Does anyone have experience with Model 1 Sales' version of the 300Whisper for the AR15? What's their turnaround time these days? Oops, I meant 30-221 in my subject line. ;)

My friend just got his new DPMS "Sportical" in .308 - really nice little rifle! Problem with one of the magazines is that the last 2 cartridges will flip up out of the magazine and get turned crossways to the bolt, of course ruining the case. Sort of like this: -/ Any suggestions? Can...

I've heard of it happening to people all the time, but it's never happened to me.....before now! Fortunately, the whole cartridge ejected without getting stuck in the chamber. Got me wondering what actually causes this to happen. Or rather, what set of conditions cause a broken case? Any...

Finally got all the bugs worked out. It's a custom built FAL. Dan Coonan receiver with Imbel parts kit. I got it and slicked everything up a bit, installed a new action spring set and scope mount. I'm VERY pleased with the accuracy, much better than I expected. I've been shooting my own...

I understand that the "Locking Shoulder" somehow sets headspacing (I guess), but I do not understand how it works. I seems to me that anything that flops around and moves back and forth like that couldn't be very important. Can anyone explain?

I recently traded for a custom-built FAL. It's a Coonan reciever with Imbel parts kit. It seems to be very accurate(much better than I expected) and is in very nice condition. My problem is that most of the time, the bolt carrier fails to completely close over the bolt. It happens when I cycle...

I recently traded for an FAL built on a Coonan receiver with an Imbel parts kit. I shoots straight (MUCH better than I expected), but just seems to have a glitch or two. I took a little of the "shoulder" off the magazines - that helped. I cleaned all the funky stuff out of it that I could...

I have an old 1917 Enfield built by Winchester. The old rifle was "sporterized" years ago and has been drilled and tapped for a scope. The original military stock is long gone, but has a pretty nice walnut Monte Carlo stock. The original barrel in still with it, but all of the original...

Is it possible to rechamber and rebore an AR15 barrel to a 7mm TCU? I know that there is a company that makes an upper assembly in 7mmTCU, but they will not sell only a barrel. The 7mmTCU is based on the 223 Rem case, but I don't know if there is enough meat in the chamber for the change. Has...

I should have my lower reciever next week. Looks like it make take a while to get my upper reciever, perhaps several weeks or months! But that's besides the point.... I'm thinking about barreling mine in 7.62x39, which will be a more useful cartridge to me (around here in Mississippi). How...

I know that that reffers to the Pre-Clinton era ban on "assault weapons". But what makes "pre-ban" parts for the AR's different, or what does that label describe?

I have a friend who has a brother that graciously loaned me his Bushmaster AR15. I have been thinking about getting one or building one, but didn't know if I really wanted one or not. I bought two boxes of shells for it. His AR has a short bull barrel in .223. I can see why folks get so...

Has anyone seen the Aero Precision AR15 recievers? Have any of you seen the Aero Precision recievers for the AR15. I noticed them on AimSurplus while shopping ammo prices. The one they picture looks really nice, and it's stamped or engraved "MULTI" for those of us who are interested in large...

I'm thinking about building an AR15, but I'm new to this. I never was interested in one before I joined this forum several months ago. I never knew until now that there were other calibers available besides .223. I don't have anything against the little .223, but I would have more use for a...

My dad picked up a VERY nice old Marlin lever action 32 Rimfire today at a gunshow. I have found a few importers for some ammo, but he would really like to load his own ammo. I understand that a 32 Colt should chamber in the old rifle, but the rifle will have to have the firing pin converted...

I'm seriously considering taking gunsmith courses. I've poked around the web and found a couple of independant study courses and requested more information. However, are there any 'smiths here that can recommend a good study course?

Do any of you have recommendations, experiences with good variable power handgun scopes. I have a 2x Leupold that is mounted on my TC Encore 308 pistol. I really like it, but would like more magnifaction. I've looked at the Leupold VX's, but BOY are they expensive! I've considered the...

Did any of you notice in this week's "Shotgun News" the completely sporterized Mosin Nagant? I know some of you cringe at the thought of altering from the original, or spending much money on them....but.... that's a damn fine rifle by anyone's standards! Take a look if you can!;)
