Bought a Ruger SFAR 16" in 308 today. I've been looking at them since they came out. Price was a bit of turn-off. I recall PSA AR-10s pre pandemic for about $525 so the $1000+ tag was a bit steep. I paid $800 out the door for one (2022 model) with maybe 20rds though it. It still has assembly...

Would you buy powder or primers first? Which one would you wait for a better deal down the road? I'm new to reloading .308 so I looking to buy supplies now before stuff gets crazier.

I'm looking to utilize the 1000yd range next time I'm in El Paso, but I can't find much info on the range. Has anyone recently gone to this range that has some tips before I just show up? I'm out of state (from Texas) so I think I read there's some light permit duties to attend to before going...

I bought a FEG GKK 45 without sights. Easy order from Numrich and I have them. What's the best way to install front sights? They're not dovetailed. There's just a recess for them that doesn't go all the way through the slide. I don't see any stake marks from before. The rear is a dovetail with...

Just picked up a Gen 4 Glock 34 and noticed that the frame, barrel, and slide are all made in the US. Now I'm all for stuff made in the USA, but I'm kind of leery of high-quality legacy import brands that move production to the US like Toyota and Sig Sauer. Has anyone noticed anything better...

Looking at a Beretta 92FS with a simunition barrel. Any reason I wouldn't be able to replace the barrel and run regular 9mm through it? Not too familiar on how the conversions work.

Winchester has a rebate currently for rifle ammo. I bought a police trade-in Rem 700 LTR (actually 2...) in .308 and want to run them through the paces. What kind of accuracy differences might I see with 175gr M118 and 168gr GMM?

Why didn't the P228/P229 take off in popularity like the P226? Was it too early for the concealed carry game? Lots of LEO surplus P226 in 9 and .40 and lately P229 E2 in .40. Seems like the P228 was overlooked for some reason. I'd like a surplus one but they're almost non-existent on the...

Bought 2 boxes of .308 168gr GMMK to test out a Remington 700 LTR I just bought. Boxes were not secured well in the box and the tips of most of the bullets are flattened a little. Some have a bit of a curl I can feel with my fingernail. How big of a deal is this? I took the best pictures I...

Just picked up a 887 Tactical for $270 ($250 plus tax). I'd like to hear opinions from those who have actually owned and/or used them. My shotgun predates the recall range.

I have a Kahr P9 that used to be my carry gun. I'm considering carrying it again, but would like a better trigger. There's no safety so I'd like to keep around the same weight, just reduce the slop. Anyone done this?

$100 rebate currently on them. Looks like a refined Keltec KSG and them some. Thoughts?

Found a Rogak P-18 in a local pawn shop today. For those unfamiliar with it, Forgotten Weapons did a special on it. It's basically an unlicensed Steyr GB copy. They were asking 450 for it. Came with 2 mags. I thought about adding it to my "Odds and Ends" collection, but passed.

Anyone order a CMP Garand lately? Especially Rack Grade. Seeing what they're like these days.

Picked up a nice M1898 Bayonet for the German Model 98. The wood grips are missing but the hardware is all there. Any idea where I might find grips? Nice reproduction grips would be acceptable too.

I get that some (most?) quality ones are hollow ground. Seems like a tight fitting regular flat head should be just fine.

I bought a Rock-Ola M1 Carbine with a tapped scope mount. I'm in the process of putting this back to stock (or as close as possible). Any suggestion would be helpful. The stock has been cut to fit the mount and the butt plate has been replaced with a Pachmayr rubber one. Appears to be quite...

I came across some odd magazines. Normally I'm pretty good about figuring out what they go to. I can find almost zero information on these. I have 2 of each. One is marked "PT DTA CAL. 9mm - MADE IN BRAZIL" Other "PT2011 CAL. 9mm - MADE IN BRAZIL" They appear to be the same magazine and are...

Does Kahr make them in house? I picked up some Wilson Combat 1911 Stainless mags and the metal and spine welds look super close to those on a Kahr mag.

I've been collecting brass I've shot for the last 15 years or so. I pick it up because one day I might get into reloading. I never get around to it. With all the hoopla is this a good time to sell some of it off? Or are the other components the limiting reactant here?
