    77 gr Sierra in AR 15 mag

    I have been shooting 69 grain Sierra match bullets and doing fine, but want to try the 77 grain in my 1:8" twist barrel. However, before I go buy a bunch and find I cannot use them.... what's the experience on the board regarding loading 77 grain bullets deep enough to work out of an AR 15...

    AR15 to 22 LR conversions

    I am looking into the conversion kits to allow an AR15 to fire 22LR (winter is coming and the indoor range is 22LR only). Are these any good and if so, which ones are better and why? Thanks for the info.

    WASR Trigger slap - fix?

    A local gun shop has pretty good prices on Century Arms WASR-10's in 7.62x39. But I got to shoot one and that thing hurt!

    M1A wood stock differences?

    I looked into a new M1A with a wood stock and was surprised at the bulkiness of the stock even in the 'loaded' and 'scout' configurations. Up to now my rifles had synthetic stocks which were much narrower and lighter. I'd like wood, but that 4x4 blocky feeling was a turn-off. Maybe it's good...

    M1A handguard question

    I know this may sound trivial, but before I get into money, I do not want to assume anything. I like wood stocks. I like M1A/M-14s. I do NOT like icky brown handguards. So.... Does Springfield's black stock handguard work with the wood stock? If so, any tips on where to get one? "Loaded"...
