    Can't decide what to get

    So my spouse gave me the go ahead for a new gun purchase finally, just not sure what I want. Budget $1200ish I have two romy ak kits that are awaiting being built. I have an AR and an AR lower. I was thinking of either a krinkov kit, or going with a .308 semi. Most likely the M1a...

    Where to buy an AK kit?

    The supply of romy G ak kits is drying up. Does anyone know where I can pick up some good matching number kits for less than $150 right now?

    glock 21 SF, or springfield xd, 5" both 45 ACP

    Glock has the better track record and gets my vote.

    Why are berettas mocked so often?

    Kinda off-topic here. But how to the civvy Taurus copies hold up? Might be able to score one cheap. Never had any issues with the m9 when I was in the service. The mags were horrid, and supply was pretty scarce.

    Good deal for Mauser?

    I'm second guessing this one already after doing more reading. Thinking about going the original route and not the bubba route.

    Good deal for Mauser?

    Got some spare cash laying around and wanted a toy. Found this, http://phoenix.backpage.com/SportsEquipForSale/_175_mauser_24_47_cal_8x57/classifieds/ViewAd?oid=1827684 I got the guy to go down to 150 for it. I don't really care about the sporterizing as I wanted to put a scope onto it...

    Iraq - snipers are for real

    The weapons are either destroyed or re-issued to the Iraqi forces. Ditto on the unit being allowed to return with de-milled weapons.

    Best lightweight commander-size 1911?

    I shot the Champion earlier today. Actually did a little head to head comparo with another 1911 I just picked up. The other gun was a Colt Commander with every add on possible. Hand fitted beavertail, hammer, sear, CMC trigger, novak sights, FLGR, ramp and throat job, everything. A real...

    Best lightweight commander-size 1911?

    I just picked up a Springfield Champion alloy frame bushingless 4" gun. It's the no frills GI model. Got it used for about $375. Haven't shot it yet (that's on Sunday), but it handles nicely.

    Low-price AR-15 Lower Round-up

    That stag price has to be stripped. I can get dealer prices onsome stuff, and I've never seen a complete one that cheap. Figure $60 bucks on top of that for a complete lower minus a stock.

    Low-price AR-15 Lower Round-up

    I just picked up a DPMS shipped for $100 total. Just as good of quality as anyother lower IMO. Wasn't worth the extra 50 bucks for the bushmaster. It did take a while for it to arrive though.

    What's wrong w/Cross-Draw?

    They have their purpose, as do "jack-ass rigs" (shoulder harness). They are harder to deploy especially when the BG is within arms length. If you take any classes on defensive tactics and stuff they strongly discourage cross draw, jack-ass rigs, or mexican carry. Strong side holsters are...

    Accidental discharge?

    Never, not once. There is nothing accidental about it, it's effin' negligent. That's what I told my soldiers (former Drill Sergeant), and that's what I tell everyone else. If it's mechanical it's a deadlined firearm. Not your fault, and hopefully the muzzle was pointed in a safe direction...

    I Really Don't Want to Bubba my 1911, but...

    Choice #6. Install a six inch 9mm barrel with a compensator, grind some louvers in the slide and etch some flames on it. Then chrome it. No nickel......chrome. Install some leopard skin grips and a 30 round magazine. Post pictures of you pistol at Glock Talk, and bask in the adulation you...

    I Really Don't Want to Bubba my 1911, but...

    What about just getting a Rock Island .45 for under 400 bucks as a shooter? Throw the old one in the safe till you get the inclination to restore it.

    Hi Point info

    The only reason why I would pick one up is a car gun. If for some reason my car gets broken into, I'm only out 120 bucks instead of $500+.

    The ramblings and progression of a novice, moving up in the ranks

    I own a G19, a G30, and a 4" 1911. The G30 is a bit thick, but I love shooting it and it's a great gun. As long as you don't think you'll have problems concealing it since it's a little chubby, it's my favorite carry piece.

    3" vs 4" Barrel Compact 1911

    Yes it was ahead of the extractor. They were hydroshock low recoil 165 grain hollowpoints. I should have stated this in my previous post.
