No question about it, a Soviet/Russian AKM... the only difficult decision would be fixed or folding stock. There is no arguing the AKs' reliability in adverse conditions. Not to mention the added punch of the 7.62x39 round.

I said this before, but without quoting, so I don't know if it was linked to this photo. Beautiful... Not only the gun, with it's weathered finish and time worn wooden furniture, but the photo in general as well... the autumn leaves and acorns... twilight of the year acquiescing to the years of...

Okay, so it's just a handful of munitions... it's still a good website.

I LOVE THE FOLDING BAYONET!!!!

Beautiful...

If anyone knows of a more complete web-based ballistics chart than the one I posted; i.e., ballistics101.com, I'd love to know about it.

Here's great page re 7.62x39 ballistics. There's no "Golden Tiger" listing in the chart, but this site is useful for a great many munitions. http://www.ballistics101.com/7.62x39.php According to this chart the Russian ammo is NOT all the same, contrary to popular belief. I shoot whatever's cheap...

Forgot about those, but you're missing the point. Regardless, it's still an interesting number of rounds for a Hebrew gun for the reason I mentioned.

Has anyone here ever reflected upon the fact that the largest military stick magazine holds 32 rounds? Strange number no? Why not 30 or 35? Perhaps this is just my religious studies background that included studies of Judaism amongst many other religions... but isn't it curious that 32 is the...

Uzi Gun Parts ...or you could just order a semi-auto spring assembly from this great website! They're pretty inexpensive and I've ordered a lot of parts from this guy in the past. He's a great merchant! http://www.uzigunparts.com/allpg.html

Thanks Richard! So... I'm guessing there are two curves with an inverse relation, such that extending the barrel adds to the force and velocity of the round due to pressure build-up until you reach a certain length, while at a slower rate the increased drag due to the greater friction of the...

Thank you for your reply, but I think you missed the question. I was not doubting the 9mm round for what it is, rather I was wondering if the configuration of a full-sized, semi-automatic Uzi 9mm Carbine had any advantages over a 9mm pistol, my best, uneducated guess being that the longer barrel...

Hello all, I still understand little re the physics of guns. I've owned my full-sized Uzi Carbine (10.25" barrel) for just under a year now and I'm loving it at the range. That said, I do look to my Uzi and my other two guns, and I ask myself what their place would be re protecting...

Thank you!!! That being the case, can I simply remove it? I guess what I'm really asking is, does it serve any other purpose such that I will end up with issues if I remove this? Thank you for your reply...

Hello all, I just picked up a new, semi-automatic, Russian AK-47. It's the Red Classic, Saiga from Izhmash through Atlantic Firearms; the one with the red stained wood furniture. I'm being specific because I know little about the different variants. I'm right-handed. When I grip the...

So, I owe Vector Arms an apology, as I measured the chamber end of the barrel and it's just at the wide end of spec., yet still within. I still don't understand how it fired out of battery though. As for the Vector vs. IMI debate, if I were to pay the money for an IMI I'd have to get my FFL, as...

So I just received my Uzi back from Vector Arms. They were doing warranty work on it because it fired out of battery. Upon inspecting their work, I just noticed that they milled out the receiver end of the barrel on the inside where their was a bit of casing wedged when I sent it in. I'm...

Reightous Well, I heard from Vector Arms yesterday and I am very pleased with them thus far. First, they began inspecting my gun immediately upon receiving it in the mail; i.e., on the same day they received it. Second, upon seeing the gun, they remained honest and are not trying to pass the...

This is what I thought! It makes logical sense when one considers the purpose of the blocking latch and the fact that I'd noticed that abnormal wear a week before. Note that I never had a malfunction before this; I merely saw a little abnormal wear on the blocking latch, as I attempted to...

Damaged! So... a little over a week from when I had posted the photos of the premature/odd wear that I noticed on the blocking latch, I went to the range. My first clip of the day, being a 20 round clip loaded with all factory rounds; i.e., not reloads. The first 16 rounds fired off normally...
