Beware, I've had negative experiences with PayPal. I was warned too about them years ago and didn't listen. Sure enough, PP without explanation suddenly decided to freeze a $600 transaction. It was a funds transfer from me to my mother. Multiple calls to PP customer service, they refused to...

I would say simple physics would prevail here. That is a bullet that passes completely through and exits the target has not transferred it's full energy into the target. Exit wounds are larger and more destructive than entry wounds, this is true. But there is a lot to be said for the damage done...

Hello everybody, I've got a Renato Gamba made Mod80 Mauser HSc .380. I bought it at a pawn shop a year or two ago and was told that the person who sold it to the pawn shop that was a surplus weapon that was previously owned by an unnamed Israeli police organization. I know that the Israeli's...

Hi all! I've got a couple of guns I'm having trouble finding good holsters for. A Renato Gamba made Mauser HSc mod 80 .380 and a Canik made Tristar P120. I already have your run of the mill Uncle Mike's canvass holsters that fit everything for both guns, but I'm looking for molded leather fit...

Swapping out the lower sounds like it would be a bit pricey. Well worth it I'm sure, but would have to be something I'll have to save up a few months for. It does have a picatinny rail mounted on top, I've had a look inside and it looks like it's in no danger of interfering with the mechanical...

Hmmm, para configuration, I'm not familiar with that. Sounds interesting though. I'll have to do some research on that. Thanks for the tip about the hybrid cut, as I said, this is my firs FAL so I'm not too familiar with them yet.

Yeah, as I mentioned to Bwana John, it looks like I've got a real frankenFal here. Every picture I've seen online of FAL rifles have a different stock too, mine has a thumb hole stock. There does seem to be some play when the metric mag I have for it is inserted, but that does not seem to affect...

Hi there dh1633pm, thanks for your reply! It looks as though the magwell is inch patterned, though the mag that came with the rifle when I bought is metric. I posted some pics for Bwana John if you'd like to take a look.

Hi BBBBill, thanks for your reply. Based on yours and the replies of others to my post, it looks as though the magwell at least is inch patterned, though the mag that came with the rifle when I bought is metric. I posted some pics in response to Bwana John's reply, take a look, tell me what you...

Hi Bwana John, thanks for responding. I took some pics of the mag well and of the 20rd magazine that came with the rifle. Based on everything I've learned so far from yours and everyone else's replies to my post it looks like I've got a real frankenFal here. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems...

Hello Folks, I Recently bought an Italian made Mauser HSC .380 at a pawn shop. The gun is in mint condition, it would not surprise me if it had never been fired before I bought it. I was told that it was a surplus weapon once owned by an Israeli police organization (which one specifically I...

Hello all. Got a question for all you FN FAL aficionados out there, I recently bought an FN FAL style rifle at a pawn shop, This is the first FN FAL I've ever had or used and it's a very different animal than the AR style weapons I'm familiar with. After spending many hours of research and trial...

On the surface there appear to be some differences which would seem to be cosmetic, but judging by the similar configuration of the safety and slide lock levers I would not be at all surprised if the two are indeed very similar internally. Speaking strictly from aesthetic point of view (I see...

.308 Norma, I'm glad to hear your wife got over it and is now able to handle the semi-auto of her choice. Like I said, practice makes perfect. My neighbor though to this day is still scared of all guns and refuses to handle another one. I tried to explain to her that her fears would be resolved...

I know it's not the case in your original post, but I think it's worth mentioning that a person's comfort level with firearms in general has a lot to do with it. I tried to teach my neighbor to shoot. Took her out to a range and taught her how to operate my Colt Series 80 Gov't Model .45ACP...

Greetings all, I just acquired a new TriStar (Canik) P120 9mm, 19+1. So far, after about 200 rounds, I'm generally very pleased, it seems to me to be one very solid chunk of well made steel (call me old fashioned, I'm not the biggest fan of polymer guns, no beef, just personal preference I...
