    I went ahead and bought it :)

    NRA lobbying for money or a scam

    I was signed up as an NRA member twice. The first time I didn't renew because they spent probably double my membership dues mailing me stuff asking for more money. The second time I had forgotten about the first or I wouldn't have joined again. I'm all about the 2nd Amendment, but I felt...

    Finnish [SA] marking, authentic or forgery?

    I'm pretty new to collecting stuff, but I found this SA mark on a gun and it appears atypical because the box is broken under the A. I haven't found any examples of this anywhere on the internet in my research and I was wondering if anyone could tell me with any certainty whether or not this is...

    Should I thread a MAK-91 or not?

    Anyone know about where to get one of the original (or same style) bipod that came with them? Mine had no accessories besides the sling and 5 round mag, so I'm looking to pick all that other stuff up eventually as well.

    Milsurp Rifle for Hunting/SHTF?

    I like Missouri's law. So long as it doesn't hold more than 10+1 and you use an expanding type bullet. In Illinois my Uncle can only use a bow or shotgun.

    Should I thread a MAK-91 or not?

    lol, I'm not shooting at anyone I hope, and definitely no full-auto. Didn't think it would detract from accuracy, but now that you say it, that's a darn good reason to keep it stock. Keeping it stock has its limits though, because the exact reason why I actually got to it at the gun show was...

    Milsurp Rifle for Hunting/SHTF?

    Wow, M44 is around $200 now? Not sure how much I paid for mine, but wasn't much over $100. I saw something that someone wrote that was kinda funny and true. You can't pay too much for a gun, you can only pay too soon. lol. Think about it.

    Should I thread a MAK-91 or not?

    No, I don't mean a NHM 91 or MAK 90, I'm talking an actual factual Norinco factory 386 National Match MAK-91. It's got the longer, thicker, heavier, but unthreaded barrel on it, and I like this tapco 5 port M16 style muzzlebreak/flash deflector I had on a crappy WASR-10 I'm getting rid of. I'd...

    Milsurp Rifle for Hunting/SHTF?

    SKS is the best budget utility gun IMO. For a hunting rifle it is similar to a 30-30 as far as how you would use it, plenty effective out to 200 yards. Don't let anyone mess with your head as far as "accuracy" is concerned, the shooter is most often the limiting factor in the equation by not...

    is head protection impractical?

    Friend of mine got a jagged piece of burning shrapnel lodged in his helmet when they got hit by an IED. He did get knocked unconscious but I don't think anyone could say with any certainty whether it was the object striking his helmet or the blast itself. Either way I can call him up and talk...

    US born Islamic terrorist urges purchase of local firearms to commit mass murder

    I think you're right Justin, but I must say that the 2nd is by far the most important. Why? Because even if all the others are taken away, as long as we have the 2nd we have the means to regain the others. If the 2nd is taken away, it's only a matter of time before the others are trampled...

    US born Islamic terrorist urges purchase of local firearms to commit mass murder

    Those who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it. Is this not the same country who threw thousands of Japanese-Americans into internment camps during WW2? The same country where we had the red scare and commissions to determine if persons were "un-Amarican." Google Executive Order...

    US born Islamic terrorist urges purchase of local firearms to commit mass murder

    I don't know man. It was pretty convenient how the President came on television, announced that Osama was dead, we did a DNA check to be sure, then buried him at sea so that the corpse could never be retrieved or tested again. They have pictures they won't show us, but trust them, they got...

    What's the oldest gun you own ?

    Here's a treat for you guys. A Mosin-Nagant 1891 Dragoon model dated 1897 in (almost) original configuration. The only things which do not fit the date of production are some arsenal markings from later on and the 2 piece Finnish stock. However, they tell the story of the rifle. Produced in...

    Should rule two be revised or reworded?

    I think the 4 rules we used in the Marines were simple and effective. We recited them every day when we went to the range before we were given our ammunition. NAVMC 42 (Rev. 11-06) I'm not going to address all "what if" scenarios. I'll just state this to cover them all. The 4 rules are...

    Service Rifle Modifications

    Mainre Corps, and M16A4 with some kind of ACOG is what I got. I was in a support role at Al Asad, so a lot of our guys would get a mag pouch that mounted to their buttstock so that they could keep a mag with the rifle. It really just depends on your command how much you can do with the rifle...

    Looking at AKs, which caliber and model to get?

    Got my $650 out of it so I'll be shopping for that replacement gun now :) Anyone know about the SGL-21?

    Guideline for Handgun Barrel Lengths

    Not too bad for a general guide, I think it might help someone looking to purchase a pistol, sure. I think the length and use is pretty helpful but not really the range. Only reason I say this is because in my opinion pistols have less to do with practical accuracy out to any given range than...
