Is that a C-mag on the automatic rifle variant?

Looks like there's a locking piece under the barrel which links the barrel to the slide. After a few millimeters of backward travel, the locking piece hits the guide rod spring and is yanked downward. So it's actually nothing like the Remington R51 locking mechanism. I'd pay good money to see a...

"Initially offered in 9mm" I'll hold out for the 7.62 Tokarev version. That is a very striking and beautiful pistol... but I have no idea what he's talking about here. A valve that manages raw mechanical energy, rather than gas? That kind of sounds like John Pedersen's hesitation lock from the...

I am reminded of the Mad Magazine spoof of Mission Impossible. "I just got stabbed through the heart! And they used a butterknife! It took hours to break skin!"

I've carried a .357 on me every time I go hiking. Have done so ever since I was chased by a bear in the Olympic mountains.

I just had a flashback to the gun forums of twenty years ago, where all the old-timers swore that a light on your gun would get you killed. Also, if you shoot someone on your porch, be sure to drag the body into your house before the police arrive. The guy in the video is Massad Ayoob, and he's...

It's not worth it unless you plan to manufacture them or build a collection. The tools to build a single AK can total a thousand dollars.

Thought about getting into it, but I'm a day late and a dollar short. All the good kits have dried up.

"May I speak to your manager, please?"

In that case, we'll call this one a "Failure of the Victim Selection Process."

At first I thought she was carrying in a purse, but it looks to be a IWB holster. Good draw time.

An AR-15 with a horizontal magwell is something I've wanted for ages. Hell, make it a manly AR-10 with a straight mag. I'll never be able to afford an FG-42, probably not even the semiauto reproductions, but I could afford something like that. And it would be an awesome range toy, just built for...

Sure. That ought to be hot enough.

Mineral spirits will get it off, but you'll want to finish it off with a furniture polish or some such to protect the wood. The car method gets most of the cosmoline off. I didn't do it myself because I was leery of making a mistake and getting all that grease smeared into the seats and the...

I'd pull the trigger on this one if I were you. I've regretted a few buys, but I've regretted a lot more opportunities that passed me by.

Strictly speaking, I think that the M6D is more of a Deagle. But yeah, the impossibility of the M6D's dimensions and the desire to do something different has me looking at pistols like the Skorpion or the Broomhandle Mauser.

Look up the stats of the .50 Beowulf. Now go buy a box of cartridges and hold it in your hand. That box of cartridges? That's the magazine. How in the Hell are you going to wrap your hands around the pistol grip?

That's... interesting. They're going with a roller-locked system when everyone and his dog designs their guns with rotating-bolt locks. I wonder if there's an advantage there for a multi-caliber firearm.

Similar to polygonal rifling, but the profile is oval. It's some weird British thing and I think it's called Lancaster Rifling.

Yeah. They use oval-profile rifling which doesn't have distinct lands or grooves, which technically counts as smoothbore and therefore is classified as a shotgun. And since the laws on shotguns are much less restrictive than semiautos...
