Well, I think it's settled, and not how I expected, either. I finally was persuaded to get the 7.62 in 16". But, when I called my dealer, she was out of 16" models, but she had one 20.5" instead (she cannot get the .223 at all, she says). Funny, when I called 2 weeks earlier, she had a bunch...

Looks like that guy's Saiga-12 has a pistol grip, too. Cool. Also banned currently, I presume?

Oooo that Saiga-12 looks cool ... much better than the picture in the CDNN catalog for some reason. I still want the rifle for now, but a shottie was next on my list, and that may be the one. Heck, for about the price of a single SAR, I can get both!

Target shooting and the theoretical SHTF scenario. For the latter, I want to be able to reach out to the end of my neighborhood block to catch the zombies coming around the corner. I don't hunt, so that's not an issue. Own (or owned): 9x18, 9mm para, .40 S&W handguns, all for CCW...

I am getting a Saiga very soon. I'm slightly torn about which caliber and barrel length to get. It needs to be either .223 or 7.62 because I want to be able to afford the ammo. It also needs to be accurate "enough", which means good for plinking at 100+ yards. I'd also like it to be something I...

I carried in an Uncle Mike's Belly Band for a While ... the one with the attachable holster, as metioned by another poster above. Pros: 1) Very versatile. I could wear high or low, strong or weak. I normally wore it right over my solar plexus, weak side in about the same orientation one...

Bulgarian Makarov My first handgun was a Bulgarian Makarov. Inexpensive, reliable, and built like a tank. Ammo is cheap too, and while you can't get it at Wal-Mart, it's readily available online, at gun shows, and at most gun stores. As for its operation, it is accurate and handles easily...

Makarov ($160 NIB a little over a year ago) Steyr S-40 ($299 +tax and shipping from CDNN last November) Both are terrific guns.

New York Style Carry I carry a compact semi-auto (Steyr S-40) in an IWB holster just forward of my right front pocket, and to the right of my midsection, under an untucked shirt (the holster is tuckable but I normally don't). I'm told this is called "New York Style" carry. Whatever. Anyway, for...

I've been carrying daily for about a year now. Reasons that I would give to such a question include: 1) My second cousin was murdered by being beaten to death with a baseball bat by a drunk a-hole who didn't like the way he spoke to his girlfriend. My cousin was not being confrontational or...

Just got my first Mosin-Nagant today. It's an M38 from Aztec. I'm really happy with it, and can't wait to shoot it. The base price was $50, and I paid an extra $10 for an original M38 (i.e. not M44) stock. Shipping was $10 on top of that. Overall, this was an excellent deal, IMO. I don't have...

I hope this isn't too OT, but I found this really interesting. I just started playing the computer game, Battlefield Vietnam. The VC players can use a MN 91/30 Sniper rifle, and a type 59 SKS. The guns are pretty realistic to my layman's eyes, and the reloading animations are neat. The SKS...

Winchester SP 7.62x54 That's cool. Does Wal-Mart carry it by any chance? That's where I get my .40S&W and 9mm, but I have my doubts about this "foreign" caliber. How about online? Thanks!

Well it's only no FMJ for rifles. Pistols are low-powered enough, and the pistol range is well bermed, so ricochets - if they happen at all - are contained. It's a good range in all respects, except for that one policy. Ah well, I'll either pay more for ammo, or find another range for rifles...

Aztec for M38 and M44 For what it's worth, two buddies and I each picked up an M38 from Aztec for $49 + S&H. I paid an extra $10 to get the M38 stock - i.e. no bayonet groove (many M38s were made having M44 stocks later in their manufacturing cycle, I believe). Here's a link...

I just ordered a Mosin-Nagant M38 (weee!), and I need to order ammo also. I'd like to get some of the surplus stuff because it's cheap and, well that's what the gun was built to eat. My range has a "no FMJ" policy for rifles because there are homes nearby and they say there is a risk of...

Thanks all for the excellent feedback and suggestions! I really appreciate it. Maybe one day I, too, will have knowledge and experience to share. Cheers!

I'm on a budget. Story of my life. I want an AK-style rifle for target shooting, the hypothetical social situation, and the even more hypothetical SHTF scenario (zombies, JBTs, etc.). Oh, and to add my name to the list of people whose cold, dead, fingers they'll have to pry from the millions...

Has anybody done any business with Shooter's Wholesale, listed on http://www.gunsamerica.com? They have a few SAR-1's for sale at seemingly fair prices. I'd like to know if anyone has had good/bad purchasing experiences with them. Thanks in advance!
