    Are all polytech AKs milled?

    I was looking at a preban polytech AKS sidefolder. Are these all milled? My search turned up some contradictory information. Thanks!

    How silly would a CX4-storm be for self defense?

    To resurrect this thread: has anyone ever seen anyone with a modified storm with a true pistol grip? Is it possible (for a gunsmith or someone who knows what they are doing) to simply cut off the piece that connects the grip to the rear stock?

    How silly would a CX4-storm be for self defense?

    As others have posted, lots of LEOs and military personnel seem pretty confident in the MP5 (even these days). So, I don't have a problem with with +P 9mm HPs for home defense. My question, though, is why didn't Beretta give the Storm a true pistol grip? Is it a tactical design, a legal thing?

    Firearms permit in MA?

    Check out www.northeastshooters.com for lots of details about our crazy laws. Here in MA pistol permits are entirely at the discretion of each town's police chief. As a result in some towns, just about anyone can get a Class-A LTC with no restrictions (i.e. CC permit), while in other...

    The optimal CQB firearm

    For the civilian world, I think it's hard to beat a 9mm carbine. The average BG isn't going to wearing body armor. The key is to hit him. A low recoiling, easy to shoot 9mm loaded with +P HPs would get the job done.

    Anyone have pics of a SOCOM with scout scope?

    I'm thinking about putting a scout scope (probably a Leupold FX-II Scout Rifle Scope 2.5x 28mm) on my SOCOM 16. A couple people have told me I'd be better off with an aimpoint and the 2.5X isn't worth it. I'm trying to picture what the scope would look like on my SOCOM. Does anyone have...

    Will TD vert grip work with YHM rails?

    Thanks. Great looking rifle. It's kind of a bummer that most vert grips don't fit these rails though....

    Will TD vert grip work with YHM rails?

    I was told that a Tango Down may not fit by YHM rails (I'm currently running the light weight FF 4 rail model). Anyone know if this is true? If anyone owns this forend, what vert grip are you running? Thanks!

    Could this be the best all-around rifle ever?

    I have a SOCOM 16 in the standard stock. It's a very nice rifle - but the one drawback is that it is very heavy.

    A few M1A questions

    Pics?

    AR 15 (5.56) versus 12ga Shotgun for HD

    Both very good choices. I guess a pump shotgun has the edge on reliability and probably easy of operation under stress. 30-30 lever may be another platform to consider. Use high quality ammo and practice with which ever one you choose and you should be in good shape. My shotgun is...

    Converting .45 1911 to 9mm

    Here in MA we can only purchase firearms approved by the AG : http://www.fsguns.com/fsg_information.html As a result, 1911s in 9mm are impossible to find, with the exception of Paras, which I do not want. I am considering putting together a custom 1911 in 9mm, however it was suggested...

    Poll on magpul masada

    If the price tag ends up around $1,500 or better (dealer price), I'll most likely pick one up. I'm not really married to any platform: I love my M1A, I love my AR and I love my AK. The ACR looks like it would be a ton of to shoot.
