Re: Last day to comment on ATF proposal for pistol braces

Since neither one was invented when that law was written, maybe the law needs to be revised. They make a gun fire like a machine gun, I don't see the need for either for hunting or self defense. Machine guns have one purpose, for war, to kill as many enemy as possible before they kill you. I would ...

Re: Rust in the chamber of my 1943 izhevsk

My first step cleaning is to put a kettle on the stove and heat the water to very hot, usually hotter than you could put your finger in. Usually a bit hotter than hot water from the tap. Then I pour a fair amount through the chamber. You can leave the barreled receiver in the stock if you're very c...

Re: No further importation of surplus ammo to the U.S.?

The ban applies to a heck of a lot more ammo than just surplus. A really big percentage of new ammo of many different calibers in the US is Russian made and now banned. Yeah but keep in mind this thread was posted in March. This latest round of sanctions wasn't even on the on horizon yet. Since thi...

Re: What is this booklet?

Molot Factory Hunting Carbine Model KO-44 Carbine 7.62x54R Pasport (Customs declaration, or some such) Yes, the import date would be Oct 2012. I got a similar booklet with the Molot PU Sniper I bought in 2012. Mine is in English though. This was towards the back of it. CIMG1414.JPG CIMG1415.JPG

Insanity here in Marylandiistan. I stopped in at the LGS that I used to work at. I needed targets and saw the shelves full of ammunition. BUT, you could only buy what you were going to shoot there. They did have bulk .22 lr at $75.00 at brick and 20 round boxes of 7.62x39 for $35.00 a box. Russian ...

Re: Two Days of M91/30 Range Time

You can still find some spam cans of 7.52x54R at reasonable prices. With the way ammo prices have been lately switching to surplus rifles / ammo is a good way to still enjoy time at the range while on a budget. I sold a can for $160 in Oct. What's it bringing now ? SGAmmo had 440rd tins of 1985 Fac...

Re: 7.62x51 versus 308 Debate

Many years ago (like 10) I did extensive research about this when my uncle gave me a Garand that had been rebarreled by Arlington Ordnance with a 7.62x51 NATO stamped barrel. I read the debate about.223 vs 5.56 and saw that Sammi had a listing for those and not to use 5.56 in a .223 chamber but noth...

I wonder what a thousand rounds of Australian 7.62x51mm on the clip, in cloth bandoleers, and in steel ammo cans would go for now. Or a big brown plastic case full of 200 round sealed bags of South African, maybe 2000 rounds worth would bring? Not that I know anyone who would have stuff like that, ...
