    Digital subscriptions

    I had a hard copy subscription for many years and switched to digital when the app came out for Android. When I had the hard copy subscription, I was constantly getting offers for reduced subscription prices, but with the digital subscription, it's full price every time. Why is that? I am...

    Ballistic media

    Denny, what was the name of the new ballistic media featured in the magazine an issue or so back? It came up in conversation at the office and that issue is at home on my nightstand. :o

    M1A SOCOM II failing to feed

    I took my SOCOM II out yesterday to try to figure out why it had been failing to feed at my last ACTS match. During the match, it had been ejecting fine, but the bolt wasn't picking up the next round and I had to manually cycle it to feed the next round. I cleaned and lubed it before I took it...

    Who else saw the 5.56 come and go?

    I got an e-mail yesterday from ammoman.com at 6:02 a.m. saying that they had 2008 production M855 5.56mm rounds available for sale again. It was the Serbian stuff from Privi Partisan. So I followed the link, $499 delivered for a case of 1000 in 200 round battle packs, one case being the...

    .22LR conversion kits

    Denny, I know you have been doing a lot of articles lately on how to keep your training regimen up with the bad economy, so how about an article comparing some of the .22LR conversion kits out there for the AR and various pistols?

    DC Council Puts More Restrictions on Gun Owners after Supreme Court Ruling

    This is absurd. The DC Council will just keep throwing up garbage and seeing what sticks in their quest to either ban firearms or regulate them to the point where no one will register one. No other right requires professional instruction to use. And somehow I doubt that DC will be footing the...

    Going into The Conference Center or going back to the forum home page to get in there is getting old.

    The bailout bill and the Fourth Amendment

    Does anyone else here feel uncomfortable about the idea of the government owning thousands of homes? Everytime I think about it, the sign I drive by every morning on my way into work comes to mind, which states that my right to refuse consent to search of my property ends at the fenceline of...

    CNN and Fox report charter jet flight from Alaska, fueling McCain VP speculation

    From Fox News: Finally, it looks like McCain may have done something that can make me vote for him without throwing up in my mouth a little while casting my ballot.

    Counting on a pro-gun organization for help? Don't count on it if you're military.

    Various units in the United States Army have recently put into effect policies requiring all gun owners in those units to register their personally-owned weapons with their units, regardless of the location of those guns. In the past, weapons kept on post or brought onto post ranges had to be...

    Replacing the compensator on an M1A SOCOM II

    Well, I want to change out the combo gas lock front sight/ compensator on my SOCOM with a Vortex flash suppressor. I know exactly what I need to swap out, but all of the gas lock front sights I've seen advertised by SEI and Fulton Armory say that they are for either 22 inch or 18 inch barrels...

    Hey, properly lubing the AR works!

    Who woulda thunk it? :rolleyes: Well, unbeknownst to the unit armorers, I've been cooking up an experiment that will finally answer whether or not the M4 is reliable. Unfortunately, there is an arms room inspection next week, so I had to end it today, but I made sure to take pictures...

    So what did you get for Buy a Gun Day?

    Well, if you didn't know, April 15th is not only tax day, but also Buy a Gun Day. So what did you get? I picked up a Yugo M70B1 model AK-47. I predict this year will be a good one for EBRs.

    What is up with the Springfield Armory website?

    I go there, at every screen it tells me I don't have the Flash 8 plug-in. No kidding, I have Flash 9. I can get into every XD page by telling it that I have the correct Flash player and it will let me pass, but on the rifles and 1911s side, I can't get past the first page. I tried to get to...

    So many issues, so little time

    Denny and Rich, I found 14 issues of SWAT sitting on my kitchen table when I came home from Iraq yesterday to catch up on. Any suggestions on must-read articles that I have to read now before I dive into them more thoroughly when my leave starts in a few weeks?

    Anybody know of a website with good SHOT Show reports for this year? My leave got pushed back a week, so I couldn't go in person. :(

    I want to get a 14.5" AR carbine, and I already have a 16" AR-15. Can I register it as an SBR and then install a 14.5" barrel?
