Curious if anyone routinely uses an ultrasonic cleaner? If so, how happy are you and which one do you use?

I just spent the afternoon cleaning guns and wondering, wondering how often most gu owners clean their guns and how long does it take, rifles and handguns? Do you just clean the barrel and call it done, or disassemble the whole gun and put it in an ultrasonic cleaner?

Other than the FN 5.7, what other common / popular handguns have very high muzzle velocities? (And no your Weatherby 7mm UHV cut down doesn’t count:D )

Biden has been talking up his Semi-auto and high capacity magazine (>10 rounds) grab / registration requirement (my terms, they say $200 tax per gun AND magazine) I’m not linking to link to his site trying to stay in the middle, but there are multiple analyses on the web from the center and...

Maybe in NJ? Heard a discussion about "the maximum allowed hunting (or shooting) range" was so many yards, which seemed a little strange. In Texas and a few other states I'm familiar with, you can't shoot across a property line which gives you an effective max range of 1 Planck length to 20...

There are LGS, big box stores an a few online stores that are selling at or close to pre-COVID prices. If you got such a deal, post it here: What, how many, how $ much and where. Please, just specifics about what you just bought, that's all. I just went into WalMart in Plano TX and got 1000...

I received an email ad for an 80% Glock knock off. https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/256066 Remind me why anyone wants an 80% weapon I could screw up finishing the last 20%.

Just curious. From NON-machinegun pistols, what’s the most number of rounds you’ve shot at 1 time in 1 day?

I have a Daniel Defense.308, and have been trying different ammo’s in it. A few have sometimes required assistance getting the next next round into the chamber. Specifically Federal 168 and 175 about 10-20% of the time and 100% of 140 Wolf (which I won’t be putting back in the gun). The...

I went back to the range and went through 13 different rounds for the .308 as a follow up to prior testing. Federal 168 / 178 / 185 is the clear standard and the Berger 200’s were even better sub MOA, except they have to be manually inserted as they’re too long for the magazine. But the real...

Following the last post where I shot 3 shot groups in calm weather, I tested 8 different models of .308 rounds, each in a group of 10 shot on a windy day. The best 2 (so far) are Federal Gold Match Sierra BTHP 168 and 175 gr rounds seen in the attached pictures. These were shot off a bipod in...

Was looking for something else but ran across 8K rounds at a north Texas Academy this afternoon: Not a 5.56 shooter but it seems like there's more spurts of ammo available at reasonable prices coming out.

One thing that has amazed me during this ammo scare / shortage is how much 6.5 Creedmoor and .50 BMG is available online and at LGS. Considering what some are paying for 5.56 and 9mm, BMG seems a bargain at < $3 / round. Are you finding other calibers that are in adequate supply?

Custom Foam gun case cutouts I have a new Apache hard-shelled gun case for the new .308, which has the ‘punch out’ squares of foam. My Barrett came with a custom foam insert that was an exact fit and much firmer foam. Any idea where I can get a firm, custom foam cutout for the .308’s gun...

I recently purchased a Daniel Defense Hunter in .308. I like how it shoots. Question for you semi experts: With ammo such as Fiocchi or Remington UMC 150 grain, what accuracy in MOA should I expect? 3 hole groups were at 0.92” at 100 yards. How about with Federal Sierra Match 168 gr? 3...

I've had 3 very good experiences in the last 2 weeks, where I walked into 3 different LGS' (or big box gun counter) and found they had *'a little'* ammo in a variety I could use, at MSRP prices, even with reasonable limits. 9mm at Bass Pro, .22 and .308 at Academy and Gunmaster in Plano TX...

Overheard another interesting discussion at LGS, about “Inherently Accurate” rounds. One point was it was solely the shape of the bullet. The other was it was mainly the barrel and forces applied to the bullet. I expect it’s a “total system solution”. Any wizards out there with a learned...

Taking a long trip, the owner of an NFA suppressor and full auto weapon prefers to not take them or leave it in the home gun safe. Can these be left with the owner of other NFA items, a Class 3 FFL or they just have to stay in the safe?

In a weekly survey of ammo at LGS' I've noticed there is a fair amount of steel case ammo available at a relatively low price. Question to you gun wizards is, what's bad about steel case ammo, will it affect the chamber or other part of the gun, or have some other ill effect? Hey for .308 at...

Lots of analogies recently about “bringing an arrow / knife / stick to a gun fight.” If you didn’t have a gun, but felt compelled to engage, what could you bring?
