I have one, and couldn't be happier. I haven't had a single problem with it. I didn't like the thumbhole stock that it came with, so I got a replacement stock set (with handguards) from ironwood designs (I went for the black walnut). To make sure I was 922r compliant, I swapped out the trigger & hammer for the Tapco G2 set. If you can pick up a MAK 90, you'll be very happy

If you're looking for a 7.62 rifle, I can't recommend a MAK-90 highly enough. NJ legal, and of pretty high quality (relatively speaking). I absolutely love mine. Gunbroker has a bunch available (just make sure the seller doesn't send you a hi-cap standard-cap magazine. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=358558277

thank you all for the great advice. In the end, I decided to go with the SOG powerlock EOD. It seemed like thats what he'd get the most use out of.

A friend of mine just graduated High School and is joining the Marines. For a graduation gift, I was thinking about getting him either a Ka-Bar or a SOG Powerlock. Does anyone on here have any thought on which would be better? Thanks for your input. Josh

Just picked up 10 boxes. Shipping was $11. Came to $.62/round. All things considered, not a bad price.

Yep, already gone. I've been using gunbot.net recently to track ammo prices. They are pretty up to date, and only show ammo that is in stock. They also give you the ppr price. It isn't a pretty site, but damn useful

500 rounds for $185. I know it's steel cased Russian 223, but right now, its a pretty great deal. Shipping was just under $25. http://www.jgsales.com/223-wpa-wolf-55gr-fmj,-500rd-case-p-453.html

He gave me a fair price for 2 magazines and shipped them right away. A pleasure to do business with

I'd agree 100% with you. No WWI = No WWI, no Cold War (and the myriad of proxy wars), no Arab-Israeli War, no Bosnian Genocide, no Saddam Hussein...

That's what I thought. I'll text him asap.

My co-worker recently was helping clean his father's house, and he came across a paratrooper M-1 carbine that was purchased in 1967. What is the legality of this firearm? Is it grandfathered in? If NOT, what should be done with it?

SOLD today.

Price drop: Down to $250 OBO.

Clearly, I didn't look over my original post. I want to trade my 20 gauge and get a 12 gauge. Thanks for picking up that typo.

What I have here is a Remington 870 express in 20 gauge. The only reason I want to get rid of this is so I can get an 870 in 12 gauge (much easier to find barrels/ammo). I'm not great at writing classified ads, so here are the specs: Age: 2 years (purchased from Dick's) Finish: Black parkerized Round count: 0 (yep, I never shot this baby) Barrel: 28 inches Capacity: 4+1 I'll even throw in 4 20ga buckshot shells (each shell is filled with 20 no. 3 shot) I'm looking for $300 #250 obo. I'm also willing to accept a trade for a 870 in 12 gauge.

Is this a newer rifle, or does it have the old "pencil" barrel. Also, pics please!

If these are being sold as "AK-74" rifles, how are they not banned by name?

A very similar situation happened to me last year. I placed an order from a well known site that I had dealt with before. My package did arrive, but it had clearly been tampered with, and was much lighter than it should have been. Basically, someone in transit opened up my package, took my ammunition, and sent everything else on its way to me. The company was very helpful and expedited a replacement shipment to me.

The reason I would get the Saiga is because it is an inexpensive way to diversify and 5.45 is so cheap. And with the company declaring bankruptcy, I want to pick one up now before the prices skyrocket. Thanks, but that isn't really what I'm looking for.

I already have a Mak-90, and I absolutely love it. But now, I'm starting to get that "itch." I've decided to get a Saiga and do the conversion myself, but I can't decide to go with a 5.45 or 7.62 model. Or should I be responsible and remind myself that I really don't "NEED" another gun.

I used them over the summer. Nothing but a pleasant experience.

I have a Mak 90, and it didn't come with any factory mags. I have 2 tapco, 2 15/30 from a group buy that Glenn did, and 2 15/20 from MTN armory. Both of the latter are surplus mags that were pinned. So, as far as I can tell, Mak 90 mags are standard.

About 6 months ago I received an order from Cheaperthandirt that was supposed to have 2 spam cans of 7.62 in it (along with some other stuff). It arrived with the spam cans missing. I had to return the whole package, and they were great about remedying the package, but having my ammunition was a bit upsetting. Their response to the incident was "it happens." I guess it is a fairly common issue.

I have a Mak-90 which is NJ legal and I love it. Just make sure the bayo lug is shaved. I saw a few on gunbroker today that were going for $600-ish.

That trigger group does seem like a pretty worthy upgrade. I hate the stock trigger. I have no dinero now, but I start a new job next month. Once the first few paychecks come in, I think I'll be giving sierrapapa a call.
