Magazines are available Try CDNN, and they are also available from the parent company of this pistol's twin, the Mountain eagle. Both were produced by IMI, owners of Desert Eagle. I thnik I paid 22$ the last time for 15 rounders. They also carry extractors and firing pin springs. Have to call...

Hi, everyone. In September I started in the police academy in Columbia, MO. To get ready for the classes, and the firearms training, I traded in my Steyr M40-A1 for a police trade-in Sig P226 in .40 S & w, because retention holsters don't exist for the Steyr, and, frankly, I've lusted after the...

two guns no sag Should this thread be serious, you could try a police officer's setup, with a tight iinner belt to hold the pants up, and an outer belt to hang holsters on. Combine with a suspender setup and you can haul incredible weight with ease. Oh yeah, us big guys can get away with things...

Well said, but... Anyone hear of supply and demand? Essentially the foundation of Capitalism, upon which our economy is based and how things are priced! Pricing to demand is not gouging, it's business. Economics 101!! I agree wholeheartedly. Where we diverge is the impression that some are...

Was at the gunshow at Bridgeton, MO yesterday, and CMMG was there. Their prices were in line with what I saw six months ago, and they had a full line of accessorieswith them, including mags at pre election prices. When I have the cash, my next gun is coming from them. I don't even like ar-15's...

Any reason to keep it? anyone know where to get a pistol grip for this thing? I think i will just stick to ammo I know works, and keep it in the car.

Function is ...ehh? So I finally got a chance to wring her out today. 25 Shots Winchester AA Target loads. 2 3/4" ,#7 shot. NO problems, fed wonderfully, recoil was OK. 5 Shots Remington 2 3/4, #4 Shot, One failure to feed from magazine into shell lifter. Recoil still...ok, I guess...

After much looking around and research, both at brick and mortar stores and online, with a touch of library work, and many questions to you fine folks, I selected a used shotgun to purchase in hopes of seeing if this whole tactical shotgun idea was worth going further with. I've had ak's...

Would anyone know any distributors, brokers, etc, who might have any older police shotguns in stock. For some reason I think I need one to keep my milsurps company. I found Summit gun broker, but he's out. On second thought, older would be best, but any used 18-19 inch barrel with a proven track...

I have an 870 express magnum with the 24 or 26 barrel. I want something a bit shorter for HD use, preferably able to accept a magazine extension. CDNN has wingmasters with ugly orange buttstocks and handguards for 189 or so. These have the 18.5 inch barrel. Do I jump on this, or buy the Ultra...

Title says it all. Which one will keep me from making an "Elmer Fudd with a carrot in the barrel" if I shoot slugs? Also, does anyone know where to find an 18-20 inch barrel to switch out for home defense duties? Seems like all I can find cost 75% of a new gun. The receiver on this shotgun is an...

Recent experiences at St. Charles' Big 2 I've been going to Mike's and Nassau about once a week for two years now. I've bought two rifles from Mike's, and sold him two pistols to pay unexpected expenses. Prices were more than fair both ways. Great guy, but gets harried with too many customers...

A couple of months ago I was having major trust issues with my Steyr ma1 in .40. The gun itself worked perfectly, but I couldn't hit at 12 yards with any repeatability at all. Some 10 ring, half off the paper . Most shots trending left, but a total shotgun pattern. I didn'tshoot it for a...

Carry style for big men I've been carrying three now for about a year. Best is OWB at 3-4 o'clock. Main carry is a steyr ma1 (Think glock midsize) and it disappears under a covering shirt, whatever style it is. It does help a lot if you wear another t-shirt under the pants, preferably tucked...

Should I sell my Yugo m70b1 to buy a CMP garand? I've been thinking about it for a while, and either one will give me something fun to shoot, for a somewhat decent ammo price. Any thoughts either way?:banghead:
