The title pretty much says it. 1] 16 inch seems short to me - maybe too much power and accuracy loss out to 500 meters. 2] 18, 20, 22 inch seems like they might be ok. 3] 24 inch is too long, un-wieldly. There are plenty of people in here who know more about this than I do; the use of the...

I installed a Redfield 2 piece rail that says it's for a Weaver setup, on a 308 rifle. The picatinny rings I have don't look like they fit quite right so I got a couple Weaver 49196 rings. Do these things look sturdy enough for a 308? They look scrawny to me. I'll be using a 4x scope that...

The title says it. Preferably $50-200 area, clear glass, DURABLE, can take lots of kicks from a 308. Eye relief 3.5" plus, 1 inch. Thanks

Anyone with experience/opinions on Sellier & Bellot handgun range ammo, especially 9mm? The specs on the 9mm look hotter than average. Thanks

Any opinions on 9mm revolvers for ccw SD ? Good brands / models? Any brands / models to avoid? Thanks

I was bored last night so I did a search on ebay for Leupold scopes - I don't need another one, but it's fun to look around for under-priced items. I came across a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5 x20mm that really would be good on my AR, for $110. It's New, about $290 less than what others were going for...

I bought this rifle about 12 years ago for $90 at Walmart. I've got over 5000 rounds through it, and it's very reliable - the only stoppages are from the occasional dud round. A few years ago the rear sight fell off (and wasn't fixable) so I converted it to a scoped rifle using the dovetail...

I bought this pistol new a couple yrs ago. It has intermittently had FTfd,nu stoppages, 21 in all, from early on. 7279 rds. total. Six different brands of ammo, 115g, 124g, different mags, 21 of these FTfd,nu. That is, it's likely the gun itself. Just got back from the range and had 3 more...

I've gone just over 5000 rds. with my DPMS Oracle ar15 ($500 rifle, pencil barrell) and I wanted to see how its accuracy has held up. When I got it a few years ago, after about 100rd. break in, I used 30 rds over six 5 shot groups and averaged the groups. I came up with an average of 1.56" (100...

I've done a lot of shooting, and had a number of various types of stoppages (an M60 double feed which blew open the feed cover and put brass frags in my face was the most exciting), but this squib was something new for me. When I've read about squibs, I more or less assumed that if it happened...

Does "leadhead" mean it's not FMJ, just a copper wash? If it's just a wash, it would lead up a barrel, right? Thanks

My limited knowledge of hollow points is that they tend to be a little more accurate due to the weight distribution of the bullet, and that some are designed to expand inside the target mass. I’ve seen hollow point bullets without any longitudinal slits to facilitate expansion and I assume...

One of the things I like about guns and shooting is that there’s plenty of complications to work through. I've watched number of “Shooting the Bull” YouTube videos on hollow point expansion tests, but I found the one that is linked just below raising a few questions in my mind. In that video...

This assumes the guns are kept clean and well maintained. Is 124g round nose ammo the best ammo for to get reliable functioning in 9mm handguns? I've had a Glock tech tell me 124g is better than 115g. I'm wondering if 115g is a liitle light for cycling, and many HP rounds have a bullet shape...

I picked up a new PT111 G2 yesterday, took it home, field stripped it, got the excess oil off of it ( there was plenty of it), and put it up overnight with the slide locked back, with the two magazines loaded up. This gun has some stout springs so I thought I'd break them in a bit before...

What's the best source for reliable mags for the pt111 G2 and is there such a thing as 15 rd. mags for this gun? Thanks

I was at the range shooting away and suddenly my SA/DA CZp01 doesn't fire when the trigger is pressed. I stop, look at it, the slide is closed, no spent round showing, I rack it, a spent round ejects, a new round gets chambered, and I finish shooting the mag. This has to be a round w/ too...

Is an armorers' tool worth buying? Does it let you do anything easier and better than with run of the mill workshop tools? Any opinions on best one(s) to buy, or which to avoid?

Does putting a removable stock on a Glock (like the one in the Amazon page below) have legal implications that wind up having to buy a license to be legal? On that Amazon page, one question response says it does, but I wonder if that's right...

I'm not a big fan of small 9mm's in terms of reliability, but maybe the lc9s is an exception. Any opinions based on first hand experience ? Thanks
