For under $ 100.00 my Mosin- Nagant gave me that rarest of human experiences- being pleasantly surprised.

With the average reporters abysmal firearms ignorance, I am not surprised that the person who wrote that article refered to the M1 Garand and carbine as assault rifles. Hell, those clowns probably described that cache of Martini- Henrys found in Nepal as assault rifles.

Flint, this is an epic story. Ever think of writing it down and publishing it? It makes for interesting reading for sportsmen. Heck, the hogs might actually provide a usefull attribute for a change- material for sequels!

I have an FN Five- Seven on layaway. Pics soon.

I 2nd Mr. Lapin's opinion- snakes are usefull critters and eliminate a significant portion of your state's rodent population each year. Besides, the snake that bites you will get you before you realize what happened. I once was walking down a overgrown sand road in eastern NC ( in my barefeet-...

I got mine from a local dealer for $80.00. He had some that were in almost pristine condition, but I wanted mine to be beat up and butt- ugly. A rifle like that makes you wonder who held it before you and where its been. Mine is an Izzy hex reciever made in 1935. Cleaning the bore was an...

I got an Arsenal SLR- 106 in 5.56x 45mm for two simple reasons- 1) I wanted an AK. 2) I had dies in that calibre allready. So the price of the ammunition didn't really concern me (not that 5.56 is expensive right of the shelf). Bonus reason: It is a fun rifle too shoot!

The only real advantage to the high- end black rifle Arsenal AKs is the heat shield, which allows you to fire the weapon without burning your fingers off after shooting 100 rounds through it. Otherwise you get the same sensation of the AK sloshing its guts around whenever you pull the trigger.

I have an Arsenal SLR- 106 FR in 5.56 x 45mm and it will happily eat any ammo in that calibre you feed it. The only reason I stay away from the Russian ammo brands is that the cases aren't suitable for reloading. I also heard some stories about ARs jamming when firing Wolf, but a buddy of mine...

I got a Stoeger side x side coachgun in 20 ga. It has the high- tech wood furniture for precision clubbing and shiny brass bead sight for rapid low- light target acquisition. Illumination provided by a mini- maglight taped under the barrels. O.K., I kid. But in all seriousness, Stoeger makes a...

Saiga makes a .410 semi- auto shotgun ( SGL 41- 61) that can take a 10 round magazine. Too pricey for my taste, but I think that would beef up the .410 to the "serious" category for home defense. Me, I will stick to my little Stoeger side- by- side coachgun in 20- gauge loaded with no. 3 buck.

I would vote for a Makarov. The 9x18mm round is kind of underpowered, but a Mak is tough as nails and will digest all sorts of ammo without complaint. It can be hard to find 9x 18mm in some parts of the country, but you can always order online. As for politics, it's the shooter that has them...

Last year I bought a Russian Mak made in 1983. I can understand why Makarovs have such a loyal following. The only handgun I had fired prior to the Mak was my Dad's old .22 Magnum Ruger some 20 years earlier but after firing a few magazines worth of S&B FMJs through it I was regularly grouping...

It shot high and to the left until I adjusted the front post but the 100 yard range was closed, so I settled on the 50. Even an ameteur like me could get a three inch group in the black at that range, so it wasn't a good test. I will take a picture of the little beast and post it later...

I saw this rifle at the local dealer and it was one of the weirdest things I ever saw- it looked like a Enfield No.5 Jungle Carbine but it was chambered in 7.62x39mm ( it looks even weirder- or should I say, cooler, loaded with the 10- rd. AK mag ). Did some research on it and it turns out to be...

Hi, everybody. I became interested in shooting as a hobby about 3 years ago when I began collecting military surplus firearms. My favorites are the old bolt- actions: Mausers, Mosin- Nagants, Lee- Enfields, etc. Now I am becoming interested in collecting handguns. Currently that is limited to a...
