The main one being magazine feeding. Because the magazine well on an AR is straight for several inches, and the tapered x39 requires a constant curve and an angled approach to the feed lips, this issue has yet to be reliably overcome as far as I'm aware. The "Frankenmags" do not have cons...

JW, I'm truly sorry you missed out on that rifle. Hopefully someone gets it that will appreciate it half as much as you wanted it.

I've read that there is no actual reg against an FFL receiving a handgun from an individual, but I've yet to meet any FFL holders who will do it. It's just easiest to go with an FFL to FFL transfer, priority mail + insurance. This is pretty much the case. A lot of FFLs around here will accept trans...

I've used Easy Off on surplus guns. Mostly Mosin Nagants that were just rifle shaped blobs of hard cosmoline. It's rough on the wood though, really opened up the grain.

It's no doubt that Star Trek influenced my generation, if you think it didn't look at the name of the first space shuttle, "Enterprise". Although Scotty was always my favorite, Mr. Spock's calm demeanor and self-sacrificing attitude in the face of any danger always impressed me. The show p...

I certainly won't Dis the Armalite PLATFORM per se... but it just never worked for me. I like my Leverguns and HK Rollers. I won't turn down an AR if it is handed to me, but I am unlikely to buy another one. My experience with H&K weapons systems has been quite the opposite of yours. I've perso...

I guess my very favorite feature of the AR15/M16 platform is it's modular design and that with less than $200 worth of tools and a box of parts I can build my own.

What lever gun chambering would you recommend for wooly mammoth and cave bears? 45-70, but never, ever a .444 :twisted: Has anyone besides me ever watched Tremors and yelled at Burt Gummer to get a 45-70? I'm sorry I blasphemed....I yelled "Reba hand him the RPG!!!" :lol: :lol: :lol: Rob

For you guys that shoot 10mm, the ammo on the market now is considerably watered down from the original Norma 180 the Col. Cooper was so crazy about.

Good find. The 760 Remington's are the sleeper gun in the accuracy department. Except for the older, first models the barrels are free-floated by design, most will shoot right up there with an accurate bolt gun.
