      Consignment Recommendations

      Does anyone recommend a good gun shop to unload some C&R stuff through consignment around the Howard County area? I have too many Mosins and I am looking to unload them 10 rifles, I do not feel like placing a bunch of $125 rifles in the classifieds dealing with the hassle.

      VZ52 Restoration Project

      I pulled out an old 1955 VZ52 to start a restoration project (remove the bubba poly coat) today. The prior owner had restored the rifle before (reblue, even used a couple of wood screws). Very interesting design with a trigger mechanism that closely resembles the American M1 Garand. Here...

      Picked up a M91 Today...

      I picked up a M91 (Tikkakoski 1943) from Shooter's Discounters today. Lou was super friendly and very helpful, highly recommended. There is a really interesting shooter grade card attached to the M91, dated 1980 & 1972. Per the shooter card, I think the rifle may shoot high... I have not had...

      Best Online Sources for Ammo

      So, I noticed that Classic is selling a case (20) Mosins for $2,400 + Shipping. Tulas may or may not be sprinkled in... Are there any other better deals out there? Since Classic is in NC, I am assuming that shipping would be cheaper. Only a 6-7 hour drive from here. Who wants to go in to...
