http://bearingarms.com/baby-can-change-beretta-attempts-win-mhs-contract-derailing/ What does everyone think the odds are that Beretta will release a M9A3 "G model" (decocker only) for civilian purchase? I would rather pay $600-$800 for a "M9A3G" than $1200 for an "old" Beretta/Wilson 92G shown...

Well I don't have an AK and I figured I would buy one. I guess I missed the boat on Russian AKs (I heard they were banned from being imported). But, the Bulgarian AKs look fine to me (not that I actually know anything about how AKs from different countries compare). What I am more perplexed...

A discussion on the handgun board inspired me to ask a question about rifle terminal ballistics. There has always been many debates about .45 ACP vs 9mm. But, I want to talk about how rifle bullets stack up against each other as far as terminal ballistics are concerned. When people select...

I know this is basically a caliber war waiting to happen. But, I'm going to try to frame it so that it doesn't get to out of hand. How much recoil is worth it to you? 9mm, 9mm+P, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, etc? How much energy, bullet diameter, bullet mass, et cetera are you willing to exchange for the...

There is a rumor that M&P 9mm pistols had accuracy issues (like 10" groups at 10 yards... bench rested) for some reason. I don't know if they ever did/used to/still do have these issues. However, I want to purchase an M&P full-size in 9mm but those rumors are making me consider buying an M&P...

My custom upper that I assembled did not make me happy. I discovered that you pretty much have to "eyeball" the flash suppressor, gas block, gas tube, and barrel nut (not to mention have the flash suppressor and barrel nut torqued properly) in order to assemble the upper receiver. I was fine...

I'm not sure which one to get. I'm not worried about the caliber. I just prefer to get an FNS-9 over an FNS-40. And, I prefer to get an XD(M) .40 over an XD(M) 9mm. The trigger on the XD(M) is okay to me. Its kinda mushy but it breaks to the rear far enough where my finger is comfortable. The...

I would really appreciate any advice you guys could give me on this topic. I can't seem to do any better than 6" groups at 100 yards with iron sights. My AR's small aperture on the rear sight is .07" (or about that). It seems that I need to get a smaller aperture if I want to be more accurate...

Does anyone know what this means? http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.7.2_os.php : "The JPSCS is not compatible with any 9mm AR variant or any blowback system using a solid (weighted) carrier." I don't know what a solid/weighted carrier is? Thanks in advance.

Are there 30 round magazines available for 6.8 SPC that actually hold 30 rounds and feed/work reliably? I hear that the max magazine size for a 6.8 SPC is 25 rounds. Thanks for all replies in advance!

Vote for and discuss which round you feel is the best intermediate rifle round and why.

I'm really curious about getting an AR chambered in .300 BLK. Which companies are offering good rifles chambered in .300 BLK? Thanks for any responses in advance.

I'm looking for a quality spotting scope to spot 5.56 size holes in black/white paper at up to 200 yards. I want something that is durable (I'm going to throw it in the back of my jeep with lens covers on). If they don't make spotting scopes that durable or if they are that durable they are...

I was wondering what kind of accuracy do you guys normally experience with cheap practice ammo from your semi-autos? I normally shoot federal champion at the range for practice. I haven't shot match ammo because I don't believe I am good enough to warrant shooting match grade ammo, yet. Has...

I have read about trigger take-up (doesn't affect accuracy), creep (may affect accuracy?), and over-travel (some say a little is better and some say none is better). I read an article (talking about rifle triggers) that said over-travel is desirable because if you have no over-travel (or very...

Hi everyone! I want to get an aimpoint Comp M4s but I also want to mount it low enough to absolute cowitness with troy micro iron sights. I currently have the standard height troy iron sights on my SCAR but I feel like I have a jaw weld instead of a cheek weld when I look through them. I feel...

I know this has been rehashed a bunch of times but I never end up seeing all of the points being addressed for both sides. I stand on the "against" side so I will list the pros below and my responses to them I have seen people list the following pros for DA/SA: 1) Repeat strike capability DAO...

I am trying to learn how to get a truly clean barrel. I was content with some Hoppes, scrubbing with a bronze bore brush, and then pushing patches through until the barrel was clean. However, when I actually took a flashlight to the barrel the barrel wasn't so sparkling clean as I thought the...

I'm interested in buying this 1911 that Sig recently released: Sig Sauer Scorpion. The only thing that I'm not sure about is the external extractor. I don't have anything against external extractors. But it looks like the extractor on this one is held in place with a roll pin. I can only guess...
