    Whatever happened to USA Army Surplus?

    I was born in the early 70's. I remember the ads in the comic books about cheap jeeps, parachutes.. you name it..... It would have a young boy rather dreamy about all that cool stuff. Whatever happened to that? Take the .45. Seems I remember when the Beretta 9mm was the favored choice and the...

    Mosin: A thought on accurizing

    In the recent buying frenzy on arms, I thought I should pick up another one. Stumbled onto a Mosin at a pawn shop. No import marks to speak of. It's a 36 Izhevsk with a round receiver. Finish is worn off and the stock is fairly scarred up but certainly serviceable. The bore looked great and I...

    Gun Shows, looking for tips on buying, trading and selling.

    I don't have an FFL, just a Mississippi resident. We have a gun show in Tupelo this weekend. My budget for acquisition is $300.00. I also have an SKS I could trade or sell, it's a Norinco arsenal 26 that I have $200 in, I don't know what a good asking price would be. Any thoughts? Also I...

    Need some advice on a Nagant barrel cut down and it's ballistic impact.

    I have got a Mosin Nagant 91/30 I am turning into a scout rifle project. The present length of the barrel is 28.75 inches from the bolt face to the end. Part of the project is to get the overall length of the gun to 1 meter or less. To get it to the requirement I will have to trim...

    Tricking out an SKS. What are some practical suggestions?

    Picked up a Norinco SKS the other day. It was $200, had a bright bore and was mechanically sound, though I did have to put a bit of time into removing the cosmoline. My impetus to purchase one, was my discovery of a 160 rds. of ammo I had from a previous one that I owned.... Not that I need...

    Tokarev TT3 or Polish P64

    I recently gave up my Bersa .380 to my Mother in Law. It was my glove box gun. But something came up around her place and she felt like she needed something around the place... I have been keeping my .22 revolver in the glove box for lack of anything else. I can pickup either pistol for what I...

    Biggest Bang for the Buck. A "what if" thread.

    Here is the hypothetical scenario. All you can budget for a makeshift arsenal for you and your family is $750.00 total. This budget does include your ammunition cost. What do you think the best choices would be for the money? *In regards to pricing... You can certainly use "I got a good...

    The 8mm verses other rounds for a bolt action. Mauser questions.

    I have heard of people getting Mausers and "rechambering" (dunno if that is the right word) them for other rounds. Perhaps this is simply for preference sake. I read this article. http://www.chuckhawks.com/forgotten_8x57.htm The thing I noticed was most in the article was this. To me...

    18 inch "home" modified barrel on a Mossberg 500

    Picked up a Mossberg 500 12 guage at a pawn shop for $100. It looks to be the same basic model sold at Walmart. Guns a little scuffed here and there, miniscule rusty spots... but in great working order. I bought for home defense and have cut the barrel from 26 inches to 18 5/8. No choke, to...

    The Glock G17 9mm

    I am looking at purchasing a used Glock G17 for my 'glove box' gun. It appears to be in very good condition. It will be replacing an old Taurus .38 I have. I have never owned a Glock, and only fired one once. It was several years back. What do you think of it in regards to accuracy...
