    Bullpup kits?

    I got a External Arms BP-12 for $271 shipped (including sales tax) from Mr. Gun. I already have a Keltec KS-7, so I got the pump bullpup covered. I do like the S&W, but it looks like a bunch of cash for a similar gun to what I already have. In fact, I have way too many shotguns, so I really...

    Bullpup kits?

    For the cost of a Bullpup Unlimited stock kit, you can get one of the Turkish 12ga. bullpups. I picked up an Eternal BP-12 for $301 including FFL fees. I need to take it out to the range to truly see if it was worth the money, but out of the box it looks decent enough. Everything I have read...

    New Shotgun to premiere @ Pheonix SAR show

    They really need to put some winged protectors on that scope mount for the Trijicon Reddot. I have a Jpoint on my ACOG that has a winged mount and I am sure it has already saved my sight. I do not baby my guns, mainly because I am ham fisted. JP Enterprise makes a winged mount that fits...

    New Shotgun to premiere @ Pheonix SAR show

    Actually, I think the 'carrying handle' is a scope mount. Something like this is begging to have a red dot on it. I love the design and will buy one as long as the price is reasonable. The SAR show is always awsome. In fact, I just started selling off some safe queens to start my SAR show...

    Hi-cap 308 AK anyone?

    I will definitely be buying some when they arrive. The mags are the only thing keeping me from buying a Saiga-308. At $30-40 for an 8rd for the Saiga made me go out and buy a PTR-91. But with some high cap mags, I'll add a Saiga to my collection as well. I already have a Saiga-20 that I love.

    Best weapon for bike riding.

    I live right at the Edge of the Phoenix Metro area. When I go walking at night after dinner I hear both coyotes howling along with domestic dog barking. I am more worried about domestic dogs & 2 legged creatures. So I carry a pocket pistol (S&W 442 or Keltec P-32), a Surefire flashlight and...

    What kind of optics for a AK?

    I used to have a Ultimak mount with an Aimpoint CompM. I absolutely loved that set up. With the Aimpoint 'low' ring, you can still use the iron sights through the bottom of the Aimpoint. There was no need to raise your head or add a cheek pad to see through the optics as it is on the same...

    HK 53 / MP 5 Clones - Need Opinions

    Be patient, Vector is coming out with a MP-5 clone in .40S&W and 10mm. They may or may not get one in 9mm. I am not sure if they are building them or merely resaling them. But either way there service & warranty is great. So they will back up what they sell, even to the point of paying...

    Which brand of 10/22 hi-cap mags work the best and worst?

    In my personal experience, the old Eagle 30rd mags and Ramline 25rd Trunicator single stack mags work great. Believe it or not, I have never used Butler Creek magazines. They weren't widely available before the '94 ban where I was. After the ban, prices just got crazy. I ended up trading my...

    The One That Got Away

    Here is a sorry story: I sold off my only NFA toy, a Cobray M-11/9, for a down payment on a house listed at $215K. I got the money ready but the deal fell through. The house has since appriciated to $315K in one year. So I am out my M-11/9 and house. Beat that! On the up side, here are...

    Please recommend a DA .22 snubby

    I have been searching for a S&W K-22 for several months. All the ones I have seen have been in the $400-500 range. If they were any cheaper, they were pretty beat up. So I ended up picking up a H&R 929 DA .22 for $75. While it is not nearly as nice as the Smiths, it has a decent trigger and...

    Weapon light for home defense.

    Massad Ayoob did an article years ago on this very subject. He used a weapon mounted light as well as a hand held light with his home defense set up. He said that way he could ID potential threats with the hand held light. Using the method, he wouldn't have to sweep the house (and...

    Saiga 12 Optics Rail

    Lotus, The only thing I will warn you about with AK optics mounted on the side rail is the cheek weld. The optics are mounted pretty high to clear the dust cover. So you need to raise your head 1 1/2" to properly look through the sight. You will need to get a raised cheek rest to really...

    Saiga 12 Optics Rail

    You can mount any AK optic on a Saiga 12 with no problem. The Saiga is a modified AK reciever w/ optic rail, so every thing lines up fine. I have a Kobra, PK-AS and weaver scope mount that fit with no problems. I am able to switch between the Saiga and other AKs with no problem. Because...

    Non-AR15 Type Assault Rifles Options

    Take a look at the AK series of rifles. They are a great value for the money. Accuracy under 100yds is more than acceptable and they are as reliable as a rifle gets. Magazines and ammo are dirt cheap. I have owned half a dozen AKs and I have only had a problem with one magazine that was...

    AARRHHH........ I caved in. Mossberg 500 mods

    I agree with you 100% that a full stocked gun is much quicker for skeet or 99% of defensive shooting. I also believe that for a general purpose defensive arm, you should definitely go with a full stock gun (that is what I got). But in certain, very specialized conditions, a PGO shotgun can be...

    AARRHHH........ I caved in. Mossberg 500 mods

    I think with proper technique and pratice, a pistol gripped shotgun can be very useful in a confined area. I think the problem with pistol gripped shotguns is that most people use the wrong technique and don't practice with it. Plus it has pretty harsh recoil that with much shooting, will...
