    AR-15 long flash-hider advantage?

    Just a quick question about the funky flash hiders people use to bring their total rifle length to minimum requirements. Is there any advantage to it? (Other than keeping you from paying $200, engraving, and waiting 6 months for the The Form to come back with approval and losing velocity in a...

    Talk or Don't Talk: The Aftermath of a Self Defense Situation

    I've always been of the ind to keep your mouth shut until a lawyer is available to represent oyu and keep you from saying something that comes across as incriminating. Then I read this story about a common real time scenario that plays down. Now I'm not sure what I would do. Here's the part that...

    1911 project, need help choosing sights and fixing some kinks

    Brand spankin' new Springfield M1911-A1 GI Stainless with wood double checked grips and U.S. engraving. Beautiful pistol. Feels good in the hand and balances nicely. Normally I'd leave the GI sights on there but I've identified a couple problems so I'm in it for a major overhaul: 1- Failure to...

    AR-pistol and SBR NFA rules question

    Ok, I live in a State which in it's infinite wisdom decided an SBR is too dangerous for the average joe to own. I am leaning towards having the next best thing but I am making sure I don't break any rules unintentionally and wind up losing my 2A enjoyment. I have been reading the NFA rules...

    M91/30 scoped

    Today has to be one of my most exciting days. I picked up a 91/30 with matching numbers and scope side mount (matching as well). My hands reek of oil and it's fantastic! (I might need an intervention here :p) Now, the bore has definitely seen better days. It's pitted and worn but the rifling...

    CZ 75b 9mm conversion

    I am the proud owner of a new CZ 75b in .40 S&W (I get to go shoot it today :D). I would have preferred to get the 9mm version but the supplier was out of stock and the model they had I couldn't put back in the case. SO I have been looking around and I think I can do a 9mm conversion with it...

    9mm Carbine build questions

    I have decided to build an AR-15 9mm carbine with the actual intent to turn it into an SBR. My questions here do not pertain to anything NFA (yet) but I'm just trying to make sure I have everything that I need before trying this build. I have a T-15 stripped lower and I am looking at a CMMG...

    What to compare to the CZ P-07?

    I was looking for a 9mm CZ-75 to compare to a BHP and came across this little toy. I only had enough budgeted to buy one (ended up with the Browning) so I just held it and drooled a little. I have short fingers and fat palms so a good grip is hard find (One reason I went with an XD over a Glock...

    Target sights for Hi-Power

    Today sometime after 12pm I will be the proud owner of a hi-power. :D Put 100 rounds through it at the range yesterday and loved it. The sights currently on it are adjustable but they are flat black/metal. I was wondering if there were any sights along the lines of the glock style sight picture...

    help to find the make of this Enfield

    I picked this up a couple weeks ago and after fruitless attempts with the internet not being friendly towards my queries I simply cannot find the make of this rifle. At first glance it looked like it had a jungle carbine stock on it but there are no markings for barrel bands, almost as if it's a...

    AR-15 upper suggestions?

    Short version: Building another AR, 16" bbl, KISS setup (probably an A2 vs flat top), but I want a barrel that will stabilize heavier rounds while still beeing able to utilize 45-50 gr rounds without ripping them apart. Will a 1:9 be sufficient for 62 gr? Would a 1:8 be better? Thoughts? :confused:

    Recommend any lower parts kits?

    I have a new AR build going up, I have a CTR stock coming and only thing I need now to complete the lower is the LPK. The build will be a KISS 20" maybe a quad rail maybe a free float tube. I still haven't figured that part out yet. But for now I am looking for a decent trigger kit. I wouldn't...

    Tight fit with Silver Bear in a Mosin

    I bought some silver bear SP's for hunting purposes. But when I chamber a round it seems like it takes a little more effort to lock the bolt. The rifle I have is a M91/59, a refurbished M91/30 cut to carbine length with the 1100-2000 markings ground out of the rear leaf. The rifle looked to be...

    Mosin-Nagant and bear

    Being as I live in prime black bear country I am looking to get a chance to hunt for them one day. My favorite bolt I have right now is a Mosin-Nagant 91/59 carbine. It fires the 7.62x54r rimmed cartridge and I have bullets mostly in 180 but picked up some 204 grain brown bear the other day...

    Holster for Ruger Security Six

    Well, I've been looking around and searching for a decent paddle holster or shoulder rig for my new (to me) security six with the 2 3/4" barrel (I think). The reason being I don't wear a belt often which is why I am opting out of traditional holsters. The shoulder rig would be preferable since I...

    AR pistol in 9mm

    This is a question that I have been wondering. Right now I have an AR-15. But I would like to get a short barreled AR in 9mm. However, funds are tight and I can't really afford the SBR stamp (at least I don't think I can). A) Can I buy an AR pistol without getting a stamped SBR receiver? B)...

    Howa M1500 Detachable magazine conversion

    Is ther one? I googled and found this: Roedale Precision http://www.roedaleprecision.com/ It's in German BTW so might need a translation/translator. Read that they do semi custom rifle work. The only problem is the cost for custom work and they live on the other side of the pond. :( Also i...

    What do higher twist rates do to lighter bullets?

    More specifically, how would my 1:7 16" carbine upper do with a 45 gr .223 JHP? I've heard everything from keyhole to exploding barrel :eek: but I have no idea with my meager understanding of physics and explosive induced high velocity projectiles.

    Remington scope tap

    Well at one point I was looking into a Remington in .308 for a target rifle and had one on layaway and bought a nightforce 20 MOA rail for it. Then I decided to get my XD instead. So I have the rail and I still want a centerfire target rifle to put the nightforce on. My question is: are there...
