    Dry lube for AR15

    I sat through a demo, (Militech I believe) of dry lube for an M4. You apply it to the common lube areas of your AR15 and then heat with a blow dryer or leave it out in the sun to bake, (troops were doing this on top of Humvees,) and you have a lubed weapon with no mess to attract debris. I...

    Dirty barrel

    My Contender 45/70 barrel was filthy after shooting a half a box of Remington 300 grain factory ammo. Is the ammo old, dirty ammo or is this unburnt powder because of the short 14 inch barrel? I don't have the same results with my 44 mag barrel or 17 barrel.

    Sig AR15s any opinions?

    Looked at a Sig ar15 and it felt real nice. Wondering how they compare to Bushmaster and Colt, (the one I looked at was priced right between them.) Any reviews would be appreciated.

    switching calibers, barrel break in?

    I purchased a 40S&W barrel for my 357 sig. Swapped out the barrel and headed to the range. The new barrel would not group. I was horrified with the accuracy. Older gent beside me tells me it's ok, the barrel has to break in. A few mags later the gun actual shoots better and I can hold a decent...

    9mm out of a 40S&W ruins gun

    A guy I know is at the range with his Sig P226 40S&W. He's loading a magazine out of a box of loose rounds and feeds a 9mm into the mag. Somehow the gun fires the 9mm, (I'm surprised it stayed in the chamber.) The barrel is bulged in more then one spot and the slid is damaged. The case is found...

    AR15, build it or buy complet?

    Looking to get into an AR15 for the least amount of $. I'm not as concerned with add on equipment as I am with durability. Basic 16 inch barrel (chrome lined) flat top in 5.56mm. Back up iron sights would be nice. I've been told 4150 steel over 4140, but the base models I've been viewing all...

    Glock Gen 4 backstrap w/beaver tail

    Is there such a thing or is it legend? I've read reviews from last spring with anticipated production and sale by July, but it has come and gone and still none to be found. I'm on the fence and may just go with a GFA. Has anyone tried a Glock backstrap with a beavertail? Is Glock going to...

    Ultrasonic handgun cleaner

    We have one at my work but I've never really warmed up to it. Never felt the need to use it. Others swear by it. Anyone here use one and what are the pros/cons.

    100 years later, the 1911 & 45acp

    Looking around I see several PDs in my area have switched to the 45acp in M&P and some in Glock. With all the newer high speed rounds with higher mag count we've come full circle back to the 45 auto. The Tact units have been begging for a 1911. The State Patrol Swat team finally got issued the...

    140 grain 357 mag, hunting

    Put my new fiber optic sights on the GP100 and I'm considering new ammo to sight it in with. Currently my deer round is the Speer 170 SP. Curious about the various 140 grain offerings, (Federal barnes expander, Hornady leverevolution...) The ballistics look great but I worry about adequate...

    fiber optic sights for hunting

    Sitting in my stand last night with my GP100 I was getting ready for prime time, (last twenty minutes of legal shooting time,) when I found the factory sights difficult to see, the overcast sky wasn't a big help. That night I checked around the internet and the Williams Fire Sights looked real...

    9mm +P, +P+ and NATO

    I have a couple of questions about these loads and I'd appreciate any first hand information. First question is felt recoil between the three loads. I've been told that a Win Ranger +P+ kicks/flips up more then a 40S&W. Can you feel the difference between a 9mm NATO load and a regular 9mm load...

    Cabelas G20 combo

    Just got my Cabelas flyer and they had a G20 10mm with two barrels, standard and a 6inch hunting barrel. Looked interesting. Anyone tried one. Any big velocity or accuracy difference between the 4.6 and 6inch barrel or are they offering the 6inch for states with a minimum barrel length for hunting.

    Handgun mounted lights

    Like you hear your opinions about the durability of different lights. Just observed one come apart while firing on a P229 and I want something that will last.

    Anyone own a 45/70 Contender barrel w/muzzle tamer

    Looking at adding a 45/70 barrel to my collection for the G2. The only barrel you can order is the 14inch with a muzzle tamer and no sights. S&W closed down the custom shop. My question is can I put factory sight on it? I know the holes are there for the rear sight but I didn't know if the front...

    Info on S&W 500 mag

    Got the bug and I'm buying one. I'd like to hear some opinions on barrel length, (can't decide between 6 1/2 and 8 3/4,) and recoil comparison. Favorite loads and reloading cost. Actually any feedback on this gun/cartridge would be appreciated.
