So, for the past month, I've been trying to find PSL magazines, at least four of them. I have been unable to find any of them, anywhere. Lots of places have advertisements for them, but are all listed as "out of stock". I know they didn't all disappear, does anybody here know of a place...

The quality has improved... but its still spotty. And I wouldnt trust their 7.62x39 for a while. My Sig's problems were related to how they assembled the top rail and a lack of good iron sights, their stock front sight left much to be desired. I ditched the plastic handguards and replaced the...

I apologize if this thread is a repeat, but I couldn't find any answers to my problem on a search My fs 2000 has had several years of reliable performance, but yesterday it died on me. The bolt will not go into battery, while loaded or dry. When fully assembled, I can see that it needs...

Tyeo098, you are correct, after looking into it I was thinking about the AVS-36. Simonov directly designed that one. and to the op: just get a Mosin Nagant... itll be cheaper than any other 7.62x54R platform

they made one already, its the SVT 40... or SVT 38... I cant remember which one the SKS is based off of its action for a smaller "more modern" (circa 1943) caliber

dont forget the ability to see the target at that distance, over 1000, normal things start looking really small

It might help if you say what kind of rifle you're trying to modify. I'm assuming its a nagant, but there's more than one type of rifle that fires that caliber...

Since when does the SCAR need an allen wrench for a field strip? Mine comes apart without tools for a basic breakdown. The allen wrench is for removing the barrel, which isnt really needed for an average cleaning. (And a big plus one for the LMT... those things make me drool)

Why not get the magpul VFG designed specifically for the MOE handguard? Or just get a rail segment for it and put on any VFG you like. It's all user preference, no right answers.

Normally it takes longer for a thread to get off topic and onto 5.56 vs 7.62... And I know many Marines, paratroopers, Rangers, snipers and other active duty types that dont have a problem with either. Dont feed the flame.

I run P-mags and Lancers out of my SCAR, never a problem with function. I hear some of the older P-mags will not drop free,but I've never experienced it. However that'd be the worst problem you encounter. Run whatever mags you want, the 16 will take it and ask for more.

Ahhh... hate the MK 19 disassembly, makes the M2 look like a dream. Of the stuff I own, the Mosin-Nagant has the toughest bolt take down, everything else is smooth.

Thanks Taliv, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. And thanks to everyone else for the help.

Wow... all this help came fast. Normally it takes a few days before I get to one page. I appreciate all of the help and ideas. My concerns arent so much that people will find out I'm a gun nut, that will happen eventually. I just want it to be on my own pace. My place is littered with...

Okay, I normally dont post threads like this. And moderators, feel free to delete this if it's too off topic. Hypothetically, if you were single and going on dates with new people. How do you bring up the subject that you own firearms... lots of them? It'd be fine if it was just one or...
