I have been shopping 7.62/.308 AR-type rifles. I've looked at DPMS, CMMF and a couple of others. So far, I think the Armalite AR-10A4 appeals to me the most. http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=10A4CBF&ReturnUrl=Categories.aspx?Category=f4bd4a13-55d1-41aa-aea0-49488ec48776 I'm...

I took my son to the NRA's National Firearms Museum this summer. I got my photos uploaded. Thought some members who don't get east too much might like to see them. Here's the complete album. 156 photos...

I went to a LGS today that has a range. The looking at their wares and saw a Magnum Research Baby Eagle .45 ACP in their rental counter. I wanted to check it out since this gun is on my kinda-want list. My question is about the slide mounted safety. It's my understand that this works...

My 8th grade son got approval to perform a science project involving firearm(s). Of course, he won't be able to take any guns or ammo to school, but he will be able to show photos and video of his experiment. The problem is, I am having a hard time coming up with a science project that is...

The external extractor on my P220R broke and flew off at my range. I'm assuming it broke since I can't find hide nor hair of it, and it's a known issue. All that's left behind is a nice, clean slot where it went. I reallly don't think I want to send it back to Sig for that (though I will see...

I want to replace the full length guide rod and plug with a standard guide rod and plug. Is it a matter of just swapping them out? Or must I use the full length rod?

I looked to see if this as been covered here and didn't see any previous references to it. http://yubanet.com/usa/Boxer-to-Introduce-Common-Sense-Concealed-Firearms-Act-of-2011.php On its face, this seems doomed to failure. Unlike interstate commerce, the federal government would appear to...

I'm curious about this North Korean pistol. Appears to be a very ornate CZ-75 Kadet with an extended barrel? Something else? Whatever it is, it's a pretty piece. (c) Time Magazine

I would like to consider this gun for purchase but I have not been able to disassemble one to inspect the frame rails. And I cannot find a picture or a useful video online that depicts the inside of the frame. I would like to know if the frame rail channels are merely grooves cut into the...

I spiced up my Colt Commander a bit. Has a nice new flavor. Before After

I think I want to send my new Colt Commander's slide to Novak for new sites. The sights I want require slide alteration. Those of you familiar with Novak's installation service please answer me this: once the slide is milled, does Novak reblue the area that has been altered or the whole slide...

Some ****-hole has nothing better to do...

Friggin' internet. Nothing generates irrational concern like the internet. Nevertheless, I have some concerns about the durability of of my P220's frame and rails. From the reasearch I've done, I've come away with the impression that Sig alloy frame rails wear out rather quickly. Whether...

...and among all the new pistols with extended safeties and glowings sights, I found only one that really called out to me.

I noticed most Sig P220s have "Stainless" rollmarked on the slide. My new P220R Carry, manufactured 11/2009, does not have that roll mark. Is the slide still stainless, or is it carbon steel?

My new Sig Sauer P220R Carry is lubed with a white lubricant. Is this white lithium grease?

Thought a I'd post a pic of my new Sig Sauer P220R Carry. After tons of researching, weighing the good opinions against the bad, and handling and thoroughly inspecting the gun, I decided to go with it. I haven't fired it yet. Hope it treats me right or I'll turn it into an HK45. I got it...

I realy like Sellier and Bellot's ammo. But their sense of geography seems to be a bit off. I checked out their wallpapers on their site and was amused by some of the renderings. The mighty Cape Buffalo hunted by the early American mountain men...

My new CZ pistols. CZ75 Compact 9mm top, CZ83 .380 bottom. The CZ83 is chunky for a .380. But I have big hands and it feels great. And the CZ75 is about as comfortable a gun to hold as you can ask for. After shooting polymer guns for so long, it's nice to have a new auto with a steel frame...

From my forays into other forums, I'm starting to feel like I'm the only one that hasn't had any problems with my 30SF. Mine is a very recent manufacture (Serial NNP***) gun. Mine has a tiny shiny mark on the trigger bar, but there is no depth to it and its not getting worse. In nearly 300...
