On Friday, my Mako recoil-absorbing stock arrived from Cheaper Than Dirt for my Arsenal SGL-20, and it makes a HUGE difference over the original K-Var Warsaw-length stock. Recoil is cut way down, and setting it for an optimum LOP makes everything more comfortable and accurate. I'm sure AR folks...

Anyone have any experience with a good one? Seen ad's for Tapco & Mako, but have no firsthand experience, and would welcome any opinions. Also considering a NATO-length fixed butt-stock from K-VAR, but my wife would probably not find the LOP too comfortable.

The following link goes to a page set up by the RKBA sub-group of the Daily Kos, a staunchly liberal/progressive online community. Although I am not a member, poster there, or affiliated in any way, I find it encouraging that there are people across the political spectrum who support the RKBA...

Yesterday I purchased a Galco Kydex IWB holster for my S&W 642 Airweight. While I was happy with the construction, how the gun rode, and the comfort, I also found that I couldn't draw smoothly. Upon closer inspection, I found a lip over the opening that caught repeatedly. The cylinder kept...

After seeing the SOCOM II on TV, I was excited to finally get to pick one up. That quickly changed to disappointment because of it's weight, the fact that I found it way off-balance, and the lack of a comfortable hand hold due to the rails. I didn't get to shoot it, but the terrible ergonomics...

Don't know if this is the right place for it, in this article on the unrest in Egypt:http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/29/us-egypt-vigilante-trib-idUSTRE70S3AZ20110129, I was struck by how people in Egypt have to use "sticks and razors" to defend their homes and families, in an atmosphere...

Just picked up a sweet '84 Ruger M77 International (w/Leupold M8-4X scope) in .308, and was wondering what the best (cheap/clean/functional/reasonably accurate) PRACTICE ammo might be. Anyone have any good experiences with the brass-cased non-corrosive NATO milsurp at about .50 cents a round...

So I went to the outdoor shotgun range with my wife and my Wingmaster the other day. and tried clays for the first time. There was a crowd of older shooters finishing up (2 had throwers mounted to their trucks) and we started setting up. They then sat down and started eating lunch, watching us...

I've been interested in getting something in .308 that I could use for general use: targets, some potential hunting, not a lot of sniping or tactical operator work(:eek:). The local fun shop has a Ruger M77 International (w/Mannlicher stock) & Leupold scope for $600. I like the way it feels and...

My wife's birthday is coming up, and since she likes revolvers AND vintage.... I picked up a 1919 Colt .32 Police Positive today for $189 at the local fun shop. Good condition, looks old but not abused, cleaned up nicely, with almost no wear on the grips. Although I wouldn't want to be standing...

My curiosity finally got the better of me, and I ordered a Krebs aperture sight (http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=524721) for my Arsenal SGL-20 just to see if it would be an improvement. After taking it to the range twice, I have to say that I like the picture it gives me more...

So I was walking around the Suncoast gun show today with my wife and daughter, and saw a very clean Russian SKS in really nice shape listed at $400. Nothing I really needed or even thought about before, but it was pretty, and both me and my wife got a kick out of the folding bayonet. The dealer...

What would be the best (hardest, long-lasting, no-melt) clear finish to use on some nice wooden stocks?

Aim Surplus is selling it cheap. How does it compare to Wolf or Brown Bear?

Anyone upgrade the iron sights on their AK (Krebs, Tech-Sights) and care to make a recommendation?

I attended my first Appleseed this weekend with my 10 year old daughter, and would recommend it for anyone interested in seriously developing skills and proper technique. For starters, late June in Florida is HOT, but we all stuck with it, and put in a lot of effort. The instructors were...

1) Is $179.00 a good price? 2) Is it a significant improvement over my 870 Express?

Besides the $, can anyone clarify the difference?

At a recent gun show, I saw a vendor selling high-visibility flourescent paint, for use on iron sights (in green, orange, and pink). Has anyone ever done this, and did it make a difference? It got me to thinking about the front sight on my AK-47; I've seen tritium sights for sale, and it's a...

Would military vs. woodland cammo make a big enough difference to matter? And if so, would it depend on the specific species you're hunting (ie. no for deer, but yes for turkey)?
