    Best powder(s) for 7.62x39

    I'm slowly gathering components. Just got the die set and trimmer for the 7.62 X 39 round. Now trying to round up some 1X fired brass. I have a good bit of H4198 on hand from loading .308. Not sure if that's the same as the IMR 4198 or not. I'll have to check again. I'll be interested in...

    Which .308 platform?

    I'm in the same spot Tejas, except for the money that is. :o I already have a nice NIB DSA FAL, but have been thinking about a .308 bolt action for a more accuracte "reach out and touch someone" tool. A friend of mine bought a HOWA action in stainless. Japanese made, but gaining notoriety for...

    Bug out bag questions

    Here's a little sumpthin-sumpthin I whipped up a few years ago for 3-gun matches. The box could carry just about anything, food, ammo, supplies, etc. The closed lid doubles as a chair/work table. I have since added a lock/hasp on the lid. It has come in handy when the range/benches were a...

    Shots fired: Need non biased hd advice

    The most important priority is having a plan, and practicing that plan until it is second nature. Tactics. Before the stuff goes down. In a SHTF situation you will always default to your training. IOW, your mind is the first and most important weapon. As far as tool, I would choose the...

    show me your handgun holster!!

    My rare LNIB Kel-Tec P40 in the "BadmanXM" IWB hoster by Lasco Leather. This holster is about as comfortable as it gets while offering the added benefit of an extra mag on board. I also have the "Badman" version, without the "XM" (extra mag) holder, and it too is very comfortable. Thanks...

    DSA SA58 FAL anyone?

    Need more FAL pics and tips!!! Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize safety OR my new DSA. I have an XCR-L (.223) by Robinson Arms. A bunch of the guys shoot Wolf .223 in their XCRs with no apparent problems, but I only shoot Wolf/steel cased 7.62 X 39 in my AKs. ;)...

    DSA SA58 FAL anyone?

    I'd like to know more about why no Wolf also. I spoke with someone from DSA several days ago and he too told me that WOLF was verbotten. I don't have any Wolf .308, but it would sure be nice to have a rifle that would shoot it like the AK. :( Oh, and great pics! Keep the FAL pics...

    DSA SA58 FAL anyone?

    Been a member over at Fal Files since '06, just not an "active" member. :rolleyes: I've been doing a lot of reading and searching lately. The more I can read from guys like you that own the FAL, and have experience with it, the more I can learn. This thread has already been most...
