I see that a couple of companies are manufacturing aluminum lower receivers for the FN SCAR 17s. Is there a source for barreled upper's and fire control parts? Or, is this just not available.

As far as I can tell, there are three manufacturers of modern 308 Bullpups which can be purchased by civillians: Kel-Tec RFB; Desert Tech MDR and K&M M17s. I have included photos of each below. The Kel Tec is by far the least expensive and can be had for around $1,400. The DT MDR runs about...

I'm a big fan of 10mm. This gun would not be for carry. Does anyone have any experience with the Grand Power 10mm? Size and weight wise, I was wondering how it compared to the Glock G20. Trigger? I am looking at this over a Glock because I prefer a DA/SA to the Glock action - just what I am...

I installed a stainless steel charging handle in one of my more used AR builds. It has functioned flawlessly without messing up the upper receiver at all. I would like to find another one, but can't find them anymore. In looking for one of these charging handles again, I read a bunch of...

What guns available new today, or even just affordable today, will become tomorrow's most desirable guns/rifles/shotguns? I know that guns are not normally great investment - we don't need to go there. I just want to know if any of you see some "jems" out there that are screaming "buy me...

Supposedly Tavor makes an X51 .308 battle bullpup. I have never seen one. I can't find any online for sale. Does anyone have one?

Not mine, but I came across this AC556 on Gunbroker and this is a great deal. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/710508408 Someone should snap this up. I figure it has over $1100 in extras, and its priced at $11,750. That's the best price I've seen on one of these in about a year.

It seems to me that it would require two completely different laws to ban bump-stocks and binary pull-release triggers, since they do two completely different things. While both devices are legal under the laws as written, the definition of machine gun would need to be completely changed, or a...

I have a Remington 700 that was given to me. I don't know whether it is supposed to have a floor plate or a magazine. There are not latches for a magazine. If it is supposed to have a floor plate, it is missing as well as the spring, and possibly a latch, etc. I will try and take a photo of...

I've always had a thing for the Claridge Hi-Tec pistols and had my eye on this very nice example on Gunbroker. The high bid was $4,691 - this is about 4 times as high as I've seen one sell for. I expected it to go for about $1,300. Boy, was I way off! http://www.gunbroker.com/item/653021123

Sig X-Fives have unfortunately become rare and overly expensive guns. I have the Competition model, but had hoped to someday add a Level 1. I see these now listed for between $3,000-$4,000. This is just too rich for me. Are the X-Fives now becoming the new Pythons, relegated to nothing more...

I found a really neat Dan Wesson Model 11 at a gun show today - it was just too nice to pass up so I bought it. The thing is, I don't know much about the early Dan Wesson revolvers. This one seems to be a very early one - exposed barrel nut, 4" and the barrel shroud isn't like the ones you...

I had my 13 year old daughter try out (dry fire) several of my pistols to see which ones she could operate and what triggers she liked and disliked. She's not new to shooting, but has never fired a handgun. She hated the feel of the straight-pull triggers on all of my 1911's. :confused: She...

Is it just me, or is anyone else finding this to be a boring year for guns. There's barely anything new out that makes me go "Oh, I've gotta have that". About the most interesting thing I've seen for 2017 is the Kimber K6 - not bad, but still just another .357 Revolver. No Bobergs, no...

The COP 357 is the odd-duck 4-barrel derringer type gun. I bought one about 17 years ago. Mine has a polished stainless finish. All of the ones I've seen since this one have a mat finish. So, I was starting to think that someone may have polished my COP to achieve this finish. Then, today...

http://www.gunbroker.com/item/622649357 All you collectors out there should be drooling over this one. It's the rarest CZ copy out there and Serial #1, a Spitfire made in England. Reasonable starting price too, and not a terrible Buy-it-now price. Condition??? I'll let y'all determine...

At a Rock Island Auction, a semi-auto USAS-12 was recently listed with an estimate between $2,500 and $4,000. These are NFA courtesy of Bill Clinton and were required to be registered in the 1990's. Apparently there was a deadline to register these on a Form 1 (I don't understand the deadline...

I am stuck on having something that simply isn't made. I want a S&W 627 with the 2.625" barrel. And, I want the fluted cylinder. I think it would be cheaper and easier to buy a decent used 627 4" - since there are more of these around, and then pay a gunsmith to put the short barrel on the...

Since ivory grips are hard to find for under $300 now, if you can find them, I've been looking at different bone grips for some of my pistols. I notice that Buffalo bone grips can run between $30-$60 give or take. But, Giraffe bone seems to start around $130 on up. I like a smooth texture...

There used to be a gun show for people/dealers specializing in antique guns that would come around once a year in Florida. I'm recalling this from about the early '90's. Does anyone remember that gun show or what it was called and what happened to it?
