    Long fingers- need advice

    Try any compact or full frame glock. Most people with *cough* average hands don't like them. I have rather large hands too and for some bizaare reason they fit me perfectly. I tend to dislike handguns with a long trigger pull and you shouldn't have that issue with glocks. The way I see it the...

    What gun companies haven't "sold out?"

    Barret is certainly a company that never 'sold out.' A few years back, didn't they decide not to sell to California LE because the state law would not allow lowly civilians to purchase any 50 cal centerfire rifles? Kudos to them for that.

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Any of the newer 16 inch barrelled Thompsons. I mean, what's the point in shooting 45 acp through such a long barrel, not to mention the ridiculous prices on them. Otherwise, I would never refuse to buy any gun simply based on 'how it looks' or being a 'plastic gun' or whatever. If it...

    Totally puzzled a gun store owner

    Any handgun too small for my hand. Apparently I've got gorilla-sized hands because Glocks fit perfectly, whereas most single stack handguns feel tiny. Most snub nose revolver handles fit into half my palm, making shooting them unpleasant. At least I have a rational reason. Irrational...

    Trouble finding bulgarian 5.45 bolt head

    Re: Dogsoldier The site does list an ak 74/aks bolt assembly for sale. I'll have to give them a call and see what type it is. Thanks.

    Trouble finding bulgarian 5.45 bolt head

    Thanks for the advice. So I gather that unless I find a part that is specifically labeled '5.45 Romanian AK bolt head' then it's not going to fit. Well, next time I'll make sure to get an AK where spare parts for it are actually available.

    Trouble finding bulgarian 5.45 bolt head

    A few years back I made an unfortunate decision to buy a century arms 5.45 WASR 2 rifle. It came with an issue or three. To make a long story short I am in need of a new bolt head for the rifle and for the life of me can't find one. Sites like k-var sell the russian ak 74 bolts, but they...

    What Countries does your collection represent?

    Croatia, Brazil, Belgium, Czech Republic, Romania, Russia and good ol' USA. I guess I'm diversified enough.

    1 (possibly 2) Stripped Lower receiver for an AR-15 4 or more 30 round AR magazines. If I had the money I'd also get 10,000 rounds of 7.62X39.

    Gettin Scared...

    I'm actually considering getting a lower receiver for an AR, which I plan to build eventually. If there is an AW ban, are we to expect things like uppers for the AR to be banned as well? I know this is panic buying but what sorts of components should we worry about buying now and which ones can...

    The one that got away

    About five or so years ago when I wasn't quite into guns yet but interested. I was at a gun show just to check it out and they had a bunch of Saigas in 308 and 7.62x39. These were the original sporter models but they were only $199.99 (!). If I only knew then, I would've bought 2 or 3 :banghead:

    Big hands.....small autoloaders.

    I've had the same problem about having large hands for small handguns. With 1911s, for instance I wind up having to really hook my trigger finger so as to actually use the tip and not the first knuckle because my hand wraps to much around the single stack grip. Whatever you get, I would...

    Interesting discussion with EAA Tech service..have a laugh..

    Well thats certainly an interesting conversation... I'll keep that in mind if I ever consider a Witness 10mm in the future (that not being likely). If you want an autoloader in 10mm there's always the 1911 route. As I recall Kimber and Dan Wesson make some great examples. They'll definitely be...

    taurus 1911

    Mine's been very reliable and has a great trigger. The bluing is coming off quite a bit in a few places but I never bought it for a 1911 beauty pageant anyway :rolleyes:

    FN Five-seveN Why aren't we all carrying one?

    If I wanted to carry a large ugly handgun that fires ammo designed to penetrate body armor I'll take the CZ-52 any day of the week thank you very much. At least that handgun is cheap and doesn't look like something out of a sci fi video game. Tokarev, the original 5.7.

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    small handguns=bad -Any single stack auto loading pistol (other than a 1911.) I've got gorilla hands that make it awkward to hold and shoot anything small (like a Makarov, bersa, most walthers). It just feels like I'm holding a small but loud toy. -any snub nose revolvers (same reasons as...

    New High Standard 1911's

    A friend of mine owned a High Standard 1911 for about fifteen months. It had been a nice and reliable handgun until it went 'fully automatic' on him a few months back. He's pretty competent with firearms and always took good care of it up to that point. If you're going to get one I'd get a...

    Where is the love for AK-47's?

    AKs don't need advertising to sell. Its about as necessary as a crack dealer hiring a marketing firm. The news media's coverage and world history does it for us. There's always that 'coolness factor,' especially with the younger crowd. You'll never hear anybody saying: 'Man, what are we...

    Gun tattoos

    "Thus Always to Tyrants" I'm thinking of getting a tatoo of that someday. Ya gotta admit thats a pretty badass motto for my state. I'll probably change the image so that the person is holding a rifle in one hand. Bad taste? Ah well its my skin.
