Anyone out there prefer the 20rd AK 7.62x39 magazines over the 30s? I've started to wonder as I have a couple and when loaded they're substantially lighter and smaller, making it easier to both carry and do mag changes. They also allow you to shoot from prone or the bench easier. I am losing...

I'm looking for replacement handguards for my WASR, as I'd like something that will be a little more comfortable to hold and protect my hand from the heat of the barrel as I shoot. Right now I'm looking at a couple of polymer and aluminum handguards, as I figure they will do a better job of...

I'm trying to work up a recipe for a "lite" .357 magnum load for my Ruger SP101 2.25" barrel for carry. I prefer using jacketed hollow points over lead and I really prefer heavier bullets like the 158gr. PLEASE no comments about reloads for self defense, to me it's a non-issue. According to...

Ok, a bit of a rant here. I've been pricing AKs online due to wanting to acquire one before someone gets the bright idea to ban them again. However, it seems like the price on AKs has gotten ridiculous. I can't find anything other than a POS WASR for under $600. I could seriously buy a...

OK, the next item on my list of things to purchase is a precision centerfire rifle. I am contemplating either buying an AR or a bolt-action rifle and putting a scope on it. My budget is $1000, for the rifle and scope combined. I know this will be hard for both but I really don't want to go...

And people wonder why we badmouth public schools here... :cuss: So, the SAK wasn't even on his person, just in the console of his car. I like how you are mandatorily searched when coming back to campus. Makes me glad I'm not in school these days, and I only graduated high school 8 years ago...

Is my tin foil hat still on too tight? :uhoh:

Ok folks, I need your help with my next handgun selection. I want a 9mm that's traditional DA/SA with decocker, so no Glocks, XDs or M&Ps. I want it to be light enough and small enough that I can conceal it without too much trouble, but not so small as to be hard to shoot. Oh yeah, and I...

Ok, I'm admitting my ignorance here but can someone please compare/contrast the just-failed "Fairness Doctrine" that attempts to get both sides equal air-time on radio, versus the "Net Neutrality" push in Congress that from my understanding is designed to prevent the Internet network providers...

I'm debating on my next revolver purchase and I need some suggestions. Right now I own a Ruger SP101 .357 w/ 3" barrel. I love this pistol, and I plan on making it my primary car/carry piece. What I'm trying to decide on next is a full-size revolver for home defense. Right now I'm trying...

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/10374909/detail.html Breaking news on my TV tonight. Atlanta PD serving a Narcotics warrant while undercover attempt to enter a 93-year old woman's home. The woman opened fire and wounded 3 officers before she was shot dead. None of the officers wounds are...

I'm currently working on converting a Saiga 7.62x39 back to original configuration. I want to put a muzzle brake/flash hider on it, but I don't know which one to use. The first one I'm looking at is the AK74 design, which seems to be a hefty piece but supposedly works great: The...

Bought 100 rounds of Wolf Military Classic HP 7.62x39 today to keep the new Saiga I bought today fed. Got them for about $3.50 a box, which isn't great but not bad either. I opened them up on the way home and noticed they weren't quite what I expected. They're hollow points and seem to be...

Need some advice and/or reviews from y'all. I want to get a new pack for hiking/camping and of course SHTF situations. I'm looking right now at the SpecOps Brand T.H.E. Pack and the Tactical Tailor 3-day Assault Pack. Both are between 2000-2500 cu. in. of storage space, MOLLE compatible...

Source: Washington Post I found this section of the article most interesting: I wonder, how long until that kind of "international effort" will be put in place in the US under the guise of the UN. At least they can see the poor results it's given them in Afghanistan. Not that they ever...

Howdy, I was hoping to get a little possible help/advice from the THR crowd regarding a problem I've been having with the CZ 75 Compact 9mm I bought recently. At least once or twice every range trip, my pistol's slide will lock back open like the mag is empty, but there are still rounds in the...

Just in case anyone wanted to watch the only Olympic sport that I can think of that involves rifles, NBC is showing the 15km Biathlon right now from 1-6pm EST. Pretty nice rifles these guys have, the first shooting stage is about to come up so I'll see how well they use them. Better than...

Military school gives officers new tools I think someone in charge has finally done enough reading on 4th Generational warfare and saw that we needed some change in the tactics in Iraq. This looks very promising, I just hope its not too little, too late.
