    Luger Value

    I appreciate you guys giving me your perspective. From what I gather, these are frankenstein pistols and no one is really sure what they are. They certainly are in no way original, and we don't know if these are arsenal-refurbished, or put together after the war as parts guns. They've been...

    Luger Value

    Good afternoon everyone, I have two Lugers I am considering buying from a friend. I'm a long time collector but I must admit, I know NOTHING about Lugers. Can someone look these over and tell me what they are and what their approximate value is please? That would be fantastic! . x

    Savage predator hunter 243

    I have 2 - one in 243 and the other in 22-250. Both shoot sub-MOA. Both equal factory velocities so bbl length is appropriate. Both are rugged. The bull barrel makes them front heavy. Scopes are good. Zero issues with the 22-250. 243 sometimes does not fire my reloads with Winchester...

    Looking for milsurp rifle with smooth (bolt, or not) action

    Krag. It's not even a question. Also, Lee Enfield, Argentine Mauser have buttery slick actions. Mosins have very rough actions in comparison.

    I want to be a "collector," but.....

    My collection is for me to enjoy, you don't need an audience to be a collector :)

    A gun so miserable to shoot, you want it anyway?

    CC guns by definition are rarely fun to shoot.

    Ruger m77 7x57 improve accuracy

    Unfortunately, 2" is probably about as good as it gets with this rifle in that chambering. 2" is fine for hunting of course.

    .308 or .300Win-mag?

    If you want a belted Magnum, I would go with the 7mm. It's fun, versatile, powerful, but far more manageable recoil- wise. I was shooting my 300 Win Mag today and it's not fun at all.

    Your Thoughts on .375 Ruger?

    This is really the first you have ever heard of this? I mean absolutely no disprepect by saying this, but I thought this was pretty common knowledge. Obviously you are very knowledgeable and your arguments do make sense, especially the chamber fire-form part. I've definitely questioned this too...

    Your Thoughts on .375 Ruger?

    It adds reliability during extraction because the case headspaces off the belt, not the shoulder, leaving a smaller surface area for the case to build friction/get stuck. It basically acts as a rim on a rimless round.

    Century FAL buy or not

    I knew someone that was selling a Century FAL with a Trilux, and they too claimed that the gas system no longer worked. I bought it and it turned out that they had the gas plug installed upside down. After about a year, it stopped cycling again. I took it apart and saw that the piston was...

    To upgrade or not to upgrade this SKS?

    Lessons I've learned the hard way: don't mess with it! You'll never get it back to the condition it's in now.

    Most inaccurate rifles?

    I'lll second the usual suspects: AKs, Mini14s, etc. Side note: I have an 03-A3 that my grandpa sporterized in the 1950s. It is a looker, with a Monte Carlo stock that he checkered by hand. For about 12 years I absolutely could not get that thing to shoot straight. I had pretty much given up...

    Your Thoughts on .375 Ruger?

    I kinda think the 375 Ruger is an unnecessary "improvement" on the 375 H&H, and there is definitely something to be said about belted cases when hunting dangerous game. But if you can get a sweet deal, why not?
