You need one of these http://riflestocks.com/store/product35.html Which will then allow you to add one of these http://riflestocks.com/store/page3.html With a little Loc Tite to keep the screws tight the ACE folding stocks are an awesome option for Yugo AKs, it makes a very compact...

From what I understand the Springfield Armory rifles were basically assembled from all the parts they brought over from Italy when they bought the whole lot of it. You are correct in being wary, almost all of them I have seen are either welded up receivers or parts guns put together on...

Off the top of my head..... Colibri is 375 fps and Super Colibri is 500 fps. The lower velocity stuff is definitely quieter though I'm not sure how much good that will do with a revolver. There really isn't any way to get around the noise from the cylinder gap. My best results are with a...

Y'all need to read The Modern Survival Manual: Surviving the Economic Collapse by Fernando "FerFAL" Aguirre. The book is fairly well known in gun circles and discusses his experience with the economic collapse in Argentina. While there is a certain romantic sense of survival being out in the...

As noted $500 is high, the going rate is more around $400 and one in good condition for any less is a pretty good deal. The one exception is if it's one with a rear scope mount attached.... It's just a little dovetail piece that is welded to the top of the receiver where the crest would be...

$4-500 They are basically a parts kit that needs to be disassmbled. You can shoot it a bit though I don't see the point in messing around with the thing.

If you haven't had problems.... then good luck to you. You seem to be carrying the banner for EA with that sig line, hopefully they are paying you to push their product. For those who want hotter ammo there is plenty of SS198 out there.

There are enough well documented stories of people having significant problems with EA ammo that I would steer well clear of it. You wouldn't shoot proof loads through an AR-15 that were 1000 fps faster than normal ammo because it risks damage to the gun and your safety.

They are a heavy duty bolt action rifle with good accuracy potential.

Bachman Pawn and Gun.... very underwhelming if you actually go to their store. They may have a large gun show presence and big ads in Shotgun News but the retail walk in side is quite small. I will second Jackson Armory, a huge variety of neat old rifles. Military Gun Supply is another...

How much are you into the gun for? Unless you got it for less than $50 it would be hard, in my mind, to justify throwing any money at it. Yes, you can get Mosin parts but in a lot of cases they will cost you an excessively large percentage of the cost for a whole new (surplus) rifle. From my...

I really wanted one when they were first announced but there are just too many problems for me to consider one. When there are reports of various major components failing early and often it's hard to justify paying a premium. I have had a chance to buy one for $1500 early when they came out...

Yeah, the lack of any significant shipments has driven prices up quite a bit. The last significant amounts I bought were steel cased Russian from AIM for $125/500 and special blow out on DAG for $250/1k from SG Ammo. Bought as much as I could figuring i could always sell it off later. Both...

I would give Samco and their "may be slightly corroded" Portuguese 7.62 at .35 a round first. Even Ammoman has new production Prvi for $550/1k delivered.

The prices seem rather high which explains why they still have stuff that everybody else has sold out of.
