Seen in a discussion on Forgottenweapons.com...nobody can identify it, and many have tried. A one-off deal? Some obscure prototype? A franken-rifle bastardized from random parts? It's being used by Brazilian police, aparrently. Original discussion here.....

The whole gun debate has been utterly poisoned by the use of the term "assault weapon". An invented, fictitious, and totally loaded term, which, as soon as it is used - either deliberately, by antis, or inadvertently by people who have just heard it repeated over and over and don't understand...

The use of the term "assault weapon" seems to have multiplied by orders of magnitude in the past month. It seems like the media has taken this term and run with it like never before, possibly even more than they did when the first AWB was passed and when it expired. This fictitious term, created...

10 days ago I ordered a CETME 30-round magazine for my Greek HK91. I ordered it from Florida Gun Works. Little did I know that this company had a horrific reputation for not delivering items, for not communicating, and in some cases was accused of outright credit card fraud. Horrified, I...

Florida Gun Works is selling 30-round CETME mags, expensive but a unique item. Will these things fit an HK91? I am under the impression that CETME magazines will work in an HK91, though the obverse might not be true. Correct? Anyone have any experience with CETME or HK91/G3 30-round mags?

On the left - what is that thing? Anyone know?

I just saw Defiance starring Daniel Craig, which is the story of the Bielski brothers who formed a partisan group in Belorussia against the Nazis and saved hundreds of Jews. The film has a LOT of eye candy for lovers of WWII era firearms, especially Mosins (of which nearly every character in the...

This quote in the thread about "Red Dawn" reminded me of another great pro-gun "SHTF" movie: The Postman. That movie, in my opinion, is even better than Red Dawn, but it was universally panned by critics and it received none of the cult following that Red Dawn did. Part of it is due to the...

(CNN) -- President-elect Barack Obama announced Monday that the first task of the civilian national-security force that he has proposed creating - which he claimed in a July, 2008 speech would be "as well-funded" as the military - will be to forcibly secure America's southern border with Mexico...

How many remaining Garands are in the CMP's warehouse? At what point will they be completely sold-out and unable to offer any more surplus Garands? I've always wondered about this. Just how deep are the stocks of these old rifles? Roughly how many do they still have left?

Okay, this is really not gun-related but I don't have any other way of finding out the answer so I figured I would ask the question here. The CNN homepage has coverage of the fighting in Gaza and photos from the conflict. What are the guys wearing on their heads in this picture? I have NEVER...

Well, there is a really ridiculous article in "The Nation" called "Katrina's Hidden Race War." Some great quotes: "Facing an influx of refugees, the residents of Algiers Point could have pulled together food, water and medical supplies for the flood victims. Instead, a group of white...

I have a chance to get a Howa AR-180 for 800. The thing is a little worn aesthetically but I inspected it and functionally there are no problems. It's a very light and easy to handle rifle and felt great in my hands. The price seemed lower than that of most other AR-180s for sale online. Is this...

I'm not ashamed to say it - I can't stand the way rails look. I hate the lego-block appearance of them. I'm not talking about the dovetail rails without the ridge things that are on Picatinny rails (why can't they just use those? why do they NEED those ridge things on the rail?) The pattern of...

I just realized something: I don't think that prices of ARs and AKs and other evil weapons is EVER going to go down as long as Obama is president-elect or, eventually, president. Why? Simple - because as long as he's in office, and as long as both houses are Democrat controlled, and as long as...

I just watched "Gran Torino." Like most of Eastwood's recent movies, it was depressing and demoralizing. But I did notice that at least one of the gangsters in it had a fully-automatic Uzi submachine gun. Now, I realize that full-auto weapons are hardly ever used by real-life gangsters, but...

One of the biggest mistakes that I see on this forum is people saying the following, or some variation thereof, with regard to some anti-gun message in a film or television show: "It's just a movie, so it doesn't matter." I touched on this same issue, although in a different way, in the...

I'm thinking of getting a Henry lever-action .22 as a gift for my dad. They have it in stock at Bud's Gun Shop for $252 including shipping. That sounds like a good deal. It sure looks nice, at any rate. Is this a good rifle? Anyone have one?

I was listening to an interview with Henry Rollins and here is what he had to say on guns: "Well, I think you should have a gun in your house if you want to defend your family. I don't think any family - you or me - needs an assault weapon. If I was a policeman in your town, and I know I'm...

There are two rifles online that I've noticed at what seems like a decent price. One is a Mauser-action sporter in .30-06. It is around $400. It's by "Firearms International." The other is a sporterized Springfield 1903 and it is $295 which seems a good price to me. The only downside of it is...
