I vote nitride. It usually doesn't add much to the cost of the barrel. Good compromise between durability & accuracy. Fairly common in budget barrel choices. Stainless or unlined/ phosphate is a great choice for accuracy but for a .300bo pistol that wouldn't be a priority to me. Chrome is tough...

Looks like my Armscor 1600 magazine as well. The stocks are wood painted black.

Twang is normal for a break action springer. The gas pistons are quieter but gas piston Hatsans don't seem to have as good a service life. I've heard the newer ones are better. I have two Hatsan springers, a .25 and a .22, both purchased new. Both got smoother and quiter with use but any...

My first rebuild was an older 1400, probably one of the best older pumps out there. I just bought the parts and followed a Youtube video. And yea, the quad seal is the hardest part, but I used a dental tool and got it right away. It usually costs more to send em off than what they're worth. My...

+1 on Crosman for small parts but they only take orders over the phone and several times I've just paid a few bucks more to order a complete kit online from a reputable dealer. Be aware that old Benjamins are a bit trickier to rebuild than old Crosmans. And I always try an alcohol flush or ATF...

I went to an 18# spring in my Colt 80 series for my Advantage Arms .22 conversion and it functions fine with the original .45 upper. Even el cheapo steel case still cycles.

My first 9mm 1911 was a Rock Island GI, came across one at a gun show NIB and got it cheap with a cash offer. not super accurate but it was a GI, not a TAC II. Cheap fun. Only ran Checkmate mags cause they were cheapest and they worked. Recently bought my first Kimber, a 9mm Stainless II...

Same, I don't see any significant difference in groups but I do prefer the feel of a flat trigger. Only accessory I pit on my p320 that made a noticeable difference was a GoGas pedal.

FWIW I've heard of complaints with the Ruger factory scope rings, they'll mount lower than the pic rail & rings but I had brass hitting my scope as well with the Ruger rings. Used Loctite and snugged em down good but never ran em long enough to say they're reliable. Switched to the pic rail &...

Yes, do it. I'm not big into SA cowboy guns but bought a Ruger Blackhawk .45 convertible to shoot .45acp and never regretted it. I also shoot 10mm and .40 s&w and kept an eye out for exactly what you're looking at. They're scarce. Never found one at a price I could swallow. The MKII is a fine...

This is my recommendation. I'm a big fan of revolvers too but my old S&W mod. 49 Bodyguard has a heavy DA trigger pull and with good SD rounds it's not easy for weak hands to shoot. And most carry revolvers I see aren't any better. My Bodyguard does have a notched exposed hammer but that takes...

I'll agree, it's not hard to find a reliable AR mag. I started with PMAG gen 2 windowed mags and PMAG straight 20s. They worked fine but were a tight fit in both of my Rock River Arms lowers, took a lot of filing and they were never drop free. Today I mostly use transparent Lancers so I can spot...

For $800 you did good. My first AK was a WASR which I still have, then bought a full size Draco in 2015 and added a Bonesteel folding brace. Sold it a few years ago for more than what I paid for it new. Apparantly the new Dracos aren't as good as the older ones. And +1 on the VZ58, I have one...

I got spare Mossberg mags for my 42M-B and scope mounts for my 320 single shot from Havlin sales. Brand new and OEM quality. I'm starting to appreciate rimfire more, used to just shoot it thru a Ruger Am Rimfire and a Tikka T1x but some years ago my dad gave me about 20 old rimfire rifles...

I have a Mini-14 in .300bo, bought it new and have been happy with the accuracy. With a scope it groups well at 100 yards but I've tried a scope and a red dot and finally decided to just upgrade the crappy rear sight with a Tech Sight and that is my favorite setup. I may spring for an Ultimak...

OP, you're not a sissy. I bought my Dad the exact same lightweight Winchester in .30-06 to replace his mod. 94 in .30-30 many years ago and after one season of hunting he went back to his mod. 94 due to the recoil. I've had great results with a Limbsaver slip on pad I use on several rifles...

Yankee Hill Machine also makes a nice 'offset' riser if that's what your looking for. While I'm not a fan of most UTG stuff either, if you're looking for a .5 to .83" high riser, the UTG Pro (NOT the plain ol UTG) rail works very well.

With the gen 3 Sub2k coming out there's some good deals on the gen 2s. Lots of choices for mag type as well. But I've owned HP carbines in 9mm, .45 and 10mm and never had any issues with any of them. Great value and excellent customer support, I did drop my .45 & 10mm in the HTA bullpup stocks...

I run a BCA .40s&w and Lone Wolf 9mm conversion barrels in my gen 4 G32 (.357sig). Happy with the accuracy of both but the LW was much more expensive. I think the BCA was on sale for $45 at the time. I knew the LW would be a safe bet but hard to beat the bang for the buck of BCA. Same factory...

Fiocchi is best option for the P32, hotter than most and has the most generous taper on the rim portion of the cartridge so less likely to rim lock. Magtec shoots closest to POA for mine and S&B also runs well but Fiocchi groups best. A good cleaning wouldn't hurt, maybe not a field strip but...
