    Post your family photos!

    I don't have any "family" pics of my modern guns but I did take a few pictures of my C&R stuff last fall. I've aquired a few more since then. K31's Mosin's (ex-Dragoon, 91/30, 91/59, M44, M38) SKS's (Yugo 59/66, Albanian, Russian)

    Willpower: Mine vs The Rifle. I'm losing

    I have bayonets for about half of my milsurps only because they came with the gun when I bought it. I don't specifically seek out the ones I don't have though. Usually I'll try them on the gun when I first get it just to see how it looks and attaches then it ends up being thrown in a old yugo...

    Which semi-auto 17?

    Which .17 round are you interested in? HMR, M2 or the centerfire .17 Remington? I have a .17 HMR bolt gun (Marlin 17VS) that is a real accurate shooter and have been thinking of building my own 10/17H2 with a barrel and bolt swap from a .22 LR 10/22.

    Armscor Ammo

    I have never tried Armscor centerfire ammo but their .22 Mag ammo (out of my gun anyways) was very inaccurate. I was lucky to get a 3-4" group at 100 yards, often with a flyer or two mixed in. I have no problem with keeping 1"-2" groups with Win, CCI or Federal in the same gun, a Marlin 883 SS.

    Whats the cheapest gun you've ever bought?

    I got a .22 Mag Derringer from a buddy years ago for helping him clean up his shop. Fun little flame throwing gun. I bought a Raven 25 acp when I worked at a gunshop. I paid $30.00 OTD which ,at the time, was cost +10%. Not anything I'd rely on but it's fired a few hundred rounds w/o a...

    Do you buy guns on credit?

    I have one specific credit card that I use for some of my gun/accessory purchases. I have a "deal" with myself that I will pay off what ever purchase I make, no matter big or small, before I will use the card again. Most of the time I can pay it off the same billing cycle but on occassion I've...

    Stuff I heard at the Gun Show this Weekend

    I've only seen the 25 ACP versions of this round. I was told (by the guy at the show) that the .380 version was too powerful. I think he mentioned that it blew up a Glock once too. He did say that it would work fine in a Full sized Kimber 45 though, but you had to buy a special chamber insert...

    En bloc value question

    Be aware that the Korean ammo that is coming on en-bloc clips is corrosive ammo. Make sure you clean accordingly. There is also Korean ammo that comes w/o the en-bloc clips that is non-corrosive. I have some links to en-bloc info at home, it'll post it when I get to my home PC.

    K-31-55 Sniper Rifle: Any exist in the US?

    I know of two folks in the US that have them. Both had to go through some pretty elaborate import documentation and a pretty long wait. I know that one guy spent $4,000 on his. The second guy didn't mention the cost but he did mention he had to wait about 8 months to recieve it from Switzerland.

    What Do People Use To Clean A .22 Barrel

    FWIW - I was once told that you cannot shoot out a .22 barrel but you can "scrub it out". Most damage to .22 barrels are caused by aggressive cleaning and metal cleaning rods scraping the interior of the chamber or the crown of the muzzle. I clean my target .22 only when the groups start...

    Gun shop horror story.

    I managed a gunshop in CA for a while during the mid-90's. We had a few occassions where folks tried plowing cars and or trucks through the doors after close. It happened on time the day I was to take charge of one of the stores. I showed up about 7:30 to start my new position and the head of...

    My AR was born this weekend

    The Stag lowers are nice. Some folks don't care for the "deer head" logo but it doesn't matter to me. The lowers can be found online for around $89-$99 like you mentioned. I bought mine from a local gunshop owner who had them at a show. I don't mind paying a few dollars more to support him...

    My AR was born this weekend

    The lower receiver is technically the firearm. It has the serial numbers and therefore must be purchased through a dealer. The kit contains everything but the lower so that can be shipped to your door. I understand about the money part. I have a specific "play money credit card". I...

    My AR was born this weekend

    I did wipe the gun down with CLP last night (after I took the pic) and it did "equalize" the finish. What about the buttstock though? Can I wipe that down too so that it doesn't look so grey? Just wondering why black denim cloth, can't I just use a clean shop towel? Thanks!

    My AR was born this weekend

    I received my AR "Kit" from Del-ton on Friday. I had ordered it on Monday after finally deciding what I wanted to build. Friendly, helpful customer service and quick shipping time. I got a 20" 5.56, A3 (flat-top) with 1x9 chrome-lined barrel, A2 flashhider, detachable carry handle, I put it...

    The best gun money I've ever spent - 1903 Remington Restoration

    Both you folks did some fabulous work. Good job on saving the "Bubba's" and getting them back the way they were supposed to be.
