Several nations have come to the peak of excellence and then declined due to cost contraints of a dwindling demand. Factors such as heat treatment, finish, novel design improvements, accuracy and manufaturing methods for various parts and subassemblies during different time periods would need...

Who would send off money to some anonymous listing on Armslist? If you are not registered on a site and able to see that someone has been registered with the same username and info for months or years why would you trust them?

ARMALITE AR-10S Armalites are boat anchors, I bought my first one in the late 1990s and the disconnect broke on the first outing, Armalite fixed it then that same rifle developed blow-by at the gas block within 500rds and I got that fixed and quickly put it on consignment on a gunshop wall. I...

I am in love with mine,I inherited it and even thought about selling it when someone told me what it was worth but this thing is the most reliable best feeling and frankly lovable 22 pistol I have ever shot.

This a shooting buddy's converted Saiga 308 and he scrounged his parts and put it together with a really nice adjustable trigger for under $600. http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/AMNESTYC3/January2008044.jpg http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd164/AMNESTYC3/CIMG0721.jpg

I think they have separate batches for training and deployment but the weapon replacement bulletin was in a PDF from NAVSEA proper and also mentioned referenced in the JFK Special Warfare Center bulletin.Last time I read that was in the late 1990's but the weapons have not significantly improved...

M16 extractors break and their springs lose temper faster than any other rifle because the direct impingement gas system "cooks" the bolt and thermally damages first the spring and after you replace about 4 of those your extractor or extractor pin which is going to go bye bye before your 5th...

Any news on this old post? Ok,I have seen something like this available though Brownells but the price is waaaaaay too high because it is a machined part.Make the part out of polymer instead of metal and cut the $50 price tag in half and make sure that picatinny rail comes all the way to the...

2337 to 70 :D

I thought Saigas must be rubbish due to their low cost and rattle can looking finish but now that I have had the chance to experience the shotgun and the 308 rifle for myself I can honestly say they are equal or superior to any rifle that can be had for $1000 or less. Reasonable accuracy...

I've looked for a long long time and only found one guy who had done it and wouldn't do it for anyone else.He said it was very involved and required a milling machine. Edit:It was Ken Christie the inventor of the 10/22 Super Stock that first converted a PC9 to acept Glock magazines he is the...

The Kahr product will shoot circles around a GI carbine and is made on modern accurate CNC machinery. The only problem I have heard about them is that the headspace is a little tight for some of the most out of spec ammo but in every way that can be measured they are made better than the...

I don't think the entire Roman Legio X Fretensis was mobilized into a 2 year operation and massive seige works just to throw out squatters:D If Masada was the last hold out of the Zealots then they had already killed enough Romans to cause 3 Roman governors to lose their jobs not to mention...

I am seeing this in my head and almost inspired to try to build my own modified version of it from aluminum with a lighter barrel and barrel block and the rear of the receiver terminating in a CAR buffer tube complete with spring and buffer in place of the rubber bumpers. I think I need to...

OUTSTANDING!!!! smince,that was a great explanation of the mechanism of that particlar unit.So at least the last couple of inches of that upper receiver is rubber buffers and it is sealed at the rea and assembles from the front via the barrel retaining blocks? Theoretically then I could take...
