In order: 1.) Mosin Nagant M44 -- gotta have the bayonet, and I love the KA-FARGING-BLAM, and three feet of muzzle flash that causes the ground to shake, the grass to catch on fire and the guys next to me pee their pants. 2.) AR-15, very accurate, easy to shoot, just an all-round nice gun...

My only old rifles are a couple dozen Mosin Nagants -- mix of M38, M44, and M91/30, and two No4 Enfields. As for old designes, I love me a good levergun.

If it also shot well, yes.

Throw my lot in with the SU-16 crowd. I haven't yet seen a predominance of evidence that the new Minis are better than the old ones (they should be, but I'll wait until I see more than magazine reviews say so), and it's complete BS that Ruger won't sell 30 round magazines (or design the darn...

In reality, you'd be in more danger if I missed while using my .45 for HD than my .223.

IF the rifle round is a non-expanding type (i.e. solid or FMJ) AND IF those rifle rounds hit targets that do NOT cause it to yaw and fragment, it will penetrate quite well (thus why they penetrate boards and body armor well, but fragment all to hell in fluid/semifluid mediums (like gel...

People don't seem to realize that you can't compare the older DPMS rifles to their new ones. Manufacturing processes have changed, they are different rifles. The military-style DPMS rifles (their A2 models) come with chrome0lined barrels and chambers, and are chambered in 5.56x45mm, not...

Damn it 50 Freak!! Get outta my dream!! Yeah, my dream gun is the venerable M41A Pulse rifle. Yeah, I'll never get it (a real one anyway).

Within its fragmentation range, the 5.56mm is extremely lethal. Damage to flesh within this range is often worse than with non-fragmenting 7.62mm FMJ. Outside the fragmentation range, there is much less tissue damage, and shot placement becomes much more critical. FWIW< I hear our men are...

Very little recoil. Probably not much good past 100 meters. Humongous muzzle flash. Preach it brother! I've been buying a crate everytime my "ammo fund" allows. I learned my lesson from the 7.62x39 days. Was $60, then $80, then $110, then not available, now $130+ per case. I ain't waiting...

First of all, guys, Mosins (and every other battle rifle, including 1903s and M1s, and later on, the M16s) had 4 MOA as their acceptance standard. Because we weren't being bombed and having to leapfrog our factories back every few months, so we were able to keep MOST of our rifles more accurate...

A proper comparison would be an SVT-40 (in 7.62x54R -- identical nominal ballistics to the M2 ball in .30'06). Either way, the Garand is the superior weapon. As staed numerous times, it soundsly beats the SKS in all areas but price. It beats out the SVT-40 due to the SVT being a bit less...

The consistant 1½ MOA mentioned by rbernie is about as good as it gets. Again, consistantly. IF the barrel and rifling are in excellent condition, it will most likely be a very good shooter. The supposed "weakness" of the action is a non-issue, it was built for the .303, not overbuilt...

There's plenty of good Soft points out there for it. Don't be fooled, the softpoints available for the 7.62x54R are all cup-and-core bullets, there's no "premium" stuff, despite some of it going for premium prices. Also, make no mistake, these bullets WILL kill anything in North America. The...

To me, "tactical .30-06" will always be an M1 Garand. OK, an M1D with a modern mildot scope. . .:neener: Oh and guys are talking about "heavy barreled Winchester Stealth in .30-06". Winchester's "heavy" barrel '06 was the Black Shadow. It's a heavier-profile barrel than normal, but not...

I love Mosin Nagants. I hope people continue to think they're trash, so they'll stay cheaper longer for me to buy. But, I think that outshooting an AR is really you not being experienced with the AR. I shoot the Mosin well (and they are more accurate than given credit for), but my AR will...

First of all, only clips marked with the arrow-in-triangle Ishevsk arsenal mark are genuine for the Mosin. Second, the best way I found to strip them into the rifle is to push back on the rounds (kind of tipping the clip back towards the buttstock) and they slide right in. Third, unless...

The cheapest fix for trigger slap is here: http://www.gunsnet.net/Linx310/slapfix.htm (there is NO ATF problem doing this. The easiest way to fix trigger slap is one of Tapco's G2 kits: http://www.tapco.com/product_list.asp?dept=190&last=13 Most newer GP WASR-10s already have the G2 kit...

One thing you can ALWAYS be sure of: if it's not the last batch, the next batch will cost more, if you find something you want, and have the $$, get it while you can. I've passed up many a good deal in my time, thinking there'd be more later, and often, there wasn't.

Umm, it might mean something, I'm not sure. But, umm, is the fact that my favorite gun pusher just leaves the milsurps in their shipping crates because he knows I'll come over and clean them for free, for the privelege of getting to handpick the ones I want an indication? Or maybe the fact...
