I believe that's correct. If you use a "noise" blank, one that just makes a "boom", you are using much faster burning powder and that could cause problems if you've blocked the muzzel with a rifle grenade. The incorrect blank might damage the receiver. So, it's important to use the correct...

I've got one I took out of it's wrapper and have it on my old AR. It's quite a conversation piece to those who haven't seen one before. Most soldiers from Vietnam era on recognize it, however. Here's a pic: The front and rear sight snap out to provide an aiming point. It doesn't...

EA lowers are great I, too, have a preban underneath an SP1 upper and it's a wonderful shooter. EA actually stopped making them around the time of the AWB adoption but is now back in full swing. You can buy one of theirs for about $77. Here's their link: http://www.essentialarms.com/ Rome

Tennis balls? You want this! Forget launching tennis balls. You've got a military rifle so shoot military practice grenades! http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=881770&chrSuperSKU=&MC= or here...

Back when you first had an FAL it was most probably built on a Hesse receiver. They were notoriously poor and caused many issues. Since then, many different FAL receivers have been designed and manufactured with terrific results. Even the "unibrow" CIA receivers worked fine when properly...

Geesh! You certainly had to dig for this one! First off, let me suggest that you go here and post your question: http://www.falfiles.com/forums/index.php Second, the 'metric' FAL does use what's called a breeching washer. So, each barrel will "time" differently and the breeching...

Hi all. After much thought and searching, I decided to take the plunge and purchase on of the Spartan/Remington O/U shotguns in 20 gauge. I had considered 16 gauge but the selection of shells is not as good as with 20 and I don't reload. I only shoot uplands birds here in New England. I've...

I'd recommend the ARMS #18 I did a lot of research on the best mount for the M14s Polytech and can tell you that the ARMS 18 mount is a rock solid platform for any kind of optics. It was pointed out to me that you can spend $1k for a fine piece of optics but if you put it on a poor mount...

My Maadi is marked CAI and is also an MISR s/a (AKM) As AK47s go, it's fine. Let's face it, none of them are very sophisticated but they do the job just fine. When I got it, the trigger slap was so bad that I could not shoot more than half a dozen rounds through it before I got a...

What about the Maadi models! I've got one and it's as good as any other AK I've come across! Rome

Hi all. I'm in the market for a nice field gun for pheasant and would like an o/u in 16 gauge. They are impossible to find! Lo and behold, Remington is bringing a new line from Russia of all places. They're new line is called the Spartan Gunworks and they come in the various calibers...

The M14 was never released in it's select-fire version to my knowledge. They are extremely rare. There are other manufactureres of the M1a, other than Springfield Armory. When the military "abandoned" the M14, all of the machinery to make them was sold to Taiwan and both Norinco and...

The truth about Cosmo cleaning is that you're only dealing with the very surface of the stock when using any cleaning agent. If exposed long enough, cosmo will soak to the core of the stock. If you don't believe me, look at these old stocks which were ruined and not retrievable. When...

I ended up with a Polytech for $600 but I needed to replace the bolt and eventually the barrel. Still, all up it was less than a "standard" SA and the quality was better in most areas. I retroed a GI stock and some other bits and pieces and have a fantastic tack driver. Rome

The VZ52/57 or VZ52 rifles are both left ejecting and very much lefty rifles. the charging handles are both on the right side but if you think about it, a lefty will have an easier time with them as most modern semi-autos have the charging handle on the left....not right. They shoot 7.62 x...

Hi all. Century Arms has refused to sell any more CETMEs, FALs, or ANY AK variant including the Druganov, WASR, SAR in ANY caliber to Connecticut. In addition, CIA will not sell or ship any C&R Pistol to any C&R holders in Connecticut. This is a black day. Aim as also posted similar...

I own one of every semi-auto MBR made since 1938. However, I don't own a G43. I've fired one as my buddy has both the G43 and G41 rifles. I've love to have one but the prices they command are simply out of this world. Eventually I will have one in in my collection but right now, the price is...

It is one sweet shooting rifle. I paid $400 for mine and was thrilled to get it at that! They only come up on the 'net once in a blue moon. I have to assume you've seen the 52/57 engraved on the receiver to confirm that's what it is. The two rifles look virtually identical. The mag on the...

The CETME has required more "attention" than any other rifle I've purchased. That being said, once it's up and running, you'll be very happy with it. From the factory, you must first tear it down completely. It's going to arrive full of metal filings and old grease. You'll have to clean...

Here's mine I wanted an honest-to-God SP1 as close to identical as the original M16 that was first issued, right down to the three-prong flash hider. I was lucky. I found one on eBay last February and paid $289 for it, shipped to my door. According to what I can determine, my upper was one...
