    Anyone shooting a Ruger SR-762? Opinions?

    I know this doesn't answer your particular question, but I am in love with my 556C. It's a frickin beast. If the 762 is anything like the 556, you should be gtg. FWIW I have thought about getting one as well, (I guess to have big brother and little brother together) and I have not come...

    Why 30 Round Magazines...

    Not sure why 30 rounds was chosen for the AK...and I know quite a bit about them. I do know that the 'standard' 30 rounds for a 'battle rifle' I guess you could tentatively call them was decided after our American soldiers in 'Nam were getting PO'ed that theirs were 20 and the viet cong were...

    Nightmares of Gun Jamming Up.

    I'm not sure it means a dang thing except you're not sure why your gun would function that way with what should be considered a minor problem for a glock; and as many have stated before you might be having a lack of confidence in it. Shoot it till you feel better or sell it. However, if it makes...

    1989 ban?

    Hey guys! I was just wondering if someone could give me a simple outline of what the 1989 gun ban pertained to and what laws it changed. I have done a little looking around but haven been able to find much on 'bans' except the 1994 AWB. I have a gun that was supposedly imported before that...

    Expanding bullet for AK 47

    Soft nose of whatever brand you prefer and shoots the best out of your rifle will do the job if you make a quality shot. I have used my AK47 for hunting as well for hunting and that's what works for me. As for home defense; faster moving projectiles that destabilize faster work better for home...

    Ok other uses of a gun as a tool?

    I have taken many pistol, rifle, and self-defense courses. I have ALWAYS been taught that a gun is a tool, a tool for shooting, be it in self defense, hunting or on a battlefield. As harsh and politically incorrect as it may sound, a gun is a tool designed for killing. I have been taught, and...

    Barrel cleaning after firing corrosive ammo

    I have seen some ruined gas ports on ak 47s/74s because people simply don't take into account EVERYTHING that might have contact with gasses from the cartridges. As said before by Sam, flood the AKs and semi autos that have seen lots of use and then clean as normal. I am probably OCD when it...

    Got an sks problem!

    Thanks RC, I think you gotta be right about this. The more I think about all the symptoms and that once that cartridge was out I was able to make the hammer hit the firing pin easily. I know I'm gonna feel like an idiot haha and I'm seriously not a newbie when it comes to guns. I'm gonna take a...

    Got an sks problem!

    Appreciate the help guys, I got the thing out, I just took a flat head screw driver and wedged it between the bolt and chamber and pryed it carefully back, with the recoil spring out the bolt carrier just slid right back once I got it started. Again, thanks for your help and responses, I need to...

    Got an sks problem!

    I was going to shoot my uncle-in-laws sks, seemed in working order, loaded 2 rounds, pulled the trigger and nothing. Waited 30 seconds and couldn't pull the bolt carrier back, so I took off the dust cover and pulled out the recoil spring and looked at the hammer, it didn't appear to have come up...

    Bloomberg - Terrorists are gun violence victims.

    I guess he would have rather seen the police beat him to death with sticks...but then he would be trying to get large dangerous sticks off the streets!

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Old school wood stock single shot 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. Waaay more pain than they're worth. Taurus ANYTHING. S&W semi auto handguns, NOT because if their performance, just hate the triggers. Hi-point and Jimenez goes IMO almost without mentioning. And honestly probably a few more I...

    How long does it take for skills to degrade?

    My archery skills degrade MUCH faster than my marksmanship skills. I have only gotten to shoot about 1/4 as much this year as last year due to ammo prices soaring, however, if I take a month off from shooting my guns, and a month off of shooting my bow; my archery skills have suffered much more...

    Do you still believe that your gun related records are safe?

    Nothing is sacred when it comes to your firearms with the current political environment we live in. I don't think that they are constantly monitoring who is buying when and what, however if they are curious I don't think they lose any sleep over taking an unjustified gander.

    Do you try and catch a dropped gun?

    Let it fall!!!! I know it's hard to think of letting your gun get dinged up, but I won't lie at all and say I don't try for the 'foot save' if I can! However, I NEVER EVER try to catch it. I know it's been said, but the best advice is not trying to grab your gun to save a trip, it's not worth it.

    Laminated Hand Gun Permit

    I guess I'm lucky being in Oklahoma. I've had a concealed permit for about 3 1/2 years and ours is very nice, sturdy plastic and every bit as nice as a drivers license.
