I am a gigantic fan of the Mora for bushcraft and general utility use around the house. The one drawback I've had is I can't seem to find any sort of double edged blade in the Mora style and grind. Is there anything in a similar design and price? Alternatively, how feasible would be be to...

Hi guys, I'll soon be purchasing a Nagant 1895 revolver and plan to display it among various Soviet-era stuff I've collected over time. I would also like to display a few of the unique 7.62 Nagant rounds with it, however I'm a little hesitant about having live rounds next to a revolver on a...

I'm looking for a non-brake barrel, single shot, breech loading .410 for a new stock project I've been dreaming up, but can't seem to find any. The only .410's I seem to find are brake barrel. Does anyone know of any other breech loaders? Google is coming up short.

After a failed attempt at some range time I got home, unpacked everything, and decided to take a look as I've never bought Federal American Eagle before. Needless to say, I'm less than impressed with the brass as it's full of black rollmarks and what look like water stains (little circular...

Hi everyone, While shopping around for a PSL I've noticed the overwhelming availability of spare parts...but seemingly no complete rifles. I was wondering about the practicality of just piecing together a rifle from these spare parts, and if its a good idea. Also, I know that the PSL was...

I'll be purchasing a Leinad DD soon with the intent of creating a new hand grip for the gun as I'm not a huge fan of that style and it will be a good autumn project. The problem I've run into, however, is that after our local supply shop shut down, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells good...

Whenever I purchase a used firearm from a 3rd party, it usually comes with the warning to have a qualified gunsmith inspect the firearm to be sure it is safe and won't turn into a grenade when you pull the trigger. I understand this is probably just there as a legal disclaimer, however short of...

So obviously the Mosin would be the king of this list, however in my quest to collect more and more WWII and earlier weapons on a budget I'm constantly looking for a deal on a rifle. For these type of weapons cost of ammo is largely irrelevant as long as its still available, even if scarce, so...

I've been trying to find an M110 style upper for the longest time, but can never quite find one that matches close enough. All the ones I've found close enough have either too-short rails, free floating barrels, or some other strange oddity. I'm not looking to have the same accuracy as an M110...

So as I'll be turning 21 very soon, I plan on open carrying as much as possible as I lack the necessary funds and resources to carry concealed. My state (NC), while not anti-open carry, does have some very arcane laws in place that are not very clear and can potentially land me in trouble for no...

I religiously clean all my rifles after taking trips to the range, part of it is habit from being drilled in to me for 13 weeks, part is I just find it relaxing. What perplexes me though, is how I can never, ever, ever pull a clean patch through my Mosin 91/30. I dip a brass .30 cal bore...

A few days ago at the range, one of the...older gentlemen (who's the RSO) was talking with me while I was sighting in my new rifle. When I mentioned that I didn't particularly care for using sand bags and was planning on getting a sling-mount bipod, he gave me a dirty look and spent the next...

I recently bought a Savage MkII from one of the members here, and after finally getting all the crud cleaned out and getting it oiled to a point where I could actually cycle the bolt, I noticed that after cycling a magazine through about half a millimeter of the polymer tip would be ripped off...

After deciding to dress up as a WWII era Russian conscript, I find myself debating a lot about wether or not to take the centerpiece of this costume with me: A Mosin 91/30. I was planning on disabling the rifle by removing the firing pin, and then slinging it over my shoulder with a...

I see bricks of 2000 for sale on the internet, but don't currently have the cash to drop on that, plus shipping is almost twice the cost of the ammuniton for a box of 50. Does anyone know of regular, brick and mortar shops that would stock some .17hm2? Got the new toy coming in this week but...

I see the stock pouches with shell loops all the time (http://ballistictech.com/catalog/images/Buttstock%20Ammo%20Pouch.jpg) but have never seen ones designed to fit .22LR (or in my case .17HM2) cartridges. Has anyone ever heard of something like this? Or am I going to have to fire up the sewing...

Hello all, While trying to shop for an FFL in NC for a transfer, the cheapest one I found was $30! Is this the norm in the state, or should I do more digging? I remember in Pennsylvania the going rate for a transfer was around $10. Also, does anyone have a resource (list) of FFLs? I...

For me, its kept in a pair of ammo cans (one full of 7.62x54R, the other various 12ga) in the closet since I have neither room nor cash for a safe. So how do you guys keep it? In a box in the garage? plastic dry-boxes? stacked on the kitchen table?

So, just as I was loading up the shotgun to go to the skeet field, I noticed a rather severe crack in the stock on my 500. Not wanting to risk life or limb, I decided to stay home and look for stocks instead. The few matching kits I found were in excess of $150 for a stock plus matching pump...

Hello all, while oiling my 500 today, I noticed that, after I put it back together, there is a good half inch of "play" in the bolt if I hold the shotgun (barrel removed) upside down and push the bolt up with my finger. I broke it back down, then put it back together and still have this...
