I searched around some on THR and with Google and couldn't quite get a straight answer to my question, which is: Is the only difference between the PTR-91 GI and PTR-91 F models is that the F model has a fluted barrel? The GI has looser tolerances to facilitate better usage of milsurp...

I've always wanted to join the military to serve my country, but I have Asperger's Syndrome (a mental disorder), which disqualifies me from service. Is there anything else that I could do? Doesn't have to be related to the military.

Does anyone know if high-capacity magazines are made for the Mossberg 190K bolt-action 16 gauge shotgun? I have only one 2-shot mag making the capacity 2+1.

You just interrupted a day of play as two young cubs scurry off. Mama Bear is closeby; only 50 yards away. She is in a bad mood and you're in her crosshairs. Which caliber would you want in your hands at this time? Note: FMJ, JHP, and hollow-point can be applied to each cartridge if it is...

I found at Czech Mauser on AIMsurplus for $230. It says the bores will not be bright, but will have deep lands and grooves. I'm no expert and have little experience with Mausers at all. Is the bore supposed to be bright and shiny like most rifles are preferred? Or is what AIM is describing...

My mother needs a gun to shoot a would-be intruder. There have been a few break-ins around her neighborhood. Her husband is more than capable of protecting the house, except he works 3rd shift. I thought that the .38 would be a decent choice to stop a burglar with the intention to harm. The...

I've been looking into buying an SKS for a while now and have yet to come up with a reason to buy a Russian model except to have a pretty wall hanger. I know it would be a great shooter, but I couldn't bring myself fire a round through it. So, I've done a lot of research and have found that...

I've been looking to get a milsurp bolt gun for a long time now. IMHO, there are so many great rifles out there chambered for very proven cartridges. With such a variety, it's hard to settle on just one "ultimate" rifle. If I ever do decide on a rifle, it will be for blowing the brains out of...

I've been drooling over SA's M1As for ages now, but can't seem to justify the $1400+ price tag. Should I just concede to getting a $600 M1 from the CMP instead? This isn't a matter of personal preference, since both IMO are great rifles. It's more of a matter of what I'm getting for the money...

I've always wanted to know everybody's opinion on the subject. Do you think the Russian death toll would have been lower during WWII if Kalashnikov had produced his famous AK-47 several years earlier to combat the Germans? I understand it was inspired by the StG-44, so you might be thinking that...

How much does it cost to put peep sights on your SKS carbine, and do they improve accuracy at all?

If you were to buy any grade of M1 from the CMP, which would it be? My question is based on a balance of affordability and quality. My choice would be Service grade Springfield. Also, it's not part of the poll, but which manufacturer would you prefer? Winchester, Springfield, or H&R? I...

I searched the forums for a thread about M1A stocks before I bombarded you guys with a post, but couldn't find the answer I needed. My question is this: I'm looking to buy an M1A, but can't decide what kind of stock to purchase. I know wood is more prone to cracking and warping, but is...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, this is my first post. I thought I'd start off by showing you a video I found interesting. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I hope you enjoy it just the same! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlMz2sCDCA4
