    Remington 700 vs M1917 (P14)?

    I'm doing a little research on the history and predecessors of the Reminton 700. I know about the Remington Model 721 and 722, but some sources claim that the true ancestor is the British P14 / US M1917 rifle. What similarities, common characteristics the M1917 and Remington Model 700 have? I...

    Outfitting A Security Contractor Team

    I have friends working over there for smaller companies. After some casualties, shootings they completely dropped the "bullet magnets" (aka flashy SUVs) and switched to low profile, ragged looking, unarmored local vehicles with tinted windows (+w/ picture of Saddam or other...

    "What handgun chambered for 9mm (autoloader of course) has the least felt recoil? Do you think it's by design or other factors (weight?)" Least felt recoil? A Kel-Tec P11 with 5 bricks glued on the frame:-))

    What gun is this?

    OK, but the most important is: for defensive purposes buy guns which are known as reliable products. For small amount of money you probably can not buy such gun, the only exception is probably the Makarov. For inexpensive, but good defensive gun, I would buy a used SW or Taurus snubbie...

    New Gun Magazine Circulation figures

    4-5 years ago I got so sick of the US gun magazines that I cancelled all my subscriptions. Why should I pay for something where almost every article or review is a paid advertisement?? :cuss: Small Arms Review is the only exception that comes to my mind... If I want printed media and...

    Handgun pictures: Let's see your recent best work. Ichiro style!

    jmilliron, Good lighting is more important than a good lens (although I used the sharpest Canon macro). This picture was made with a cheap 500w reflector (directed to the ceiling) and a few light bouncer cards. Post porcessing is mandatory with digital pictures.

    My letter to THR (long)...

    "I don’t know, maybe I could have better chances for the license as a dead victim of violent crime? I’m not sure about it and I don’t want to check out such possibility, but I know one thing. It’s a "normal" practice here. In Poland the right to keep arms is reserved and divided...

    High-flash low-smoke 9mm ammo?

    Can you guys recommend me 9x19mm ammo which is producing high muzzle flash and (relatively) low smoke? Jacketed rounds preferred. I need this for photographic purposes (see my "going ballistic" thread). Thanks!

    I am going ballistic! (photos)

    45r, Unfortunately a millionth sec flash costs 8.000-16.000 USD. That would completely freeze the bullet in flight. I have no money for a device like this, but I am in the (slow) process of building one... What I used is a consumer flash which can produce (depending on the model)...

    I am going ballistic! (photos)

    mfree, The shutter speed doesn't matter. All you need is a flash wired to an IR or sound trigger.
