    Which flash hider for Polish Tantal?

    I got a Bulgarian AR-M1 flash hider(threaded in 24 x 1.5 right) for my Tantal and its way to large in diameter for the gun. Does anyone know how to get this thing on the muzzle? Is there some kind of adapter or another flash hider sold somewhere? Thanks.

    Changing address on Form 4

    I've never had to change my Form 4 address. As I understand it all I have to do is mail a letter to the ATF in Martinsburg, WV telling them when the change will be effective and of course the new address. Is that all?

    Form 1 question

    I searched but couldn't find an answer. If a weapon is on an approved Form 1, and the owner moves to a non-NFA state, what updated address should the F1 have on it--the original address, or the storage facility's(bank safe deposit box) in the NFA state? Has anyone here ever had this problem?

    Global AK prevalence question

    Despite its flaws, the AK platform is the most widely fielded small arm to date. As I understand it, this is mainly due to the Soviets underwriting anyone who professed loyalty to the Communist cause or hatred for the US. Soviet Russia also had no patent system in place, allowing anyone with the...

    Bring Backs

    Obviously, members of the military can't bring back any NFA weapons. But what can they bring back? Handguns? Ammo? Mags? Possibly swords? As of my understanding importing guns or ammo requires a license. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

    The military and M4/M16 question.

    When they show military personnel on the news, I noticed that some have M4s and others carry M16s. How come? If shorter barrels are more useful un urban environments, then why don't they all get M4s?

    Winchester 1300 price check

    I have a 4 year old 1300 28" vent rib barrel with ~300 rounds through it. It has a 2 rd mag extension, but I kept the original packaging and parts. Does anyone have any idea how much its worth?

    Anyone tried "Hotshot" brand ammo?

    I've seen Hotshot ammo for sale every now and then. Its advertised as non corrosive, but since its Romanian, I have reservations. Has anyone tried the stuff? Grouping isn't my main concern, just gunworthiness. Also, is there any way to physically inspect ammo to see if its corrosive before...

    Barrel Ban Question

    Does anyone know if the barrel ban specifies whether or not threaded barrels are affected? As I understand it, threaded muzzles are the"nonsporting" feature that stops a barrel from entering the US. :confused:

    Clearences>Tolerances>Accuracy?

    Something has been bothering me lately. As I understand it clearances are the spaces between moving parts. Tolerance means the amount of variation between parts or between a gun's blueprints and the actual parts. Fine. So, how do loose clearances, and therefore loose tolerances affect...

    How old is the Saiga 12?

    I tried google and couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know how old the S12 is? Late 80's or early 90's would be my best guess. When was the first prototype made? I'm just curious as to the origins of this interesting gun.:confused:

    Do the Russians make a FA Saiga-12?

    Just curious. Have the Russians ever bought into the whole full auto shotgun thing, or is it just type 2 manufacturers with a lot of time on their hands?

    Reciever flat question

    A lot of websites say flats can be shipped anywhere since they're not a firearm. Three states come to mind when I hear "anywhere," CA, NY, and MA. I haven't found any information to the contrary, but does anyone know any laws that prohibit flats, or are they just paper weights as far as the law...

    CA mail order ammo question

    I went to the CA DOJ website and couldn't find an answer. I'm from Sacramento and recall that its illegal to mail order ammo in Sac. County and San Francisco County for sure. But does anyone know about any further regulations concerning mail order ammo? Rifle vs. handgun ammo etc?

    Movies and Selector Switches

    Just curious, has anyone ever seen a movie where someone actually toggles between semiauto and burst/full auto? It seems like they always use them on full-auto only. Until I started getting into guns I always thought machine guns were automatic only. It would be nice if a movie showed guns more...

    Happy Birthday to Mr. Kalashnikov!

    I'm suprised no one else noticed.:D Born 11-10-1919, Mikhail T. Kalashnikov turns 89 today. He outlives Eugene Stoner, who died in 1997 I believe. I'm sure he's proud to have seen the brainchild of a lowly tank seargent reach such heights. Over 80 million made and still going strong. Here's...

    How much shorter would the barrel of a S12 have to be before it affects the gas system? I think mine has a 18'' bbl now.
