    Anyone know if the ATF is still processing transfers? Or has the virus turned a year wait into 18 months?

    Red dots on pistols

    I recently bought a Glock 34 MOS gen 5. I mounted a trijicon SRO with a CHPS mounting plate and had extra tall Dawson Precision sights mounted. My intention is to shoot the Carry Optics division of USPSA when things warm up and matches resume. So far I have only shot this pistol once at an...

    A year with the SCAR 16s

    I got my SCAR about 10 years ago. I picked up a AAC Mini-4 suppressor for it. I joined the FN forums to learn more about it... Time passed... I never really fell in love with the SCAR like I thought I would. I already had two AR15's and there was something about the SCAR that kept me from...

    Inherited a Remington 3200

    My stepfather passed away and I wound up with his 3200 special trap. It seems like a nice shotgun, he had the barrels ported and double release triggers installed. That is a hang up for me, I have no use for release triggers. how hard / expensive is it to get regular triggers put into one of...

    Roller delayed a thing of the past?

    I was wondering when exactly roller delayed blowback designs went by the wayside? HK still makes the MP5 and some companies make clones of HK designs (such as PTR). But I cannot think of any newish rifles or light machineguns that have used roller delay. Aside from the Sig 510 and CETME, I...

    18" BCM awesomeness

    A friend and I are always trading guns. Last year I got a Colt 6920 for some surplus .30-06 ammo. Just last week I traded a MP5 pistol for some cash and a BCM 18" upper that he wasn't using. So I put a SSA trigger in the 6920, slapped the BCM upper on it and mounted a Trijicon Accupower 1-8...

    BFS III for HK range experience

    I preordered my BFS trigger pack when it was first announced. I did not play with it much when I first got it. I test fired it in my SBR MP5 and put it away. Yesterday was the second time I have actually used it. In the MP5 the BFS offers a quick second shot. While shooting at a silhouette...

    Dirty rifles

    After reading the necrothread about proper lube of an AR I started thinking about the utter neglect of rifles. I recall reading the article about the "filthy #14" that had 30,000+ rounds through it with only one cleaning. It goes against my nature to let a rifle go that long without cleaning...

    Sig vs Glock

    Not the typical which is better thread. I currently own two P226 and one Glock 26 (sold all the .40's 22, 23, 24c). I like the Sigs better. The way they feel in my hand, the way they point... the P226 is just the handgun for me. Except I shoot Glocks better. With my little 26 I can...

    Good solvent for plastic fowling?

    15 years ago my dad gave me a NEF rifled 20 gauge. Since then it's been passed around the family for everyone's first deer gun. The gun came back to me recently. There is a great deal of plastic in the rifling from all the sabot slugs that have been down it's pipe. I have tried cleaning...

    suppressor mount release agent

    I have a AAC 51t Brakeout on my SCAR. On more than one occasion I have shot 100+ rounds then set the rifle aside to cool off. By the time it is cool the suppressor is welded to the mount with crud. Has anyone experimented with any high temp lubricants to prevent this kind of thing? I...

    disposal of bad out of spec rounds

    I cleaned my reloading room out last month. Under the table and behind some things I found a box marked NFG with a lot of bad .223 ammo. This stuff is several years old and its a mix of wrong OAL, improper case resize, bullet / powder combinations that didn't work well... So even though...

    Consistent end cap strikes

    I have an old AWC 3 lug suppressor. It has the SCRC screw on locking ring mount. Got it for $50 + tax. It seems be ever so slightly out of alignment. I get light end cap strikes every so often. always in the same spot no mater how the can is clocked with the muzzle. The bullet just...

    Left hand / Weak hand / non dominant

    I spent last fri - sun at a carbine class. (Costa) It was the level 1 basic carbine. During the barricade drills we were shooting from a number of improvised kneeling and urban prone positions. There were a few spots where folks were really contorting themselves to shoot from the left...

    stupid question time... silver bullets?

    So I'm talking with a friend of mine about mythical monsters and he asked me "Just how hard would it be to make silver bullets for killing werewolves?" Now I know next to nothing about metallurgy and casting bullets. I don't think silver would be a good choice for a bullet but I honestly...

    How to clean an AK

    Here is a video demonstrating some valuable tips on how to keep an AK clean. https://youtu.be/0CNmXhRZc6E I have owned three AKs in the last 12 years. All were Romanian. One of them, a WASR 10 I never cleaned or lubricated. I would wipe rust off the outside and that was it. I shot it...

    Bad habits can get you killed

    I was taking a carbine class a two years ago. At one point we were shooting the 1-2-3-4-5 drill weak handed from behind cover. The instructor pointed out to me that when I would finish the drill, I would step out from behind cover to peer at the targets. I had gotten in the habit of...
