Labgrade was one of the first people I "met" when I joined this board. He was a good man. It makes me sad that his life ended the way it did. Rest in peace Alan.

Yep aerod, there was a tag under the butt plate. The guys name was also Hans. Must be popular name in those parts. There was also an abreviated word which I think means "heavy". Could that be heavy artillery or heavy weapons? Did a check on the serial number and found that the rifle was...

I voted for the Winchester pump cause its the only shotgun I have any experience with. Mine has never given me a problem so I'll stick with what I know.

Went out to the National Forest today and shot my new K31 for the first time. My gawd what a sweet shooting rifle! It is my first milsurp rifle and I honestly wasn't expecting much from it but what a pleasant surprise. Accuracy was excellent, the action slick, and I couldn't ask for better...

Self defense is a human right.

I would really like to just forget about doing it Tarpley, the problem is that it is a new shotgun and it had this anti rust goop applied to its inards at the factory. I've been able to disassemble the rest of the gun and clean it off but this stuff is still in the mag tube. I don't think it...

Thanks for responding guys. My shotgun is laying in pieces on the floor and I've spent the afternoon cussing at it while trying to pry this thing out. There is a narrow slot cut into the side of the retainer and thats where I've been prying. Maybe I'm being too gentle with it. Hardtarget, I...

I'm new to shotguns so please excuse the dumb question. I've got a new Winchester1300 Defender and cannot remove the magazine spring retainer. The owners manual says to pry the thing out with a screw driver but I cannot see how to do this without mangling things. I've played with it quite a...

Thanks for the help guys. I'm new to this milsurp stuff and appreciate any good advice I can get. Rome, I went and checked out the Parallax board and it is a gold mine of info. Thanks again!

I've got a milsurp rifle and would like to know what I should use to clean up the stock. The rifle is free of cosmoline but looks like it has some ground in dirt and grease on the stock. I would like to remove it without damaging the original finish. What do you think would work best?

I recently bought a K-31 and have discovered that while the rifles are a bargain everything else about it is expensive. Ammo, chargers, scope mounts, muzzle caps etc. are all much more expensive than for other surplus rifles. That is if you can find the stuff. As for the rifle itself, I have...

Was in a local gun shop about a week ago and while browsing the used rifle rack I noticed a K31. I just gave it a quick glance and noticed the price was $179. I grew up seeing these advertised in the back of gun rags for under $30 so my first thought was that this price was way too high. I...

Agricola, I read the article and noticed they kept using terms like "GUN-obsessed" to describe this teacher. Made him sound like he was mentally ill. Agricola, do you think people who enjoy firearms and keep firearms for self defense are mentally ill? Do you think the members of this board...

I'm happy with my Glock 22. Its the only handgun I own and I plan on keeping it forever.

Of all people my own brother! He is not a bad guy but he is about as liberal as you get on most issues and I just assumed he was also an anti. He knows that I am into firearms but never expressed any interest in them. He was visiting me about a year ago and suddenly asked to see some of my...

I like the Glock. I never thought I would say this being an old S&W revolver man but it has really grown on me. Some have pointed out that it has no "soul" but I think that is one of the strengths of this gun. It is like a plastic power drill or some other such tool that you can take out in...

I voted for FN because no one else had. A High Power would be a nice gun to own.

Hansolo, what do I think of bodily functions? I accept them as a necessary part of life. The problem I have with reading in the loo is the thought of "smudged" pages if you know what I mean. I do realize that reading helps many people relax and there is nothing wrong with that. What ever...

You wouldn't find anything in my bathroom. I think reading in the john is gross (no flame intended).

Gun-fucious $400 per child doesn't sound too shabby. I would feel lucky to get $100 back.
