    Best low-penetration home defense round for a 1911?

    Mitlov, google theboxotruth, scroll down near the bottom of the home page and click on "Original Chapters" and start with #'s 1, 3 & 7. Then go buy some Federal HST's. Or fill your walls with sand.

    Is AR quality declining since "the panic" started?

    Oh YES MAAM! I will always cherish your wise and condescending words! I guess you must have a secret decoder ring that allows you to peer into the minds of the owners brains or the collective mindset of the Boards of Directors of parent corporations. Either that or you are an employee of about...

    Is AR quality declining since "the panic" started?

    I'm glad you brought this up gunsrfun1. I stopped buying AR related anything when the scarcity and gouging started, not because I'm smart so much as I was already in pretty good shape when it became obvious. I don't have enough inside knowledge to know which manufacturers will not sacrifice...

    Slickest clip-loading rifle system?

    My vote is for the simplest clip. The Mauser 5 rounder (and the non-cardboard K31 stripper). I haven't any personal experience with the side loaders or en block types, but I have used the stripper types in M95, 96 & 98 Mauser's (Forget the M1891's, the stripper is held in place by an extension...

    First lever gun looks like a "youth gun"

    Thanks everybody. I was thoroughly confused. It looks tiny, like a kid's gun. It's chambered for .44 Rem Mag, definitely not a kid friendly cartridge. I'm looking forward to discovering what it is about these little lever guns so many people love. I hope the receiver and bolt is the same as the...

    First lever gun looks like a "youth gun"

    Lately I've been looking at lever guns to add something different to my collection. I already had a bunch of .44 Mag ammo so I settled for a Rossi R92 carbine due to a lot of favorable reviews, availability and price. Haven't taken it out to shoot yet (just picked it up yesterday), but when I...

    What's the oldest gun you own ?

    Argentine contract Mauser model 1891 made by DWM. Still a good shooter. Actual date of manufacture unknown.

    Big Locked Thread About Off Topic Shootings (was 'congress woman shot dead in AZ')

    The anti-gunners always will use tragic crimes as political tools, you can count on it. Say a prayer for all the victims and their families.

    Century Arms WASR-10?

    J&G has Romanian wasr 10/63 SFP and SFW's with Tapco folding stocks for a $140 difference. Can somebody tell me what SPF/W means and why big difference in price?

    AK vs. VZ58 vs. VZ2008

    Personally, if I bought an Ak and could consistently get 3" groups at 50 yrds, I'd be more than satisfied. You gotta take into account what the thing was designed for.

    AK Recommendations?

    There's a thread titled "Century Arms WASR 10?" further down the page you might find interesting, I did. I've been looking at what J&G Sales has also, I like the looks of the ones with the Tapco folding stocks, but I have no clue what SFP and SFW stand for, but it's worth about a $140 difference...

    AK vs. VZ58 vs. VZ2008

    I should have added: I'm sure they are not all that inaccurate, I just don't know which are or aren't.

    how important is barrel break in

    I read a article written by a international champion competitive target shooter some time ago. He said the proper process is a method of burnishing the barrel. This is done by shooting 2 or 3 rounds, then waiting for the barrel to cool and cleaning it. Then repeat this 4 - 6 times. Then do the...

    AK vs. VZ58 vs. VZ2008

    I vote vz58. 1: I like the design. 2: I've seen guys at the range shooting at targets under 25 yrds and the targets looked like they had buckshot patterns instead of rifle groups. Never shot any of the three, but I'm saving for a D-technic.

    Mauser good historical gun

    In your opening post, you mentioned: not accurate, action not smooth and failure to eject. If you mentioned in a later post that all that cleared up after buying quality ammo, I missed it. If all is good now, I'm glad to hear it. I have 4 military mausers dating from 1891 to 1924, and they are...

    Fal or .308 Piston driven Ar-15's such as the REPER?

    It's a classic alright. And just as simple as a AK.

    Mauser good historical gun

    Golden, it sounds like you really should take it to somebody, preferably a gunsmith who knows military mausers. And please don't buy ammo you can't be sure is correct. Just to be safe. Unless it's a "last ditch" (doesn't look like one), or has been severely bubba'd, you should not be having...
