    How much corrosion is too much?

    I picked up some Swedish surplus 6.5x55 from Samco a few months ago, and now that the weather is starting to warm up im finally going to be able to get out and start shooting it. The majority of it looks pretty good, but about 30% or so has enough corrosion around the rim of the case to make me...

    A question about background checks

    About 2 months ago i stopped by my usual FFL guy to pick up the Sig P6 i had ordered online, and after getting off the phone for the NICS check he mentioned that everytime he does one of these for me the first person he talks to isn't able to give authorization, they have to go up to the next...

    What military bolt action rifles were equipped with aperture sights?

    I know that the Springfield M1903A3 has them, and certain models of the Lee-Enfield do too, although im not sure exactly which ones. Also some Swedish Mausers are equipped with the diopter sights... Thats all i can think of right now, but I'm sure there are others out there. Anyone know of...

    Picked up a Swedish Mauser this weekend. Mojo sights?

    Yesterday i brought home an M38 Swedish Mauser made by Husqvarna, dated 1942. Other than a few dings and scratches on the stock it is in excellent contition, the bore looks great and i cant wait to get her out to the range. I am, however, thinking about upgrading the stock sights... but i...

    Have you ever had a broken firing pin?

    Like the title says, has this ever happened to you? And if so, in what kind of gun? Do you keep spare firing pins for any of your guns? Im just wondering how common this is. I have never had one of mine break, but then again i havent been shooting nearly as long or as often as some of the...

    What is the purpose of the "puck" in the Saiga 12?

    I converted a Saiga 12 recently, but I am curious about what the purpose of this thing inside the gas system is. It doesnt move very far inside there and none of the AK rifles that i am aware of use one. Why didnt they just use a normal gas piston like they do in the Saiga rifles? Are...

    POSP scope - tilted reticle?

    I recently put a POSP 4x24 on my Saiga .308 and so far I am quite pleased with it except for one thing... the reticle seems to be tilted just a couple of degrees to the right. Its not very much, just enough of a tilt to be annoying. I read the manual and they dont mention anything about it...

    Kobra help - windage knob is stuck

    I put a Kobra red dot on my Saiga, and while trying to get it sighted in im having a slight problem with the windage knob. The knob itself will turn just fine, but the reticle was not moving to the left or right at all. Upon closer examination, i noticed that the center screw was not turning...

    Question about Kobra red dot

    I just bought a Kobra to put on my Saiga, and this is my first time ever using a red dot. So here is my question - after mounting it on the rifle when I look through it i see 2 dots. One is small and sharp right in the middle, but there is another brighter and slightly blurry reflection that...

    Bought a pre-converted Saiga

    A couple of weeks ago i bought one of those pre-converted Saigas from Classic Arms for $550 and i finally got to take it out to the range the other day. It came with 2 30rd magazines - 1 metal and 1 plastic Pro-Mag. After putting a couple of hundred rounds through it, i must say that i am...

    Any precautions to take before firing an SKS for the first time?

    I bought a yugo 59/66 sks off of impact guns a couple of months ago, and now im finally getting around to shooting it for the first time. I spent a few hours cleaning all the cosmoline out of it and everything seems to be working fine with snap caps. But is there anything else i should check...
