Re: Quite Intresting , Chippa Firearms 1886 in 444 Marlin

I was pretty interested in that Chiappa 1886, until I saw the price tag. $1,399 Retail?? I dont know what the quality level is on these, could be good, could be bad, I just dont know.

Re: Pointy bullets in tubular magazines

Re: OT-5.45x39 Anybody have one?

I think its a bit of a "catch 22" situation. Since the non reloadable 5.45 surplus ammo is so cheap right now, no manufacturer has much of a reason to make "aftermarket" ammo. Especially given the guns that are normally chambered in this round, and the purposes they're used, ther...
