Thanks MachIVShooter. I'm gonna wait to mount the scope mounts on the rifle, as long as your receiver has the rails which can fit scope mounts.

As far as modern scope adapters go, who makes them and are they compatible with modern telescopic sights. I might put a Tasco or Bushnell on top of it. MachIVShooter, sent you a PM.

I'm currently looking into purchasing an SVT 40 in reasonable condition. I'm aware that many SVTs have corrosion issues because the 7.62x54mm ammo of the time is quite corrosive. One of the other things I'm looking for is scope rails, just curious if SVT rifles accept modern scope mounts, and if...

My grandfather - a Filipino infantry officer in World War II used both the M1903 and M1 Carbine in the war. He spoke rather well of it I seem to remember. Also I recall that 22 SAS rather liked carrying the weapon during Malaya over their No. 5 Jungle Carbines for their greater firepower.

I'm looking into purchasing an M1 Carbine variant as a home defense firearm to supplant my handgun (an IMI 941F in 9mm). What's a reasonable price for such a weapon and what are things to look for (there are a few of them for sale at my local pawn and gun shops)?

Good to hear that people are finding the issues and enjoying them. Not to say I don't have an appreciation for the AR series of rifle and what it brings to the table but I'm one of those guys who sees the merits of both the AK and AR type rifles. The article on the Czech Cz series of AK...

Today I picked up another interesting magazine. It was Guns and Ammo's second special edition on the AK-47 rifle. It contained some interesting articles namely one on the PSL and the Iraqi Tabuk designated marksman rifles and the use of an AK derivative by a Michigan based private investigator...

Being somewhat of an AK newbie I'm curious as to how readily available 5.45x39mm is as opposed to 7.62x39mm?

The price is reasonable from what I've seen. Is it true that it can accept any AK-74 mag by any manufacturer? I plan on purchasing 30 round magazines in addition to the 10 round mags the weapon comes with.

I was recently skimming the magazine rack at my installation's Post Exchange and saw an article in Special Weapons about the Arsenal SGL31. Has anyone bought one or owned one at all? When it comes to good AK derivatives I've heard good things about this particular rifle. Any input would be...

Thanks Zak Smith.

I don't anticipate wearing body armor when using this rifle I'm building. At most I'll likely wear my LBV or LCE when training with this thing. I'm not sure where I can find ranges that will let me train in more than a bench position in the Mojave area of California though. Also I've heard of...

Thanks for the idea Avenger29. First order of business is accquiring the rifle and putting my BUIS and getting those zeroed. Then I'll mount the scope before I add the Aimpoint. I'm still in the research and development phase of constructing my own DMR at the moment.

It's a no magnification reflex sight combined with a telescopic sight.

Reading one of Zak Smith's articles while doing research for my upcoming 'budget DMR' project (to be done next spring after I've settled in at NTC for my new Army assignment) I've come across the 'Two Optic setup'. I assume this means mounting both a close-in reflex sight in conjunction with the...

1858, thanks for the input. I like the fold up BUIS configuration on your AR, I've got a Talon Arms setup for my own AR in mind before mounting the optics.

I've already done so and am still debating what sort of optic to mount on my DMR for the project.

Thanks. So for most three gun competitions (I assume simulating most combat situations) I've heard Night Force and ACOG scopes are good investments?

Just want a good and solid optic that allows me to hit smallish targets at 600+ meters.

Checking on Google for Night Force optics I saw about $1200 or more. Is this average?
