Who makes a good AR and/or pistol cleaning kit? I’m looking for a pre-made kit that will get the job done. Scheels has their own branded kits and I’ve also seen Winchester branded kits as well. Any I should avoid?

I'm looking for a durable, waterproof duffle bag to use as an all-around bag and if need be, a bug out bag. I already have a couple of duffle bags, one is waxed canvas and the other is a Filson bag I got on clearance. The Filson bag is a basic canvas bag and likely made overseas, as opposed to...

I’ve only ever owned 2 used hunting rifles and my other 2 were bought new. I no longer own the hunting rifles but when I had them they were purchased via gunbroker and sent to my FFL. I don’t recall inspecting them at the time because they were listed as safe queens but I did inspect them at...

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38365729 The above article is from 2017. Of course, I don't agree with the article as it relates to gun ownership but it's an interesting case study. I used to live in Japan when my dad was in the military and my mother lives there currently. While it is true...

I plan on making some trips to the range to work on my grip, but my question is in regards to gun etiquette upon arrival. I’ve watched a few videos on the do’ and dont’s when on the range but very little on how to arrive with your gun. Obviously, your weapon should be unloaded. But, is it ok to...

I've read numerous articles regarding AR magazines and that you shouldn't fill them to max capacity to avoid feeding issues or the magazine not seating perfectly in the mag well. So now I only load my 30 round AR mags with 28 rounds. Does this same principle hold true with handguns? My S&W m&p...

I know gun sales have shot through the roof, but dang, Mossberg 590a1's are going for $1000+ on gunbroker.com. I'm assuming Mossberg, and other companies, are working at full capacity to address demand but even my favorite LGS doesn't have any home defense shotguns available, and they're usually...

What do you guys use for shooting gloves? I’m thinking the primary use for me will be for my ar so that I don’t burn my hands on the barrel. I’d like gloves that can take a beating and not fall apart at the seams, but also thin enough that I can use with my pistol. Any brands fit this bill? Any...

I got a call from my LGS a couple days ago to let me know my S&W finally arrived. I'll be picking it up in a couple of days, so i'm pretty excited considering I've waited over 3 months for the thing. My question, this is my first handgun purchase, and outside of a safety class, what upgrades...

I’m in need of a light for my S&W m&p 2.0 but i’m not too familiar with all the brands out there. Aside from Streamlight, are there any other reputable brands out there worth looking into? Or is Streamlight considered the best? Thx

I was at my local Scheels this morning and came across a Winchester 1892 that was being sold as used. Asking price was $1000 and I’m assuming it used to be part of someone’s estate. Either way, it’s chambered in .45 Colt and is a beauty. My question is, how does this lever gun compare to the...

Does anyone know where the current production Winchester 94’s are made? Are these made in Japan by Miroku?

What do you gents think of Mauser rifles? I'm talking about the current iteration of Mauser rifles, not the pre-1945 versions. I gotta say, they make some nice looking bolt-action rifles. Outta my price range, unfortunately, but dang i'd love to own one. How do you rate Mausers to say, the...

Hypothetically speaking, does anyone know the laws surrounding gifting firearms to friends/family in the event you died? My ex-wife is anti-2a, so that’s out of the question and my child is only 7 which is also out of the question. I’m talking specifically about semiautomatic firearms like an...

What brand do you guys use for ar rail covers? I’m specifically looking for m lok compatible rail covers, but there’s tons of brands out there. Magpul would be the obvious choice but am interested in other brands as well. Keep finding more crap I need to buy :)

I ended up returning the Holosun green dot sight I bought a week ago because it simply won’t work for me because of astigmatism. So what are my options and what brands would you recommend? it would appear that a prism sight with an etched reticle is what I’ll need. I’ve read about Primary Arms...

Here’s my silly handgun question of the day, are there any companies that make universal magazines that will work across different brands, or do you have to spend the extra $ and buy the manufacturer magazine? I’m asking because there are companies like Magpul that make ar magazines that will...

I was taking with a woman I know last month about recent events, like the rioting, looting and arson that’s been springing up, and she surprised me when she said she was planning on buying a handgun for self defense. She said that she no longer felt safe and didn’t see things getting better. I...

Does anyone know if there exists a QD swivel mount adapter that allows for full rotation of a QD swivel? I’m currently using a Magpul QDM swivel mount on my Daniel Defense buttstock but it only allows for limited rotation. This causes my sling to sit at an awkward angle when attached. I think...

I wasn’t sure where to put this so here goes. I’m looking for a survival knife that will do well in tactical situations but also for hunting scenarios. In addition to a firearm, a survival knife might be a prudent investment if I’m looking at the big picture. Any recommendations for a decent...
