    Bohemus, I don't care much for the supercompact, but the compact is sure pretty.

    VZ.58 Club:

    My muzzle brake was permanently attached by WaffenWerks (who apparently also replaced the front sight to include a bayonet lug) so I don't know how hard it would be to do the job oneself. I haven't had a chance to shoot my new VZ58 yet, so I can't remark on the muzzle flash impact. I...

    VZ.58 Club:

    Pictures for my membership My D-Technik VZ58 from WaffenWerks. I figure that she's elegant enough for a picture with my wife's great-grandmother's hand-embroidered piano bench.

    VZ.58 Club:

    Can I join the club? I just purchased a D-Technik VZ-58 through Waffen Werks. I'll post pictures after I get a chance to take some and upload them.

    M1 Carbine

    Apparently hollow points are the way to go if a person desires to use the M1 Carbine as a home defense firearm. Effective results while a good way to avoid overpenetration issues.

    M1 Carbine

    Hey Maverick223, The .30 M1 Carbine never had issues penetrating thick clothing, nor thick and frozen clothing. Not in Korea nor before. If someone told you that, chances are they simply couldn't hit what they were aiming at. ;) http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot36.htm

    how to not scream AMERICAN in a foreign country

    I've noticed that several posters mentioned smiling as something not to do. Why should a person avoid smiling? Is it considered rude in European countries? I lived in Venezuela for 23 months. Spent most of my time in middle to lower class neighborhoods, and in some cases in absolute slums...

    Lever action .22

    I too would recommend saving up for the Marlin model 39 if possible.

    is bed liner on a stock too rough?

    A while back I purchased an AK buttstock that had been sprayed with bedliner. It does have a little texture but nothing rough at all. I actually like how it turned out. My guess is that the type of bedliner you spray on the stock makes a difference in how rough it is.

    Another Dog Shot... Since we have been discussing this...

    I live in Spanish Fork, several miles south of Orem I posted about this in the other thread about attacking pitbulls, but in summary I almost had the same experience, except that in my case the 1/2 pitbull mix went after my little girls first, and then decided to take me on when I got in its...

    Why I will not hesitate to shoot a charging dog

    I was recently subpeonaed to testify against a dog owner in my neighborhood. She had a half pitbull, half foxterrier mix. Yes, I know that it really was half pit. I know the owners of the dogs that bred this one. This particular dog owner has a habit of leaving her dogs out front...

    If you misplaced your driver's license, would you use your CCW as a form of ID?

    One time at a local emergency preparedness store they asked for photo ID when I gave them my credit card. I reached into my wallet to pull out my drivers license and accidently grabbed the concealed carry license (the color markings are similar). I didn't even realize that I'd handed her the...

    Extended shooting restrictions in Utah County, Utah.

    I've a strong hunch that at least 90% of these "fires started by bullets" stories are actually fires started by smokers or fires started because somebody was playing with fireworks. Sherriff Tracy tried starting a fire shooting all sorts of .223, .308, and 7.62x39 rounds into boxes full of...

    What to watch for in "Enemy at the Gates"?

    Interestingly, the actual sniper Zaitsev the movie is based on actually did have a female sniper love interest. She is credited with killing a number of Germans. She referred to Germans as "sticks" that needed to be broken. In real life she was also blond. When Zaitsev himself was injured...

    Why are Saiga firearms so cheap are the guns terrible or just because they're Russian

    In simplist terms, the Saiga is just a "sporterized" AK. If someone sold an AR15 without a pistol grip or flash suppressor, everyone would still call it an AR15. It's imported as a "Saiga", and lacks a few hot-topic features in order to get around import barriers. That's what it all boils...

    Question about 'big brother'

    This reminds me...who else here remembers the MATRIX database that was being put together a few years ago by the Federal Government? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multistate_Anti-Terrorism_Information_Exchange The governor of my State at the time, Mike Leavitt, signed us up for it without...

    foiled twice by my Saiga :)

    Cost: Depends on your location. In some parts of the country you might find one, new, for as inexpensive as $250. In other places the price might go as high as $300. It should stay within that range, though. I love my Saiga .223. I have the parts count correct and installed the bullet...
