Sad that it comes to that, but I am comforted by the fact you are safe.

Anyone have one of the Turkish MP 5 clones? Comments on quality/performance welcome. I had a Grecian Formula HK G3 from Springfield Armory back in the day. (serial number 003!) It was a great rifle but I sold it during the crazy money assault weapons ban.

This is so sad. I keep the alarm on even when I am home during the day. When I was growing up, we didn't even lock the doors. How can things get so bad in such a short amount of time? Oh, right. Liberals.

First time! I think I smell a story here...lets hear it! Do you date redheads or something?

Very solid Talyn. It is well built and well thought out. It was long overdue. This was my last AK. Several years ago when Ol Joe was elected I was afraid he would wreck things. So my wife and I sat down and talked about what we could do to insulate ourselves from him running the economy into the...

Bassbob, I repeat myself: You are a true Gentleman Warrior. I try and do good deeds whenever I can as well. Well done, Sir!

Anyone else have a holographic sight on their rifle? Looking for brand input...I am more of a handgun guy but have a couple long guns left. Love the 7.60 x 39 round, but am not thrilled about the AK platform. This is the last AK I have, having divested myself of the others.

The only thing I complain about at 60 is arthritis in my right hand. I suspect shooting big bore handguns are to blame...I have it a lot better than most of my friends, so I am grateful!

Finally put in a little bench time this morning. A Yugo AK-47 that came with a polymer fore grip as I got it, I removed that and installed this Krebs Custom unit so I could put an EOTECH holographic sight on it. Of course, I failed to take into account the gas cut off on the Yugo, so it was a...

Ford Blue, I trust Killer Ford? Always good to wave the flag!

Years ago I used to shoot skeet with a former Remington Engineer. He had the prettiest stock I had ever seen on a Remington 1100 and commented on it. He referred to it as "E Grade Wood". I was not familiar with the term and he explained it was E for Employee. When an Employee wanted a particular...

To me, everything that supports the boots on the ground is a Yes in terms of funding. Warthog or older gunships are the right answer when our troops are in trouble. This should not even be an issue in terms of funding. It the troops say they want it, I am ALL IN!

PS- This thread qualifies as my "learned something today" goal. Never knew the back story of the Springfield.

Beltfed you were a visionary. Why didn't you come up to me at the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot and shake me until I understood?

Thanks. As a self proclaimed "Professional Small Boy" I now spend my days doing the things I dreamed about when working 6-7 days a week!

No replacement parts yet, outside of a recoil spring since I got it used and didn't know the round count. It appeared low, one of the advantages to high ammo costs! Gunbroker has them at $1415 which is oddly specific. I got mine for less as they were still in production at that time. I can't...

I affectionately refer to my Winchester 1897 as the "Wreck of an old 97". It belonged to Floyd Wine, a great gunsmith that worked for Brownells. After he passed via an unexpected heart attack, I sadly bought the 97 and two Ruger .357 Vaqueros from his widow. With a 20 or so inch barrel it is...

Don't remind me! They were $3,500 when I was looking at them and dismissed them as too expensive. Worst of all, I could have afforded it!!!! My biggest financial blunder....well, no, getting married the first time was that. But this is a close second!

CCJ, yes that is my actual garage. The Cobra was my dream car as a kid. I bought a 1971 MG Midget for $275 when I was 16 and my father taught me to work on cars by completely restoring it. Good times we talk about even today. Anyway, I was car centric from then on, always trading up, restoring...

As usual, blanket statements are rarely accurate. I should have said "as fast" or maybe even "almost as fast". I stand corrected. The 870 is a classic workhorse and there is a ton of aftermarket support. But my favorite pump shotgun is the Winchester Model 12. It is as smooth as oiled ball...
