How effective is Eezox at preventing rust when applied to black oxide. I am very interested in the ruger scout rifle but I am concerned about the fact it is a blued gun and I will be using it in rough weather.

I recently picked up a remington police 700P LTR 308 and it was not marked with having the x mark pro trigger (it is a 2011 built gun). I called remington and they told me based on the serial number that this gun has the 40X LE trigger, which from what I can tell, is a good thing (more...

I see that CMMG is now offering a complete 308 ar-10 type rifle. THye have been available through CDNN, but a couple have popped up oin gunbroker as well. I am interested in branching out to the AR-10 type rifles, but I cannot find any feedback on the CMMG. Does anyone have any experience...

I have been searching and can't find a complete answer to this question so I thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction. Does anyone know how the trajectory of a 6.8SPC 115 OTM (2500 fps muzzle vel.) compares to a 5.56 62gr m855 round? The reason I am look is I really like the...

I can see the differences in terms of available magnification and illuminated reticles of the VX-R, and I see the VX-r appears to have a 30 mm tube, but what about the quality of the glass. I have read that the VX-3 is actually better glass and the VX-r is more like the VX-2 line of scopes in...

I am looking at a TR20 for my 6.8 AR build and am trying to decide between the amber or green illumination (I definately want the mil dot reticle). I have to order the thing, so I can't look through it before hand. What are the pluses and minuses of both colors. The only accupoint I have...

Does the newer 700P LTR (the police model) have the "fix" that precludes it from discharging when the safety is disengaged. I have actually experienced the safety discharge before (fortunately no one was hurt...always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction) and since having that happened I...

I have a seperate question than my Burris vs. Zeiss one posted earlier. I was looking at the BUrris euro diamond 1-4x24 scope with the German 3P#4 reticle for a 6.8 carbine build and was wondering if anyone ahd any experience with this scope (especially in this role) Thanks Bill

I am thinking of upgrading the current scope (Fullfield II) on my Icon to something more "respectable" :). I am looking at the Zeiss conquest 3-9x40 or the Burris euro diamond (closeout) 3-10x40. I have several fullfield II's and generally like Burris and with the closeouts I can get the euro...

Just got an email from CDNN that had some 3-9x40 scopes from Colt Defense in it. These scopes are supposed to be made in the USA. I know colt never actually makes any of there own scopes. Does anyone know who made these. They are new in the box and marked colt defense so I am assuming they...

I found a used colt 6920 at a local shop for a really good price. Gun doesn't appear to be hardly used at all. However, it does have a strange "splotchy appearance on once side of the barrel. It does not appear rust, rather a mottled discoloration where the parkerized finish is sort of...

Does anyone know if a complete glock 37 slide will fit on a 17 or 22 frame and function? Or are the other differences in those pistols besides magazines and slides?

I am interested in both of these items uppers they make and was wondering if anyone has any real world experience with them? Spikes seems to be the only comany that I know of where you can get the 6.8 bolt on an actual m16 carrier. Also looking at the .22lr upper, but I have heard that it...

Besides the fact that the C3 is submersible to 15 ft vs. 115ft for the ML3, what are the differences between these two sights?

I have a question concerning the larue aimpoint mount. I want to put the ML3 on my daniel defense DDm4v3 and with the fixed rear sight, I would like a lower 1/3 co-witness. Which larue mount do I want as the stand appears to be an absolute co-witness. Also, as I have never had an aimpoint...

I understand that the conversion kit does not lock the slide back on the last round....so my question is does this have some way to protect the chamber and firing pin from damage as you inevitabley will do some inadvertant "dry fire" when using this (i.e. magazine is empty and I lost count of...

OK, I have a new lower that I just got from LMT that has a bit of "flaking" (or scratching) around the foward pin holes. I think the upper that was on it was a little tight (LMT upper) and it was "grinding" offa little finish when put on (or removed).. It just got me wondering about the...

I have a buddy that dropped his m4gery and he said the front sight is now canted. I think the problem resulted from his staking job on the FSB (I believe he removed it and reinstalled to put on his rail). Anyway, I have only really had colts, daniel defense, and other top tier ARs that are...

Ok, I ahve a question for someone less "metalurgically challenged" members of the forum. It seems that AR receivers (at least all the good ones) are made from 7075 T6 forgings while most railed handguards, sights, and other accessories are machined from 6061. I know that 7075 is much harder...

I am thinking about picking up a Sig 522 and I would definately want iron sights on the gun. I am thinking about the midwest industries' front sight and then an ar rear to match. One question I have though is how hard will it be to get the gun zeroed at say 50 yards? Those sights are going to...
