Some Mini-14s don't fit right in the stocks, assuming you have a wood stock version, take the action out of the stock and bed the contact points with some cork or brass shim stock until the screws torque as tight as they'll go. Also, as others have said, the barrels tend to be thin so the group...

In my friend's collection he inherited from his late grandfather, is an HK91. Since we don't celebrate Halloween I took him to my father's property about 2 hours away and we shot off some rounds in it. Immediately, we noticed some issues. The gun would, every so often, rip the brass in half...

As the gun is now property of my friend, he's going to handle turning the receiver into the ATF. I asked him if he wanted me to do it, but he's far more capable in terms of resources and funds to do it. I plan to call my other friend who has the SVD and sell the parts to him for $800 as he is...

Very well! I figured this would be the unfortunate case. I just dialed my friend and let him know, he's going to sell me the parts for $400 ( everything minus the receiver/trigger ) as long as I disassemble it, and he's gonna talk to a lawyer about this. In the meantime I actually know someone...

I am not a gunsmith, but the K-31, if unmodified, should have a safety feature to force the gun into battery if the bolt doesn't fully lock. Either way, I tend to slam bolts home on any manual operation firearm, so it has never been a question of that.

One of my friend's grandfather died, and being that his father was locked up for child endangerment, his grandfathers widow has to deal with a ton of guns she doesn't want. I've been helping with moving them out, but I have encountered an issue that not even an FFL was able to give me a straight...

As I said, I am not copying the Carlos Hathcock event from Vietnam. I am using it as a lead in to the climax, to instill fear in Johnny as he will know at that point he stands substantially outclassed. This is similar to, and a nod to Sword Art Online II, where deuteragonist Sinon faces a masked...

I make enough money through server administration that I don't necessarily need this to succeed, it is more of a test for me I suppose, an exercise in discipline and patience.

The book will *hopefully* be published commercially. I'm still writing and revising the first few chapters to 'glue' them together cohesively. After I establish how the flow is and have first drafts of each chapter, I'll have to meticulously comb over them for mistakes and such. Depending on the...

Thanks for the tip. I just don't want the book to be scientifically inaccurate, and since I'm a stickler for detail and procedure, I wanted to ensure my knowledge of guns and engineering wasn't wasted. As I'm the student who in his first year of college did a report on ballistics of military...

Importer installed? Interesting. I was under the impression it was original to the gun, but it goes to show how little I've studied this particular gun and handguns in general.

I suppose so. I'll do some more research into it to be sure, and then I'll report back and cross check with other users on here regarding a few more questions about this scenario. Thanks for the help!

1. People who believe the AR-15 is infallible 2. People who believe the AK is infallible 3. People who try to refute claims with solely anecdotal information 4. Mall Ninjas 5. People who measure a firearm based on where it was made 6. Association of stereotypes with gun owners...

Being that I ask myself what would my Japanese friend, who is like a brother to me, would do in the situation, I would leave the gun in my car without even asking. I'm confident in my hand-to-hand self defense abilities that I could disarm someone before they could cause harm. Nobody in this day...

Hmm. Well this wasn't done at long range, but I appreciate the insight. Perhaps if one knew the force required to shatter the scope lens, multiply it by two, and the compare muzzle energy of the ammo they give to designated marksmen I would have a decent grounded measurement.

I will likely replace the rollers, but I've heard the firing pin replacements render the decocker unsafe. My gun passes the pencil test, so I'm confident that it is currently safe to decock on a loaded chamber ( Not that I store it loaded, of course! ) but I would desire a new firing pin, if it...

I'm writing a book that involves a particular firefight between the protagonist and anti-hero, a rebel in a second Civil War torn United States, wielding a Zastava M76, and a US military designated marksman wielding a M21. The scenario is that the two are in an undecided urban city, and are...

I have a CZ52, it is my go-to gun if someone breaks into my home ( Living where I do, it's always a risk ) and also a good gun for plinking due to abundantly cheap ammo ( I have lots of surplus Tokarev ). I can shoot a pie-plate at 25 feet, and I'm working to tighten that up, but its one of...

I never have done much hunting, but assuming I get the chance, crossbow.

I've shot several military arms, AR-15s, AR-10, M14, CETME, HK91, SKS, AK-M, Arisaka, 1903A1, M1 Carbine, Mauser, Mosin etc. If I had to pick one to survive, CETME or HK91 ( same basic design ) would be my first choice. Accurate, good sights, simpler than gas operation and in a common calibre...
