I am selling a couple of .308 Bren mags for use in an Inch FAL. A quick check indicates that the .308 Bren was produced 1958-1991. I think this means that all Bren mags are pre-ban and would be legal in states such as New York. Please advise. Thanks, Drakejake

I just sold the first FAL I ever bought: a Century Incher built on a Century receiver. I now have two FALs left. The one at the top in the photo is an M444 with Imbel Gear Logo receiver marked IAI, Liberty Arms, and Pacific Armament Corp. The stock, IIRC, is the X model from DSA. It has a...

I own two of these pistols. Each is stainless and has a six inch barrel. I shot both in the past few days. I shoot cheap value pack ammo from Wal-Mart. I have been shooting Federal hollow point from 550 round boxes. I am just a plinker so I am not picky about ammo if it works. The last two...

Today I realized that the purchaser of my 15 round factory mag for the Star Models 30 and 31 was won at auction by someone who lives in Fairport, N.Y. The mag is new old stock and in the original Interarms package. These pistols was last made c. 1990's. Do I have to return the buyer's check...

I am looking at a 1976 vintage 9mm Hi-Power without the target sights, with external extractor (Mark II?), in very good condition. Slight wear on the slide but finish condition is probably 99.5%. After market grips. Any idea of value on the open market? Thanks, Drakejake

I think the answer is no, but I will ask: Will a semi-auto pistol designed for .22LR function properly with .22 Long or .22 Short? I assume the slide won't cycle fully and that there may also be failures to feed. Thanks, Drakejake

It took me five months to buy this 38 acres because the owner was in jail for growing pot and there was a state tax lien on the land. It is clear that he was growing pot on the land I bought and probably had plans to expand his operation. But I surmise that early on he decided it would be...

I heard last night that a friend of mine had successfully loaded and shot .45 Long Colt bullets in .45 ACP cases out of a 1911. My friend is active in cowboy shooting and loads .45 Colt. To save money in reloading .45 ACP, he worked up a load which would allow him to put the bigger bullet into...

Does anyone have an opinion on .223 rifles made by Double Star? Are they a good value for the money? What about the usefulness of an Eotech sight on an AR-15? Thanks, Drakejake

I have a .223 suppressor with 1/2 by 28 threads. If I thread the barrel of my 5.45 WASR-2, is there any reason I could not use the .223 on it? 5.45 is very close to 5.56, yes? Has anyone done this? Anyone using a suppressor on a 5.45 rifle? Has anyone used a threading kit to allow use of a...

First of all, I cannot find the Interordnance website--if they have one. Please help. Second, a friend has asked about an Interordnance product called STG 2003-C, said to be a copy of the Wieger East German AK in .223. Any info on this? What mags does this use? Any problems? thanks...

Aim now has two kinds of polymer Bulgarian mags for AK74. The brown ones are described as in excellent condition. The plum ones, in "very used" condition. They are $9.95 each and I got five of each variety. The brown ones will not lock into my WASR-2. The plum ones will. Don't buy the...

Hello, I have several rifles in .223 (Mini 14s) and one in 5.45 (Romanian WASR-2). the barrel diameters at the muzzle are about .550 IIRC. The Mini has a step-up in diameter a little past the muzzle. What are the chances that I could use a threading kit in 1/2 by 28 to thread these barrels...

This may be the wrong place for this question, but I bet someone here knows about this. I want to measure straight-line distances on a tract of wooded land. Can I do this with one of the GPS handheld devices made by Garmin, for example? I am talking about distances of up to a half mile in...

Apparently Scherer makes a thread adapter that attaches to the barrel with four set screws and allows one to screw on a .223 suppressor, brake, or flashhider with 1/2 by 28 threads. It is stated that the barrel should have a diameter of between .635 and .705 to be able to use this adapter...

I would like to get some personal impressions or references to sources on the relative loudness of firearms. If we have a scale in which .308 shot out of a 16 inch barrel with compensator is 100, and a .22 semi-auto pistol with six inch barrel is one, how would you rate 7.62 by 39, .223, 5.45...

I know that rules on shooting firearms will come from local county and city governments, but can anyone recommend a general source on this subject? Can one safely make some generalizations about states in which shooting on private property is allowed or barred? I am particularly interested in...

Some dealers are advertising Bulgarian 5.45 that is non-corrosive. And yet I have seen statements that all milsurp 5.45 is corrosive. What are the facts? Thanks, Drakejake

I took six loaded mags with me to the range, although I didn't empty all of them. I had jams and a failure to go into battery with the only steel mag, which resembles the standard AK-47 mag. The bolt carrier seems to have been hanging up on this mag, preventing the action from going into...

Today I tried to adjust a scope on my AK-74. I turned the adjustment all the way up but the shots were still below the bullseye. (I have also had this problem with my Saiga .308 and the same type of mount.) I am using one of those side-mounts. To get the cross-hairs to line up with POI, do I...
