Dang. Well, I kind of figured. Looking at the pics again, I noticed that the left side of the trigger group (both metal and plastic) has a set of notches that the switch appears to interface with whereas the right side does not, so that pretty much takes care of that. I know I've seen that...

Anyone?

Got a couple questions about two totally different rifles here... A guy whose land I hunt on recently had me take a look at his Remington 12A (pump action .22 LR) because it hasn't been working right. I took the thing apart and found that the firing pin had snapped in half (it had apparently...

US Patent 1073908. I recommend installing Alternatiff, then clicking the "Images" button at the top of the page. Oh, and here's the US Patent for the FAMAS. Same deal with the images.

I think if I were in your position, I'd try to find an Elcan Specter DR. About the same price as the TA31DOC and performs pretty much the same functions, but looks like a more solid optic, as far as the red dot is concerned. Don't have any experience with one, but maybe someone else here has. It...

Something along the lines of "our profit margin increases if we make guns out of plastic and machine the metal bits into simpler shapes"? ;)

Alternately, Robinson is making an FAL-type folding stock for stamped AKs that looks excellent and requires a bit less alteration to the rifle (only the stock tang needs to be removed from the rear block; a pretty simple DIY project). If you're interested, you can find it here.

You might want to swing by ar15barrels.com. Lots of good info there.

One more for Jewell.

I haven't personally had the opportunity to try it yet, but RRA's two-stage national match trigger (which appears to come standard on all of their rifles now) is a really good trigger from all accounts I've run across. If you're just buying a complete lower, you have the option of ordering it...

I have this barrel on my rifle and it shoots very well for a 5.56mm chamber with a chromed bore, so long as the bullets stay under about 70 grains. I'd go with an RRA lower with an A2 stock (actually, I did). I don't really see the point in having a retractable stock on a 20" rifle, but I guess...

One more lefty that uses a right-side-ejecting AR15 without any problems. Don't know how Stag or DPMS make any money on their left-ejecting stuff.

Cartridges of the World, 9th Edition says the 7.92mm Kurz uses .323" bullets, same as the standard German rifle cartridge of the time, the 7.92x57mm JS.

Another option you might want to consider is a target sear from Volquartsen. It dropped my mother-in-law's 77/22 from about 5 pounds to about a pound and a half, and it's totally crisp. It's not adjustable but it works like a charm and it's really easy to install (pop the stock off and the bolt...

The Federal load of the 100 grain Sierra GameKing has worked well for me on whitetail. Worked even better on pronghorn.

There are some laws on both sides of the border that are designed to deter you from following through with that particular plan. But so long as you're not opposed to fracturing them a smidge, maybe Ricky and Julian can hook you up. ;)

Not exactly. While AR receivers have been made using several methods, most are made from aluminum forgings. You take an aluminum billet, stick it in a big hammer machine with dies in the basic shape of an upper or lower receiver, squish the billet between the dies a bunch of times, and you get a...

It may not be quite that simple. What I've read on other forums (I believe this was from a Mexican poster on militaryphotos.net: here's the link) was that the Mexican government was planning on contracting HK for the design and tool manufacture for a rifle based on the G36 and Mexican specs. The...

A couple more things I thought I should mention about the 30-round G3 magazines from CTD: They're made of steel and they have a black enamel finish. The ones from Numrich appear to be blued, though the construction looks identical. Unlike the 20-round aluminum HK magazines, the feed lips on...
