How come military Breakfree CLP smells different than the commercial stuff? I normally get the spray can at Wal-Mart and it has a sweet aroma. I recently got a liquid bottle from a bud in the National Guard, and it has a less sweet smell, it's darker, more oakey. I *LOVE* that scent --- a...

Hello, I've got a "Midland" rifle, made in England and it's a .30-06 caliber on a Mauser action . From what I've been able to find online this company may have been bought out by Parker Hale at some point? And Parker Hale actually has a rifle whose model name is Midland (but that's not what...

Ok, what the heck am I missing here? I took apart my Mauser bolt, and now I'm trying to get it back together. I'm using these instructions -- http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/mauserboltdisassembly/index.asp and between steps 37 and 38 there is a HUGE THING missing! Namely...

Hi all, Got a used rifle recently, and want to take the scope bases off, and one of the screws is stuck. Not sure how it was attached, and was wondering what's the best way to get the screw off? It's a flathead screw. I already goofed it up a bit by torquing on it to no effect -- it's not...

In the past I've purchased arms and ammo from a few different viewpoints: buy 'em now before they're banned ... buy stuff in all the common models/calibers ... have extras for friends/neighbors when TSHTF ... have spare guns instead of spare parts ... etc. etc. Now I am moving towards the...

Hi all, what height QRW rings should I get for a FAL with the DSA scope mount? Low, med, high? This is my stock:

Just wanted to give a 'well done' to Millett sights - http://www.millettsights.com/ I was missing a little tiny piece from their Beretta front sight - the tech I spoke with at the toll-free number knew exactly what I was talking about and immediately took my name and address to send me 'a...

For ballistic plate inserts for vests, what is the difference between 'coated' and just plain steel? (are steel plates 'SAPI' or is that just ceramic?)

I was reading this thread from last month - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=101328 and it was AR-specific, so I thought I'd ask about flash hiders for FAL rifles. It doesn't look like the Vortex is available for FALs...

Hi all, I've got an AR with a mystery upper ... the lower is Rock River - I emailed the serial to rock river, and they said it was sold to a local gun shop some years ago. I look up the gun shop - they're out of business now. Is there any way to identify who the manufacturer of the upper...

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew if a .50BMG cartridge will fit in one of those TacStar Side Saddle things for a 20 gauge shotgun. I don't have a 20ga shell laying around ... are they of similar diameter? Thanks for any input!

Hello, Have any of you seen this gun before? If so, do you know who does the conversion? Or where the parts can be found? Thanks! :)

There seems to be quite a variety of calipers to choose from, from el cheapo plastic ones to ones that seem to cost almost as much as a press! :O Should I get some Chinese ones for like 20 bucks? Or save up for a nicer set? And it's calipers I want, right, not a micrometer? I seem to...

I was searching old threads over on TFL, and the Cannon brand safe was highly recommended. One thing I found out when looking at these safes in person was that the doors are made with thinner steel formed in a box shape, so there's an air space in between the two layers. I'm not sure if I'm...
