    Gunsmiths around central PA who know AK type rifles

    I have a PSL that was put together by CIA and although it functions well, it has some issues. The barrel alignment has been off ever since it left CIA's factory. When I got the rifle, the windage was so far off that it could not be zeroed. I had a local gun smith at the time look at it notice...

    How can Taurus put out something so wrong?

    We all know that Taurus is not exactly the highest quality brand, but their wheel guns are of a solid design. Unfortunately, it seems that too often their execution i just so flawed. I bought a Tracker a few months ago in .17HMR. I thought that would be a cool little plinker. I finally got to...

    How does the Russian Shkas action work?

    I was stumbling around and somehow found an article on Wikipedia about the Shkas machine gun. I knew nothing about the gun before that point, but it seems to be an interesting design. It uses a type of action I never heard of before called a 'Gas automatic revolver' or a gas operated revolver...

    why do some ar-15 barrels have that reduced diameter section?

    You know what im talking about? Some barrels have a section of the barrel thats been turned down so its a little smaller than the rest of the barrel. Its usually after the front sight.

    Any of you guys have hearing damage?

    Iv been shooting for about 7 years and really don't shoot too often. But early last year I had some work done to my rifle which included a tank style muzzle break. After a single long session at the range, I got tinnitus and some other complications associated with it. Things have been pretty...

    using (.308) 7.62x51 loading data for 7.62x54r

    I have some RL-15 powder and am reloading 7.62x54r. The problem is that there's very little load data for this powder in this cartridge, and I only found 2 recipes for 150gr bullets. I plan to load some 174gr bullets, and since the charge weights between 7.62x51 and the 54r are so close for...

    Anyone have a good recipe for RL-15 in 7.62x54r?

    I will be using 150gr .311 bullets. I already found a few loads for this bullet in the 46-47gr range. But it would be great if anyone could recommend, or had a pet load for a PSL rifle. Here's what I found so far: 150 Sierra spitzer .311 inch Alliant RL-15 46.5 2,689 Remarks: variation...

    CZ-52 and ammo with hard primers?

    I got a bunch of that yugo 7.62x25 that has the hard primers, I was wondering if anyone figured out a way to fire this more reliably though a CZ-52. It seems most of this takes 2 strikes to set off...

    anyone using the red MTM reloading scale?

    I recently acquired one of these scales for x-mas and I was never really impressed with it. I noticed that i wasn't getting consistent readings from a known weight, and somehow it was reporting that weight was getting heavier gaining a few tenths of a grain every time i weighed it. But then it...

    My CZ-52 bit the dust...

    I have had this pistol for around 5 years now and have probably put 4000 rounds through it. It has been a great pistol and on of my favorite guns. I took it shooting yesterday and it performed great as usual, though; i did have one stovepipe which i have never gotten before. When I cleaned it...

    Whats the typical weight deviation of good bullets?

    Hi guys, I'm just getting into handloading and I plan on pulling the bullets of this cheap surplus 7.62x54r that gives me poor groups. I plan on weighing everything and reassembling them into so-called 'mexican match' rounds. I still don't have all the equipment yet, but i was messing around...

    Looking for someone to make a barrel for my single shot .22

    I posted this over in the rifle section, but it got pushed off the page very quickly. Here's the story: I have an old Hopkins and Allen 722 single shot rifle and I'm looking for someone that can give it a new barrel. I had the rifle apprised by multiple parties, and its pretty much...

    Any good gunsmiths around the chicago area?

    Hey everyone, I have an old Hopkins and Allen 722 single shot rifle and I'm looking for someone local that can give it a new barrel. I had the rifle apprised by multiple parties, and its pretty much worthless. But the action is in good shape and the gun is kind of a neat novelty, so I...
