    Buying an "Assault Weapon" from someone in California

    A buddy who lives out in California is looking to sell a gun he owns that is on their "Assault Weapon" list. He registered it when all that nonsense started there a few years back but neither of us is really familiar with how to sell it legally. Most of the California law stuff I come across...

    Bren L4 mags in an FAL

    Anybody have experience with Bren L4 mags being used in an FAL? It looks like the front lug is a little too wide and need to be ground down to fit but I don't want to start messing with them without finding out for sure. What is a reasonable price for these nowdays? I understand the DSA used...

    Just passed on an RFB, am I crazy?

    Just had an opportunity to buy a new in box Kel Tec RFB from a major dealer for $1500 and decided to pass. Mostly just didn't need to buy another rifle right now but have kind of been spooked by the various reports of problems. Am I crazy?

    12 gauge sling/bandoleer?

    I'm looking for a sling to carry a shotgun that also has loops to hold shells.... I have seen them before but can't seem to find one now. I have looked at all my usual online shopping places and tried a few google searches but just don't seem to be able to find a sling with loops to carry...

    Colt Python blue 4" price check / opinions needed

    Colt Python blue 4" checking s/n looks like it was made in 1978 Guy selling is a old timer type dealer, got it from another old timer type friend of his. He has been very honest with me in the past and unlike most dealers I believe him. Says it was never fired and from the look of it that...

    Steinkamp rifles / SW1? ***?

    Seen ads for this thing in Shotgun News and was curious because it was rather unique looking and the rather significant price. I suppose an over/under bull pup rifle with a composite stock/overmolding could have a certain appeal. But for $4800? It does seem to be offered in some unique...

    Anybody know if the mags are interchangeable?

    Gold plating an AK?

    Yes, it's a rather cheezy third world dictator type of thing to do but I want a gold plated AK. My current thinking is to start with those nice Yugo under folders and get it plated up. For the furniture do up some good wood hand guards from Ironwood designs. Seems like it could be fun to...

    DSA FAL para scope mount?

    Picked up a DSA Para FAL scope mount a while back and am now looking at a regular STG58 FAL. Will the Para scope mount work with the regular rifle? Couldn't think of any reasons it wouldn't but figured I would ask and see if I was missing something.

    FN 5.7 IOM - $879 - how good a deal?

    Local shop got an IOM 5.7 and is asking $879. Appears to be new or very lightly used with the case, mags and other stuff. How good a deal is this? Is it a good deal? Not sure what exactly the differences are between IOM and other models but it seems to be limited availability.

    S&W 629 .44 mag for $489 - Good deal? What to look for?

    Local gun shop has a real nice looking stainless 629 for what seems like a decent price of $489. It looks barely used and the finish is nearly new condition. Grips are the wood ones with a kinda of waffle pattern that I understand can get uncomfortable. Cylinder seems ok for tightness, didn't...

    Chinese SKS that takes AK mags - how good? Price?

    A shop I frequent has a very nice looking Chinese SKS that will take AK mags. It looks real good but sometimes looks aren't eveything. How do they rank? What is a reasonable price? Anybody buy or sell one recently?

    M2 - belt fed semi .50 - what to look for?

    Found what looks to be a good deal on a TNW built semi auto M2. Dealer that has it on consignment doesn't think it has been used much if at all and that is my impression as well. The thing looks to be all there and in new shape but I don't really know what all to look for. It doesn't help...

    DSA SA58 FAL - had it a couple weeks and really not impressed

    For some time now I have been reading about how great the FAL was and a few weeks ago I finally picked up a new DSA SA58 Para. Initial impression of the thing is that it's a very solid and well put together piece. I was a little bit surprised to find that the magazines rock into place similar...

    Easiest way to remove AR gas block?

    Trying to remove the gas block which is turning out to be a little tougher than I expected.... yes, I'm trying to punch the pins out the right direction. I don't plan on ever using the thing again and am wondering what the quickest/easiest way to get it off. Kinda thinking of just drilling the...

    FAL scope mounts?

    There seem to be a few different scope mounts out there for the FAL and I'm trying to figure out what might work best. The rifle is a DSA and I figured that theirs would probably be a good place to start. The original STANAG type that Sarco and a few other places have seem like they wouldn't...

    Hensoldt on other rifles? How?

    Thinking about putting a Hensoldt scope on an FAL but I'm not quite sure how to do it. The DSA scope mount is straightforward enough but the Hensoldt has that funny STANAG type screw on thing to be attached to mounts like the HK claw. So I guess I'm looking for some kind of adapter that will...

    Sig 556 mag problematic?

    Used it maybe once when I first got the 556 and don't remember having any problems. Tried it yesterday in an AR and it would not feed reliably at all. Anybody else have problems with them?

    Non-reloader is curious....

    I saw this breakdown in another section regarding .308: So how long does it take to reload 1k of ammo? Gotta imagine it that it takes some time to clean, deprime, resize and then go through all the actual reloading stuff? I have seen those some nifty Dillon reloaders rigs that look like...

    DS STG58 vs SA58

    I couldn't really find an explanation on the DSA site but I'm guessing that the STG58 is assembled with an Austrian parts kit which is what makes it cheaper than an otherwise equivalent SA58 which is presumably put together with all new parts? Is there any particular downside to the STG58...
