As some of you probably know, I've had the retro bug for some time now. Recently, I've been building a couple more clones. Something about the carry handle AR's really speaks to me. Along with this, it brings back a time when things in the AR world were somewhat simpler. This has me thinking a...
I haven't had any issues with brass in the face yet, but I've only used one type of ammo so far with this gun. Actually if anything I've had issues with the brass hitting my right arm (I'm a lefty). So I thought it might be fun to try and make a brass deflector. I know MCarbo makes one, but I...
Last week I sent my m&p15-22 bbl out to get threaded. The guy doing it is a local guy, but far enough away that it's worth just sending the barrel in and back. Well, he sends me a text last Saturday that it was all done and shipping out that day. He included a picture of the ups label as well...
I am a fan of both, though I do not yet own a 1911 type pistol ( I have fired them though). I think there is a romance with both handguns and I am just interested to see what others think.
As for me, I just love the look, feel and history of the Colt SAA. I think it's a beautiful design and...
Here is my thought process on this. The need to have a centerfire rifle for defense and hunting purposes with the capability to convert to rimfire for more basic and utilitarian purposes....
The M16 has a 20" pencil barrel with a 1/12 twist rate. This length and twist rate is supposedly...
I'm talking about my Armscor bolt action 22lr model y1400. I has a detachable 10 round mag, but I only have the one it came with and heck if I can find magazines for it anywhere. Assuming I can load it easily from the top, I am considering fixing the mag (in some kind of reversable way) so that...
Anyone do it? Anyone able to resist the temptation to modify or upgrade a gun they own? As much as I enjoy getting accessories and upgrading the guns I own, there is always this underlying appreciation for buying a gun and keeping it completely stock (with the exception of maybe adding a scope...
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/colt-announces-a-recall-of-some-some-ar-pattern-rifles/
Just posting this up (thanks to @Edwardteach72) in case anyone here has one of these. I have one of the newer CR6920's and it is effected by this recall. The issue is just with the hammer apparently. It...
I'm just going to say it. I don't like the way notifications are now. It used to be, you'd log on and you'd have a number above the bell icon telling you how many new notifications you have. Once you looked at the list of new notifications, that number would disappear until you got a new...
I'm talking a genuine Colt, not the current line of Colt licensed AR's, but a genuine LE6920 or whatever, before Colt stopped Civilian production/sales. Is it worth it or am I better off spending/saving the money elsewhere?
A few years ago I bought a Rock Island Armory model 14Y 22lr bolt action rifle. I bought it for two reasons. 1. It is an inexpensive bolt action 22lr and 2. It has a threaded barrel. All the reviews I found about this rifle were good. I have been impressed with it's accuracy and it's just plain...
Didn't see this anywhere...

As the title suggests. My single action revolver has always seemed to have some slop in the cylinder. It's not forward/backward slop, but rather side to side I think. If I move the handgun side to side in an arc, you can hear and feel the cylinder shift and when I cock the hammer, the lock up...
It passed the House and Senate here. Gov. Cox has already said he would sign it. I'm not sure how this compares to other states with permitless carry. In Utah, you can open carry without a permit, but the gun cannot have a round in the chamber. I know for sure this law makes it so that you can...
Just as the title suggests. I don't mean to sound overly dramatic or in a panic. I know that even though one party controls the entire government it doesn't necessarily mean everything on their agenda will get accomplished. That said, gun control is at the very top of the dems list and the...
I've been looking for one of these for my AR9 in 1/2 x 28 thread. So far the only ones I'm seeing are 1/2 x 36. I have about three inches of barrel sticking out from the handguard and I haven't really found a muzzle device I like. They would all just add length to the barrel. The slip over fake...
I've been considering it for quite some time now. I have G23 gen4 and have grown tired of the finger knubs and lack of under cut on the trigger guard. I am also thinking of doing a stippling pattern for better grip. I have the dremel and sanding drums to remove the finger grooves and make an...
As the title suggests, I'm starting this thread to open discussion about this topic as I am sure everyone here can relate to it in this day and age, one way or another, to one degree or another. How do we do this? How do we relate to friends and family who we find ourselves on opposite sides of...
So, I've done some searching and it seems that the triangle style handguards are only available in rifle or carbine length. I've recently put together a midlength upper and want to go more retro with it. I've also built another lower and used an A2 stock. So I would pair the two.
It looks like...
Do they exist?
I have a no name barrel I bought a while ago. It's a nothing special gov profile in 5.56 with a 1/7 twist rate. looking down the bore it looks like your standard unlined barrel however, when I look at the chamber, it is bright like chrome and it is uneven in color around the mouth...

WOW! I mean, this is good, but never would have expected this. So confused.
So I've decided to add a homemade riser to the stock of my Ruger American. It's a polymer stock. I haven't yet taken the butt pad off to see how thick the walls of the stock are, but I know it's hollow.
My question is about how best to mount it. I know some riser kits make you drill right...
As the title suggests, which region do you live in or would like to see a forum event take place in? These are rough designations and we can change the regions should we want to, but this is to get a rough idea of where people who are interested in having a forum event are so that we can take...
As the title asks. What would it take to get a range event going for the forum and it's members? Is it even something we could/would want to do? If so, what would it take? We'd obviously need a host range that was a geographic compromise to allow for people all over the state to reasonably...
Here you go @Willjr75 , @nortatoga and everyone else who is interested in this discussion... This thread is for the purpose of arguing the amendment, what it means to you, what the Framers intended and how the Supreme Court has ruled and what those rulings mean for the 2A.
Am I losing my mind here? Back in 2011 I ordered a Spikes Tactical chrome bolt from Valhalla Tactical Supply. This was before the whole Nickle Boron craze. Spikes Tactical offered a complete BCG in Chrome as well as the carrier or bolt separately. Why is it that I can now hardly find any...
So going back a few months, I was in the Rensselaer Walmart to renew my fishing license before going camping and the whole camping/shooting/outdoor sports section was redone and they had guns again. This isn't a first. Back in the 90's they sold guns but somewhere in between y2k and up until a...

So in the spirit of @Sixbennetts's epic and on going Shockwave project, I've been inspired to follow suit as it were, to turn my garden variety Mossberg 500 with synthetic stock into something more. As I've stated before, I am emulating sixbennetts work but I am not trying to straight up copy...
Well, as the title says, we camped at Green Lake State Park this weekend. I have some criticisms and some praises. I guess I'll say the bad first (and it's really not that bad).
The camp sites were basically right ontop of one another. I know, it's not uncommon for that to be the case, but most...
Did my second Appleseed event this weekend down in Livingston, NY Columbia County. We had about 15 people participating. Great group of people, I had a lot of fun. We had 5 Rifleman today and I think it was 2 or 3 yesterday. Not bad! I also happened to be one of these Rifleman. This makes two...
I just saw this on the Ruger site and was all excited until I saw "Aluminum alloy" frame. Isn't that what is commonly referred to as "pot metal", like what the Heritage Rough Rider frame is made out of? Oh Ruger...why?

I have my eye on this. The only way this happens is if I can get my FFL to agree to a trade. I would obviously add cash ontop. But I'm thinking an AR and a 12g coach gun plus whatever for this. What do you guys think? B.E.L. Custom Firearms | Ruger Blkhawk Conv 10mm/40sw 6.5 Ss 0474 Large Frame...
