I owned two SKSs years back, a Norinco Chinese and a Tula Russian. Both were very reliable. I put thousands of rounds through them with very few failures. Things like 1 or 2 stovepipes per 1 to 2 thousand rounds, probably more rounds than that, even with cheapo, dirty combloc military surplus...
Hi folks. I have been a member on THR for, I think about 8-10 years but haven't visited in ages. I voted on this survey because AR prices have come down and if they stay down long enough I would like to get an AR 15 and an AR 10. I despised the AR 15 and the 5.56x45 round it shot ever since the...
Sorry you feel that some of this thread is revisionist. I study military history, and World War II in particular, as a hobby and my postings are all based on multiple sources from several of the combatant nations involved in the war in Europe and Russia. I have a small library of approximately...
German policies in the East were inexcusable. This was strictly Hitler's doing. He ignored the repeated advice of his staff to take a different approach to the conquered territories. Many of his staff tried to convince him to allow the people of the conquered countries to set up...
The victors judge the vanquished and write the history books. War is in and of itself an atrocity. As an American I am not proud of what happened but there were more than enough atrocities committed by all nations involved. Compared to the Russians we were angels of mercy and a lot of German...
I would imagine anyone who fought the Germans in France in 1944 would feel the same way. Germany used the same process to build up their army in the 1930s as they used during the war. A small core of highly experienced veterans was used to train recruits, and Germany made an effort to keep...
I believe this is correct. Certainly by late 1943 at the latest the German High Command realized they could not defeat the USSR, and it was around this time that von Runstedt suggested to Hitler that he order an immediate withdrawal to the borders as they existed prior to the 1941 launch of...
Most WASRs available in the US these days come with a Tapco single stage trigger. The trigger generally breaks at 3-4 lbs, at about 1/2 inch. Usually a big improvement over the stock AK trigger.
Never read anything that suggests the German soldier was a poor rifle shot. I can't remember the exact quote but US General George Patton said something like, "There's not as many of them but they fight better than us." Pretty high praise I'd say, considering this was during the Battle of...
IIRC a person found to suffer serious mental disorder can lose their RKBA. Bipolar doesn't necessarily qualify. Also anyone involuntarily committed to a mental institution. I don't think Jackson qualifies under federal law, though Illinios may be different.
Since my family owns some land in TX I don't have to put up with range rules on target shooting. I use paper to sight guns in but then I can shoot pretty much anything that is available. Soda cans filled with water at least react when you hit them, and you can sell them to aluminum recyclers...
I wouldn't use a .17 caliber unless there was no choice. I've read and been told that in an urban setting a .223 caliber fragmenting bullet is effective and a lot less likely to overpenetrate, but I don't own a gun in that caliber so I have no personal experience with it. When I lived in the...
