I just did some reseearch and didn't realize the AK had been invented after the war. I thought they were going up against the Soviets who had AKs and SKSs not 5 round bolt guns as well.

Was it just they were outnumbered by forces who had more or less the same training then? I can imagine the Russians having inferior troops, but the allied forces all had autoloaders at least. Then why didn't they just stick with their k98s? Although I guesss JRS is probably right. I can't...

And do you think it would have been different had they invented the assault rifle sooner?

I thought they were more or less the same with minor differences, but very restrictive compared with the US all together. I thought you couldn't have anything except a firearm for hunting and nothing tactical except in the States. I know Britain and Germany have pretty strict firearms laws and...

How is it that poeple in outside the US have more firearms freedoms than I do? I always thought it was illegal to have anything semi auto; let alone any tactical firearm. Damn East coast liberals :cuss:

100+ views and no one knows how they pin an sks mag to 5 rounds? Are there any Canada people here? I hear their SKSs are pinned to 5.

You'll have to forgive my greeness, but someone's selling ammo for my rifle by me, and it seems to be a good deal. $250 for 1000 rounds. I live in the NY area where firearms stuff is super expensive. Is there such thing as bad ammo? Why do I get the feeling I'm about to buy some useless ammo...

When I lived in New York City and was considering becoming a firearms owner -- I remember dealing with the permit bureau that told me I was going to have to get a magazine blocked for any firearm that held more than 5 rounds. Thankfully I moved to the suburbs and don't have to deal with it. I...

Whoops wrong place. Moved to the Gunsmithing forum

Doc Tad, I'm not sure what you mean by long and short term. I would think a sense of urgency is short term. PS - I bought my Romy SKS for 360 bucks and that was because the same seller already sold his yugo sks for 250 dollars or something like that

__________________ Maybe he thinks as do I that you would fare OK with a hunting rifle (assuming it's semi auto). It seems like I'm taking a chance I guess. But I like the idea of having just 1 gun for now and the sks seems to fit the bill for home defense, SHFT, and gorilla...

Do you have a sense of urgency buying a black rifle or did you already buy one :D In a way, I want one but they're just so expensive and i figure my SKS is on "their list" anyway.

Well my only firearm is a Romy sks. Is there a cartridge for the 7.63 caliber that'll work for home? I've been thinking of getting a shotgun because somewhere someone planted the seed that a rifle would be overkill in home defense situation. I like the idea of having just the Romy for...

I've read a couple of posts here about the self-defense features of a rifle. I'm confused by the assertion, unless you live in a rural area. Otherwise, wouldn't a rifle be a little much if we're talking about defense in a suburban home? I imagine the rifle slug going through about 3 houses.

I always thought the Romys were the best

I think the answer is yes. There are more weirdos . . . Although if they aren't the type who post on internet forums; well then how does thr get like 100M hits on google. hmmm.

I guess I'll have to make due with my SKS for awhile. At least it's Romanian and nice. $1000 for an AR? They're only $200 more than what they were? That's crazy to spend that kind of money . . .

I meant what were prices like before the recent run up. If i wait and prices go back down to what they were; could a riot shotgun be had for like $100? If so, I'd rather just wait. Man I should have been an optometrist . . . 4 ARs . . .

It seems to me an ar-15 is about 1200 minimum and an AK is $700. I heard a MAK-90 could've been had for $90 at one time. Is this so? I want a black rifle or something like it, but spending that kind of money is out of the question right now. Also are shotguns a lot? I want a pump riot...

This is the 2nd time I've heard of such a thing: an army showing up on a battlefield w/o a firearm. And both were from a discussion on this board concerning combat rifles. The other time was the Chinese in the Korean war. I guess any type of rifle is better than either of those deplorable...
