Re: AK 47 or AKM?

A question for the AK experts out there. It is my understanding that the first AK-47 was stamped steel, but production problems forced the Soviets to change to a milled receiver.

Re: Windham Weaponry "A1 Government"

Nice! Can't really tell the barrel profile.
Does the rifle feel lightweight like the original or front heavy?
If they nailed the balance of the a1/sp1 this could be keeper.

Re: Semi-auto Handgun Picture Thread!

AZ Desert Camo indeed! How does one get the hue of all the parts in an AR so perfectly matched. A class act! Don't leave it on the sand while to pick up the brass. You might not find it again!

Re: Who says you need an autoloader?

Munden hits two targets a little bigger than a hearth or a kneecap at 7 yards with what appears to be a single shot, which is like saying he'd disable you and your buddy before either one can draw their glock and bring it to eye level.

Re: Top things I love/hate about desert shooting

The lack of time pressure means you can stop and think between drills, consider where you might modify or enhance your drill, ponder where you can do better. Hard to do at the range with your buddies commenting or waiting to take your place on the slot. I am talking about run and gun practice here, ...

Re: Gun deal went bad in Chino Valley on Sunday

According to Chino V. PD shooter is Christopher Wendt.
Seller of the G45 here is instead Pennys Dad, which according to his profile and previous posts is the alias for NRA instructor Jacob Rascon.
So not related unless Wendt hacked pennysdad account here.

Re: Self-defense or murder? (video) Ruger PC carbine used in Texas on front porch

Not that laser but the laser used in training systems (of which various brands exist today) that have been found to have a near 100% skill-transfer on "first shot from the draw" drills. As a number USPSA shooters have discovered during the ammo crunch and/or when ranges were closed (and pa...

Indeed a Roni. They evolved from the MAC 10 days, I guess they are impacted by the jump in collectable gun prices!

I trained force on force (with laser "bullets") extensively. Running aggressor wielding knife or bat (rubber of course) against laser bullet training gun firing at the legs. Most of the time the aggressor could not reach the good guy before getting pelted with red dots in the femur, multip...

Re: Russia makes movie about Kalashnikov

He did not reverse engineer an STG 44. From that he copied just the ergonomics/overall layout. You could use the word reverse engineer for the Garand action though. He copied that action and placed it upside down in his design. He is even on record admitting that was his key inspiration in coming up...
