Cool. Any idea what it's worth? Doubt I'd want to sell it, but it'd be interesting to know.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Some additional information: - The buttcap is difficult to see in the pictures, but is still there. - The first line of writing appears to be "Manuf. Roy"... the second line is tough to read, even with a magnifying glass and 15/20 vision. - There is a...

So my dad and I found a bit of a family heirloom while cleaning out a closet today that we thought was lost... what appears to be a .68 caliber pocket pistol from 1818. The only information about it is that my great grandfather returned from WWI with it. That's literally it. Barrel is 5", and...

Yeah, by asking if cutting a barrel's length almost in half would have an effect on the round's performance, I was calling the "holy grail of ballistics" into question... I wouldn't say that's an accurate summary of my question by any means. I was simply asking how much the ballistics would...

Yeah, the M&P series are some really nice guns, and .40 addresses most of the issues raised with .45 ACP... even if the S and W do stand for short and weak (10mm fan in me coming out again). haha. I'll update this thread with a range report some time next week about the Para by the way, in...

Probably a good way to put it, though I'm not much of a wheelgun guy myself and thus have no expertise in that area. My personal taste actually has nothing to do with this thread (I carry a Glock 29 in 10mm), I just thought it'd be an interesting ballistic road to go down. But anyways. All...

+1 for the 10mm. Everyone knows the S and W of .40 S&W stands for short and weak! I have a G 29 that is an absolutely awesome gun... Even in the subcompact size, I still find its recoil to be easily manageable. Only downside is, reload or unload your wallet.

Yeah, a lot of people would have trouble double tapping with a .45 that small. And that is a good point fastbolt, that Speer's short barreled line of Gold Dots far exceeded FBI standards... going like 800 fps out of a 2" barrelled revolver. I guess I'd probably go with a the lighter of Speer's...

So a fried of mine recently came across a subcompact Para Warthog at a gun show and picked it up... Nice looking little gun. Question is though, how effective can the ballistics of a .45 ACP subcompact gun really be? I mean, .45 ACP is already starving for velocity out of a five inch barrel, and...

Just an aside crazyivan, that 200 gr. heavy ball you referred to isn't recommended for use in PSLs. I've personally never seen any problems immediately result from it, but what I've heard from many very knowledgeable PSL/AK guys is enough to keep me away from it. Anyways. SVD vs. PSL has been...

Got my Howa 1500 in '08... all stock with the Nikko Stirling Nighteater combo and all that. Found that scope to suck pretty effectively, redid the gun almost completely. Current setup is: Howa 1500 Knoxx Axiom stock Millett scope rings Zeiss Conquest 3-9 x 40 With this setup, mine shoots...

So, I just watched my buddy disassembling his Super Black Eagle 12 gauge the other day... and it occurred to me that Benelli basically stole the recoil system directly from the FAL. Literally, the bolt, bolt carrier, recoil spring and compressing rod are pretty much slightly modified versions of...

Should have gone to Hampden-Sydney, the only institution of higher learning in the world to have a student gun locker on campus.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr0ccwbje1Y&feature=watch_response Pretty in depth review of mine. Love the thing.

Just gotta chime in on this, I'm another M&P 15 lover. Had mine for about a year and a half, turned it into a fairly basic CQB setup. I'll take it over any production AR on the market today in terms of, like, everything.

Speaking of Saiga AKs... anyone want one in .223?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Thanks for the reply. Here's one more pic of the whole setup... considering I got it for 600 bucks and it's basically new, I'm pretty stoked.

So I recently picked up an FAL from one of my buddies that owns a pawn shop, looks like an interesting piece. Obviously imported during the assault weapons ban (Century thumbhole stock, lack of bayonet lug), it's built on an Imbel receiver that is absolutely flawless. This was imported by...
