    Adams Arms blems?

    Anybody have one? Just how blemmed are we talking here? Buds has the blemmed carbines for $599 shipped right now, still covered under AA's factory warranty, which seems like a screaming deal if they aren't completely effed up...

    New old Marlin

    Came across a deal that I couldn't refuse today. A local guy was selling off some of his long guns and asked me to come have a look. Most of it was pretty uninteresting, but amongst the pile was an old beat up Marlin 39A with "G" prefix serial number (so 1949 or '50 production date as far as I...

    SOV PE scope repros?

    Every now and then I feel the urge to modify one of my old 91/30's to make it a replica of a "PE" sniper (Once thought I wanted to do it to one of my M39s until I realized what I was thinking and slapped myself sober) My most recent urge is a little stronger than most so I thought I'd access the...

    Member Link Up Fairbanks?

    Howdy fellas, it's looking like I might be getting a transfer up to the interior. I know I've seen Fairbanks people on here over the years, and I wanted to sound out the waters to see what is available up there for shooting sports. Is there a distance range? How about three-gun and/or tactical...

    Cor-bon 223 55gr JHP

    Has anyone ever used Cor-bon's 55gr JHP 223 load? I'm looking for an accurate factory load for my .223 Savage 12BVSS and I ran across a bunch of the Corbon at a reasonable price.

    Range Report Range report for Speer 223 Gold Dot 64gr ammo?

    I have always had excellent results with Speer GDHP rounds in my weapons, both duty and off-duty, so I'm naturally curious about their rifle ammunition. Has anyone used their 64gr SP 223 rounds? I'll me using it out of a 20" light varmint rig and I'm especially interested in the accuracy that...

    Sightron rimfire?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Sightron SI 3-9x32 rimfire scope? I've had good results with Sightron's higher-end otics, but I've never even looked through their inexpensive rimfire scopes. I'm looking to replace the Leupold FX-I 4x that I've got on my CZ452 Lux with a compact...

    Spanish 112gr 7.62x51 surplus ammo

    Has anyone used this lightweight spanish 7.62x51 ball ammo? It throws a 112 grain FMJ and is supposed to be designed for the CETME, so theoretically is should work well in my HK91 clone. Has anyone used any of this stuff? Is it reliable? Thanks.

    Shorter LOP hunting rifle

    Hey all, my fiance' has been pestering me to take her out after Caribou this year (I have a rough life... ;) ) She's a bit on the small side, so none of my rifles even come close to fitting her, so I need to find a short LOP/youth rifle to fit her. Now being a larger frame guy I've got no...

    Help with an old Marlin/Glennfield 60

    Hey all, my old man just gave me a piece of my childhood. My first rifle, an old Marlin/Glennfield model 60. I thought he got rid of it years ago so I'm pretty psyched to have it. Problem is at some point since I last shot it someone (I suspect one of my cousins) tried to "fix" it and ended up...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Holster for a CZ SP-01 tactical

    I just picked up a CZ SP-01 Tactical locally and I'm looking for a holster for it. It's very much NOT a carry piece. I bought it as a range/target gun, so I just need something to carry it at the range. Usually I just go out and grab a Fobus paddle and call it a day, but I don't think they make...

    Old Remington 700 question

    Hey all, so I just got back from my local gun shop and they had an old 700 adl just in on consignment. It's an old 7mm mag with a 45xxx serial number. The odd thing is that it seems to be clip slotted. Is that a standard thing for a magnum length 700? I haven't seen it before. Any help? Thanks...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Question about Glock LE sales

    Quick question for anyone who's ordered direct form Glock via their LE sales program. I sent in my order paperwork a while ago, and got an invoice (complete with serial numbers) from Glock Inc. in the mail today. Any of you who have done this program, does that mean they've shipped my order, or...

    5.45x39 uppers

    I've decided to do something a little different (for me) with my new AR build and make it a 5.45x39 Russian. I've got 2,000 rounds of hornady ammo on the way and I'd like to have the rifle put together by the time it gets here. My question is, which upper have people had the best experience...

    Tactical Machining?

    Hey all, I'm looking to buy a new receiver for my 10/22. I wanted a Nodak Spud at first, but they're out of stock until the next run, whenever that will be. I was looking online and saw the billet receiver by Tactical Machining. The price is decent and it looks pretty nice. I liked the integral...

    Need a part for a Spanish mauser carbine

    Hey guys, like the title says I'm looking for a part. I came across a screaming deal on a Spanish cavalry carbine model 1895 and snapped it up. The weapon is in beautiful original condition except that it's missing the front sight protector/nose cap. It shoots fine without it, but looks...

    Need to have a Guide Gun refinished

    I just picked up a new Marlin 1895GBL (short barrel, extended mag, big loop lever) from my local FFL. It's a sweet little 45-70 carbine. I love it, but the blued finish just won't work for a woods gun up here. Does anyone know where I could find someone who will refinish it? I prefer Ceracoat...

    American Eagle 7.62x51 168gr OTM

    Last week I was in our local gun shop looking around and I saw that they had just got in a couple cases of that AE 7.62x51 OTM. I'm in a bit of an ammo bind at the moment since I'm still waiting on my order from that Hornady group buy, and the American Eagle was a pretty good price ($20 a box...
