    Yay! Just got my G17 full-caps...no LEO markings!?

    I'm happy to finally get my order from Top Glock (sans the 31 round G33 mag -- a special note inside said it would be shipped separately when it became availible). They appear to be brand new factory mags, without the LEO markings on them. I was under the impression that all the new full cap...

    So, what's the consensus on the Sub2000?

    I'm thinking about one of these as a companion gun for my G17 -- I just ordered one of those G18 mags, and I think I need a carbine to put it in. I know the trigger pull is supposed to be heavy -- anyone have experience with the factory trigger job? How's the relibilty, durabilty, etc.?

    To my fellow NC gunnies: Burr--pro or anti-AWB renewal?

    I just got a ILA alert saying I should vote for Richard Burr for Senate in November. It claims he "opposes all anti-gun legislation, including re-enactment of the Clinton gun ban." Maybe I'm losing my mind, but I distinctly remember Burr saying "I support the 2nd amendment---but I support...

    So, if a .223 AR is an "assault rifle," and a .308 AR is a "battle rifle"....

    .....what the heck is an AR in 6.8SPC? A "combat rifle?" I hope to have the cash to investiigate this question with some side-by-side comparison one of these days.

    Quick replies needed -- best powder for maximum .357 loads

    I'm off to the gun show tomorrow. I just started reloading this year. Currently, I've been playing around with HP-38 and BlueDot in .38 Special and .45ACP. I want to work up some "original strength" (1350-1450fps w/158grain JHP) .357 loads for my stepdaughter's 6" GP-100. I know BlueDot...

    Winchester 94 problems

    My wife's Model 94AE in .357 has a bad habit of allowing live rounds to fall between the lever and the action during cycling, where they are very difficult to remove safely. Also, the safety seems not to work at all. My wife inherited the gun from my father-in-law who had an unfortunate tendency...

    Needed: info on SAR-1 furniture removal

    Now that the "Romanian Kalashnikov Rifles" site seems to be down, where can I find instructions on getting the wood off my SAR for my refinishing project? Waiting with baited breath for my shipment of gun project goodies from Brownell's.... Chris

    LEO mag with a civilian SIG!!

    A friend of mine recently purchased a P226 from a Raleigh gunshop, and aside from the thumb-busting 10 round mags, its a lovely pistol. A few weeks ago he mentioned to me that the 15-rounder that came with the gun was marked " for law enforcement use only." I told him to go back to the shop...

    Krebs' AK "peep" sight

    Has anyone tried one of Krebs' aperture sights? Do they work well for "quick acquisition" and "precision shooting"?

    How do you say "7.62 X 39"?

    ...I usually say "seven-point-six-two by thirty-nine" and get strange looks at gun shops...is there a better way to refer to this round?

    Looking for info on a 625-6

    Hello all. I just have came into possession (possibly temporary, but keeping my fingers crossed) of a barely fired S&W 625-6, sans grips, serial # CET6xxx. The right side of the barrel is marked "45 CAL MODEL OF 1989." A few questions: ---does this pistol vary much from the current 5"...

    .38 in M94?

    Is it safe to shoot .38s in a Winchester .357 Magnum Model 94AE? It's my wife's gun, recently acquired from my late father-in-law. Any other info on this gun would be helpful, such as max. safe loads. (I received a 6" GP-100 from his estate -- wondering if both weapons can handle all the same...

    Price Check: High Standard Riot gun

    I just saw a used High Standard "Riot Gun," with an 18" barrel, about 85-90% condition, serial #3238XXX, for an asking price of $199.95. I'd bet I could haggle that price down another 10-25 bucks. Mostly, I'm just looking for a home defence & fun shotgun & the big honking "Riot" fits me...

    Price check on Norinco SKS

    All the pawn shops around here seem to be offering them for $200-215, depending on condition. Isn't this a bit high? Guess I'll wait for next weekends' gun show and try to pick up a cheaper Yugoslavian one.
