Looks like I may be relocating to the Sierra Vista area in the near future. I'd very much appreciate any tips on good gunshops, good ranges or other places to shoot, or general pointers (feel free to PM if not gun-related enough to pass muster - looking for any and all info about the area)...

So the major downer on my future SBS/SBR aspirations was finding out that I have to get ATF approval to go interstate with the things. Most of what I've read would suggest that the only real solution is to preplan your trips. In Googling for "ATF 5320 approval time" I came across this: Is...

If anyone has an SP-01 with the "shelf" style safety, i.e.: Is it easier to reach than the standard CZ safety? I have a 75B Omega and I love it, but the safety is simply too far forward for me to snick off reliably. Might try to sell or trade it towards an SP-01 with the shelf safety if...

Specifically the Hogue 08732 (12" LOP overmold set): 1) How is the recoil pad on the Hogue compared to, say, a Remington Supercell (or whatever other premium recoil pad you can compare to)? 2) Will an aftermarket recoil pad fit on the Hogue, e.g., is the butt end to the same "spec" (LxWxH...

I'm stuck - slide stop and safety are out, ejector's out, mainspring's still in and none of my remaining FCG parts seem to want to budge. At this point should I just be dropping the mainspring or what? :o ETA: Okay, I went ahead and dropped the mainspring and everything's out except the...

There's a maker out there that IIRC specialized in full western rigs and was well thought of by Rangers; they had big glamour shots of some of the more impressive examples, and they were just breathtakingly beautiful - tons of tooling, conchos and the works. They were priced at something like...

Found today while clearing trash and debris from campsites. Obviously thrown out (due to broken tip) rather than lost, so I kept it as a souvenir. White plastic handles, and has a fish scaler in a second slot as well. Blade is marked: PROV. CUTLERY PROV. R.I. U.S.A. A Googlin' didn't...

After probably upwards of 10-12k rounds downrange, my Savage 64 is finally starting to show signs of spring wear/light FP strikes often enough to convince me to finally swap out a few springs. I need a mag spring for the original mag and a bolt spring; basically just wondering if I should go...

The past three or four emails I've gotten from J&G seem to have messed-up formatting; I use Gmail, and in both Firefox and IE all I end up getting is a grey graphic bar and no ad. Anyone else? Just want to make sure it's them and not me...

I'm looking to buy a CZ in the next couple of weeks, and I'm hoping I'll be able to get my hands on an SP-01 locally, but if not, one of my area shops has three 75Bs in stock for a very fair price - two with Omega triggers for $479, and one non-Omega for $430. I'd never heard of the Omega...

Buddy gave me a knife to take home and sharpen today. It's a standard hunting knife, obviously worse for the wear (the handles, for one, are wrapped in what appears to be some sort of glued-on aluminum foil) and the only markings anywhere on the thing are HALSON SOLINGEN GERMANY on the...

All, Woot.com is selling a three-piece Shun set (your choice of two sets) for $179 + $5 shipping. Seems to be a pretty good deal as the lowest price I can find elsewhere is about $250. Might want to jump on it if you've been looking for kitchen knives! (woot.com is a well-known site, the...

So I did a Saiga conversion a while back and finally got around to actually shooting the thing. It fires fine, but feels like something is seriously reverbrating and makes a very LOUD "sproing" noise. My Yugo underfolder doesn't do this at all - solid as a rock and no weird noises. I've checked...

I'm talking about the synthetic field forend they're using on the newer guns - instead of being flat on the rear end (facing the receiver) it just tapers down to a gradual point. If anyone knows what they're calling it or the relevant part number, I'd be obliged; I'm looking to swap my wood...

Okay, I'm hoping hso or others can give me a straight answer on this. Girlfriend bought me a Rainbow Leek, model 1660VIB, for Christmas. I love it, but I'll love it just a tiny bit more once I know exactly what the blade steel is. It isn't marked anywhere on the knife, and the internets is...

My next big purchase is going to be a CZ 452 and a can. I'd like to see some pics of your setups. :) And to address the inevitable question, sure, I'll count ARs as "technically .22s" :p If you're just going to play the postcount game with some snarky three-word comment about Obama or being...

Specifically for the 7.62x39: Is there a source for OEM handguards/forends anywhere? I'm planning to paint 'em and am worried about messing 'em up; while it would suck to have to replace the (K-VAR) buttstock, at least it's doable. I don't know of anyplace selling the handguards, though...

Pretty simple question: when mounting a dot sight on an AR, specifically an Aimpoint Micro, is there a simple way of clearing the front sight (by use of a taller mount, etc.) without totally screwing up cheek weld, or is one pretty much limited to a folding front sight for an unobstructed view...

See subject line. Assume that you are entirely out of ammo and without any other means of defense, save a shrill wail devoid of all hope and profuse urination (zombies are not observed to be deterred by loud, unpleasant noises or odors, though there may be strains of delicately liberal...

Some observations: THE YUGO: - The Yugo's stock locks up tight, is comfortable to shoulder and doesn't produce a cheek weld any worse than the Saiga's. The pistol grip is a joy, and actually fills my hand, unlike the comically-small standard AK grip. - The mag that came with the Yugo...
