    M14 vs. Bar/ fnar

    Obvious fallacies? Not sure what your point is except to knit-pick on the fact I said "every time" which was a poor choice of words; nothing is 100% reliable. But the M14 came closer than the AR platform did then or does today. A bad primer? WTH does that have anything at all to do with any...

    Moose Hunting in Canada

    A moose is a pretty much a horse with horns (not really) so if you'd feel confident shooting a horse with a .308 (for food, just remember to get the jockey off first) then you should feel confident it'll put down a moose. Many a grizzly bear have been anchored with a .308 & it's a tougher kill...

    SKS Question

    The bold part of that statement....I gotta say, truer words were never spoken lol....922r is a freakin' cluster #@*$ I've read a lot about how 922r affects the buying, owning, selling, shooting & repair/modification of different rifle platforms & I gotta say, even after hours of study it's...

    M14 vs. Bar/ fnar

    Well to the OP - the BAR was a nice weapon but not perfect, the M14 was equally nice, but not perfect - FNAR? I have no first hand knowledge or any source for knowledge other than the net since I don't own one & have never fired or known anyone who has fired one. I relate an interesting...

    Bolt Action Squirrel Rifle

    I gotta throw my hat in for the CZ, my 452 Varminter in .17HMR is one of the best rifles I've ever owned.

    M14 vs. Bar/ fnar

    Matter of opinion I guess, an incorrect opinion but opinion none the less. The guys I've talked to that used the weapon in combat liked it & none ever related a problem with it. What you say is that it failed as a useful general issue infantry weapon & that's simply not true, incorrect or...

    M14 vs. Bar/ fnar

    A huge screw up? How so & IF so...what did that make the M1? A colossal failure? The M14 is an outstanding rifle; it's short mainstream service life was due to politics, not it's usability.

    Need some help on an ultra-low budget build

    Mueller scope. Mine is great & was $115 shipped to my door. Fantastic clarity for such an inexpensive scope, don't be fooled by the made in china stamp; it's got Japanese glass in it. As far as the components, I'd save up & get an inexpensive Savage. You'll probably be able to do that cheaper...

    good trade?

    Do whatever you want to do. I don't get the "what is an AK good for" complaints. I can do everything with my AK that I can do with my .22; hunt, plink, target shoot etc. & in addition to being able to do everything a .22 can do my AK & I can also defend my property effectively. When I hear...

    Do all Chinese SKS's have chrome-lined barrels?

    If there are any that weren't I've never heard of them; but I'm no guru on the subject. It'd be interesting to know for certain.

    Take the bayonet off an SKS?

    Why bother, leave it on. Mine never cries when I forget an anniversary & it ain't heavy so I never even pay it any attention.

    Need help from M14/M1A gurus

    Tim Strait @ warbirds mentioned some Springers were out of spec in the op-rod channel; something about some being fitted too tight. Can't really recall the specifics. Might drop by his forum & pose the question to him.

    First shoot with SKS Open Sights 70yds

    My SKS is my standard brush rifle for whitetail & will continue to be until Warbirds gets done with my polytech scout build. A $79 semi automatic .30 cal rifle is all I see when I look at my SKS, who cares who made it or what it was originally designed for, if it works, it's legal & you like...

    Tell me about the 17 HMR

    I find my CZ452 to shoot like a laser beam. It shoots very flat out to around 100 yards iirc Best rimfire round ever developed in my humble opinion but as others have said, the price of the ammo is a real buzz kill - but the squirrels fear me with a rimfire again & I was able to put the shotgun...

    CZ 452 opinions

    I love my CZ 452 varminter in .17 HMR; really sweet shooter. Every CZ I've ever seen has been a nice one.
