Not if he isn't doing gun work anymore. Hope he is doing well these days.

What ever happened to AZEX?

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away...... I had a FAL built by Derrick at AZEX in 2005. It was a really nice build and has been my favorite gun since. I have a new barrel I wanted installed and it seems he's no longer in business? I know gunplumber is the logical choice but not sure how he'd feel ...

Zasatava M70's in town anywhere?

My buddy really wants a yugo AK. Fair enough, he's from yugoslavia lol. I have a 89 M70AB2 kit I built into a complete gun, he really wants it but its not for sale. I showed him how zastava now imports AK's directly into the US. He's almost sold on it, but is worried they are different. Are there an...

Re: GForce GF2P Pump shotgun. Any good for the price?

I have no idea, that's the whole point of the thread. Ask me about FAL's, I got you. Ask me about shotguns, I will give you a blank stare haha

Re: GForce GF2P Pump shotgun. Any good for the price?

Wow, even cheaper! Nice find. The only issue with that is I'd have to pay FFL shipping correct? Where as with J&G I can just drive to them.
I figured its kinda hard to mess up a pump shotgun, but anything is possible.

GForce GF2P Pump shotgun. Any good for the price?

J&G has these pump 12ga's for $150. Awesome price, but leaves me wondering if they are that cheap because they aren't selling due to being unreliable. Anyone have any insight?

Re: Gunsmith repair work, general cost

This post is older, and hopefully you have it worked out by now. If not, try a new recoil spring. Slide may be coming back too soon, trying to pull the case out of the chamber while it is still expanded. Extractor pops over the rim and doesn’t pull it out. Worth a try. Yeah, it has new recoil and e...

CZ805

So my buddy is watching Ukraine vids non stop, and he notices the volunteer corp guys using CZ805's. So of course he's decided he needs one.
I can only find pistol examples on gunbroker, I'm assuming they cannot he imported as rifles is the reason? Anyone know of a local one he can check out?

Re: Thinking about FN FAL

Before one buys a FAL, they must ask themselves, am I man enough for this glorious weapon?
Back in the day I bought a rhoadisian parts kit and an imbel "gear logo" receiver. Had it built by Derek at AZEX [no idea what happened to that guy or shop though]. Its my favorite gun.

Re: Gunsmith repair work, general cost

Yes, I'm sure its not me.
I have shot at least 4 other starBM's without issues.
Any recommendations for an east valley smith?

Gunsmith repair work, general cost

I've got a starBM that fails to extract at least 50% of the time. This is even after new recoil and extractor springs and a new extractor, and with several different mags and ammo. At this point it needs someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. My question is what do gunsmiths normally r...

Re: Star BM ejector

wow, thats perfect. I had no idea I was looking right at it lol. Thank you very much!! I've range tested all the mods. First the springs, then the extractor. Thought the ejector was worth looking into.

Star BM ejector

I'm finally getting back around to working on my star BM that won't eject correctly. Yes I've already replaced the recoil spring, extractor spring, and extractor. Reading online, people have talked about the ejector. I found in on a parts diagram [https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/star/b...

Re: Day 3 of my new life

That's the funny thing. People are clamoring to get into the classifieds and yet they are pretty much deader than a doornail. Probably because nobody can get into the classifieds. Can't sell or buy guns and ammo on facebook, can't do it here without some sort of computer decided pass, not sure wher...

Re: AR 45 UPPER INFO NEEDED

.45 super is great if you have a fully supported chamber. And don't load .45 super specs on standard .45acp brass. Its a perfect carbine round otherwise, like the hot loaded SMG 9mm.
