I've been looking for one for a while for an upcoming Romy G build. APEX just posted some yesterday. 79.95 in used condition. Just a head's up for anybody looking for one.

I want to get into the 5.45 game, but it just seems impractical now. All the OE barrel kits are gone. Mag's are expensive. Ammo has went up in price, but still cheaper than about anything else. A Tantal is very tempting, but I'm so invested in other systems/calibers I don't think I can swing it...

How many of you prefer the M16A1/SP1 to the A2 or M4 types? My personal experience is limited to a ban era A2 and a 6920. I greatly enjoy them both. However, I do have a new Colt M16A1 upper waiting to be built on a NoDak lower. I can't wait to build it because The A1 will always be the iconic...

I just ordered six black windowed 30 rounder's for 9.99 each. DSG Arms. I've only ordered from them once before but was very pleased with their service. To get this deal you have to open an account. The price will change when you add your item's to your cart. As a bonus, if you spend at least...

Just pulled one out of my Mom's basement. Pretty good shape, has been drilled and tapped for a scope mount on the left side of the receiver. I must add, this rifle has a lot of personal significance to me. It's the one my Dad taught me to shoot with. I've never seen it with a scope. Are mounts...

Greetings all. While I see the need to use an AR for defense in my particular situation to be unlikely, I do like to keep my options open. Right now, I use Win Q3131. Seems like TAP 75 grain is the best choice. Opinions?

I realize it is somewhat of a "specialty" round. However, the prices of ammo I have looked at on Midway's website are crazy. The most basic "old school" box of twenty is forty bucks. One box(I don't recall specifics) was one-twenty a box!

Thoughts on this appreciated, especially from combat vets and those properly trained in FA use. Especially with "assault rifles". I feel it's especially over-played in films as far as effectiveness. Looks cool, but I think at non-close ranges it's validity is greatly over-played. Supressive fire...

Greetings all. By "life expectancy", I mean, how long does a soldier maintain possession of the mags he's been issued? Obviously, if a soldier is operating fairly "close to home", magazine availability may be of little concern. For a spec-ops or guerilla fighter operating behind enemy lines...

Greetings all. In the past month or so I've noticed an increased interest in the FAL on this and other boards. Why is that? The cost of 7.62 ammo has doubled and sometimes even tripled in the last couple of years. Receivers are expensive and in short supply for the home builder. I will say, I...

Greetings all. Everyone realizes ammo costs are up and availabilty, especially in certain calibers, is low. I recentley have made a couple of purchases and have come up with personal per round cost limits. Please note, this thread is geared towards factory assembled cartridges. Reloading is a...

Greetings all. Lately I've been kicking around the idea of buying another M1911. I have a Colt Series '70 and really enjoy shooting it. It's by far my favorite centerfire range pistol and my back-up home defense pistol. My primary being a Glock M22. The idea of combining the capacity of the...

Greetings all. As of late I find myself increasingly interested in the 5.56 chambered AK. Tales of unreliability on the internet have tempered my enthusiasm to a degree,however. I do realize each rifle in this caliber seems to more or less require it's own specific magazine. Other than that...

Greetings all. Let me first confess that I am a milsurp junkie. Wow, that was easy. Despite my long term affliction, my only hands-on experience with vintage semis is with a couple of M1 Garands. Let me add, that has been nothing but great. The M1 remains to this day, a true rifleman's rifle. I...

Greetings all. I do most of my rifle shooting with AK/AR rifles and milsurps using iron sights. However, my club does have a six hundred yard firing point and I would like a scoped bolt action rifle to test my skills with at that range. I'm thinking something like a Savage 10FP in .308, with...

Greetings all. The vast majority of us here own rifles. How many of us here own/operate a rifle system? First, let me define what I consider a rifle, or any firearm really, system. I'll use the ever-popular AR15 as an example. First off, to have a rifle system, we need rifles. Multiple...

Greetings all. As part of my club's CMP clinic, I'll be shooting in my first match soon. I'm sure among us, there must be some avid High Power shooters. Since this a clinic event, I'm sure it will somewhat "less formal" than the average matches the club hosts. Nontheless, I was hoping some...

Greetings all. Just curious if anyone else here buys ammunition and mags for rifles they don't yet own, but intend to own in the future. For example, I've got magazines for the CMP M1 Carbine I don't own yet. Same with Galil mags. I surely don't regret buying 7.62x51 ammo when it was cheap, for...

Greetings all. The title says it all. 42.95 per battle pack. No, I don't work for AIM. However, I would like to see some members of my "home" forum get some if they need it. Probably won't be long before the guys over on ARF.com buy it all up! -jagd

That smell.....that cosmoline smell.....it smells like history! Seriously folks, does anybody out there like the smell of cosmoline? Not the sticky mess it brings with it, but just the smell. It always brings back memories of gun shops and shows I've been to, and old war relics I've brought...
