On one of my FB classified pages a guy wants to trade his Vz 58 for an AR. Before I go through with it I am obviously doing my research. I asked the gentleman if it is a Czech made Vz 58 (czechpoint/dtechnik) or a CAI Vz 2008. He said it was Czech made and that the magazines are surplus. I...

I woke up to a pleasant knock on the door this morning. I knew it was FedEx so I rushed to put a shirt on and answer. The driver had a large box, a similar shape of other boxes I have had before. What could it be? My first M1 Garand from the CMP. It's an HRA Service Grade. Muzzle...

I was at the Fort Boise gun show today and the Full Auto Collector's table had a French Hotchkiss Universal SMG on display. It really impressed me with it's folding stock and extending barrel. Reminds me of something kind of similar to some Kel-Tec features. I was wondering if anyone here...

I was wondering about the "mil-specness" of the DPMS lower parts kits. My current Franken AR (BCM midlength, magpul and various furniture on a SI Defense lower) I want to be as rugged and durable as possible. No, I do not plan to use this for zombies nor am I an operator. However, I will for...

Hello all, The other day when I was at my LGS I put a used parkerized Springfield Mil-Spec on layaway. I asked why because it was used that it had a slightly higher price tag than the new one. The salesman said it had a trigger job done on it. The trigger was very nice compared to the...

Less than an hour ago I picked out and took home my first Swiss K-31. Mandatory pics: As you should be able to see in the pics, I think the stock was refinished. I took the buttplate off and to my disappointment there was no issue card. Just some serial numbers or something...

Recently, I have taken in a new protege in the world of shooting. Whenever he wants a new gun or has a question about something, he comes to me. Lately, he has been bugging me about buying a "sniper" rifle. He said he wanted to get a Mosin Nagant 91/30. So, I said okay. Then he told me he...

As the title says, I had to draw my CCW for the first time this evening. I was walking my bloodhound puppy (7 months so pretty big) through the park this evening and was almost home when the dog and I got rushed by a pair of pit bulls. At first I thought I would give them the benefit of...

I have never really been a huge fan of revolvers, I have always liked semi-autos better. I got my CCW permit awhile back and have been trying out a few different pistols. I was pretty much set on a "Pocket 9" and narrowed that down to a Kahr CW9. One day when I felt it was time to go ahead...

Hmm... what could be in the box? Oh my! Angle pic. Picked up this new Colt SAA 5.5'' bbl .45 Colt at Cabela's today. I have been looking for this exact finish, size and caliber for awhile. I have come close a few times but none of the others were "right." I was surprised...

I handled several handguns that my local Sportsman's Warehouse had in stock. The first was the Walther PPS. I saw this gun recently and I liked the look of it. However, I hated how it felt in my hand and the trigger was awful. Unfortunate because it was the best looking pistol IMHO. It's...

Was doing a lot of research on 1911's. Narrowed my brands between Colt and Springfield, even though I would like an Ed Brown, but I don't have the budget for that right now. Blued Colt 1911 Series 70 There is barely any play between the slide and frame. This model...

I turn 21 in a month, and I saw that Cabela's was having a sale on a gun that I really wanted. A CZ 75 B SS. Paid half of it off, going back in a month to pick up this bad boy. Did I make a good first choice? I know I did, but what say you?

Today I was looking at 1911's at a local gun store. I immediately looked over the Springfield's since that seems to be the best overall for me. However, the salesman said I should look at the Remington R1, I said sure (even though I do not like new Remington stuff, plus the R1 is...

I am in the market for some new/better shooting glasses. Pretty much in all my shooting I have used the shooting glasses that you can buy from Wal-Mart. They do the job, but I am looking for an upgrade in durability and optics. I just don't know which of the brands provide the best...

I have been looking around online and locally for quite some time to find a Finnish M39 (Finland's Mosin-Nagant). However, my search has not turned up many results. Does anyone know where I can find one? I understand that they cost more than a typical 91/30 and are more rare. I am...

So out of boredom today, I compiled a list of firearms that I own, want to buy, and will inherit. I didn't realize how many firearms I really want, then I added up how much the ones on the "buy" list were worth off the top of my head. I figure I will need about $15,000 roughly to buy...

I have come across a dilemma. I have been looking for a well used and cheap 870 Wingmaster that I could use for a project build to make a nice HD gun. So I came across this 870 Wingmaster 12g in the pics below and got it for a really good price. However, when I got home and did...

I have a Winchester 94 that I got and I am getting slight surface rust on the receiver. I keep my firearms oiled and re oil once in awhile, but I am afraid that the humidity has gotten to the receiver. I wanted to refinish the receiver and barrel on this gun any way since it was well worn...

Well, after helping move some stuff for my grandpa, I was awarded with 3 shotguns for my hard work. Group photo: Remington 1100 12g: Winchester Model 12 12g: Springfield SxS 16g: I got really lucky because I had been looking at buying a Model 12 back in ID. Then I come home and then...
