    AK choice, C39V2 or PSA ?

    I've bounced around with getting an AK a few times, usually am frustrated by the price versus quality and was happy enough with a mini 30 as the US made equivalent.. I'm revisiting the topic. I want something a step up from the run of the mill wasr, want a milled reciever, maybe if availability...

    .308/7.62, 16 inch barrel options?

    I'm looking to re-barrel an Aero M5, which is a rifle I tend to reach for regularly - has a 16 inch QPQ currently... There is nothing really wrong with it but basically if it was ever very accurate, it's not anymore, and I want to put a couple spares away for a rainy day. So I'd like to...

    timing barrel nut, what's the right approach here?

    Building my first rifle from scratch, a project I mentioned here prior just getting back around to it.. Basically a carry handle upper, spikes barrel w/ FSB - simple solid iron sight rifle is what I'm going for here.. Greased & worked in the threads, torqued, and the nut timing is just as...

    Tell me about the Glock 20

    I'm not a huge striker pistol fan and those trigger safeties kinda annoy me even, normally want to reach for something metal with a protruding hammer but I have always been intrigued by Glocks, the aftermarket support, the story, the mags. and every time I shoot one I'm impressed.. I really...

    Sight pusher for Sigs?

    Need a sight pusher for a couple full size Sigs, but ideally it would be adaptable for smaller models too.. Haven't actually asked someone at Sig yet, but looks like the tools they used to sell are non longer available, along with some other Sig specific sight pushers.. Any recommendations...

    what is "the right" capacity for a given pistol and how do manufacturers choose it?

    This is something that's probably been covered here before but I just want to bring it up for people to weigh in.. Educate me please. There are some simple real estate considerations, ie you want a smallish carry pistol in .45 it's not going to hold 15 or likely even 8 rounds.. Sure I get...

    What do you guys like for shoulder holsters?

    I've been looking through shoulder holster reviews today, would like to pick something up for my sig 220 .45 (which potentially should fit my 226 & 229 as well).. Basically at the range I'm tired of having to crank a belt down and having it sag my pants, and I'd like to be able to throw my...

    Any opinions on a faxon pencil versus gunner profile?

    Am changing out the barrel on my lightweight AR, basically just tinkering, want to get a faxon pinned flash hider model to be just a little shorter. It's got an aero pencil barrel now, point is a very light carbine - SBR feel that is a legal rifle basically.. Looks like 2.4 ounces difference...

    Lets talk binary triggers, anyone used a fostech echo 2 ?

    Looking at parts for a lower I want to put together, as far as the heart of it Im thinking a binary trigger.. On paper and reviews I like the sound of the echo 2, supposedly prevents over running, works with mil spec BCGs, no special changes for 5.56 etc... Anyone here have warnings or...

    Can carbon sealing gas block leaks make ARs over gassed?

    I put an adjustable gas block on an AR today, kinda a 1st go messing with this stuff. The rifle had been perfect for 2000 rounds then somewhere later exhibited signs of over gassing causing FTE, completely resolved by heavier buffer and spring. A better fix I think is to address the gassing so...

    Anything wrong with a Sig P227 ?

    I'm real interested in getting a .45, started doing my research a bit - I like/prefer Sig, I like their exposed hammer DA/SA w/ decocker setup, and have a 226 & 229 today that I'm fond of.. Upon looking at current models I see options are basically the P220 and that is it (except if you want a...

    Best adjustable gas block for 308 AR ?

    On my list of to do's I'd like to try one. Have a 16 inch mid length that's running OK via heavy spring and buffer but I think reducing gas is probably a better solution. I see a couple highly reccomended but some of the info out there is kinda dated or is geared to other calibers, surpressors...

    Who's chrome lined barrel to pick?

    I have a future build planned where I want to put together a carry handle upper with a 16 inch barrel, in 5.56. There's just not much out there you find in the configuration (20 inch barrels yes but not the shorter ones)... Id like this to be of some quality, not so much for tac driving rather...

    Quality AR iron sights?

    I've got one AR10 I haven't been able to makeup my mind about optics on, it has a flat top with a rail on the gas block. Im thinking of giving it a good quality carry handle sight and a compatible height sight of some quality (ie not a plastic magpul) on the gas block, or just a quality set of...

    1st 12 gauge? 88, 500, 590.. 870, express, etc.. ??

    As my semi auto rifle and handgun collection begins to fill a 3rd safe I'm feeling it's probably time I pickup at least a 12 gauge shotgun.. I do own one shotgun, a 20 gauge, impulse sort of < $200 buy on the used market, nothing fancy but it works and I enjoy it.. We shoot traps a little at...

    Did I join the kaboom club today?

    Please do not try to guess the brand as I don't want this to be bad press in any way for them at this point - I'm intentionally not stating the brand on this rifle. I'll say it's a very reputable brand as far as AR's go and that's what they specialize in - more so than your Ruger's or Smith and...

    What's your favorite site for ammo lately?

    I spent nearly the whole 2 hours of a flight the other day putting together a bulk ammo order of 6 calibers.. The first time I thought I was done at Lucky Gunner it was a > $100 shipping bill.. Eventually landed at Target Sports and hit the free shipping for 80% of my order, which were...

    Always amazed at how hard it is to buy used guns

    It's funny, I average about 80% failure on armslist just attempting to take the basic steps to buy used guns, ie nevermind even negotiating rather just attempting to touch base with, get basic info, and setup a time to meet with sellers. I wonder if there is some protocol I am not aware of...

    What should I look into for a new compact or sub compact carry?

    Hi, The smallest pistol I have is a Taurus PT111 Millennium G2 in 9mm. Although it's nothing fancy I trust it and I like it generally for carrying. I keep it in a soft holster in my front pocket where it's very comfortable and is passively concealed if I'm wearing a jacket - maybe if I move the...
