      Opinion on this Gun Broker Auction

      I was outbid at the last minute by a NR bidder and the item is back online only after two days. It makes me awfully suspicious to the point if shill bidding was involved, but at the same time, I’m glad that I didn’t get played like a fool. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/692425922 I mainly...

      ♠ RimFire PoRn ♠

      I got this brand new GSG compact for dirt cheap ($175) last year off GunBroker, so I figure I go crazy, and put a $30 mount & a $20 red dot. Looks like a border line mall ninja arsenal, but I think my 13year old son will have fun at the range.

      Looking to build/buy a AR-9

      I assembled mine for around $550. Palmetto Glock Lower $100, 9mm Upper with BGC $350, LPK $40 & 9mm buffer spacer $18. The stock & buffer tube assemblies are leftover from previous project. I think it turned out OK.

      When is an SKS worth $5k?

      The dust cover has clear marking of type 63 in Korean. And receiver, bolt handle also have Korean Alphabet markings as well. It may well be worth $5,000 now, but after reunification of two Koreas, god knows when, it will be just another $400 Surplus SKS.

      Didn't want to jack the 03 thread...

      I say go for it. Parts are readily available & the feeling that you get from converting the 03/A3 sporters back to their original configuration is just priceless. These are some of my A3 rifles I’m currently working on, the bottom one will probably need a new barrel. Others need a lot of work too.

      17 Shot, 8 killed in Baltimore this weekend. 6/23

      I lived (Orleans street) and worked (Pratt Street) in the Greatest American City for fifteen years prior to moving to Germantown & I got tell you, I am so glad I’d moved. The images of free roaming wretched ghetto thugs are forever ingrained in my mind.

      Beretta ARX160 22LR

      It is a cool looking rifle & shoots nice with nice ergonomics, but it sure has massive amount of plastic all around. Unlike my M&P 15-22, you can hardly feel the bolt lock open on the last shot because of beefy plastic body. I’m sure the price will settle down to around $400 range when all...

      FFL required to ship Firearms with UPS ?

      I just came back from UPS Gaithersburg customer center off shady grove & the lady told me I need a FFL to ship firearms once I told her what I was shipping. And then after I showed her copy of my C&R license (she didn’t know the difference between 01, 03 or 07) I happened to have in my car, she...

      Guns that should get made...

      How about a M1 Garand in 22 WMR that operates the same way as the real thing with the clip. Heck, how about SVT-40, G43 or other famous military rifles chambered in 22 WMR. These will be Cash & Carry, and compared to 22LR, will have considerably more shooting enjoyment. The only 22 WMR...

      Swiss K31 Purchase

      Congratulation on you new K-31, I bought mine last year from a dealer in PA for just little over $300. Seems like it has been going up $50 every year, considering current market condition & especially from a Maryland gun show, I say it was a good deal. As for the clamp on scope mount, it is a...

      GreenCastle PA Feb 2-3

      I just came back from the show, all in all it wasn’t a bad show for me at least for what I was looking for. Like the previous posts stated, high capacity magazines & just about all semi auto rifles were priced outrageously. The comforting fact is that most of the bolt action rifles were priced...

      Are people actually getting the price they are asking for?

      I understand that it is all pure capitalism at work, but I find some of the prices being asked just plain absurd, nevertheless at least they are asking a specific amount. What makes me mad is those who try to run the classify like the auction site, If you want to find out what the market...
