I plan to celebrate the repeal of Alabama's SBR prohibition shortly after Christmas this year, and I now find myself in a bit of a dilemma. What I do know is that my SBR will be based on the AR platform. What I don't know is what cartridge I want to go with. I already have a .308 suppressor, so...

I'm trying to conduct a little bit of market research for myself and another gear maker who specializes in Comm Bloc weapons. So, who carries or shoots Comm Bloc pistols, and would you buy affordable, good quality gear for it/ them? I recently picked up a CZ 82 and I REALLY like the feel of...

At least that is what I'm calling it. Why? If you insist on a logical answer, you probably won't get one from me. I just wanted to. I've seen it done, and I wanted to give it a shot. I rarely had any troble concealing the 23, but it would print at times. That is all but completely eliminated...

I have a very simple question/ favor for you guys that may have a Gen 4 Glock in 9mm or .40 cal... Is the Gen 4 slide or frame slightly wider than a Gen 3? I've read enough to suspect this may be the case, but I can't confirm it. Would anyone mind making a couple of quick measurements for me to...

I have some spare cash at the moment and I'm all AR and bolt gunned out. I hav decided that I want a new platform to play with, and I'm pretty sure the AK is where I want to go. Outside of that, I don't really know jack about AK's. Here are my must haves... 223/ 5.56- I'm already heavily...

Today I happened into a local pawn shop just to kill some time, and I saw what I thought was a 1903 Springfield (sporterized... quite poorly unfornately) on the rack. I asked the gentleman behind the counter to look at it and he replied with "that ain't a '03, that just an old 7mm Mauser." So I...

Hey guys, I've come to the experts to borrow some knowledge and expertise. A friend dropped off 80# of lead ingots and molded bullets the other day, and since I had been teetering with the idea of casting, that pushed me over the edge. I plan to load mostly for my Taurus PT1911 as I have a...

Hey guys... I'm in need of some help. A while back I got a steal on a M96 Swede Mauser. I love the rifle, and love the 6.5x55 chambering even more. The problem is that for me to really use this rifle, I want it scoped, and I truly hate to do that to it since it is all matching with a perfect...

After paying ridiculous amounts of cash for good kydex holsters, I bit the bullet and invested in the necessary tools, equipment and supplies to make my own. This weekend, my efforts finally paid off, and here are my first two holsters: (the OD green holds a Glock 21SF with attached TLR-1, and...

I purchased my 308 suppressor today and have now began the waiting game. In the meantime I would like to go ahead and roll up a few subsonic loads, particularly in 308 and 223. Most of the information I have found online suggest Red Dot, Titegroup, and especially Trail Boss for such ventures. I...

Hello All! Hopefully I will be going Monday to put down my cash and begin the purchase process on a .308 suppressor. I'm getting it from Rock Creek Guns (Nick Hope) in Birmingham, AL. This suppressor will primarily be used on my 700's, a DPMS LR-308, and a couple of AR's (I was told that a 308...

I will be shooting in my first ever Precision Rifle Match next weekend (35 rd match ranging from 300-500 yds) and I haven't been able to really get out and dope my rifle(s) at any decent range until today. I also just got a new iPhone last week and I ended up buying the Knight's Armament Co...

A few months ago I decided that I wanted a nice precision Remington, so I sold off a couple of my Savages to finance the new project. I ended up getting the SPS Tactical 20" 308, and I also ordered a Manners T4 stock to go with the rifle. Well my stock arrived yesterday so I got it all put...

I took my 336 out to the range to make sure it is still zeroed for deer season and discovered a disconcerting issue. With a cold barrel, it was shooting POA/POI, but through five strings of fire any subsequent shots were between 2-3 inches low at 100 yds. Usually the second and third shots would...

I made it to the Gun Show in Birmingham this afternoon, and the first table I visited is a company that specializes in AR parts and accessories, and a few mil-surp odds and ends. Their prices are usually on the higher end fair, but I just about hit the floor when I saw the first pricetag. They...

I haven't taken my LR308 (26" fluted bull, stock trigger, Leupold 3-9x50 duplex) out in quite sometime, so I dug it out from the back of the safe this morning before leaving for the range. I saved it for last, after tinkering with my 30-06 and 308 bolt guns, and zeroing my 30-30 for hunting...

Hey guys... I'm getting a Remington 673 in 6.5 Rem Mag for Christmas this year (actually picking it up Sunday, just can't "have" it until Christmas) and I'm planning on getting some rounds loaded beforehand. Any help on proven/ pet loads would be GREAT... I've got a few manuals, but I like first...

I am finishing off the last few pages of Terror at Beslan by John Giduck, and I felt that this might be a great place to plug the book, since many here are interested in self preservation and defending their friends family and country. EVERYONE should read this book, despite the fact that it is...

I have been wanting/ needing a "hunting rifle" for a while now to give me a break from all of my heavy barrel guns. But I also wanted something unique, and a unique cartridge as well. I had decided on the CZ 550FS in 6.5x55, but the money was a little much for one of those guys. So last night I...

Hello Everyone... I know guys are always curious about new barrels/ barrel makers, and I recently tried a McGowen SS Select Match 30-06 barrel for a Savage action. The barrel is standard Savage Varmint contour, 26" 1-10" twist. I installed it a few weeks ago and finally got it out to the range...
