I have built a nice AR with all high end parts. All in all I have out about 1600 into this guy (put a pic below). I was thinking of making my last addition to it. Since I have kind of modeled after an SASS, I was thinking replacing the A2 stock might look cool. Since MAGPUL's PRS has an...

Out of the models in the MAC family, which is the best to choose when building from parts kits & and weld receiver parts? Which has the most parts available? Which is just better in general? Was looking into a build and didn't know which model to shoot for.

I have an AR with a 20" barrel and a 6.5-20x 50mm scope. My gun club has a 100 yd range and a 600 yd range (with lines at 200, 300, and 600 yards). I want to get a spotting scope so that I can use the longer of the 2 ranges. I don't want to spend over $150 if at all possible. What would you...

My friend from college lives in the North Bethesda, MD area. He inherited an old over under 12g from his grandfather. My friend is not too knowledgeable about firearms, but wants to get his grandfather's gun back to working order. Apparently one of the chambers is not functioning / the shell...

I thought having the ladder style rail covers like these http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=795772match my a2 stock would look good. what color is a standard A2 stock? I see covers available in beige, olive drab, coyote brown, foliage green, flat dark earth, and combat beige...

I have all of the parts and now I want to find a good gun smith who will do this at a decent price. I live in MA. Anyone know a good AR guy close by?

I am heading to my buddies place to do some shooting on his large piece of property. I was thinking of grabbing some scrap steel from work to test out the power of some of our rifles. I would like to see what the rounds would be able to penetrate. We will be shooting .223, 7.62 x 39, and .308...

I need to buy a gun safe. My parents are making me install one now that I have moved home and have some rifles. I personally think it is a good idea for obvious reasons as well. I am a little low on funds. What do you guys think about this Sentry 5 gun safe. I know it is better than a gun...

I have a stripped A3 upper, YHM 20" barrel, and other parts coming in shortly. I will soon be assembling these. All of the upper exploded diagrams I can find depict the old style handguards and A2 upper. What other parts will I need to assemble this upper besides the gas block, gas tube, and...

I am building an AR for my 600 yard range at my club. I just got my hand on a 20" YHM fluted and threaded bull barrel. I want to put a brake on it. I like brakes like the tromix shark brake, but think aggressive brakes may be better suited for CQG. Would an aggressive brake be out of place on a...

I am headed to the 200 and 300 yard range tomorrow at my gun club. My local shop doesn't sell 200 yard or 300 yard targets. I was wondering if someone had either some CAD files or even just a picture, with basic dimensions, that I could scale in auto cad, that would be great. I can plot them up...

The NRA rifle honoring Palin

It is annoying being a gun owner and living in Massachusetts. The paper is always littered with future bills that will outlaw deadly "assault rifles" that are often described as automatic weapons in the paper. Today's Boston Globe talks about how people are upset and scared that police officers...

I remember a few years ago that my dad had told me this awesome story. Supposedly some documents had been declassified after the cold war. In these documents was a story that was pretty funny. Apparently a German tank unit was conducting an exercise near the French border. They became lost and...

I need to purchase a safe of some sort in the near future. My dad is a Cop, so he is very anal about keeping guns as secure as possible. I am on a limited budget. Do I need a safe like this? Or will a cabinet like in the second link suffice? Either of them would be in my basement and bolted to...

I have a 1x red dot on my CETME. I just joined a gun club that has a 600 yd range with firing lines on 200, 300 and 600 yards. Since I have never shot 200 yards until last week, I was not aware that maginfied optics are 100% needed. I was wondering if i should shell out 100 bucks or more for a...

What sites offer police and or military discounts for AR parts?

I just purchased a YHM A3 upper receiver. It is stripped, so I have to purchase and install the forward assist and ejection port cover myself. I noticed most sites have the tear drop and round forward assist. Which is preferred and why? Does any one have pics of the tear drop on an A3? What does...

Any one else getting really sick of the news showing the "guns that are coming from America" to Mexico, but having the media show hand grenades and M16's with M203's on them?

Here is my CETME after custom made stock, new handguard, and KRYLON paint job
