I bought the XS sight rail/ghost ring sights for my Remlin 336 project. I had the barrel cut down and threaded, and then installed the xs sights. First range outing, it was evident that the front sight was too short. Sent an email to XS, and by the next day I had an email with a tracking...

Apparently democrats are trying to ban silencers now. Interesting, since they are already NFA items how prior owners will be dealt with legally. I wonder if they will refund the tax stamp fee? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-legislation-ban-gun-silencers

I've noticed some pistols have barrels that have a constriction and then a flare on the outside near the muzzle. The popular models that come to mind are 3rd gen Smith and Wesson 9mms, and keltec autos, and I know there are more. What is the purpose of this shape...

If you haven't seen one, it looks like a chopstick with rubber O-rings on each end. Is there a bonafide reason for these o-rings? Twice now, I've had the plug get caught up in the magazine spring, the second time it twisted the bejesus out of the spring. I ordered a new spring, and my...

Did Ruger ever make a .357 Blackhawk with a blued 5.5" barrel? I've found stainless in 5.5", but blued revolvers in that caliber seem to go straight from 4.5" to 6.5" and longer.

Silencerco has recently found a gap in the law, and it seems the BATF has approved the notion that since black powder guns are not legally considered firearms, an integral, non removable silencer that is not capable of being attached to a "firearm" does not require a NFA tax stamp. SUPPOSEDLY...

Looking for opinions on the leupold dual dovetail mounts. Putting together a new rifle, and I really like the look of these mounts, but recently heard that they may not be as secure and some other options creating accuracy issues. I really want a streamlined look, without the giant knobs on...

Forgive me if this has been covered in another thread, or if it seems insensitive or in poor taste. The incident at the zoo last week where the gorilla was killed fascinates me, from a technical perspective. What caliber rifle was used? How many of the zoo employees are trained to use the...

Ok..maybe not a unicorn, but just about as rare in my neck of the woods. The Ruger American Rimfire are hard enough to find, and the threaded barrel version seemed to be unattainable. Until the fine folks at Kinsey's Outdoors let me know they had gotten a couple in stock. They even had good...

Anyone know of a really good one? In a couple different threads the discussion of holster types and body types are being discussed and it reminded me of a conversation I had with the proprietor of a LGS. Said shop has probably 2500 firearms on display and who knows what in the back...

New method of carry?

Perhaps it's because I have lived only in "free" states in the union, I am confused when I read about "Registered" firearms. While NICS may be de facto registration, it's a pretty poor one, simply because many states don't mandate a check on private sales. My question is, which...

While cartridge and pistol design is not in my realm of expertise, I feel like there would be a huge market for what I'm getting ready to describe. In my mind, i see a smallish auto pistol, maybe the size of Rugers LC9. Chambered for a round of .25 but with a modest increase in velocity over...

Wondering if anyone has blackened a stainless revolver, who did it, and what the outcomes looked like. I know robar does it, considering sending them a Sp101 to black-out.

So, I've had a hankering for a new rifle, and after debating with myself for a few weeks, decided to go shopping for one. There are two local establishments I frequent, the first did not have one in stock, the second store had 3 in stock. I asked to look at one, flipped the price tag over, and...

Right now my siminov has the scout scope mount with an eotech mounted on it. I'm going to put the eotech on another rifle, and want to have a low power, long eye relief scope on the scout mount. However, the scout mount is a pretty short little piece of rail. Its not long enough for two rings...

I've read a number of threads referencing this caliber lately, and I'm just not getting it. Are there a lot of moose snipers out there that don't take shots less than 1500 yards? Does it have a practical application other than punching paper at long range? I guess the reason I'm really...

I have the perfect rifle in mind. Its a ruger m77 hawkeye tactical that takes the same 10rd magazines as the GSR. The question is, which would be easier/cheaper/possible? Buying the Hawkeye and modifing it to accept the magazines, or buy the GSR and a hogue stock and hope it fits or can be...

Walked out of a pawn shop with this today, came with one magazine, and I bought two more, because I felt like I got a fair deal and wanted to support my local businessman. Total was $480 and some change for everything. Anyway, its a Para-Ordnance GI LTC.

A friend of mine bought a Russian M44 carbine in 7.62x54 (sure most of you are familiar with that particular firearm), but being of smaller stature was not comfortable with the recoil, and added one of those slip on butt pads. While we were out shooting, I shot his rifle with the pad, and then...
