Hello all, Soon I will be the owner of a new semi custom AR-15. Features are 18" 1-8" stainless barrel, and I have been reading that 69+ grain bullets will work best with this barrel. I know this may run me close to max OAL/ magazine compatability, but does anyone shoot a similar set up or have...

Finally got my Kydex holster for 3" GP100 today from Bladetech. I am preparing to go to FBI Firearms Instructor School for my SO, and that requires shooting revolvers, and of course that requires a good holster. I far prefer Kydex to leather, and this fits the bill! As far as I know Bladetech is...

Will the fact that an SBR is illegal in your state keep the ATF from issueing a stamp? Trying to decide whether or not to scrap AR pistol if I can't make it an SBR eventually. Thanks for any help.

I was reading in a magazine recently (maybe G&A) and they suggested loading 38 loads in .357 Mag cases instead of shooting .38's in a .357 (To alleviate fouling and leading in the cylinder). Is this recommended or is it a common practice that I have been completely unaware of? Thanks in advance!

Not sure if I should post this here or in the Hunting Forum, but here goes... I have read on almost every manufacturer's Match bullets that they are not recommended for hunting. Now I can understand that for FMJBT's and the like, but it doesn't seem to make sense for HPBT's and the Hornady A...

I have decided that I might like to try a .22 conversion kit for one of my Glocks rather than go out and buy a new pistol. Does anyone have any advice on these or can you recommend one over another? So far I have onle seen the Advantage Arms and the Ceiner models. Thanks in advance! Merry...

Does anyone have any subsonic load information, particularly for .40 S&W and/ or .223 Rem? I recently was issued a HK UMP 40 w/ suppressor at work, and I am interested in seeing how quiet it can be. (It is no where near "silent" or quiet for that matter with full power rounds) As for the .223, I...

After all of the post recently about Mauser projects, the little voice in my head is whispering again... How much would I be looking at to buy a surplus Mauser, say for around $100 and then change it over to .243 Win. or something similar? (This is also the point at which I am regretting having...

I am in the process of fixing up my Granddaddy's older Marlin 80 (bolt action 22 LR) for my Dad for Christmas. It is in great shape overall, but it will not eject spent casings, instead you have to reach in and flip them out with your finger. Can anyone tell me what part(s) I need to correct...

Can anyone recommend a good way to remove stuck cases without damaging the die/ decapping unit. I have had a couple of stuck cases lately, and I got them out (usually with voilence!) but it has been at the expense of my decapping units each time. Once was RCBS .223 dies, and the last time it was...

This past weekend I picked up an older Marlin 336 for $200 at the local gun show and the gentleman I bought it from said he'd never had problems with the gun, but it had been shot and "been in the woods" quite a bit. The bore looks good and their is no pitting or rusting on the metal. I say all...

Does anyone have ideas for tumbling media other than corncob or walnut shells? I was thinking that instant (or regular) grits are similar in size, but I don't want to ruin a batch of brass without at least having some idea of what will or will not work. Also, will Brasso do for polishing brass...

I have been told that possessing a SBR/ pistol upper and an unregistered lower is a NO NO, but I have been contemplating building an AR pistol... Am I looking at violation of law if I own both my AR rifles and an AR pistol, or is that OK for me to have as long as it on a lower that is...

I was looking at some CMMG AR parts on gunbroker, and they seem to pretty good, most of their stuff appears to be mil spec, but I have never heard of them. If anyone has dealt with them or their products please let me know, I am very interested in their AR complete pistol lowers for a build...

I have found what seems to be a pretty good deal on a Century L1A1, and since I know very little about these guns, I have a couple of questions. First is there anything I should be concerned about on the CAI's? Secondly, how difficult would it be to take the standard the rifle and cut the barrel...

I have one Poly M14, and I have found another that I may be able to purchase. If I do so, I would really like to convert it over to a Scout, if that is even possible. Is it feasible to cut crown and rethread the existing barrel, or would I have to purchase an new barrel assembly. If this can be...

I have been looking for something a little different, and I came across these Vulcan V18's. (http://www.vulcanarmament.com/cgistore/store.cgi?page=/new/product.html&setup=1&ida=228&idp=0&his=0&cart_id=1865844.2792 ) It is looks like a mix between an AR180 and a FAL, or just an AR180 with FAL...

I am soon to be in the market for another mil surp 308, and I have narrowed it to either a FAL or a CETME ( I already have a Poly M14, and I want something different) I know CETME's brutalize brass and it cannot be reloaded, and I know very little about FAL's, so I am trying to find out if...

I went out to the gun show today and I found a gentleman with 2 8# cans of 748. I asked about them, and he informed me that it 748 (and all other Win powders) is no longer available since Winchester has gone out of buisness. I knew they had quit making several guns but I didn't know they were no...

I have decided that I pretty much have all of the guns that I "need" and maybe its time to jazz 'em up a little, but I have little knowledge of NFA rules and regs. If I were to build a 11.5 AR and I wanted to suppress it, would I need a tax stamp for both the supressor and the SBR or would one...
