    Knight's Armament

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it just occurred to me that I've never seen actual Knight's Armament rifles for sale... I've seen some parts here and there (triggers, pins, rails) but not a full rifle. Are they available for civilian purchase?

    Hoping to get started...

    I'll preface this post by saying that I read the guide stickied at the top and I'm just hoping for a bit more information to get myself going. So! Making my Christmas list about now and I figured a reloading kit would be a good thing to ask for. Priced ~$250 or less, sans components (I'll get...

    California gun help needed...

    Well, first post since I've been back at school in California. Would've been sooner had UPS not destroyed my computer in the shipping process (still being worked out). Glad I didn't ship my rifles with them :P Anyway. As if I don't feel naked enough without my rifles down here, we get word...

    "Good" shooting with irons.

    What's considered good shooting when you're just using iron-sights? Is it normally measured at 100 yards like you would with a scoped rifle, or at a shorter distance?

    Wildalaska, as per your request...

    An ego booster! Wild needs a little cheer-up since his foot hurts (or so he says - I suspect he's just lazy). Here's to an awesome Wildalaska-purchased-Colt shooting outing. Pictures up soon! :D

    Question for LE/Military

    So I was curious - not having been in the LE/Military field, what's the policy on being able to use your own firearms? Say, for instance, I was deployed abroad in the military and I wanted to use my own rifle(s)... Could I have someone back home ship my Colt/AR-10 over to use instead? Same...

    Storing firearms in case(?)

    So I'm going to be going back to college in a few months, and unfortunately I can't take my rifles with me... (It's California, what do you expect :mad:) I'm wondering what to do about storing my rifles for around five months at a time, as I'll be back in December for winter break and I can...

    100y Range Report: Frustration... (Need Help)

    So I finally got another chance to take the AR-10 out to sight in the scope. Needless to say, I was hoping for an easy time. Not so. The thing seems to be shooting relatively straight (not much left/right spread other than user error) but it's shooting *really* low. I'm not talking like...

    Mixing lubricants

    Is this a big deal? I don't mean intentionally making a hybrid mix, but I mean re-lubricating with brand B after having previously used brand A. I currently use Rem-Oil but I just picked up some militec and I'm wondering if it's a no-no to use two different lubricants on top/with each other or...

    Wolf Ammo

    What's the general consensus on it? I remember way back in the day (when I knew very little about anything firearms related) hearing that Wolf was cheap and bad for your gun, yadda yadda, etc etc, and unfortunately that impression has just stuck with me without any substantive basis. It seems...

    If money wasn't an object...

    ...And you could purchase one gun (think of it as your dream gun), what would you get? You can include some extra gear (optics, gunshop work like blueprinting, bipods, whatever...). Keep it in the feasible realm - Class III/NFA is ok, and so are rare (but obtainable) firearms, but you can't...

    Shipping question...

    If I'm shipping a pistol and a rifle to a FFL dealer as a trade on part of a sale, do I need to ship through an FFL dealer, or can I just stick both firearms in a box and 2nd Day them with a copy of my Driver's License after notifying the shipping office of the firearms?

    Review: Command Arms SRS (Image Heavy!)

    So I figured since I haven't seen too many people with my same stock, I would give it a go and review the thing so the rest of you could get a better look at it I have linked some images due to the image number restrictions. Hope this helps... At $399.99, the Command Arms SRS stock is not...

    My first! (Pictures!)

    Well, it's been a long time coming but here, finally, is my first black rifle! Between out-of-stock items and backordered parts it's come together slowly, but the last of them just arrived this past weekend, and here's my completed project in its full glory! Armalite AR-10 A4 with 20''...

    AR-10 loading issue...

    So I took out my new AR-10 to put a few rounds through it yesterday. Started shooting, and before I knew it, I had a jam. Cleared the round, started firing again, and it jammed again. These jams were basically the round not loading all the way and getting caught halfway in the barrel and...

    Breaking in a barrel

    So I'm about ready to break in my new AR-10 and I've read through the instructions they sent with it regarding breaking in a stainless steel barrel. They suggest (this is off the top of my head) roughly 10 single shots followed by cleaning with solvent (Hoppes #9) in between each, then clean in...

    Bigdogammo?

    Anyone had any experience with bigdogammo.com ? Good/bad? Better online ammo retailers that you would recommend instead?

    Hoooooo boy... Newbie question.

    Wow, is this the newbie question to take them all... So... uh... How do you remove the grip from your AR-10? The bottom is hollow and I can't really see too well up into it, but it doesn't look like there's any sort of normal screw in there. I feel stupid :confused:

    Still a bit confused with buffers...

    So I'm just about to pick up my new Armalite AR-10 A4 Rifle, and I want to replace the stock with one of these... http://www.commandarms.com/product.asp?pID=116&cID=57 As far as I know, it looks like you just replace a washer and use the current bolt from your rifle to secure the thing on...
