First real lever recommendations?

Looking at the 16.5” Rossi R95 trapper or Henry protector 45-70.

Technically just got a Henry model x .22Lr with the jessies girl suppressor on it. Any other model recommendations for 45-70? Will be wanting to use a suppressor on it. Probably used for mid range hunting if even besides ranch ish gun

AK47 Variant Recommendations?

Good Morning Folks!

I am looking for my First AK-47 to add to my other Caliber collection.

I am considering a IWI Galil ACE Gen 1 13" 7.62x39 (AK/M4) or a Zastava M70 or M92. I was considering PSA but would rather only buy 1 rifle/pistol that is chambered in 7.62x39 as a backup SHTF/Range Toy. From my local research the 92 is pretty much held on Notify when in stock

7.62x39 IWI Galil Ace Gen 2 (or 1 ) availability?

Does anyone know if these are still floating around? I am not necessarily looking for the 16" version unless I get the Barrel cut. But besides the 16" the only ones I am able to find are Gen 1 13", I'd prefer the Gen 2 8.3" or bigger

Bring on the stock recommendations!

Apparently, the ATF decided to bless me today approving my SP9A3S, I submitted it on July 24 and it was approved today.

I did put grand power, Slovakia on the form, but under OAL they approved it with my measurement from the tip of the barrel to the end of the weapon (pic adapter plug)

Non-professional OCL Milkman Range Test Stribog SP9A3S

I’m definitely not an expert shooter or claim to be and then my camera guy it’s not either

Took out my milkman for the first time with my host, which is a Stribog SP9A3S with A3 industries Lower shooting Blazer 115 and 147 grain ammo through PSA AKV and ETS Magazines. First few are “supers” and last few are “subs”.

IMO: With supers, the first round pop compared to the follow up shots are very similar at least to me watching the video, but obviously while shooting it it’s still pretty quiet. Then shooting the subs, after watching the video the first round pop is about the same, but the follow up shots are whispered quiet. And in my opinion, while shooting the subs, you can tell the difference between the first round pop significantly but the follow up shots are just as quiet as a 22 LR. Don’t know if you’re supposed to notice a specific ejection on nine mil, but seemed pretty good in my experience. Obviously was at a public range so I couldn’t take off my hearing protection, but overall, when I was shooting, I couldn’t even tell I was actually shooting. Lol. I found zero issues shooting, both mags with the A3 lower. I also tried to tie my shots without interference. Of course someone was shooting a 12.5 inch 556 right next to me. I went further down range to test out my Rhodie 6 and oh my God, I never wanna shoot from suppressed ever again

OCL I FREAKING LOVE Y’ALL

Side mounted Picatinny insert

Good morning,

Does anyone happen to know whom makes/sells a good quality MLOK to Picatinny rail mount?

Looking to cover 3 fullsize MLOK Slots for a CMMG Banshee MK4 to mount a pressure pad on the side. Unfortunately the top rail has a break inbetween the pic rails with 2 mlok slots but the design wouldn’t make it evenly flat and I can’t find them anywhere locally or on PSA/PA. Technically it need 7-8 up to 11 Picatinny grooves and 5” in length

New SBR Banshee 300 blk Owner

https://preview.redd.it/qd5yzs9v6ueh1.png?width=1508&format=png&auto=webp&s=948f314d81118321375bc09f6a0a2ef55fa87e2f

Good afternoon folks,

I just picked up this SBR Banshee from my Local FFL and was curious on how you guys if you have been, mounting any lights? i of course saw/see on the rail there is a break in the pic slots. are you mounting a touch pad still on top or some how putting it on the other side of the rail (on MLOK side) but through a MLOK to Pic Rail attachment?

I plan on putting an EoTech 300 blk or a Holosun 510C for an Optic and slapping a Ridgeback Sahara 300 or Nomad 30 for a suppressor

.300 blk pistol recommendations?

Good morning,

I previously owned a 10 1/2 inch diamondback DB 15 300 blk pistol AR but had to sell it (unfortunately)
But I’m trying to get another 300blk gun but relatively shorter.

Not trying to spend an insane amount, probably no more than 2K. But I have narrowed it down to 3 guns and open to hear alternatives!

  1. 8” Diamondback DB15 300blk $730
  2. 9.5” Springfield Saint Victor Gear pac $1100
  3. 8” CMMG 30AF20ACT Banshee MK4 $1400

ATF eForm 1 for the SP9A3S

Good Morning,

Out of curiosity, has anyone in 2026 submitted anything to SBR your Bog? from what I have seen, its only the 16, 8 or 5.5 barrel. I assume under the manufacturer you would put the importer Global Ordnance LLC (Sarasota, FL) because why not. But because it was purchased as the short variant without a brace, couldn't it still be Grand Power? or are all of the newly made Bogs coming from Global Ordnance to get assembled and sold. So y'all have just been putting Global Ordnance

KDG 3.25” rail extension problems

This is the second bridge that I’m trying on my short variant bog. Did anybody else see any issues when installing the bridge? KDG says that it’s supposed to slide right in? Unless I’m doing something wrong but the second bridge they just sent me will not fit in my 3S. I’ve obviously already watched all the videos so unless my body is weird when I talk to them on the phone, they said it does not need to be used with force to push it in, which is the only way that I could even get it in and then it only goes halfway.

Don’t you wish you had Jesse’s girl?

Tax stamp Wednesday, should’ve been tax stamp Tuesday, but the ATF went ahead and approved this one right before my FFL closed. Certified/submitted on 6/27/2026 and approved yesterday 7/7/2026. Barely above 5 inches and insanely light.

* I am sorry, OCL, I was very tempted to get the 22 Ti but I plan to make it up by getting another OCL product for my .308

New Bolt Action Recommendation? .308 in Texas

Good Morning, I am currently shopping around for my next firearm and decided on my first bolt action.

I am currently looking at a 18" Browning X-Bolt 2 Western Hunter Rifle ($879), 20" Ruger American II Rifle ($599) or a 20" Tikka T3x Superlite Bolt Action Rifle ($876) or an 20" Bergara B-14 HMR Bolt Action Rifle ($1099). All of these are threaded and planned on putting a suppressor on it (Dead Air Nomad L/ or the new Ruger cross branded .30 cal or the SilencerCo Scythe Ti)

Does anyone have any thoughts or changes to what might be best? budget isnt quite a factor but I prefer to spend less than $1,000 (US). This will most likely be used for Hunting only in Texas, so like Hog, Deer, Elk or any American Wildlife. I have shot .308 before and I can handle recoil and weight. i'd also try to put a Vortex 3-15/18x scope on it.

* of course would like something reliable without losing a ton on accuracy as in I probably wouldnt go out more than 600-650 yards but would not mind trying to hit 700+ at a range or something.

Complete-ish Bog

Comstock hybrid (flash + break) muzzle device just came in so I attached it to an extended Comstock hub adapter. 😭 turns out my measurements were slightly off so my new KDG 3.25 inch rail extension is about an inch too long to fit the milkman. Haga defense only takes returns if product is unopened, might be looking to sell it for a good price if I decide not to trim off the interior or cut a little bit of the new rail.

But other than that, about to add a stream light flashlight to the side regardless, and then it’s ready to shoot

Got milk? Tax stamp Tuesday!

Be mindful that the ATF approved my tax stamp (thank you) yesterday at 5:46pm unfortunately I would not be able to make it to my FFL by 6 PM to pick it up, which is great. I certified on the 18th at like 9 PM and it was approved yesterday evening. Honestly, pretty fast that the average is 5/6 days. Only took two total business days, 3.5-4 days to approve it (4.5-5 if you count the day you certify, which usually that doesn’t count) I’m excited for this one for my 9mm Spribog SP9A3S (B&T Clone)

A3 Lower install mag options

Just installed the A3 polymer lower and honestly, I think this looks so much better now, I bought some ETS 40 round smoke magazines fit pretty good. They have a little bit of a wobble, but I think that might be normal and then I bought some Soviet arms, a.k.a. PSA but different color scheme AKV 35 magazines. which have a little bit of a wobble, which I think that might be normal. once when I go test them out, I’ll see if I should get another PSA/Soviet Arms 35rd mag.

FYI I went ahead to be easy and got the bundle from A3, which came with the AR AMBI safety selectors as well as the rise armament drop in trigger and their Xeno grip and it was nice to build it for me so it was just plug-in play, all that’s left is getting the KDG extended hand guard
