    Right Handed, Left Eye Dominant

    Someone brought back an old thread from the rifle forum and it got me thinking. I am a right handed left eye dominant shooter. Of course I shoot rifles left handed, however, I shoot handguns right handed. I usually just kind of turn my head a little so my left eye is looking down the sights...

    686 For Carry?

    I go to USMC boot in about 2 weeks. When I graduate around May 7th-ish and after I pay for uniforms I should have some cash at my disposal. Some of that is getting saved and $750 is paying off the rest of what I owe on a car. After MCT and MOS (further training) I will have a little more pay...

    Anyone heard of Center Balanced Systems?

    A friend of mine told me about their Mosin Nagant stock the other day so I did some Google-ing. Here they are: http://cbrps.com/Products.html My impressions from first glance are that the foregrip (folded or unfolded) would be incredibly awkward and the scope mount would be incredibly high...

    Hornady Superformance and the 10mm?

    Just read the most recent American Rifleman and the article Superformance, Hornady's up and coming line of ammo. Here's hornady's page on it: http://www.hornady.com/store/Superformance-NewAmmo It just kind of dawned on me that maybe this could be used to tame the recoil of the 10mm auto...

    RIA 1911 Tac FTF

    My parents just got my brother an RIA 1911 Tactical. We've only gotten one magazine through it so far but on the last round it failed to push the round all the way into battery. Pried it out and tried cycling it through again and it happened 2 more times before it cycled properly. After that it...

    Threading an AWB era Colt bbl

    My grandfather has an AWB era Colt AR-15, 16" bbl, A2 stock. Not sure of the exact model. I am in the process of making it "evil" :D again and I need to know how to thread the barrel for a flash hider. I've seen barrel threading kits for AKs, anyone know where I can buy one for an AR-15? Also...

    What in the blazes is .50GI?

    I was waiting on a friend at a Barnes and Noble Saturday and picked up a Gun Digest for the first time and saw this ad for converting a Glock to .50GI. I've never even heard of this round. Has anyone shot one? Where do you find the ammo? Seems to me like that round would come out traveling at...

    Sick and Tired of Seeing Idiots With Guns

    Ranting is not appropriate - GEM Lately I have been seeing and hearing a disturbing amount of cases of people being irresponsible with firearms and it really makes my blood boil, and when I say really I mean really. Now, I know the second amendment by heart, it is a document and a piece of...

    Rem./Bushy ACR news?

    Anyone? Bueller, Bueller? I haven't heard didly about this gun lately, all I have heard is that it is supposed to come out sometime next year (just like it was supposed to in 2008 and 2009 :rolleyes:). I was kinda excited about this thing when I first read about it in G&A in December of '07...

    SA MC Operator vs Kimber Desert Warrior

    Ok so realistically I won't be able to afford either of these guns for quite some time, the greatest income I'm going to have in the next year is whatever an E2 reservist in the Marines makes (and that's if I can actually hack it and earn the title, I'm confident though), I've been told that's...

    Red Dot + Side Mount Suggestions

    Hello everyone, I've got a question and I'd like a few suggestions and/or opinions just to get an idea of what brands/models I should be looking at. I'm looking at putting a UTG 2-rail side mount (no Ultimak, don't like plastic) with some type of red dot on my AK74. Problem is I have no idea...

    Stop Shooting before boot?

    So I am in the process of getting all my paperwork squared away for the Marines. I (hopefully) will be shipping for boot in February. I was in the car with my recruiter today and I mentioned that I'd be bringing my rifle down to college with me after Thanksgiving break and asked if he could...

    AK Recoil Buffer

    I saw one of these on GB just a minute ago and I was curious if it might improve my accuracy any. It claims to reduce shockwaves sent throughout the receiver. That should, theoretically, improve accuracy a little bit right? Right now my AK isn't so great, like minute of pizza box, well maybe...

    My next gun?

    So I've been tossing around several possibilities for a while and I can't seem to settle on just one. I don't have much as I'm just starting to buy guns of my own, I turned 20 not too long ago. I don't have the money for any yet but I'm just curious to know what I should be saving for and I'd...

    2 Armed Robberies Close to me, 1 Ineffective Law

    So as some of you may already know I'm a student at Georgia Southern U (sophomore now). I don't have a car so I had to live in an apartment that is on the campus bus route. This limited my choices to places that were within 1k ft of campus which wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a law in GA...

    Price Check: Lightly used Raging Hornet

    Hey I am doing a favor for a relative and pricing several guns in his collection. I have looked everywhere and I cannot find a Taurus Raging Hornet for sale so I need some info on how much a very lightly used (well under 500 rounds) one would sell for. I don't want your opinions on how "Taurus...

    Full auto build, legal?

    I was just browsing gunbroker today when I found a full auto lower receiver to a Sig 551 and it got me thinking. Would it be legal to buy the full auto lower and then finish the gun with parts from compatible semi autos? I don't know and seriously doubt that The Sig 551 lower and 556 upper are...

    Simmons Scopes? Aetec?

    My grandfather has a Ruger Mk77 in .22 hornet with this Simmons Aetec 3-9x scope on it and it is an absolute tack driver. The scope is great, crystal clear, and looks nice to boot. I actually couldn't tell much difference in quality between it and the Leupold he has on his A-Bolt (not sure which...
