    QD Pivot Karma

    Hey everyone. I was originally going to post this in the karma thread, but decided to give it its own post because I have a couple questions. I've never used a red dot and magnifier. First question is about placement. In order to lift the covers on the Strikefire red dot, the picture shows the...

    No Registry Doesn't Mean the State Doesn't Have a Record

    This is something I've been meaning to post for a few months now. As most of you know, we have two houses; one in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania. Thanks to NJ's stupid laws, you can only bring a gun into the state when you move. Other transport is only allowed directly to and from a range...

    Easy-to-Use Scope for 10/22

    I hate with scopes. (Except for the part where they actually let me hit the target.) I don't understand how they work, other than they let me shoot something far away, and I have no desire to find out how they work, lol. I don't want to know how to adjust them; I want someone else to do it for...

    Didn't Give My Son the Boy Scout 10/22

    Not because he doesn't deserve it! I started to worry that it's not the best rifle for him. He really hasn't done any shooting since I first took the kids to the range for a safety course two summers ago, so he doesn't have real-life shooting skills yet. Here's the problem (if it is a...

    Barely Started, Need Help

    Got the magazine catch installed, then ran into what may or may not be a problem. The catch pin for the bolt release is smaller than the hole it goes into - to the point that I can remove it with my fingers. The video I was watching show the guy tapping his into place with a punch. Mine also...

    Guess What I'm Doing Tomorrow?

    BulletGuy lower looks nice! If I wanted to make the logo stand out, what would I use? What will last and adhere to the metal, but still wipe off the surface, so that only the design is shaded?

    Need to Choose a Stock for the AR

    Tried the search function, but after scrolling through a few pages, I figure it's easier to just ask - again. I'll have all the parts I need for the AR once I pick up the lower next week, except for the stock and sights. Sights will have to wait a while longer, but if I get the stock at least...

    Dutch Take on President Trump

    Don't know how some of you might feel about this, but it made me laugh.

    Russia/US Relations Question

    I'll admit to being fairly uninformed about foreign policy and politics, so I have a question that I'd like to ask those of you who know more. Why do we consider Russia our enemy today, and why does it seem that most people think it's a terrible thing if Russian/US relations improve with Trump...

    The Good, The Bad; Ammo Shipment

    I love getting boxes marked ORM-D!!! What I don't love? Opening it up to find that there are only three boxes of 5.56, when I ordered four. I don't have a scale here in NJ. How much should a box weigh? Reason for asking is that if Palmetto State gives me any grief about this, I can point to...

    Accessories Question - Red Dot

    I've been looking at online reviews. What I want, and what I want to spend are - of course - drastically different. In the lower-priced category, the Bushnell (TRS 25) seems to be okay. CDNN is offering it for $70. What do you think? Both about whether this is a good price, and whether it's...

    What is Steel Core Ammo?

    PSA keeps sending me offers for a mini-can of 5.56. Of course, it's always "temporarily out of stock", too.

    Another WikiLeaks. Hillary on the Road, No One Pays Attention

    At a truck stop in PA she circled the place looking at the trucks before anyone noticed she was there, and at a Chipotle her aide says the manager might have thought she was with the health department. Hysterical!! WikiLeaks - The Podesta Emails

    Dropped the Savage Off for Repairs

    I have the Trophy Hunter youth model. Twice, the gun has discharged without me pulling the trigger. I've got the trigger set light - roughly 4-5 lbs, but I can't be too sure since I don't have an accurate way of measuring. In any case, it's something that scared the crap out of me. I finally...

    You Know What Would Look Nice?

    If there were some way to do a dark bronze finish on all the metal parts of a rifle, then use FDE for the rest. The bronze like this. Is there a way to do that?

    Video Sharing Privacy Question

    So if I embed a video (I just used Vimeo), does the host site privacy settings dictate who can see it? Is there a way to have the video private on their site, but have anyone who links to it from the NYG page be able to see it?

    What's the Going Rate on .223?

    1000 rounds, 55 gr, American Eagle, to be specific. Too tired to do a lot of web browsing trying to figure it out.
