one made by K&M. When it comes to .308 - a bullpup is the way to go.

    Forward Assist - Why Everyone NEEDS Them...

    "YES" to Forward Assist. Anyone who builds an AR without a forward assist should be shunned from the AR World, and here's why: - Forward assists looks cool - Gun haters hate the forward assist - it looks way too "evil". - Who doesn't want a fidget spinner thingy on their gun for when they get...

    Bullpups - The Answer To ATF's Possible Crackdown On Pistol Arm Braces...

    There are now a number of good 5.56 and even .308 Bullpups out there. OAL puts them in range of many of the pistols with arm-braces. However, they do tend to be quite a bit more expensive than what you can put together yourself in an AR platform. I would like to see more bullpups come online...

    Exciting New Handguns - Those Days Are Over???

    Am I the only one who is totally bored with the "new" handgun offerings over the past 10 years? What happened to the Golden Era of Handguns, of radically new semi-autos that WOW'ed us in the '80's and '90's? Here are some blasts from the past, the likes of which you would never see today...

    Form 20 Question....

    I'm moving to a new state. I filled out a Form 20 in duplicate and emailed it to BATFE for 2 NFA items I have. How log does it usually take them to give you permission to move your firearm to a different address? Also, will BATFE send me the permission slip in the mail, or just email...

    Did Sage Stop Making SCAR Stock For The AC556?

    I just looked to see if I could buy a Sage SCAR stock for the AC556 - looks like they still make them for various mini-14's, but not for the AC556. Just wondering if anyone knows when they stopped making these?

    I Start New Shooters On Any Size Handgun (or Rifle) They Really Want...

    If someone comes to me who has never shot a gun before, but has done enough research to know he wants a 9mm semi-auto, I don't try to discourage the person from buying a 9mm in favor of a .22. No! I applaud the person for making the decision to buy a gun and try to help him buy what he wants...

    Ammo Everywhere; Hoarders Move On To Hand Sanitizer...

    It's now easy to find 22lr ammo for about $25/500 rounds. But, hand sanitizer is nowhere to be found, except at wacky inflated prices on silly auction sites. The hoarders have moved on because you apparently can't shoot Coronavirus with lead bullets. Now I need to add gelatinized alcohol...

    Komrad "Shotgun" - How Is This Not NFA?

    I am interested in the Komrad not-a-Shotgun Pistol, but it sure looks like an SBS to me. How is this not an NFA gun. FWIW, I posted this in General because it is supposedly not an NFA gun, not a shotgun, not a rifle - I don't know what the heck it is, so I posted it here...

    Sig X-Five Adjustable Trigger....

    Does anyone make a the adjustable trigger components found in the Sig X-Five? I have the Competition model and wold like to swap for the Level 1 adjustable trigger, if the can be purchased. I know that I can buy a L1 and sell the Competition but I'm trying to avoid doing that.

    Tavor 7 .308 - I noticed it is now avaliable - any thoughts?

    About a year ago, I went ahead and bought a K&M .308 bullpup which I have been quite pleased with. At the time, Tavor did not have a 308 version of its bullpup. I am wondering if anyone has seen the Tavor 7 or had any trigger time with it? Price is about the same as the K&M. Just curious.

    Steyr GB's and Megastar 45's dried up on Gunbroker?

    I keep an eye out for some odd-ball pistols I have to check values every now and then. I've sort of forgotten about the Steyr GB and Megastar 45 for awhile. I noticed that there are none for sale at this moment on Gunbroker. Does anyone have any thoughts about these two somewhat "vintage" guns?

    Bren Ten vs. CZ 75B....

    Does anyone know if the Bren Ten's internals are similar to that of a CZ 75B? Is the Bren Ten essentially just a 10mm copy of the CZ?

    How Do I Make My Revolver Dream Come True?

    I have a vision of a very specific Revolver that I want, which is not made. However, the custom work needed to make it the way I want it should be easily possible. What I want is a S&W 627 8-shot .357 with 2.6" barrel; but with a fluted cylinder (they only come with unfluted). I was thinking...

    Looking for a High Quality AR-22....

    I would like to purchase an dedicated .22lr rifle in an AR configuration. I would rather not have a cheap polymer upper or lower receiver. Looking for all metal, but as inexpensive as possible. 1. Is there a high quality AR-22 available for purchase that anyone knows of; 2. If I were going...

    What I Don't Like About Glock...

    Since the last thread about Glocks got closed before I could respond, I just wanted to explain three reasons why I personally find my Glock 17 to be one of my least favorite guns. Still, however, a gun that I keep and use. 1. I am not comfortable carrying a handgun with a relatively light...

    Hi-Point 10mm Carbine -- I want one....

    I've decided that I want a Hi-Point 10mm Carbine as a home-defense gun. Here's why: 1. It's cheap, and if I can find a used one, it's really cheap!. I could keep it stashed, unlocked, in my bedroom, where it can get banged around, dusty etc. I don't like the idea of keeping my more...

    What happened to all the Swiss 1882 Revolvers?

    It used to be that the Swiss 1882 pistols were generally available, both with the Bakelite grips as well as with the later wood grips. I did a quick check on Gunbroker, and the two that I found are over $1,200 (asking, no bids), and none with the Bakelite grips. I have one, but was thinking...

    S&W Nickel Chiefs Special - Model 36

    Does anyone know if S&W still makes the Model 36 in Nickel? Or, when the last time they were produced? I recently purchased one of these and didn't think they were still in production, but I could be wrong.

    I Purchased some Underwood Lehigh Xtreme Penetrator in 10mm....

    So, I decided to buy a couple of boxes of Underwood 10mm 140 Grain solid copper rounds. I watched some videos on this, and it does seem to have some extreme ability to penetrate, even some body armor, and keep on going. One guy who was testing this stuff complained that it was too dangerous...
