On the Falfiles I once saw a pic of an SKS converted to .223 by a 'smith called Meeper, who specializes in caliber changes for FALs. Try tracking him down.

also This guy, M&M Gunsmithing, has good reviews, too, and he's local for you.

Century Gun Works (Not Century Arms!) Rich at CGW built me this sweet carbine about a year ago, it's been a joy to shoot.

My MAK-90 with Fiberforce Stock, bipod, and Romanian drum. Cheap and fun.

Both of my carry guns are SIGs, but the P232 doesn't quite do it for me. After playing with the SIG and the Walther I got my wife a Bersa Model 85 (older hi-cap version of the Thunder, hope they put something similar out again) for a graduation present and she's loved it (and I've loved to...

Like the other posters said, the grip is VERY fat and the saftey is way too stiff. I was very interested in them after seeing them in minority report and then seeing the prices, but after handling one I decided on a SIG P239 instead. After carrying my SIG for the last year and putting a five...

My favorite is my 18" FAL carbine buily by Rich at CGW. 100% reliable, cheap mags, very accurate Austrian surplus barrel. It was expensive to build, but with the aluminum lower and other low-weight mods it weighs less than 8 pounds empty and the VOW sights are killer. Wouldn't change a thing...

I don't have one, but I often hear that having a good 'smith chop the Mini-14 barrel down to 16" can do wonders for the rifle's accuracy.

Texas Tactical has'em.

I'm also a fairly small-handed shooter (one of my female friends has hands exactly identical to mine) and I've been very comfortable shooting just about any single stack handgun. I have a SIG P220 .45, which is about as big as I can handle comfortably and a SIG P239 that fits my hand like it...

RRA components seem pretty cheap. too... Anyone here have any experience with their $95 NM Trigger (via ADCO) versus the $140 LMT, the $175 Jewell, or the $180 Armalite models?

Hey, there's a new pic up in the FALfiles of an R22 with flash suppressor :) http://www.falfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118347

I don't know the details about Vector, but if they're using Izzy or South African parts I believe that you are mistaken. My understanding is that the manufacture of the receiver is significant only as one part towards the final count. My STG-58 FAL has a US-made DSA receiver and was assembled...

Nope. Don't do it! That would violate the import ban. Taking a gun that was imported after being deemed "suitable for sporting purposes" and changing it into another configuration is illegal. The only way around it is to make it a "US-made rifle" by swapping out enough parts that there are...

Great letter, thanks for sharing it.

Also be aware that the Tangodown grip is built for the 1913 spec - some manufacturers of rail systems and bolt-on rails reduce the depth of the cut on the 1913 spec in order to keep them from protruding too low. The TD grip will not fit on these rails without some alteration. That's...

My wife, the main user of my AR-15 is interested in putting a forend vertical grip on it. I think it might make sense since she tends to support the rifle by the magazine when she shoots it, and a proper grip would probably be comfortable. Who's got one on their rifle and how do you like it...

hksw- the one I was bidding on was authentic and it ended up going for $12.50... probably because most people were blocked from bidding on it. I like the two you posted though. I'll probably end up going with one of those. RileyMc- Actually, Mass isn't too bad for rifles. You need permits...

I Can't Frickin' Believe EBay... Man do they suck. After a few weeks of patient lurking I finally found a good deal on a WWII US-issue M1923 cartridge belt-- a canvas belt with ten small pockets, each sized to hold a Garand en-bloc clip or a pair of stripper clips. I placed my bid on it and...
