Another stupid "Comparison" topic, but I was wondering of the differances between, and if anyone has used the Weaver or Millet extended rings? I'd like to use the Millets, being all-steel VS the Weaver's aluminum base, but the Millets are windage adjustable.....is that a bad deal? Or just...

Okay I got a question for the experts, I couldn't find any so I came here. (:D Just kidding). My question, I've got a picatinny rail that doesn't go quite far enough forward to mount some scopes. The scope(s) I plan on using are short, straight tubes, no forward bell. My question is...

Just curious everyone's opinions on the starfire round from PMC. Not real sure about it, seems decent, good accuracy and reliability. But what I've seen/heard on the 9mm, I'm wondering...A little too lightly constructed for the .380? It's ALL that's available locally. So far I've been...

A few days ago I received my 762tactical chest rig. I like it, fits snug (Except as below), and is a good "Combo", 2 FAL or 3 AR magazines without much for slop. Just for the heck of it (and because I can...being on a ranch work enviroment and all...lol), and it wears good, comforable...

Just curious if anyone has heard of this company: http://www.fullcanopyarmory.com/ Seeing as how Warbird is backed up (Website, no email reply yet), I was just curious if anyone knows of someone who has dealt with the Canopy Armory? I don't know, I think it'd be an okay place to have a...

Well I've got a 1917 Colt .45acp. It's finish is about gone, had a little rust in a few spots, but it locks up good and solid and shoots really good. Best $200 I've ever spent :D Actually, I've had it about 2 years, just now getting around to a few things. #1. The extractor star is...

Well I took da plunge. Got Metric Fal awhile ago. First the picture: Second, the questions. #1. I know the gas "Should" be adjusted down, but my question is...how necessary is it? it's sitting at 2 I think? Or 9..whichever is one below max (It isn't marked) I don't mind the recoil...

Just curious on a couple of things. Is there any differance between the Military Classic and Black Box Wolf ammo? I ask because the only Military Classic ammo I can find, now has a polymer coating, and the Black Box stuff is just steel (no coating). Two years ago when I picked up...

I just recently saw a Armscor doublestack 1911 in .40 S&W. I had never heard of these, even a hint. My Armscor 1911 manual included 9MM, .30 Super and .40, but figured that it was sorta like the backwards marked Chinese scopes, it was just wrong. Are they just starting to be imported...

Well had a question. When my 1911 went to the gunsmith for an Extractor job he "Helped" and recut the chamber, locking lugs,etc. Anyway, I don't know what part he changed (IE: Messed up), but my High Standard (Armscor) 1911 went from shooting 3" groups, to shooting 7-8" patterns...

Just curious if anyone has had experiance with PMC or American Eagle .50 bmg ammo? I had planned on getting some American Eagle ammo at first o get comfortable with the .50, then get some higher quality match ammo once we're used to it. However I was just looking and there is PMC .50...

Well...here's something maybe someone has tried before. I looked online and found a few ways, solders,etc. to bond Aluminum and steel. Nothing really seemed positive, and one said he managed to damage the aluminum he was working on. Has anyone used a compound/mix/weld/solder that...

Anyone here ever used a Doublestar AR15 lower? I am looking into purchasing a lower for a .50 BMG, and found the DoubleStar. They appear to have good reviews from what I've heard, and they seem to be decently priced at $200. A few cheaper, but they seem to be disassembled VS a completed...

How come I never see any threads on the Ruger 96? I am just curious. I realize that "Anything it does the 10-22 does better", but I thought it was odd. I've got a 96 and I absolutely love it. 10-22 mags are a little wobbly but they work. I guess what has sorta sold me on it was...

Well I'm making the big leap...Well...sometime soon :rolleyes: Probably February, but I might hold off a short while longer. I am planning on getting a Safety Harbor SHTF .50 upper. $2,000 for the 29" barrel, extra 5 round magazine and the flip up iron sights (Another $300 between them)...

I was just curious who all carries Hi Powers (Or, just has one), and if so, how are they set up? Holster, ammo, type of Hi-power. I am asking because I am going to be slightly switching my Hi-power setup. I had never worried about it before, as I primarily been carrying my Sig 226 in...

I got a Sig 226 in .40. Thinking of getting a 220 sig in .45 that would need the sights swapped out. Is the Rear Sight Removal tool NEEDED? I adjusted the sights in my .40(Just tapping one way or another) with a brass punch and hammer and noticed no problem. Also, what size of...

Okay, sort of a newbie question. So up front :rolleyes: How similar to a full size 226 does a 239 sig handle? I've got a .40 226 and handled a 228 9mm and 229 .40, but have never seen a 239 to handle. Now the 228/9's I HAVE handled I love the feel of. Just natural pointers. Is the 239...

Okay, picked up a AR-180B.(Normal gun, so no pics ;)), with the unique base for $585 including shipping. Functions very good, only hitch was the first magazine load through a 40 round C-product magazine, all the others work fine. The fit and feel to me, is better than the full-size AR15s...

Sorry guys, all it seems I do is ask questions! But at least I don't ask the same one twice (Usually ;)). I wasn't sure if this should have gone into general discussion. As it is just research for a amateur gun fiction I'm writing. But figured it may be pertinant here. Can...
