I'm building an ultralight AR in .308 and need to figure out what buffer would be best for it. I have very little experience with the AR platform and need to understand how to balance an adjustable gas system with a lightweight BCG and choice of buffer. Important facts: * I'm planning on a...

I'm going to buy a new S&W 69 and I'd like it to have a decent trigger. What should I do? (please read the "catch" below before commenting, because it's important). * Get the work done by the S&W performance center from the factory? (what is the exact difference between the "combat revolver"...

TL;DR; I have two types of factory ammunition. One shoots great. The other shoots bad groups with a point of impact radically to the right (10" right at 100 yds and 6" groups). The bad ammo is loaded with the very cost effective Barry's 350gr plated bullet, which is exactly the bullet I was...
