    Dating an old flint lock from Saudi Arabia

    Thx for the input guys and gals. The rifle hangs on a rock wall next to a wood burning stove. On the other side of the wood stove is an OLD double barrel shotgun. :) The overall effect of the muzzle loader rifle, wood stove and old shotgun works out well. Its a nice conversation piece, to...

    Dating an old flint lock from Saudi Arabia

    Here are some pictures I took this past weekend. The only visible markings are on this location of the rifle between the hammer and the powder pan. The markings are faded, but it looks like a circle about the size of a nickle.

    AR-15 and AK-47 prices - what happened?

    Whats sad, I saw this same exact thing when bill clinton was elected, and re-elected. When george bush sr. signed the assualt rifle bill, ar-15 prices tripled over night. Just a couple of months ago, Bushmaster AR-15s at academy sports + outdoors in beaumont texas were $850 - $900. I still...

    Dating an old flint lock from Saudi Arabia

    A buddy of mine showed me a VERY old flint lock muzzle loader he has. The rifle has the flip down shield that goes over the powder pan, octagon or hexagon barrel and came out of Saudi Arabia. The rifle was given to a local attorney who defended an oil company that was owned by someone out of...

    AR-15 and AK-47 prices - what happened?

    There is a gun store about 15 miles from my house that I visit on occasion. For the past 2 years they have been keeping AR-15s and AK-47s in stock. Their usual price on an AK was around $400, and around $800 - $900 for an AR-15. When I dropped by yesterday, the AR-15 was $1,450 and the AK-47...

    H&R shotguns?

    $240 seems a little high for something made over seas and then imported. You could almost get a remington 870 express for that much or a mossberg 500.

    Which *Reliable* .45 Auto?

    If you want a low cost 45 (as compared to other brandnames), consider the ruger P90. I had one and it would eat anything. I used to reload a lot and that pistol worked with every brand name of bullet I fed it.

    The ups and downs of Ruger 77s????

    A buddy of mine has a 300 winchester magnum in a model 77. I have seen him and that rifle make 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards. That rifle was well worth the money he spent on it.

    Warming up to The Lock

    Can someone please tell me what this "lock" is? I own a S&W Model 66 combat magnum in 357 magnum - it was a gift from my mom and dad in 1986. As far as the drop in sales of S&W, when they produce a hand gun like what I want then I will consider buying one. I want a 6 inch blued S&W in...

    Is academy sport and outdoors selling used pistols?

    Ok, so why did the pistols at the academy in Beaumont look so wore and beat up? New pistols are not usually missing bluing or have surface rust. The statement "academy does not sell used firearms" is what the guy behind the counter told me, but that does not mean it is the truth. There is no...

    Is academy sport and outdoors selling used pistols?

    Is academy sport and outdoors selling used pistols and telling their customers they are new? On Friday, December 28th, I was at academy sport and outdoors in Beaumont texas. While looking at the pistols, I noticed several had the bluing wore off of them. One pistol, a beretta 92FS had more...

    romanian The romanian wasr-10 are fine rifles. The stock might need a little work, the front sight might have a little cant toit, but over all it is a fine rifle.
