    Just bought a Lancaster Arms Milled Ak

    I posted about a day or two ago about purchasing a ak rifle and i decided to head to my local gunshop and pickup this ak. I had talked to the salesman on the phone before heading up about it and it seemed like a decent ak (never owned a milled ak before) so i went up today and took a gander for...

    Disappointed in local gun shops

    During the two years i worked there i would see my coworkers push guns that obviously did not suit the customers needs or would outright lie about the specs of the gun (i used to make fun of one coworker that kept claiming his rock island 1911 was made off of colts old machinery lol) the reason...

    Disappointed in local gun shops

    hey rmiller, you say you live close to springfield, may i ask which gunshop this was that lied to you? I worked at Doc Hollidays General Store in Ozark, MO for two years and i can tell you i had to work with folks that acted just like the gentleman you spoke to about that spikes ar.

    Need help deciding on a AK

    i had bought a wasr 10/63 new back in june of 09 and i wasnt very impressed. Mag wobble, poor fit and finish, lackluster accuracy (good enough for plinking or maybe hd but wasnt nearly as good as my dads arsenal or the vepr i owned). i would buy one again for a cheap price but im not paying...

    Need help deciding on a AK

    the real irony of all of this is my dad had a nice slr107c and decided to sell it. he got screwed for lack of a better word trying to sell it at the very same gunshow at the empire fair grounds for 650 cash for it and like 8 mags, considering they no longer carry that model and they originally...

    Need help deciding on a AK

    didnt even ask, most of the time they are about 500 bucks for one around here and i can get one shipped to my ffl buddy for 425 anyway. i dont mind wasrs for what they are, i just have the money to get something better right now

    Need help deciding on a AK

    Need help deciding on a AK

    Ive owned a wasr 10-63, a rob arm vepr k, chinese mak 90, and the polish tantal in my few years of collecting rifles and have sold them all (almost always because of financial reasons). Im now looking to get back into the ak game and im having trouble finding the best ak for the money. First and...

    saiga 12

    Ive been thinking about picking one of em up after shooting my dads and my buddys home converted one for a while now. To me, this is the finest combat shotgun available to u.s citizens and is practical for hd/shtf scenarios simply for the fact it is mag fed and semi auto. dont get me wrong, i...

    Heckler & Koch

    by jungle model due you mean a paratrooper model with the shorter barrel because 350 is a fair price for it and 699 is still a little bit pricey for the psl but for buying it in new york and at gunshop price you didnt due to bad i guess

    Mini 14 vs. AK-47

    Ill take any vz. 58 or ak variant hands down over a mini anyday but thats because i have different reasons for owning this rifle. Anything that is going to be a defensive/shtf type rifle i want to at least have 10 mags for it and mini 14 mags are pricey (cheapest mags that work are the factory...

    Heckler & Koch

    also btw if it is a REAL hk91 (g3) in good shape i would have taken it for 1300 thats a steal for that price but more likely its a way overpriced cetme or maybe a ptr91 which would be close to the cost of 1300 new but you still are paying over msrp for a ptr91.

    Heckler & Koch

    Um if you payed 1100 for a romanian psl and a chinese sks you got kinda screwed my friend. You can get chinese sks on gunbroker for 175-250 and the psl for 529-600 so at the most you could have saved around 350 bucks online. just sayin...

    What AR15 (223) 30 round magazines are the better manufacture?

    For my serious SHTF or carbine class setup, pmags are the only way i go for strength and reliability. If i was casually plinking at the range and didnt care the g.i. mags are fine as long as they have either the green tab or the magpul follower installed (even better imo)

    Hornady TAP Training Ammo

    tap ammo is great but ive never tried the training ammo so i can only assume its just as good as well.
