That is a Romanian SAR-1. (No barrel threading / MB, No bayo lug, and it has dimples on the receiver.....means post ban). I have a SAR-1 and love it.

My 1911 is more controllable than the G23 and G22 I've shot quite a bit. The .45 in a 1911 makes the recoil "roll back" in my opinion, where as the .40's I've shot do "snap" as the OP mentioned. My 9mm P6 is pretty tame, as well as my G19. I personally like .45 over .40 my $.02

G19 - so easy a caveman can use it 1911's - my grandfather survived the war because of one, and I'm a believer in the Gospel of John.....Moses Browning AK's - I just like them, and I enjoy making bets at the range against the AR guys with the 5.45

I am also in the market for a trade in G17. I called Bellshire and they have NIB for $540.79 OTD

The 74 is also in the back of my mind. I had a century Tantal, which was a complete fiasco, it keyholed like it was supposed to do it..... I know they were 5.56 Green Mtn Barrels. boo century. K_VAR has the SGL-31 on sale for 799.99, which is more or less a Russian made AK74. Why....did you have to bring up the 74, now I'm going to lean that way again (159 per 1k isn't too shabby either)

I'm an avid AK shooter, I've got a few and I was going to get one in 5.56, then it hit me........get an AR platform. So, I'm now beginning the search for an AR. Here is what I'm after. M16A2 / M16A4 clone.... more or less the full sized rifle with a flattop on the receiver, don't really need a quad rail (can get one down the road). My price range is 700 - 900 OTD. I know this limits my options, however, I can't afford a colt/bushy/LWRC, etc... I've run across the double star 15 being sold by centerfire systems in KY. It's 799.99. Anyone have any other suggestions? This is going to be for range / farm fun and the occasional zombie attack.

I was there today! I live off west end, and its only 25 min from the house.

I'll take some pics when I get home this afternoon. The front sight drifts off with a punch and hammer. once off, the sight post falls out. I used a refinishing nail (cut it to size) which sat in the base where the front sight was and drifted it back on. I had tried the electrical wire wrap trick, but wanted something more durable.

I have searched high and low for a Saiga .223 in the Nashville area. Franklin gun shop had one, but it sold... which might be a good thing as I hate giving them money. Have any of you seen any around? If you happen to be in a shop that has one, can you let me know where. I sold all my 5.45 and 7.62 rifles to focus on ammo commonality of 5.56, and I love Ak's so I desire the famous Saiga. I've seen em at the gun show for 600 bucks, which is a rip off, as a friend got one in Birmingham for 400 out the door. So I know they have to be out there. thanks

My 1943 M91/30 is a tack driver. It is an Izhevsk, and while not as accurate as some M39 Finn rifles, It will shoot 3-4 MoA at 100yds with Irons. I do this with the rear site set at 200m. When I first got it, it shot pretty high, so switched out the front sight with a nail, and took a file to the range working it down a lil at a time. 7.62 is plentiful and cheap, 440 rounds for 100 bucks. I used denatured alcohol to strip the shalack off and rubbed it with a finishing pad. Add a little lindeed oil, and now shes a looker. Get one, I paid 109 out the door __ get a limb saver recoil pad in the small size and you can go through 200 rounds no problem.

I should add, the shipping time is UNREAL. When I ordered a set of the desert micarta grips on a Saturday, they were on the gun Tuesday night.

The Rock Islands are great guns. I have the 5in tac, and I have around 2k rounds through it no problems. Parts are as "drop in" as any other 1911, if you understand the irony.

Dick has the best price on .45 acp than anyone in Nashville. For the Remington green box it runs 19.99 a box. Wal Mart *used* to have the WWB .45 100 pack for 28 bucks, but NO wally world in town has any, in any caliber it seems. As far as .22 ammo goes, Wally World is the best deal. They have the Federal Value pack for 13.87 for 550 rounds. My GSG5 eats it like candy, and it is not as dirty as the thunderbolt ammo.

I had those grips on my RIA tac. I have since replaced them due to cracking. I would check out RAASCO grips http://raascogrips.com/ They are somewhat under the radar, making pricing lower than most of the big name guys. I have the dymondwood and thier micarta offerings, and I couldn't be happier.

My fathers Browning Sweet Sixteen. Every time I take it out to the farm I remember the day when I was eight and begged to shoot it, ouch. Now many years later I must admit, it would have to be a 14.5mm PTRD-41 anti tank rifle. Shot it at Knob Creek and took about a week to get my shoulder back in place.

I have been to gun shows in the past, however I have never tried to sell anything. How does one go about selling a rifle at a show, is that for vendors only? Or can I walk around with it? I have an extra Tantal I need to sell to fund a GSG5. With Jan 20 approaching I wonder if I would have a good chance of letting go of the AK at the show?

Ok, I can't express the joy and excitement I have right now after hearing both Rudy and Gov. Palin blast the lid off Obama's experience. Finally for the first time someone has OPENLY addressed his lack of ability to lead the United States. I think this was a political SLAM DUNK, and now I 100% fully support this ticket, with no reservations. I ask you fellow Tennesseans: - What do you think - Rudy 2012? Palin 2012? - How does this hurt Obama's campaign

In regards to the parts count, who may I ask will ever know, and who will ever want to check a firearm for compliance. Just wondering?

There is a certain shop south of Nashville, that I will NEVER go back to. While they may have everything, it is over priced, one of the owners is not that pleasant to deal with, and they have an attitude that is piss poor. I know I am only 25, but I happen to be in a position due to my job, that allows me to collect various toys. I purchased an AK variant from them, that was not functioning correctly, and took it in to see about switching it out for another one. They wanted $100 dollars just for a trade, thats lame, I'd had the gun for 3 weeks, and took it to the range once. When I was in Knoxville for school there were two main gun shops which would have taken it back no questions asked, or given me a refund. As a result of that I continued to do business at both shops, and purchased quite a few firearms from them. I have no interest in EVER doing any business with the shop in 37067 again, NEVER. Besides being a hassle to deal with they have a staff that is half stupid, some of them are on point, but a few of these guys don't know the difference between night and day. Since I live in Nashville now, I guess my only options for what seems to be a competent gun shop in this area are in Greenbriar (super nice guys) and Murfreesboro. Maybe there is a shop I am unaware of, but I DO NOT recommend going to the gun shop that resides in a former Catfish restaurant. I've spoken my peace.
