I almost purchased an Arsenal for about $1200. Craftsmanship is great, and you're paying for a tighter, more polished gun, but you're not guaranteed a great shooter (as with ANY AK purchase). Just something to keep in mind. I came across a great deal for a WASR-10 that I was able to look...

Here's how mine shoots. 13 shot group that falls within 2". American Eagle at the 50 yard line.

I just picked one up last week for $400. Came with both a 30 and 40 round mag. Mine shoots very well. These AES-10B's are great deals IMHO. You can't go wrong with this rifle, unless you get a dud. I may pick up another one at this price.

Tim, do you have a scope riser on your Varmint? Did you get the A4 or EOP? I've got a 20" A4 on order.

FL2AK, on your RRA with the Eotech, is that a YHM/RRA rail? Which sights are those? Nice rifles.

I would like to paint the front bead something that would be somewhat visible at night? Any suggestions on something that would last in the long run?

The point was that if that's how it looks after ONLY 150 rounds, I wonder what it's going to look like after 5,000. It seems premature, compared to my Glock which, though still new, has probably 2,500 rounds through it and doesn't have anywhere near as much wear as the XD-45. Again, I know...

How did you Duracoat your slide?

Regarding rust or failures, point taken. I just tend to be a stickler about a new gun that shows wear marks after only 150 rounds. Here are a few pics, as promised. And some eye bling...

No signs of rust.

I'll post some "macro" shots tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I recently picked up an XD-45 and put 150 round through it. Upon cleaning and closer inspection, I noticed that some of the internal finishes are showing some of the shiny metal underneath the finish. The top of the receiver is also wearing. It is minimal but enough to notice up close. I...

Just picked up an XD-45 Tactical and 3 mags. Still getting used to what I feel is a somewhat mushy trigger. It's dead accurate out of the box and is very comfortable to shoot.

I recently picked this up. It's an 870 Express Magnum that came with 18.5" barrel, 6-cap mag, Butler Creek pistol grip w/ folding stock. I put a Limbsaver on it and trimmed out some of the rubber for a more custom fit. I also have inexpensive red dot scope on it and will be adding a tactical...

This is "Mercy". She watches over us at night. 870 Express Magnum, 18.5", 6+1
