    Got my first 1911, initial impressions

    I've always wanted a 1911 but never made a move towards one. Well, I was looking to get rid of my AR and stumbled upon a trade for a like new Kimber Custom II with some extras. I'm hooked. I really like the big .45 round and love the ergos of the 1911. I was shooting alongside my XD9 first time...

    Daniel Defense M4V3 For VEPR?

    I have an opportunity to trade my converted VEPR for a DD M4V3. I have experience with both AK and AR platforms and really don't have much of a preference any more. The AK is a lot of fun but since I only target shoot i'm thinking a nice AR would be more practical. What do yall think about...

    .223 Bullet Weight

    My Olympic SUM .223 upper has been doing fine with 55gr ammo but I'm curoius if I can get better accuracy out of a lighter bullet. It's a 20" 1 in 10 twist barrel. I picked up some Fioochi extrema with the 40gr Vmax bullet rated at a crazy 3650fps! I'll give it a shot and see how it shoots. In...

    Anyone else have a Polymer lower?

    I have a 20" Olympic upper with a New Frontier Polymer lower. The gun was a cheap build that i'm really starting to like. Took it to the range and put about 200 hard rds through it. I was able to pull off some sub 1" groups at 100yds with sand bags and a cheap leapers scope. My issue isn't...

    Help me Identify an AR Upper!

    I've been working on a budget AR build after winning a complete Frontier polymer lower for $75. After placing a WTT/WTB add for a complete upper locally, I met with an LEO who traded me an older upper he had for my Kahr PM9. I valued my Kahr at around $525 (even though I only paid $325 for it)...

    VEPR Build!

    Finally finished my build today. Excuse some of the poor pictures. I work weekends and had the last few days off to work on it. It all started as a VEPR MD2 from Atlantic firearms, already 922r converted by red jacket. To complete the "conversion" I modified an ak style hand guard and adapted...

    VEPR conversion?

    Alright, so I love my red jacket Vepr but have decided I don't like the stock Vepr furniture anymore. What I do like are the Galil style AK handguards like the offering by DPH http://dpharms.com/products/ak-47_compliance_parts/galil_style_hand_guards.html From the picture it appears that the...

    My New VEPR MD2

    Hey ya'll, I posted this at the high road also, but then latter realized that this was the forum I already had an account with, lol. I've been contemplating a big gun purchase lately, been looking at ar's, hk's, ak's, etc. I was really leaning towards the AR platform but I've never owned/fired...

    Review of S&W 22A-1

    I don't post much on this forum but I wanted to share my experience with my newest toy. This weekend at the gun show I bought a Smith & Wesson 22A-1. It is a pretty practical gun: polymer frame, 5 1/2 inch bull barrel from the factory, fully adjustable rear sight, top scope rail. There is not...

    Tapco 10/22 stock

    I got mine in the mail this morning. Installation was easy and I was out on the range in no time. Definitely turned a few heads and feels a lot better than the factory stock. Seems like it's pretty well made too.

    Caps not firing

    I took my new Pietta to the range for the first time. The only problem I had was that the caps weren't always firing on the first try. If I retried firing a cylinder after it misfired it would always fire the second time. I am using #10 caps and I'm wondering if maybe that 10's are too small and...

    Automotive Grease

    Hey, guy's I'm new here and just ordered my first bp pistol. Pietta .44 1851 Navy in brass. I've been doing research on the art of firing bp revolvers for quite some time now, so when it finally gets here I think I should be OK. After reading several discussions I have decided to load using...
