I'm looking for a 7.62 AK pistol to eventually turn into a SBR with a reflex sight. Maybe even suppressed with a holo sight when my budget allows. The price point is something I haven't figured out yet. As short as possible while still functioning well is the main thing that's driving my...

I've been wanting to build an AK-based SBR, maybe starting out with an AK pistol like a Mini Draco and getting a Form 1 and a folding stock and converting it from a pistol to a SBR. However, I'm not overly familiar with what's been done / what's out there as far as AK-based SBR's go. Is it...

So I have a great rifle that puts five bullets through the same hole at 100 yards on a good day, but it's built like a tank and weighs about the same. :uhoh: Now that hunting season is coming up here in Texas, I've been thinking about getting an inexpensive lightweight hunting rifle. Only thing...

I have a Remington 870 Wingmaster, made around 1968 if the barrel on it is the original. It shoots well, but some times it jams up when chambering a new shell and I've noticed the lift gate is floppy. :scrutiny: Remington has a parts guide for the 870 on their website, I was just going to...

I know you need a FFL class 3 or class 2 license to build / use machine guns, but I don't know much other than that. I like to tinker and build things, and have been contemplating doing specialized / niche gunsmithing as a part-time job. Does it have to be a full time job to get the...

Thinking about getting a Mosin-Nagant for a friend for his wedding, I pondered the accuracy of those old rifles and what else might be out there. Primary use would be paper-punching, but having something you could use for hunting medium size game was mentioned. So what else is out there in...

What's the most accurate .45 caliber handgun you've shot that isn't a 1911 variant? Any you own that you could shoot all day (ammo budget allowing :D ) and still be hitting the bull's eye at the end of it? Contemplating getting a CZ-97, never hurts to see what else is out there though!

I have a Galco walkabout IWB holster for my Glock 26 and it's a comfy holster. Not so great on the magazine retention though. Tonight I played a panicked game of 'hunt the magazine' - "Did it fall out at work? Oh boy, that could be painful to explain" :what: or "Did it fall out somewhere...

Any good concealed carry holsters out there for the Walther PK380? Looked a bit and can't find much :/

Have you ever picked up a box of 12 gauge ammo when you meant to get a box of 20 gauge? Picked up a 100 round box of 12 gauge ammo instead of a 100 round box of 20 gauge? :(

A friend recently had her house broken into :what:, and she initially wanted to get her CCW license, but recently said she wanted to get a taser instead (guessing likely due to the cost of handguns and all the rigmarole that goes into getting a CCW license and such). What are a few good...

When reading a pro-gun blog post by a guest author who is a police officer wrote on how to handle being stopped by the cops, there was a fascinating sub-current in some of the replies that would seem to suggest something other than verbal non-compliance with a police officer’s requests...

What is the most accurate out-of-the-box battle rifle that's ever been issued to standard infantry? (Dragunov would not count for example :rolleyes:)

The infamous 'Porcelain Glock 7' scene from Die Hard 2 came up in conversation today (Youtube video of scene in question) and it got me thinking. "That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me, you know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport metal detectors...

I have a leather Galco Walkabout IWB holster for my Glock 26, works great, comfy, no retention problems, but when I go to holster it, the mouth of the holster has a bad habit of bunching up around the trigger guard. I've seen a thread on a ND that was caused by this when someone was sitting in a...

I borrowed a friend's Rossi revolver, chambered in .357. It was decent to shoot with, but the tiny grips on that powerful of a load just really didn't work in its favor. :scrutiny: A larger framed revolver with bigger grips would seem to be a better choice. Any (affordable) recommendations?

Recently passed the 1,000 round mark on my Glock 26 and in those thousand rounds, not one hiccup, not one single FTF, FTE, stovepipe, nothing. At one point it went about 400 rounds without being cleaned. Only on the last magazine of those 400 rounds did the accuracy change. The reliability...

So to own fully automatic weapons made after 1986 and make fully automatic guns, how much money does it cost to get to that point? SOT, FFL, minimum amount of yearly sales, etc. If your knowledge on the subject will lead you to post 'a lot' without any actual figures, please refrain from...

See, even when you're dressed up, you can support your favorite caliber - http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtifactsNRelics?section_id=7258141. Although for $45 a pop :what:, you could probably buy an el-cheapo set of cuff links, cut the posts off and epoxy it into your own spent brass. Just saying...

Everyone always talks about the most compact available handgun in X caliber or with X feature for CCW - how about something different for a nice change of pace? What is the *largest* handgun you can comfortably use for CCW in the summer / winter? The summer in Texas means you aren't going...
