    Worth Sending AR15 Back to Bushmaster?

    I'm pretty sure the barrel on my bushmaster is a bit over torqued. The rear sight is farther off center from the front sight post than it should be, and I've heard from A LOT of guys who have this problem with Bushmaster. The simple fix would be to send it back to Bushmaster, but I'm curious...

    Looking for 2 Point/1 Point Sling

    I'm trying to find a sling for my AR15 that can easily be adjusted from 2 point to 1 point for ambidextrous use, and firing from either shoulder. I would just get a 1 point but don't want to deal with the uncontrolled muzzle issue while running or doing other work where I still want my rifle to...

    Any tips on getting roll pins out of gas block?

    I'm trying to get these pins out of the gas block on my Bushmaster, and let me tell you they are driving me nuts. I'm pry going to just take it to a smith to let him work on it, but I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas. I've tried, penetrating oil, filing the part of the pin thats...

    Would this fit....

    Would this gas block fit anywhere on my barrel, or does it have to be mounted in place of the existing gas block? http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/PRI-Gas-Block-With-Top-Picatinny-Rail-p/pri%2005-075-04%20gas%20block.htm I'd like to set my front sight as far away from the rear BUIS as possible...

    Recommendations on Night Vision

    I'm looking to mount a night vision scope on my AR for some coyotes, fox, coons, and opossum. Under $1000 I need to at least get out to 200 yards. Doesn't really matter what generation.

    Worth free floating 16 inch barrel?

    I'm deciding on a handguard for a Bushmaster. I found one, but with a different one for another 50$, I could free float it. Do you think that would make much difference for a carbine? I'm guessing the furthest I'll be shooting might be a 100-200 yards if I see a wittle wabbit running across...

    How do I clean my brushes?

    Well after about 10 years, and 10000 rounds through my Marlin model 60, I decided I would strip everything apart and give it a very thorough clean. I'm about halfway through, but my scrubber brushes are dirtier than hell. I tried soaking them in hot water, but that didn't do much. Using a...

    Flashlight and Foregrip on AR

    http://www.opsgear.com/Deluxe-Ergonomic-Foregrip-p/lpr-rb-fgrp168.htm Can anyone explain or give me some flashlights that would be compatible with that foregrip. It says it has 2 'pressure pads'. Does that mean I can turn the light on/off by pushing on the pads on the foregrip? And if so...

    What do you know? Ruger SR-556

    I found one of these at Cabelas for 1699$, and then a used one at a local shop for $950, mint condition (or so it seems). It almost sounded too good to be true. Has anyone had any experience with these? They were just released this year I believe, and for all i know they could be a fluke by...

    Rangefinder for under $500

    Well, I was set on Leupold's RX-IV series, but after reading some pretty harsh reviews I'm not so sure any more. What would you recommend? Minimum Range of 1000-1500 yards 8x Magnification would sure be nice (like the leupold) $500.00 tops

    Crimping Die Question

    Would you recommend using a crimping die for a 300 win mag, Ruger 77 (Bolt action)? I've had a friend of mine tell me it is a good idea, as it insures the exact same amount of pressure on each load, but I had someone else tell me, it wouldn't do that, because you don't put the same amount of...

    AR-30 Out of the Box

    Can anyone tell me what the accuracy of this thing is out of the box? Armalite's website just has 1MOA. I'm guessing (and hoping) that thats a pretty conservative number.

    So...Breaking in New Barrel Is a Scam?

    I was just on the SniperCountry website, and seen an interesting article. The author says manufacturers encourage barrel break in only so shooter's have to buy barrels more often. If you clean between every so many shots when breaking a new barrel in (according to this article) it is creating...

    Hornady SST's Shooting Lower than cheap Federal's

    I was just trying out some new ammo. Could anyone explain to me why a 300 win mag sighted in at 200 yards with 180 grain Federal Ammo (Cheap soft point wal-mart) would place 180 Grain Hornady SST's 2 inches lower at the same distance? I would have thought the SST's would have been shooting...

    Using Simple Green as a Bore Cleaner?

    I've heard of a few guys letting their barrel soak in Simple Green for a while and simply using hot water and patches afterwards to leave a darn clean barrel. It almost seems to good to be true. I'm looking for the best bore cleaner I can find. Any thoughts?
