    Extended mags for SKS not so bad afterall?

    I have had experience with 30rd steel mags, Tapco 20rd mags, and the standard 10rd box mag that is originally issued on the gun. The 30 rounders tend to jam, and are a haslte to insert. The 20rd tapcos are more reliable, but once again are a pain to insert into the gun. The original 10 round...

    M1A and FAL - ultimate decision - I need an answer ASAP!

    I will start off with my experience for both. For the M14, zero, but it seems to be a very reliable and accurate rifle. As for the Fal, i do own one, and have shot many rounds in her. 1.) I have had ONE stoppage in the rifle, and it is because for 1) I was trying to take the cheap route and...

    Burris scopes

    Burris makes some great scopes, i have a Fullfield 2 4.5x14x42mm on my Bulgy FAL, it is extreamly crisp and clear. A very stout scope. Im only 18, and was tempted to just buy some Wallmart scope, but luckily i spent the extra $ and got a quality one. if you buy one they are awsome, you wont...

    Choosen rifle platform

    I heart my FAL, the only draw back is that it is over 10 pounds, easy, especially with ammo. But, im 6'8" 305, so it doesnt bother me too much. you get the distance of an ar15, but with much greater stopping power.

    Not Again: .223 vs. 7.62 by 39

    If i was being shot at by gang members, i would pick up my ak, because i dont have an mini 14. But i would rather use my Mossberg 590, 9 shells of 00 should do the trick at close range a little better. I would rather not be in that situation at all,

    Has anyone found GOOD stripper clips for the M44?

    ya, cosmoline is right, i had the same problem, then realized that the rims were hanging up on each other, that would really suck to have happen in the heat of battle!

    7.62x25 Tokarev is obviously a good handgun round...Why isn't it more popular?

    Alls i know is that this caliber is FUN to shoot, especially since it is cheap. It is great for target shooting, especially since it shoots so fast, it is EASY to hit targets at 100 yards with this gun, but thats not what a pistol should be meant for, for that there is rifles, and at short...
