This is probably a question for our resident metallurgists. Lots of materials will erode or degrade over time. Is the same true for gun barrels, bolts, etc.? In other words, does long-term rifle storage in a safe or case lead to a breakdown of the metals or components of a rifle? Thanks, all!

Alright, I need a little help finding something that may not exist. I went shooting with my dad yesterday and he brought his M1 Garand. He's getting older and was having a lot of difficulty loading the clip into the rifle. I'm not too familiar with the M1 but even I thought it was really tough...

For a long time I've carried and relied on a 9mm pistol for home defense. But in the last couple years I've spent much more time shooting and equipping my rifles. I hear a lot about "overpenetration" worries when it comes to a rifle, particularly in a neighborhood setting. Do any of you guys...

So I brought my PPQ to the range a couple days ago and noticed when I was cleaning it that the rear sights wiggle. I checked online and the consensus seems to be that this is normal. Does anyone have any experience with PPQs with the stock sights? If so, do they hold up over the long-term...

Okay, I have a PPQ that I generally carry in my edc bag. But I'm looking for a good, quality holster. I'm looking for comfort more than anything. I'm open to IWB or OWB. I purchased a Foebus holster and it's no good. It's an OWB VPQ model (I think). About a third of the time I'm drawing it pulls...

I've got a 5.11 PUSH bag and I like it. It's getting old and I'm looking for a replacement. I could get another one but was wondering if anyone has any experience with other EDC bags. Thanks.

Just saw this picture online and was wondering what kind of gas system the guy on the left was running. Anyone know?

Just a quick question: would it be possible to use a suppressor on a carbine with a 14.5 pinned/welded muzzle device? I've heard that you have to remove the crush washer from the muzzle device to use a suppressor.

I'm taking an AR-15/M4 armorer's course in a few weeks. Anyone know of anything I should know/prepare for in advance? Thanks!

Looks like SA is entering the black rifle market: http://soldiersystems.net/2016/11/01/springfield-armory-introduces-the-saint-rifle/

Okay, this may be a really broad question. Maybe too broad. But does anyone know what it would take to open a gun range? I'm thinking indoor, 20+ lanes, a minimum of 25 yds. Other than finding a site, building the range, etc. I'm just curious what laws, fees, start-up costs one might expect...

I was reading in the October issue of America's 1st Freedom that there is legislation in the works (or already passed) that would require gunsmiths to get a license to import/export military materials. It would cost lots in registration and fees. Does anyone know 1) if this applies to people...

I've seen a couple threads with little comments about Federal bulk ammo. I've got some of the Federal in the 420 round ammo cans. Do people not consider this good quality? I'm just curious because I always thought the Lake City Federal ammo was good stuff.

I know this dead horse has been beaten repeatedly. But...here goes... I'm getting a new firearm this weekend and it's between the Glock 19 and Walther PPQ. I've fired both and am leaning toward the Walther. I know the G19 is going to have more aftermarket accessories and magazines are less...

So I contacted one of the more prominent AR15 manufacturers and asked them what parts would be different from their semi and full-auto rifles, other than the fact that one is full-auto. I assume they use the same bcg, buffer, buffer spring, lower parts. They informed me that they weren't at...

I have a somewhat stupid question, but if you're zeroing an optic (Aimpoint micro or EOTech) can you zero it one time and would it be as accurate if you switch rifles? For example, you zero the optic on a 14.5 and then put it on a 16. Would it hold it's zero?

HK VP9. I got it a few months ago and noticed when I shoot it it shoots low. My groups are good, just about a good 12 inches low of point of aim. I first thought it was a bad day. But I went back, same thing. Went back again, same thing. I've never had this problem before and am not sure what to...

I'm in the market for a new rifle. I've got a DD M4A1, V3, and V5. I'm looking for something a little different and I've narrowed it down to two choices: a BCM Jack carbine and a DDMk18 pistol (while I wait for the BATFE paperwork). I like the Jack because I don't have a keymod rail and...

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but I was thinking about switching lubes. I currently us Breakfree CLP and was thinking about going with SLIP2000. Do I really need to clean all the old CLP off before applying the SLIP2000? Also, is SLIP2000 is good as they say? I tried a little that came...

Hey, guys. I've got a question. I'm looking at getting a DD MK18 and was advised to look into a trust. Is a firearms trust specifically for NFA items or would it cover all firearms I've owned up to this point?
