    Shedding Some Ounces on the AR

    [/URL][/IMG] Pictured above, a product of a post Sandy Hook parts scarcity and my first AR15 build. I was lucky enough to snag what I though was going to be the last stripped lower receiver available for years! Alone, unafraid and uneducated, I set out with the rest of the black rifle owning...

    US Optics MR10 vs LR17 (1.8-10x vs 3.2-17x)

    I'm finishing up an AR308 build. I've done my homework and have spent some money on quality parts and an 18" JP Supermatch barrel. I've included a brief description of some key parts below. I'm looking in the direction of optics now and am fairly uneducated in terms of "tactical scopes." I have...

    M&P Shield 9 vs FNS-9c

    Looking for a 9mm carry option. After comparing a few single stack front-runners, I've narrowed it down to the Shield with an Apex trigger kit (of course ). I really like my buddies FNS-9, fantastic gun but the FNS-9c caught my eye when it came out as a viable carry option. Easy answer is to...

    Options to blacken a stainless barrel

    Like many others, I would like to get that matte black parkerized look on my stainless barrel. I am ordering a barrel from JP and they offer a teflon finish but after speaking to them they admit that cerakote is more durable. Cerakoting seems like the most simple and cost effective solution...

    Aero Precision M5 Build - Lessons Learned

    First off, a little bit about myself. I consider myself an aspiring gun nut! I have a few AR15 builds under my belt and many more ideas in the works. I am purely a hobbyist and by no means an expert. I do however find value in seeing what works and what doesn't for others in the community. So...

    Anyone have experience with JP .308 barrels?

    Building my first AR10 and trying to work out all the details. I'm looking for an 18" barrel and have stumbled across a few different options. Obviously I would like to get the best accuracy for the buck here. I have an option to buy a slightly used 18" JP barrel with rifle length gas. This...

    S&B 5.56 Brass NOT good for 300BLK

    Just an FYI for those of you that cut down .223 casings to make 300BLK casings. I've had success doing this for a while until I ran into some S&B 5.56x45 brass. Cut it down and went to re-size the casing and found that there was a considerable amount of force required to form the case. The...

    SIG P229 - 9mm or .357Sig?

    Okay, I know I'm opening the great pandora's box of caliber debates here but I haven't been able to find much about the .357Sig. I know the .357Sig is usually compared to the .40S&W but because the swap only requires a barrel change in the P229 I'm not too worried about that. I'm anxiously...

    AR10 High Profile Rail Options

    So I though I had my first .308 AR figured out. I had all of the parts picked out and come to find out that the Seekins SAR rail I wanted to use would not align with my Aero Precision upper which is apparently a high-profile upper. Can anyone make any suggestions for a high profile rail or...

    AR15 Headspace Issue

    Bad day at the range :mad:! I just finished a 300AAC Blackout 9" AR build. Went to sight in an EOTech and play around a little bit. I got through around 10 rounds of reloaded 150gr FMJ's (my own reloads) then my bolt would not go fully into battery. I cleared the rifle and inspected everything...

    AR10 Barrel Length Question

    AR .308 Barrel - Narrowed it down to 2 I'm starting to lay out plans for my first AR10 build and weighing my options for barrel lengths. I will be using a suppressor some of the time so I was looking into a 16" barrel. My question is for those of you that have a 16" AR10, do you ever regret not...

    Aero Precision Ambi Lower Gen2

    Here's a quick review of a fantastic lower receiver for anyone who may be in the market! I'll start off by saying that Aero Precision has one of the best finishes on their lowers. I have a Spikes and a Stag lower and have handled a number of others. None of them are anywhere close. Manufactured...

    Chronograph Suggestions

    So after reloading for a little while, I'd like to actually collect some data on my reloads. I have started reloading 300 blackout subsonics and would like to hone in on around 1000 fps. So I am looking at chronographs...I found a Chrony F1 used for $75. I think this is a fair price considering...

    Sphinx SDP vs. Sig Sauer P229

    I am in the market for a compact handgun and need some advice! I've always said that the Sig Sauer P229 Enhanced Elite would be the next handgun I purchase. There is no doubt it is a fine firearm but I happened to stumble upon a Sphinx SDP Compact article and now I'm torn between the two. Has...
