Re: Any worthwile non-tacticool SKS upgrades?
Not to throw a wet blanket on the fire, but remember that any change to an SKS brings in almost an instant 922r compliance situation. If you change the stock you have modified three 922r items and you will instantly have to change 3-4 more depending on your model. the stock is three items and changi...

Re: Caliber Consolidation vs Caliber Diversity
Caliber consolidation is a computer forum and survival magazine topic and only considered in those places, engaged in by folks absent any short term memory. It is as if you people did not just live through two serious ammo shortages when your consolidated calibers evaporated into the mist. People in...

Re: Bear Skulls???

Size of the bear and thickness of its skull, angle of the shot. Weight and velocity of the bullet as well as construction of ...

Re: Carrying OC spray?
What's the suggestion on OC spray and asthmatics?

Re: Reloading bench
You may want to tag that bench into the studs of the wall with some lag bolts and big fender washers.
The first time you get a sticky case the whole thing is likely to come off the legs and dump your nicely organized gear in your lap.

Re: You can only choose one not ideal gun in Alaska.
I would pick the .357 J frame since it would match up with what I would have had in the cargo hold in the first place and I would already have 15-20 rounds in my pocket.

Re: Tanks for nothing
You choose the tank that has seen the most action and returned the most kills with the fewest casualties. The M1 has fought in three theatres of war against the best the world could throw at it and killed hundreds of enemy armored vehicles. And it tops the crew survivability rating. I am not worried...

Re: Calculating your Threat Score
There are only 3 levels of threat. No threat, Possible threat, Definite threat. One would have to assume a variance [inaccuracy] of 66% with a 1-3 level threat assessment scheme like that. So you could never be more than 33% accurate. You get better odds on a Vegas Slot machine, or flipping a coin....

Only if it is already listed as a pistol receiver.
You can take the pistol to rifle and back but you can not take the rifle to pistol form w/o proper paperwork.

Re: The Pirate: Ar chambered in 5.45x39
WHY ???
Personally, all I would do is replace the red dot with a modest scope, a good sling and spend the money on stacking ammo high and deep.
It is way too easy to over do a simple and functional AR build like this.
'Course that is just one opinion, and its your rifle.

Re: Mossberg MVP Patrol, Scope and Mount, 7.62
If the stock is built properly for use of iron sights you will lose you cheek weld as soon as you mount a scope of any kind. If the cheek weld is right for a scope you will not be able to crunch down and see the irons. That is why the irons are left off most modern rifles, not necessarily just to ir...

The Pardner comes with 6+1 capacity and uses the extended mag tubes assigned to the 870 and gives one more shot in each configuration. And with the Pardner Pump you can buy extended...

Re: WASR-10 Light Primer Strike
Probably not a light strike from the hammer, more than likely the bolt is not closing completely and the hammer fall is moving the bolt forward reducing the impact of the strike.
