I recently purchased an 870 express turkey. I chose that model because I basically wanted a general use shotgun. I liked the 21inch barrel that the gun came with because of it's removable choke capability and i really shoot better with the vent rib. i think this would be useful for defense...

Have you handled a s&w model 76 lately? Compaired to that, an ak-47 is ergonomic heaven. Also, ak sights are more than enough to exceed the accuracy capability of the pistol rounds being fired, and miles better than the sights of the old smg's. Obviously the point of this supposed design is to...

you guys really are discouraging. yes, I agree the sten isn't a very good gun by todays standards, but that's not because it's made from simple materials! it's because someone put the magazine well on the side, it's god a badly designed trigger, bad sights, ect. it was hastily produced in a time...

Sorry for mis labeling those guns as junk. That's just my opinion. I just think they all have a magazine or ergonomic problem that could have been avoided but wasn't. The main benefits of my design idea would be extreme simplicity. Also the idea of having two trigger frame configurations...

We've seen our fair share of tech-9's, hi point carbines, kel tek's and other "affordable" firearms that turned out as junk. Thinking about the nature of these weapons and their past militairy counterparts like the sten and s&w 76, I imagined a modern version being made that would surpass all...

I'd say they're pretty accurate. Mine is one of the least accurate m-1's I've seen producing four moa groups. Despite this, I recently shot it past 100 yards for the first time. I set up a man sised target at 300 yards wondering if a cold bore hit was possible just by dialing in. Sure enough my...

i've been looking into something of that sort as well. i want to buy a .22lr "trainer" rifle to practice with before i wind up getting the remington LTR set up that i want. i've chosen the savage MKII varmint rifle for my future rig. of witch, the final price should be around 600 bones due...

Yep it's a pretty cool niche. although... That's no ordinary pump. it'll go all the way up to 3000 psi. Expensive stuff too.

i had a hard time believing it too, but you have to keep in mind that these are very accurate rifles using good ammunition in front of great shooters. check it out- 150 yards- http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1136501#Post1136501 just some talk-...

Recently on other gun forums a few people have tested their accurate rimfire rifles as far out as 500 yards with suprising success. The idea has sparked my interest quite a bit. I'm half way saved up to a 7.62 LTR rig that i'd planned to try my hand at long range shooting with but it's going...

check this guy out. www.m4040.com go to his basement bladesmithing page and check out is kukri modification page. the colt steel kukri machete isn't a bad tool. thakes a pretty good beating.

pressure is not the only thing that matters. your calculations are also very wrong. the most powerful co2 gun would probably be a modified crosman. some have come close to 800 fps in .22. then again... co2 becomes much more efficient as you increase the bore sise. a modified 9mm crosman 2240...

ok. you asked for it. expect to see an informative article on airguns an the new week or so. would you like to see anything in specific? please ask.

the gamo whisper is supposed to be pretty quiet. then again... all springers are really quiet. (it seems quite loud to the shooter because of vibration) a multi pump pneumatic can be pretty quiet too. you can pump one 2-4 times for aplications that require low noise production while...

Are the two piece handguard replacements actually solid enough for a scope though? unless thay clamp to the barrel somehow, i would imagine they would woble. that's not an option with optics.
