OK, I will frame this by stating that I do not ahve a single DI Ar-15 weapon currently. It has been quite awhile since I have fired a DI ar-15 weapon. I do have some piston ar's and some none ar 556 weapons, but none are DI. I am curious about a conversation I heard in the gunstore today (I...

Looking at possibly buying a 556 to be something different than the ar's I have. Anyway, I have been trying to research them and most of what I have read is positive, but I am curious about a couple isssues that I noticed. I am mainly looking at the 556 classic with rotary diopter. 1) It...

Is the 9mm HK USP smaller than the 45 version? Or are they essentially the same size? Bill

Perhaps someone with a tapered barrel mark iii can help me out. I have a pretty new one that doesn't have many rounds through it. The pinned front sight has a very slight amount of play in it. Itmay be from the factory, but I just noticed it. Anyway, could you tell me if yours wobbles a bit...

Anyone ahve experience with the CMMG dedicated 22lr upper? I am not talking about the kit but the purpose built upper (designed around the conversion kit). Realiability? Picky with Ammo?

Both of these companies make a "target" 308 with a SS HB and laminated target stock that falls within my price range (the savage with the same is more expensive). Which would you rather have and why?

I have always steered clear of ruger rifles for a couple reasons...one was a terrible factory trigger and the other was mediocre accuracy. However, I have kind of fallen in love with a ruger compact hawkeye in 308 (SS w/ Lam). It feels great and would be a perfect light carry rifle for the...

Anyone have one of these? I am interested in getting one as a sort of "cute rifle" to mess around with. I don't have anything chambered in 7.62x39 anymore (dumped the ak's awhile ago) and I thought it might make a fun little gun to shoot...not to mention the wife could handle the recoil better...

Looking at getting one or the other in 270. The Tikka is about $150 more. I prefer stainless and laminate, but don't like polymer trigger guards. I figure them both to be accurate. Which would you take and why? Is the tikka trigger guard substantial or flimsy? What say you?

I am picking up an 870 police magnum and I wanted to get a vr express barrel for it (for the occasional clay shoot). I want to have it parkerized to match the 870p's finish.. 1) is this doable? 2) if it will work, who offers the best parkerizing service for the best dollar?

OK, this may seem like a silly question, but can wingmaster and express barrels also be used on an 870 Police magnum? I ask this because I am potentially getting one or more and want to know if I can swap the barrels as I will be selling my only "field barreled" shotgun. I don't shoot clays...

Will a midlength gas system actually have more barrel life than a carbine? I overheard a conversation to this effect in the local gun shop with the arguement going towards a midlength gas system having a longer barrel life. I am sure it would prolong the parts life of the bolt, but not sure on...

OK, I have an XD9 subcompact that I bought for wintertime carry (vs. LCP in the summer) and am curious how much veolivity I will lose over the factory rated velocities of particular defensive ammo. Does the same rough 50-75 FPS apply that applies in rifles?

Ok, I have considered getting an lwrc m6a2 and I have a question or two. How do they compare quality wise to a top shelf DI gunlike colt? Also, do theey suffer from carrier tilt like other piston guns.

Question....do BCM regular uppers come with plastic handguards or do you have to purchase them separately?

Ok, I have a few ar's, all from top tier makers (mostly colt). What is the deal with cold hammer forged barrels. What is the main difference between that and a mil-spec barrel on a colt? What are the advantages? Better accuracy? Longevity? Other?

Ok, I hate to do another versus thread, but here goes... How do Daniel defense stack up against colt? It is apparently built to full milspec like colt (mpi barrel & bolt, etc). I know that they haven't been around long, but they seem to know what they are doing. I ask because I have...

Anyone use the one piece talley rings/bases combo? I like the idea of a one piece unit, but I thought I would get some input first.

Looking to get a new ar, but I want something different than a 6920. I prefer colt or lmt. I like the colt hbar full length w/ compensator. However, it does not have a flat top for optics. Thoughts? Are "commercial" colts as well built as the LE models?

My father is wanting a new rifle and is looking at the model 70 that FN/Winchester is now making in South Carolina. Any experience with these? I have read a few things that say the accuracy is improved from previous versions. Is this true? I have had mixed results in the accuracy department...
