    AIM Surplus Received a Shipment of Chinese SKS's.....

    While they may be "$100 rifles" to you, their rel world value nowadays is considerably higher than that. I'm sure 1906 Springfields and 6.5x55 Swedish Mausers were nothing but "$25 dollar rifles" to some certain folks at one time too....but time changes things considerably, and one's imagined...

    Brace or stock?

    Hell,I have my own private range, and I don't like wasting the time I spend there reloading magazines. Range time, free or paid, is for shooting:)

    Brace or stock?

    When you state your opinion as though it IS fact, you can expect others that disagree to state as much. You can argue the reason you THINK "most people" own hgih capacity mags, but stating your opinion as fact invites debate, does it not? Its ok to have an opinion, no one is arguing that. But...

    Brace or stock?

    Wow.....not even close. I own dozens of Glock mags, 15 round and above. Dozens of 30 round AR mags, too. Know why I buy the 15 and 30 rounders? Because they're STANDARD capacity in the free world, they're the most commonly produced/available, and they're cheap. It doesn't have a damn thing...

    Brace or stock?

    I bought an AR pistol one day on a whim....I didn't NEED it, and I certainly didn't HAVE to put a brace on it either.....but I did. Its more or less a range toy, something to have fun with, and nothing I had even a remote interest in registering it as an SBR. I have it because I can, and...

    The gun for me

    Personal opinion.....do some actual hunting before even talking about 500 yard shots. The plains don't get much more open than South Dakota, where I've done all my hunting, and I don't know thaat I've ever found it necessary to shoot even 300 yards to get my deer, and I've gotten a buck every...

    Glock 19 holster for multiple styles of carry

    Im looking for a decent, but somewhat affordable holster for my glock 19. I currently have a kydex IWB holster that works well enough for ccw, but would like a holster that could be used both IWB and OWB, and at various cants. Does such creature exist? Am I asking too much? edit--Upon...

    22 Savage Hi-Power Loads?

    While that might very well be true, I wouldn't put much faith in the cartridge as an elk killer. My grandpa was a great shot, and fed his family many a meal of venison. That said, he upgraded to a 721 in .270 for his deer hunting needs, finding that the .22 hi-power AKA5.6×52mmR was a...

    tried something new today in my new marlin model 60 has anyone tried this in their model 60 marlin

    I've never found a reason to shoot .22 longs, even in guns that specifically state they can be used. They are less powerful, yet considerably more expensive and uncommon than .22LR. Other than guns chambered ONLY for the round, I honestly can't see why its still manufactured, when I bet .22LR...

    A thousand guns?

    Lots of .22 handguns sold with mock silencers these days that are totally non-functional. Ar-15 pistols are commonplace in places other than Cali. Thompsons have been made in semi-auto variants. Can you distinguish between something like a Mossberg Shockwave and a "sawed off shotgun" from...

    I picked up an SKS today

    I think it was 1991, and I paid $110 for a new in the cosmoline Norinco SKS, the first gun I actually bought, at the age of 13.....loved the rifle, but hated the stock....put an aftermarket stock on it that fit me better, and still have it today. Im lucky in the fact my trigger seems nicer than...

    CPX2 Catridges

    I started using the 6.5 Creedmoor this season. I'm 41, and have hunted deer primarily with a 7mm Mag since my late teens. It never failed to do what I asked of it, and I'll never part with it, but just got to be a bit much....hauling it around all day got a bit old as it weighs a good bit with...

    Purchase delayed

    It just happens, no real rhyme or reason as to why usually. I've gotten denied the day after renewing my CCW permit, which also runs a NCIS check.

    .22 ammo cheap

    My heavy barrel 10/22 routinely rips the bullseye into a ragged hole using Fed bulk pack, and they seem to kill prairie dogs pretty well too :) ymmv

    Rules for teen gun ownership

    My experience is different than many here, but I'll share it nonetheless. I started shooting "real" guns at age ten. at 12, I was given a .22 rifle, at 14 a 12 gauge, and by 15, the family gun cabinet was replaced, with the new one mounted to my wall maybe two feet from my bed. I was raised...

    Ukraines New AR-47

    And why on earth would this make even the tiniest amount of sense, considering the familiarity with and vast stockpiles of 7.62x39 ammo? When was the last time you saw .300 BI ammo in steel cases for pennies a pop? How many other units would they share a common ammo with if they chose the...
