I'm buying parts for an AR build, the idea for this rifle is to build a rough approximation of a semi-auto Colt M16A3. I'm in line to get a Colt 6721 to use as a base for the build and just bought a Sabre Defence 20" rifle length government profile barrel. Now for the stock... A lot of places...

Anyone know if these guys make decent AR components? I'm thinking of picking up one of their complete A2 buttstocks. Is it even the same company that used to make .22 pistols or did they just buy the name like the new "Armalite"?

I got ahold of a digital camera last night (not mine, so don't complain about the photos, it doesn't have a macro setting for closeup shots) so I took a few photos of my most treasured firearm. I just have to show it off.:) The Story: What I heard from my grandfather is that this rifle came...

I'm in the market for a 20" government-profile AR barrel. So far I have only found these two. Which one would you pick and why? This will not be a fancy target rifle, I want the barrel and everything else to be as close to milspec as possible. 2" to 3" groups at 100 yards is fine. I will be...

I was out at the range today plinking with my 9mm AR and the little BHO/release tab on the port side of the lower snapped in half. Broke right in the middle where the pin goes through it. Is this a part that requires fitting or can I just drive the pin out, drop in a new one, replace the pin...

I've been wanting a full-size Colt AR for a while now, but Colt is only making carbines for the foreseeable future, so here's what I was thinking about doing... -Buying a Colt carbine from Wildalaska -Buying a 20" barrel, gas tube, A2 handguard, front sight / gas block / etc... -Buying an A2...

I buried this question in my other post about stocks and nobody has hit on it yet, so I figured I should split it out... Can I put a Saiga handguard on a WASR 10/63? I'm good on 922r, this question is strictly about nuts-n-bolts, not law.

I picked up a WASR 10/63 the other day. I had not planned on buying another AK, but I found one for a non-gouger price and it had all its parts on straight so I said what the heck... It shoots good, runs great, heck the sights were even zeroed right out of the box, but good lord that wood is...

Do any of y'all know where I can find some Russian 5 round Saiga 12 magazines? I need some for when I shoot extra-heavy 3" loads, I broke a few 10 round AGPs that way (AGP replaced them, but I don't want to break any more). The el cheapo 5 rounders from keepshooting.com don't fit my shotgun...

So I picked up a little Kershaw/Onion Chive knife as a stocking stuffer and I can't figure out how to open the darn thing. I want to be able to show the person I'm giving it to how it works so they don't cut themselves. Apparently you are supposed to push on the little hump on the back and it...

At the 1:06 mark there is an odd AR shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7299z15UZE I don't think I've ever seen a handguard or rear sight like that before. The whole upper is completely wacky. Anyone know what it is?

I've got a 9mm RRA carbine and it works great with Colt mags and the older C-Products mags with the grey finish, but I bought some of the new black teflon CP mags the other day and they do not work. They fall out frequently and do not feed properly when they do stay in place. If anyone has tips...

I was watching a documentary on Japan's "Self-Defense Forces" last night and couldn't help but notice these nifty rifles. Anyone here have any experience with the Howa 64? Were any ever imported into the US? Did Japan switch over to the Howa 89 just to jump on the 5.56 bandwagon, or were there...

About a year ago I bought a rifle from a small and relatively unknown maker. A month or so back I sent it back to them for a third time because of dangerous malfunctions. It has previously been back to them because it left the factory without vital parts installed and because of different (but...

I went to the range today with a friend of mine and when we walked out to the 50 yard target frames, we couldn't help but notice that somebody had left about a dozen bowling pins and a long board to set them up on. So we set them up... Fun! I had never shot at pins before and I have to say it...

This article had me hooting and laughing at several points: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081026/ap_on_re_af/af_somalia_piracy_protection Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are locked in a "safe room" on a ship taken over by pirates, you are still a hostage, right? Seems like if they have the...

I ordered a USGI M14 stock from a very respected M14 authority and got it today. It was described as: It's covered in splotches of black paint and has a huge divot in the side (looks like somebody hit it as hard as possible with a hammer, or maybe an angry mule kicked it). I wiped all the...

I am going to be sending off my M14 clone for a total overhaul and I need a ridiculously strong case to ship it in. After this build it will be the most expensive rifle I own, a project years in the making, so I want serious protection from shipping gremlins and drunkards operating forklifts...

Can you drop a Chinese barreled action and trigger group into a USGI stock without fitting, or are there dimensional differences that require a gunsmith? I know the empty selector notch will look bad, but not as bad as the stock it's sporting now. It's chipped and funky and needs to go.
