    Sig P6 question...

    As you know there have been a load of ex-German Police P6's dumped onto the market over the last few years. I bought one a little while ago and was wondering why some had their grips and apparently other pistol parts painted red and/or blue. Any ideas? This was clearly done at source (in...

    Is it possible to convert a Yugo M76 (8x57IS) to 6.5mm Swedish?

    Howdo all, I'll put this one out there, more for academic discussion than anything else. I have a Yugo M76, a nice semi-auto 'sniper' rifle, for informal target shooting. As many of you know it fires the 8mm Mauser (8x57mm IS). While this is a good round I've always liked the 6.5x55mm Swedish...

    Howdo all, I've tried contacting SIG (US and Germany) but am having trouble so hence this post. I have a 1997 SIG P228 which has had damage to the trigger guard. I aim to TIG weld it but sadly the aluminium is propriety and therefore I have no idea if the aluminium alloy is the type that is...

    What makes a Kalashnikov less accurate than its western counterparts?

    Howdo, This is more of a satisfy-my-curiosity thread than anything else. It is generally well known that Kalshnikovs (and I include AK-47, AKM, and AK-74's) are less accurate than their western counterparts, e.g., M16, SA80, SIG550, etc. This of course does not mean that the Kalashnikov...

    Any manuals available for the SIG 530 and 540 assault rifles?

    Hi all, I've looked high and low for manuals (including armourer's) on SIG's 530 and 540 series of assault rifles but have come up with a blank, at least with the internet. PDF manuals of the 550 series are available but seemingly not for the earlier guns. Does anybody know where I can lay my...

    Any reliability problems with the Sphinx AT series?

    Howdo all, I have my eye on a used Sphinx AT 2000PS but I've heard that there have been a few reliability problems with all or certain models - cracked slides, wear caused by the barrel lug, and apparent use of soft materials resulting in general wear. I've only heard about these third-hand...
