      A Pro-Gun Article from Vice.com?

      My jaw nearly dropped when she started going into detail on her pre-64 Winchester. Totally incongruent with what I was expecting.

      A Pro-Gun Article from Vice.com?

      I was pleasantly surprised (shocked?) to find this pro-gun or gun-neutral, factually-accurate article on Vice.com. Aside from the obligatory link to a study showing the "dangers" of having a gun in the home, it was nice article about the joys of shooting and the importance of firearms to some...

      Edit: disregard, got excited and missed the existing thread on the new GP11 supply.

      7.62x39 Ammo Recommendations

      Golden Tiger is also unique in that it seems to be the only one in its price range that has a boat tail bullet with a nose cavity, for whatever that's worth. (someone correct me if I'm wrong about that.) Nutnfancy did a pretty good review of some popular 7.62x39 loads recently and, aside from a...

      A how much are they worth question..!

      From what I know, trying to date an Interarms serial number is next to impossible. Not sure of the value of your particular PPK/S, but the one's I've seen sell on here and elsewhere (Interarms PPK/S Stainless) range from 500-650 depending on condition and all original materials (box, manual...

      The CZickness VI

      AIM Surplus just had a release of Israeli surplus CZ 75's. Marked "Made In Czechoslovakia" with the rounded trigger guards. They look to be sold out now, but often re-list in multiple batches from my experience.

      WTB: Bavaria Rural Police Revolver

      Looking to purchase a Bavaria Rural Police Smith & Wesson or other revolver (or 1911, but that's hoping beyond hope) Let me know if you have one sitting around you're willing to part with. Thank you.

      Avoiding the pile of $50 to $75 Mistakes

      Buying off the internet is sometimes the only option if the places around you have low stock and poor selection. When buying off the internet, it's good to purchase from somewhere with responsive customer service and a good return/exchange policy. To test that out, shoot a vendor an email and...

      Russian sks-45....Pictures

      Nice rifle. Is the dustcover dated? Is there a Cyrillic letter on the original serial number on the left side of the receiver? A couple of things that I've noticed that affect the desirability of refurbished Tula SKS's are: 1. Date (1949 is particularly sought after) 2. Quality of the refurb...

      April 23-24th Crawfordsville Revere's Riders event - Who's going?

      Just wanted to echo some of the previous comments. Had a great time this weekend. This was my first RR event (had never been to an AS either) and I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but the quality of the instruction, the process they implement and the enthusiasm of the instructors were...

      CMP M1 Carbine (pic heavy)

      Thanks Winamac. I appreciate the information. The detective work on milsurps is always my favorite part. So many rabbit holes to go down. I never would have given a second thought to the spring tube. The stock does appear to have the selector switch cutout, but I haven't found a single mark...

      And mine was rated a Field Grade, the Service Grades must have been very nice.

      CMP M1 Carbine (pic heavy)

      That was my initial thought, too, until I read this... U.S. Carbines in Germany and Austria Based on the trigger guard marking it looks like this was used in the Steiermark region of Austria, but still under the Bavaria Rural Police. Edit..upon closer reading, looks like it was initially used by...

      CMP M1 Carbine (pic heavy)

      Notice from the CMP by email on 1/28 I think, and all orders had to be received by 2/1. From there it was just a waiting game and luck of the draw.

      CMP M1 Carbine (pic heavy)

      Got lucky and received my first M1 Carbine from the CMP. After ten weeks I'd given up hope and forgot about it, but received an email on Friday and a Fed Ex delivery today. What I know about the M1 Carbine is limited to what I was able to look up today. It appears it was a return from the...
