Tempted to get it refurbished and cleaned up but at the same time I quite like its well used appearence.

Sharpen it and leave it, looks badass.

I am going to be buying a pistol in January and I am kinda torn between 2.

It will either be a Desert eagle 50AE

Or a 1911.

What are good 1911 company's? Obviously colt is one. I did find a colt 1911 legit for sale. It's used and selling for $700. What about spring field? or Taurus? I found a 1911 Taurus for sale for $650 new. Not sure if I like the look though.

Thanks.

NightHawk Custom

SKS are awesome.  Try to get a Russian or Yugo (without grenade launcher gas system thing)

-strippper clips are fast
-it will be more accurate than you, unless you were secretly on top shot
-easy to clean/maintain.

I don't like shooting corrosive ammo on guns with gas tubes/pistons but corrosive and non corrosive can be found real cheap.

Each different make of sks is slightly different... Some have decent triggers, some have absolute shit triggers. I like the yugo's and the soviets, *some* norincos are decent too. Even then, each individual gun is different so you'll just have to feel them out. Machining in the 70's in soviet bloc countries wasn't as consistant as modern machining.

With decent ammo and using iron sights you should be able to hit 3-4 moa easily if you know what you're doing.

They'll never have a "match grade" trigger but no assault rifle should ever have a light, short trigger. That's not the point of the rifle.

Looks like I'll be getting an SKS then.
My buddie just bought a mosin, going shooting on the 2nd.

I hate when sks are all done up, just doesnt look right.
Can you but "Matchgrade" trigger groups for an sks?
How accurate is it really, I want a pretty accurate gun.

Birdmane you will definitely be happy with it.

You can get a nice sako for less than a low end 700.

Sako has the smoothest bolt and trigger out of the box of anything in that category/price range.  

I played with a Sako model 85 synthetic stainless in .308 for about 40 hours a week, and I still haven't bought it, but I will.

The only other company I would look into before Sako is Savage.  Remington really went down the drain/stayed put while others excelled in the past few years.

You can't beat a savage model 10.

Sounds good, looks like I'll skip on the Remington then.
I wish I could try some nicer guns, my local store is big5..

Sks are really that fun huh? Maybe I will grab one soon then.
Can't beat a $300 semi auto rifle I guess.

I was thinking of picking up an sks before I pick up an AR but I figure I won't really enjoy it. After the AR im planning to pick up a high power bolt action. I would really like a sako but i don't know about the money. Prolly grab some sort of r700, .308, 7mm mag? I don't know.

I need some help.  I need a carry/pocket flashlight with a clip that strobes and preferably has a strike bezel.  

I get 60% off surefire and streamlight so I would like to get one from them.

Also what battery system should I get...rechargeable, AA, etc?

I would say the titan or the backup, but I like cr123s.
Other people might hate them.

Also I don't like surefire much, but with a 60% discount hell yeah.
I've got a fenix, awesome lights for the price.

I really need something besides a 10/22 and a speedmaster though.

Shot some trap today, along with some .22 target shooting.
It's been a while, I need a bigger rifle though.

Hell no.

I'm about thirty miles South on the 5 in Old Towne Orange.

Oh for sure, long drive for me.
As soon as I get a different car, I'll cruise down there.
