Team, just bought a new AR without Iron sights. I plan to put an Aimpoint or ELCAN on the rifle. Is it really worth the (often high) cots of a set of back up sights, or should i trust the electronic sights? Thanks.

I had a discussion with an operator whom i greatly respect a few days ago about the right time to do a magazine change. I'll run a scenario past you (which may or may not have occurred- names have been changed to protect the guilty etc) You are in a three vehicle convoy doing a routine run. The...

Team, i have been running what i think i are "middle of the road" loads through my Mod 29- literally half way in the manual. WIth cast bullets, there is still some leading going on, which requires a decent scrub about every 200 rds. Can I always expect leading with a cast bullet, or should I...

http://www.benelliusa.com/rifles/benelli_mr1_self_defense_rifle.php Team, i had an opportunity to try one of the rifles out last night. Its a semi auto carbine that uses the Benelli Inertia system, takes Ar magazines, and seems similier to the Beretta storm. The range was out to 50 metres...

Team ,we are in the middle of the pigeon shooting time of the year and its been great- around 80 -100 birds per day. My Benelli M2 is playing up. I noticed it yesterday. When you load a shell into the magazine, 3 times out of 5 or so the shell will no longer stay in the magazine and go...

Tragically, some moron did a high speed car chase through Auckland firing at the police. When his vehicle was stopped, he emerged and presented a firearm at the police. The Police returned fire, and a stray round hit a bystander killing him. Difficult to see how anything could have prevented...

Team, I have borrowed a M16 bolt and bolt carrier to go into my AR 15 as the DPMS one is at a friends house , who has gone away for the holidays- no bolt, no shooting over Christmas. Fortunatly, I have managed to borrow a M16 bolt- which drops in just fine. Do I need to get the headspace checked?

I've noticed in a lot of threads some comments about this shotgun or that ammo for home defence. While that is of great academic interest to me, here in New Zealand the shooting of home invaders is practically unheard of, and self defence is not a reason to have a firearms licence issued to you...

Tragically, an undercover policeman was shot dead :mad: by a high powered semi automatic air rifle last week- one of those swedish $2000 + Gas bottle jobs. Unsurprisingly the calls went out to ban/restrict/ register whatever these sort of guns by an ignorant media. We had articles on the news...

I am off to a third world country where sidearms are pretty important to stay alive.We will have a security team with us, and long arms as well, but since I usually have carried in a chest rig,this time will be carrying in a thigh holster as we will for the most part be in and out of vehicles...

I think i know the answer to this. I have a converted Ruger 10/22Magnum- Ruger barrel, match trigger, synthetic bolt buffer, heavy cocking handle etc etc. Shoots really well. But barrel is no fully floating- is it worth attacking the stock with sandpaper to clear the barrel from the stock? (...

I really like my Ar15. Serioulsy. It is the best rifle i have ever owned. It prints ting groups all day- and while it did require some gunsmithing, it shoots better than any bolt gun i have owned. But it seems to me that in recent years the populariity of these rifles has just exploded. Guns...

OK, this is a bit random , but bear with me. Are the 20 Gauge 870 and .410 bore 870 burilt on the same frame- i.e. are the parts ( in particular stock and foregrip) interchangable? Anyone?

After my 1100 died (again) during a good nights nightshooting ( 120 rabbits, nice) I have decided it is time to get a new auto 12 Gauge. The gun has to be synthetic (wood guns get battered to death), has to run any sort of ammo I can think of, and be able to cope with about 3-5000 rounds a year...

I can get an ex-Taiwanese M14. Quite original, all the bits. I was wondering if anyone can talk about the quality, and if US made M14 parts fit, as well as springfiled M1A parts. Thanks.

I have just been offered a mint P99. Its NIB , at a very good price ( my mate is having a divorce, and wants the weapon to go to "a good home")> I have admired it for some time, but havent shot it. It may be enough to make a manb sell his Glock. ANy one tried one?

A very proud day for our tiny nation, and I am sure the TFL and SWAT staff will allow me to feel very proud of the army in which I serve::

How do these dohickeys work? Any good? Worth the extra cash? Thanks lads.

Anyone shot one? Pretty keen on buying one, but it would take a lot to make me give up my Glock!

I have a mountain of S&B .410 cases. They are a non-crimped laod, with a cardboard disc at the end of the round that stops all the bits dropping out. You can relaod them, I guess by squashing the plastic flat, but is there an easier way of reusing them , or are they definatly "one offs" which...
