The JRA Home page says no steel cased ammo is to be used in their rifles, but doesn't state why. Researching here, it seems the concern is the premature wear of internal parts caused by the steel (e.g. extractors). JRA makes their own receivers. Are their receivers not up to handling a...

Well, I had quite the wake-up call this morning (pardon the pun.) My security alarm went off at 5:00 AM. It has NEVER had a false trip. I jumped up and went for the gun-vault under my bed, and could not get it to open (the battery was low). I spent about a minute pushing buttons, and gave...

Hi all, To get rid of the thumb hole on a Mak90, parts have to be replaced with US made parts (i.e., the trigger group). Except for the stock, a Mak90 is military grade. Are the Tapco (or equivalent) replacement parts on par with the mil-spec parts that are in the gun? Has anyone noted any...

Does a BP pistol need transition "paperwork" to be sold, or is it treated like any other purchase in the store?

All, Last weekend a maniac shot up the house next to me at 4 in the morning. He was out to get his own nephew, and when he drove into the cul de sac, he initially came up MY driveway first, 'cause he had the address wrong! I am making some security changes at my house, and I bought some...

Hello. Does anyone know if it's legal to lend a gun to a friend (non felon) in NC for the purpose of self defense?

Hi all. Does any know of any real world defensive situations where a defender thwarted an attacker with the Hornady 410 critical defense round? The one with the BB's and flat disks? The round is a good thought for apt dwellers. Not sure if it actually stops bad guys though.

Hi all. I came down with tinnitus, and I am afraid to shoot, for fear of worsening the problem. I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried shooting with tinnitus, and what the results were. FYI, while suffering with tinnitus, i wanted to gently test my ears, and I went to an outdoor range...

In light of the seemingly ever-more-common "mass shootings," the frequent conservative response is to arm more people, carry more often, or push to allow arms in typically restricted places (or all of the above). The only way to validate that theory is to put it into action. I feel we are only...

Hi. I noticed a couple NIB (or close to) VZ2008's in my area for sale cheaper than you can buy retail. Looks like the same product they sell at Classic Arms. It makes me wonder why the owners want to sell them already. Is there something not to like about this product? Is the Century Version...

I've seen Bulgarian 5.45 for $389 on another site as well. Is this too good to be true???? Or is "Bulgarian" mis-leading, and the quality could be suspect? Is this maybe a WASR in disguise? http://www.southernohiogun.com/featured-products-1/bulgarian-ak-74-545x39-cal.html

I found a wire wrap SMLE no1 Mk3 for sale for $143. It is made in India. I looked for the "EY" stamp meaning emergency use, but did not see one. Could not find a date of manufacture either. There was a stamp of "CF" in a few places. Can anyone tell me when the Indians started to...

Hi all! I like to pack light, and the SU-16c intrigues me. I am, however, concerned about the platforms functionality. I've read a review where they actually threw the rifle into a frozen river, and let it sit for a while, and it came out firing! In the military, I had an experience...

Hi! I recently bought a special run of .44 specials from thunder Ranch. They were labeled "keith loads" and had the appearance of a Keith WC design. At the range, however, the kick of the so called "keiths" didn't feel any different from my standard 240 grn .44 special rounds, or any other...

Anyone have any opinions on this? I have been entertaining the idea of a 5.45. At this price, should I jump? Or are these reputed to be POS? http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Romanian_WASR-2_5.45x39_AK_Rifle.html

Hi All I can't figure out if the M70 has a century receiver or not. If so, is it just a knock off of a WASR? Aside from the lack of chrome barrel, is it a solid firearm? Or is it just another century product (canted sights, rattles, and rough edges) ? Any help would be great. I...

This guy rants quite a bit, and seems to speak to his people the way Hitler did in Germany. Does anyone believe his threats are credible? Or is he just a blow hard. After all, Iranians (as a lot) tend to throw tantrums and yell and scream about everything. Question to ponder: A)...

I stumbled across this rifle on the PRC military web site, and it looked really cool. It appears to be an advanced version of the AK. Does anyone know if they make, and sell, a Semi auto version of this rifle? I don't suppose the MAK-90 is related to this, is it? It doesn't appear to...
