    Is there a reason to avoid the Rem 700 SPS ?

    There is a new-in-box Remington 700 SPS for sale locally for $450 cash. It's brand new, never opened, never fired, all warranty cards and paper work are there. I've wanted a .308 bolt gun to build up for the longest time, and I missed out on the FN PBR's that had been on sale at CDNN. Is...

    For a 308 SA Rifle: Is a Bausch & Lomb Elite better or worse than Bushnell Elite ?

    I tried out an older Bausch and Lomb scope about two weeks ago- it was an Japanese-made B&L Elite 4000. I've also tried Bushnell Elite's and their optics don't seem to be as good, despite being far newer. I'm not really up on scopes, so I'm wondering if what I experienced is normal or just...

    Fair price for a 2.5-10x40 Bausch & Laumb Elite 4000 ?

    I found a NIB B&L Elite 4000 2.5-10x40mm that is Made In Japan. It has everything with it, box, paperwork, warranty card(guess that's useless now), and the set of lens caps. I really like this scope, and I was wondering what would be considered a fair price ? Is $200 really high ? Thank you.

    I'd like to buy two cheap laser sights, one for a Bersa Thunder .40 and the other for a Smith and Wesson Model 39 9mm. My mom and dad are getting older and they have a hard time with iron sights on a handgun. I have a laser on a P22 and they found that they really, really liked the laser...

    Cheapest Dedicated .22LR AR15 Upper Assembly ?

    Who offers the cheapest .22LR AR-15 Upper Assembly ? I built an AR-10 for my dad, and he decided he wanted something with less kick to familiarize himself with the AR platform. He's had a couple of major surgeries, so him putting up with extended periods of .308W recoil isn't practical. I...

    Need suggestions on how to take pictures of barrel bores with a digital camera ?

    I have cheap, $100 FujiFilm FinePix Z5 that I take all my pictures with. I have trade taking my guns out into daylight to take pictures of their barrel bores, and that doesn't work- it just comes out overbright and no detail or definition. I've tried flash and no flash. I've tried...

    Best AK for $650 or less, Saiga-->AK or Roma, Yugo, Bulgar, Chicom ?

    I had someone at work ask me what would be the best AK-47 to buy for under $650 in 7.62x39mm . The guy had planned to buy a Saiga and convert it to AK-47 magazines, stock, and pistol grip. To me that seemed a bit backwards and costly, but I stayed out of it. Apparently after finding out...

    One piece stock for Browning BAR hunting rifle or higher cap mags ?

    About 7 years ago, I saw a Browning BAR Mk I semi auto hunting rifle that had a synthetic one piece stock. It was a large stock, make no mistake. It fit around the side of the receiver and was slotted for the charging handle. The bottom of the stock was open for the magazine port, as well. I...

    For a while there, Armalite had some of the Eagle Arms complete uppers with barrel for around $575. I saw that they still list them on the website, but unlike the other more expensive receivers- they have instructions to CALL. I tried calling a few times on Thursday and Friday, and I always...

    Complete Parts List for M1A Build ? AR10 ? FAL ?

    I know that it is almost certain that purchasing a complete rifle is cheaper than buying parts and building one. I'm not looking to save money by building a rifle part by part, I just want to stretch the cost out over time, and have some say in the quality of the parts I select. So, does...

    What does owning a 10mm caliber offer to the .45 ACP owner ?

    I've always really liked the 10mm caliber, since the Bren Ten caught my interest as a young man. For a very brief period, I owned a hybrid Bren/CZ custom that a gunsmith in Virginia had built from CZ 75, Peregrine, and Bren parts. When the gun shot, it was a pleasure, but because it was a...

    Can a 10mm SA be modified to shoot .40 S&W ?

    I really like 10mm guns, but they're still really impractical for me to own because the price of 10mm ammunition remains so high. I taken a look at a Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm and I really liked everything about it. I had made up my mind to buy it, but looking at 10mm ammo prices put a quietus...
