    onestopknifeshop.com, 6 week wait on knife

    I have dealt with them in the past and had good experiences, but when I ordered a knife a month ago, I expected I would have it by now. When I called them a few days ago, they said they will SHIP it in 2 weeks. Does anybody know if this is common for them? They seem not to really value having...

    A legality question

    I have a bunch of surplus 7.62x54 ammo that I would like to take apart and use the powder and bullets to put into .308 casings, BUT, its steel cored and I believe .308 steel cored ammo is illegal. At least I know its illegal to import or manufacture. Does the law cover reloading like this or...

    Is a EOTech sight on a SA58 worth it?

    I got my SA58 as a toy, primarily for shooting holes through paper at 100 yards and less. I can offord to get a EO Tech holographic sight with my christmas bonus, but I think I might get a x39 Saiga instead and order a conversion kit from Correia. I don't even really want one but its cheaper...

    What powder for a 16" .308 barrel?

    I recently got into reloading with a Classic Lee Loader. Yes its slow, but I'm poor and it works. I know very little about different powders and things, but I do know that handgun powders burn faster, and that factory loaded powders in .308 ammo are typically slower burning powders designed for...

    Measuring an 870 barrel

    My friend recently aquired an extra 28" vent rib 870 barrel which he gave me because he has a mossberg. Its the same barrel I already have so I've decided to sawzall it down. I want to cut it to 18.5", but I'm not sure exactly where the barrel technicaly starts. Where do I measure from?

    How long will a Fal last?

    I've got an SA58. I am curious how many rounds it will last before needing a new barrel and perhaps some other parts. Also, has anybody actually shot a Fal to the point where the reciever wore out? Is that even possible?

    HK 1911???

    In the Guns And Ammo Complete Book of the 1911 from 2003 or 2004, Cameron Hopkins said that HK was working on a 1911, and that Larry Vickers was working with HK on the project. Was this just a rumor, or is HK just really slow at getting new guns out?

    Sights and a light for my Fal

    First of all, my Fal has a picatinny forearm, a B&T I think, but I'm not sure. I want a light for it, but I can't justify the 600 dollars surefire wants for a dedicated light setup. I know there are light mounts for regular 6V lithium flashlights to go on picatinny rails, so I want to know if...

    Buying Fal tomorrow, to wolf or not to wolf?

    That is the question. I finally have a day off tomorrow, and I'm going with my buddy to my favorite gun store to get a brand new SA58. He has a case of wolf .308 which we were thinking about to blowing off with my soon to be pride and joy, but we have all heard people say a lot of bad things...

    A few questions before I buy a SA58.

    Instead of the kit build I originaly was going to do, I have decided to get a brand new SA58. The thing is, due to the instability of the imbecile politicians who we allow to rule over us, I figure I should get a brand new Fal since its hard to tell how many other opportunities I'll have to get...

    16" baton effectiveness

    Using my 31" ASP I recently walloped a large dog that charged me and my dog while we were walking. This was a 100 lb+ dog and 2 hits of 50% effort sent it packing. It got me thinking I should possibly consider carrying a short ASP while running. Typicaly I carry a knife while running because my...

    Long term ammo storage in car

    In a recent issue of Small Arms Review they warned that humidity and heat in a trunk or glove box can destroy ammo if its left in there long term. I tend to store a tackle box filled with ammo for whatever my trunk gun is at the time in my trunk, so I want to know if I should perhaps be storing...

    Need a throw away working folder

    I just got a new job removing asbestos from old industrial buildings. Before somebody says "your nuts" I should mention that with all the laws and regulations that are in place, its actually a very safe job. The air in the enclosures is filtered to the extent that its completely changed at least...

    How do I remove my SKS's bayonet?

    I broke a good and might add proper sized screw driver trying to remove the bayonet from my Yugo SKS. Obviously I'm missing something, so what is it I need to do to get the thing off?

    Need a webpage with some good gun control statistics

    For the purpose of converting anti's, I need a website that shows good, easily viewed and understood statistics which show worldwide evidence of gun control causing crime. This data preferably should be from a source thats neutral on the subject, because anti's love to call the crap that rolls...

    What do you do when cops come to illegaly confiscate your guns?

    It happend last year in New Orleans, and years before that in Oshkosh Wisconsin. I'm not some derranged 24 watching SHTF'er, but this does seem to be at least a mild concern of modern times. Obviously you don't want to get in a gunfight with a bunch of cops. What do you do?

    Do any 1911 makers besides Para Ordnance plan to start using Power Extractors?

    I own a Springfield GI, and like so many of us, I had problems with the extractor. Those Para Ordnace power extractors seem like a great idea, but I haven't heard of anybody else planning to use them. So again, does even one other company plan to use the PE system? It would save us 1911 shooters...

    Why doesn't Ruger sell high cap Mini 14/30 magazines to civilians?

    I got the chance to bump dump a 50 round magazine from a Mini 14, and the rifles owner explained to me that the mag is an aftermarket piece because Ruger only sells Mini mags that hold more than 5 shots to cops. Why would they do that? They have high capacity pistols, and they don't seem to be...

    Sawed off bb gun?

    I have a cheap daisy bb/pellet gun. I was thinking, it shoots 760 fps, whereas bb pistols of similar quality have a hard time reaching 500 fps. If I was to chop it down to pistol size, would that hurt the velocity? By the way, I live in michigan, and I am aware that I would have to get a...

    Glad I watch my back.

    Yesterday, I incountered the only person I ever believed I might have to kill. Back in high school vocational training, this lunatic dirt bag really wanted to fight me. Friends of his informed me that he is an accomplished streetfighter who would tear me up if we fought unarmed, and went on to...
