Can someone direct me in the right path to purchasing some extra magazines for my new Steyr M40 in Canada....greatly appreciated as I only have 2 10 round mags and we all know how reloading mags suck..

I have an SSG 69, made in 1999, and I've never seen a picture of one like it. It has a black stock, came with rings w/ matching serial #s, and the 6x ZFM scope. It has the butter knife bolt handle, but no iron sights on the barrel. Is this unusual? Is there a particular model number or...

I was reading this forum and on page 6 saw there you could tell the date of manufacture of your SSG-69 by the letter code stamped on the action and barrel. Well I just had to check mine out and discovered that mine has numbers "979" instead of letters stamped on the action, barrel and bottom of...

Luckily I'm good at this kind of stuff. And I'll try and answer any questions or post my templates when I'm done. I went to knife kits and grabbed an excellent hybrid holster kit. Why it came with the paddle thing it did, I have no idea. but anyways let me get to the point. I'm not trying to...

Got a SOG Field Pup coming in. One of my first high quality fixed blades besides my issue Ka-Bar. http://sogknives.com/store/FP3.html The new ones come from china, but if you can find an older one, they are in AUS-8, so you'll get a great blade. This knife is just simply beautiful. I had...

I never thought I'd run into this problem, but I'm a belt line sorta guy, and didn't even think about it because I'll usually carry for cross draw when I carry a pistol, but... My EDC stuff is right where you'd normally holster an IWB solution. does anyone do Cross-draw IWB? I don't really...

Been wanting to do something to enhance the grip of one of my favorite pistols for awhile. I tried the skateboard tape and the tactical bike tube and they worked okay but there were minor issues with those methods. I recently saw a stippling thread on Glocktalk that inspired me. The OP even...

Are there any Scout owners on the forum who have had their's for a while? I am taking delivery of mine Weds. Manufacture date is Sep '09. I am so excited I am bouncing off the walls. Cannot wait!

Hi, I am really hoping you can help me out with something... I recently acquired a STG556 that is all OD (including barrel) and was told that it was a Gebirgsjäger limited edition- it has a fitted MSAR marked pelican case, but the knife is missing, it has no factory optic (from what I can tell...

I would like member's opinions of the following two news articles, one dated 08-22-2011 and one dated 08-24-2011: The Seattle Times 08-22-2011 "A judge Monday ruled there was probable cause to hold a suspect for investigation of first-degree assault in the stabbing of a 30-year-old Seattle...

Ooh! Look, a package from CDNN for me! Hmm.. kind of heavy. I only ordered three mags and a holster.. What's all this still in the box? Woah. CDNN REALLY appreciates my business. :eek3: That FDNY polo is a Lee jeans polo.. score! Shooting glasses and a Brown Bess NRA watch...

Just curious... when you guys concealed carry, do you carry spare mags, and how?

Took the A1 down to the local "cop shop" Grabbed almost all the safariland holsters they had off the wall and tried to see if any of them would even come close to fitting :( Zip/Zero/Zilch/nada/squat............ :x stinks

When I bought my M40, the former owner had polished the entire slide. Sights attatched and all. So I have shiny sights. It makes shooting in bright conditions a bit weird. I'm not sure how I'd properly refinish the sights without covering the white markers. Anyone have any tips?

just goes to show you....if you can't get a gun...a knife still works... this is just nuts..... Careful...long pointy knives are dangerous...and there needs to be a law! http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/27/inter ... ner=EXCITE

I recently ordered a bunch of magazines from CDNN - total was just shy of $100. I got my package yersterday, and low and behold, they included a free knife! Understand this ain't some high-dollar blade or anything, but it is a nice, convenient, foldaway knife with a comfortable rubber handle...
