I know this was said tongue-in-cheek in a joking manner right? :uhoh: :barf:

It's not "broken" and as of right now has shot nearly a thousand rounds and has been through about 300 rounds error free. Basically, all I did was polish the right side of the bolt carrier that is visible in the ejection port. Didn't polish the rails, didn't polish the off-side, didn't...

Right, but speed alone does not make a more accurate bullet. Bullet construction, case design, and other factors all come into play. Yes, all else equal, a faster bullet is more accurate than a slower one. However, handloaded M118-spec 7.62 Match at 2700-ish fps is going to be more...

The show had some silly things in it: "The M16 is more accurate because it fires a faster bullet. Faster bullets are more accurate than slow ones." I know that if a bullet travels faster, it has less time for wind and other factors to affect it, but such a blanket statement is too broad and...

Borrow a trick from American GIs in Korea and wizz on it to defrost it. Nope. Didn't go near them. Cosmetic only. I am probably going to try new mag springs and see if that helps. The mags were kinda tired.

I haven't cleaned it in a while and I am hoping the build-up of nastyness will help. As far as the carrier, all I did was put it "in the white" and polish the part you see. I never messed with the bearing surfaces for the bolt or carrier rails. The original AK-47s came with unfinished bolt...

How's that? What's got the ATF so pissy about imported barrels? Why not just import the barrels seperately? I agree that the ATF making it's own rules outside public consent is wrong. See their recent decisions regarding SBR Form 1s.

(slight thread hijack) My AK tale of woe, which I think I caused: My AK is an Arsenal USA SSR-85C built with all Hungarian parts on a Hungarian FEG receiver. Of course, it has the requisite US-made parts, some very smooth Arsenal FCG and PG. Anyway, I bought it used, but still in good...

Me too. I thought I was the only person the the world with a finicky AK. My AK has the reliability of an MGB, while my AR is as reliable as a Toyota. I've gotten real good at AK malfunction drills.

Keep the NFA, but redefine the firearms regulated: A "Machine Gun" is defined as a weapon sold in a box that conspicuously says "Machine Gun" somewhere on the box. The ability of the firearm to operate automatically, that is; the firearm will continue to fire until all the available...

On my post (and apparently the Army is the strictiest), but anyway, if you are a dependent, you have to have a "sponsor", or someone to have the guns registered in their name for you. For example, if your dad was the serviceman, he would register them under his name, and both he AND you would...

It has to be stored in the arms room. It is handled regularly by the armorer for serial number checks. I've also heard horror stories about people coming back to find their guns dirty (the armorer or someone shot it) and rusty from fingerprints and handling. It ain't theirs, so they don't...

True. I am just REALLY shocked at how anti-RKBA the military is.

Y'all are right. I'll knuckle under and register them. Still burns my 4th point of contact though. Pythonguy: My reluctance comes from living in a Free state where registration is not required for ownership. It's the Principle of the thing. No one has the right to know what I own...

I've spoken to a few other people who say "just go back and forth and don't worry about it." They don't check at the gate, the only concern is if I get stopped. I am inclined to do this, or to do what you say (register a couple and then take them all if I want). BUT, if I am stopped by...

I'm in a spot. Ft. Polk has a world-class shooting range. 500-meter rifle, 60-meter pistol ranges, awesome shotgun set-ups for trap, skeet and 5-stand. Archery too. Only restriction is no full-auto. Everything else is cool; rapid-fire, FMJ ammo, etc. They have high-power matches, unit...

So? They only make long-barreled sporting guns now. If they still made the short-barreled Model 37 "Riot Guns" that are actually decent for home defense AND they still slamfired, then I would shed a tear. They stopped building good Ithacas a long time ago.

The M96 is a no-go. Reliability issues no lefty sights don't like the looks no quick-change barrel availability of spare parts is terrible

I'll have to look into barrel makers. I figured I would just buy a barrel as making it would be a pain. I have some ideas for what I want and some sketches. It would be rifle. Here are some key features so far: BREN-style top feed LEFT-HANDED offset sights (yes I'm a lefty and the...

I can't find a gun with the features I want, so I'm thinking about designing my own. I've already got some ideas about how it would work, the overall design and the end objectives, but how hard is it to make a design or idea a reality? I figure I'll need a complete machine shop and a skilled...
