    FR8 & FR7 owners: Show 'em here please.

    I would much rather have a FR7. The FR8 I had was meh. The rear sight is badly positioned for a straight bolt as it will cause your knuckles to get torn up, needs to be angled.

    CZ BREN 805s are coming in!

    I really like the gen 1, the gen 2 redesign looks ugly.

    Looking for feedback on Chiappa Rhino

    I am still on the fence about the Rhino. I really really wanted one when I saw the first prototypes roll out at a euroarms trade event in Ukraine about 7 or 8 years ago. But now that it is finally here all I really want is some of the other russian designs like these... Then again if they...

    Winchester 71 .50 Alaskan

    Ya, that is a 7.62x39 I was just trying to find some loose ammo to compare it to without having to dig through pallets of ammo to find my 45/70.

    Winchester 71 .50 Alaskan

    At the beginning of June I was in Reno for a few days with my brother while he was on R&R from his unit in Iraq. Walked into a gunstore and immediately spotted something interesting hanging on the wall. Like a light from the heavens it called out my name and I know I had to have it, even after I...

    Did i get ripped off?

    About 3 years back I bought my Arsenal SLR-106FR (side folder) with just the standard 10 round mag for $900 and I overpaid at that time. You could find them for 600-700 all day long. Now the SLR series is getting kind of scarce due to the lack of bulgarian kits and because Arsenal has mainly...

    Best non German mauser...

    Swedish, argentine and Persians are the best of the Mauser breeds, any one who argues differently does not know what they are talking about. The general rule of thumb is that contract and swedish mausers are on the high end of the quality scale. While wartime manufactured and post ww2 mausers...

    5.45x39mm american made ammo? will it happen?

    Manufacturers still make long out of service rounds like 8x57, 7x57, and 7x63. So what makes you think that 5.45x39 is going any where? The only thing that will disappear is CHEAP surplus.

    Cz p-07

    I had one and did not personally care for the cheap soft plastic feel of the frame. Sold it and bought a Steyr M9 instead. The P-07 was a fine handgun, I just wish they made the frame of a harder plastic.

    My new Caracal

    I have a Steyr M9 and the caracal just does not appeal to me at all for some reason. However My bother who had the M9 (I bought it for him and he sold it back to me) as well as the M-A1 really wants a caracal.

    Gonna Grab an AK, probably an Arsenal

    No not quite. What arsenal does is not only make them 922 compliant, but they return the rifles to AK-100 spec...something that you in fact can not do cheaper then they can, because buying all of the parts needed for such a conversion will cost you just as much/more.

    .348 Winchester

    Well, I recognize that backdrop there detonics. anyways, I have lusted over a .348 for some time now, and it is certainly on my list. No one makes a winchester 71 in other calibers that matches that profile.

    Looking to buy an AK rifle...

    WASR-10 = Used surplus or rejected parts that are sent to century arms to be assembled by poorly trained workers. This is evident in badly head spaced rifle with canted front sights and excessive mag wobble due to the rifles being imported as single stack and ground open carelessly. Yes, you...
