    berretta 950bs feeds slow to a stop

    I just spray clean my pistol with Rem-Oil, couldn't be simpler. I spray it all, even the magazine, and wipe it down with a soft lint free cloth. Happy shooting!

    Who makes a good M16 clone

    Depends on your definition of 'break the bank'..try armslist, gunsamerica, Fulton armory..prices I'm seeing are $1000+..

    What was the ubiquitous carbine before the AR15?

    True, popular is probably an exaggeration, but it was well liked by police, military, ranchers and criminals..lol

    Your Defensive weapons in the home.

    Well, I protect myself within reason, but my home is not exactly a fortress..my two grown sons and I, do also have karate training..I also put my faith in God for His protection..

    Your Defensive weapons in the home.

    Hi-Point C9 9mm pistol bedside, loaded but not chambered, in open gun case. Mosin rifle in closet, in zippered case, with two five round clips.

    brushes and patches

    What they said^, but I think it's mostly exaggerated - rifle steel is pretty tough stuff generally. I clean my Mosin rifle, drawing the brush back and forth repeatedly. Bore is quite clean and sharp, for a 1933 rifle.

    I've heard that before the 1934 NFA, the Thompson sub-machine gun was popular in the civilian market. Otherwise the M1 carbine, Garand or Winchester '94..

    Is G2 RIP like a "buzz saw"?

    Oh yes, I know..I'm just saying that similar fantastic claims were made for the 193 round in Vietnam, but never quite lived up to the hype..

    Is G2 RIP like a "buzz saw"?

    Sounds similar to the claims made to the original m193 5.56x45 round. Some truth behind it, but not 100% reliable. Sorry, again - no magical bullet..

    Remington Golden Saber 9mm 124g versus Federal Hydrashok 9mm 124g

    Try both and go with the one that functions best, or whichever you prefer..just that simple. Hollow-points have come a long way..lots of good choices..

    Today Is The 19th Of November

    Kimber or Dan Wesson, S&W, Ruger, Colt, Sig, etc. Lol..I own a Hi-Point C9 and a 1933 Mosin rifle - love them both! My wife & I are working class people, with little disposable income..

    Where does the 7mm Wby shine.

    Wow..beautiful rifle & powerful cartridge, but way overkill for your average deer hunt..lol

    looking for the next budget handgun <$400

    I'm happy for you. Hi-Point makes a quality product, at a low price and is one of the best values in firearms. Having said that, I have shot Glock, S&W, Springfield and Taurus and enjoyed them all. The Springfield XD is the most accurate and comfortable handgun I've ever shot. I would LOVE to...

    looking for the next budget handgun <$400

    Any Hi-Point gun! I own the model C9, 9mm and love it! Around 1200+ rounds fmj & jhp fired, for 13 minor stoppages ( 9 double-feed, 3 fail-to-feed & 1 stovepipe ). Soft recoil, good sights, comfortable in the hand and simple to clean. $149.95 online in November 2012. Great value!
