Recommend Home Defense for Elderly Couple w/Special Needs I have been asked by an elderly couple (70+) to help them choose firearms for Home Defense. They do not live in a particularly bad area and do not expect any problems. However, they are concerned about news reports of home invasions...

As I had posted here previously the recoil spring on my 82 is pretty weak. It really beats up my hand when I fire it, much more than my 52. While poking around the forumn just now I saw someone with a broken trigger guard that the factory rep said could have been caused by a weak spring, so I...

For some reason even I don't fathom, I've decided the next addition to my modest WWII collection will be a MAS. Already ordered 200 rds of 7.5 French ammo, now just need something to shoot it in. :) I know the 36s are bolt action and the 49s are semi. I don't know much about the variations...

Midway has 880rds (2x440 tin) of 147gr 7.62x54r available for 99.99. Didn't specify but the picture looked like Czech Silver Tip, if that means anything. I ordered 2x880 but don't plan on opening it when it comes in. Shipping seemed kind of high at $58, but it still beats $6/10 pack at Dunhams...

Was up late so I picked up the newspaper from the driveway before it was totally soaked. I thumbed through all the "Black Friday" ads and saw that Dunham's has M1 Carbines listed for $599 until 2:00pm, goes up $100 after that. The ad doesn't give much in the way of details but the picture shows...

The front sight on my CMP Inland M1 Carbine has one of the leaves bent. They definitely do not line up. The problem is I don't know which one is incorrect in order to attempt a repair. Does anyone have info or measurements I can use to figure out what is wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated...

If you live near a Dunham's they have their Sunday and Monday special going again. 91/30s are $59.99. They go up to $69.99 through Thursday. (Their ads expire on Thursday.) The also have hex receiver 91/30s for $89.99 all week.

A couple of months ago I got a CZ82 from the 2nd batch at AIM. Haven't had much of a chance to use it until last week when I took it to the range and put 50 rds through it. My hand was hurting in the web between the thumb and first finger. Looking around here it appears I need a new recoil...

A couple of months ago I purchased a 59/66 A1. Limited time has always made be choose between going to the range with something else, or taking the time to clean a couple pounds of cosmoline out of the SKS. This weekend I was heading to the range at a State Park but at the last minute wasn't...

I saw some 7.62x54r Polish ammo recently and was wondering if anyone here had experience with it. It seems to be priced reasonably but isn't worth if it there is a history of problems. I don't have any information other than it is 146gr. Checked 7.62x54r.net and didn't see any flags for the...

Hello A couple of weeks ago I picked up an Enfield on impulse. I'm just getting around to going over it in detail and have some questions. 1) I found that the bolt is apparently not matched to the gun as it has no serial number I have been able to find. Is this going to be a big issue? It...

I just purchased one of the Dunham's No. 4 MK I* Savage Enfields discussed in another thread recently. Mine came with the 300/600 flip type rear sight. Since I don't even know of a range around here with anything more than 200 yds I'd like to get something different. Found this at Sportsman's...

I recently purchased a M95/34. Took me a while to get the bolt open. Knew it ws straight pull but it took two hands to finally break it free. Trying to remove it for cleaning but pulling the trigger doesn't let it come out, it still gets hung up. Any ideas on how I can remove it for cleaning.

As everyone was leaving on July 4th I started putting my "new" C&R purchases that had been removed for the show-and-tell sessions back into the safe. As I grabbed my M1 Carbine I was was once again struck with how ugly the stock finish was. (Not a complaint on the CMP. Did not think it would be...

Just ordered 1000 rds of Golden Tiger 7.62x39 from ammoman.com. The price is $179 delivered. Seemed like a good price compared to what I've been seeing, but probably not as good as everyone will say it was last year. :)Around here this same stuff is selling for $3.99/box and the mil classic just...

I have a Beretta Neos that the trigger stopped working on. I could probably monkey around with it but it is less than a year old so I want to send it in. I have gotten conflicting responses when I have asked about shipping it. I do not have a FFL01, do have a C&R which doesn't apply to this...

Finally decided to get a CZ-52. Found one with the original finish and had it delivered last week. They told me it had a new after-market firing pin and the original grips had been cracked and were replaced with the black "military" ones. Overall it looked in good shape and I was happy with it...

Just got a new Garand from GarandGuy. It is really beautiful and I don't want to mess it up. Also, it is my first Garand so I don't have a lot of experience with it. I've been going through some of the CMP and military reprint manuals and all seem to show cleaning it from the muzzle. I...

Received the following e-mail today from the CMP: ================= This Email acknowledges the receipt of your recent order. We thank you for your order and request you not call nor email to check on the order before the 21 days are up. There is nothing we will be able to tell you...

My C&R finally arrived after 10 weeks. I've got my shopping list ready and thought I had decided on which SKS to get, but just found a new wrinkle. I found a web site with a couple of Albanian SKS's in the $400 range. Is this worth about twice an unissued Yugo, which is what I was going to...
