    LWRC vs. POF! Which has better fit and finish

    All of the LWRC's that I've handled and shot have been really well-fitted and the finish has been incredible, especially for what you'd expect from an AR. I WANT to like the POF rifles but the majority of the ones that I've messed with have had a poor fit between upper and lower and, while this...

    What options do "minors" have for self defense?

    Sam1911 pretty well covered it. Too many people want to default to a gun for self-defense just because it's "cool" (whether they consciously think it or not). Situational awareness is the first thing to cultivate along with physical fitness. Some decent martial arts training doesn't...

    So the main reason why some special forces are using 45 ACP handguns is mainly....

    I doubt that there's a whole lot of use of suppressed .45 ACP pistols, despite what movies might depict and military fanboys suggest. Long guns rule the roost for everything.

    Favorite Gun Shops Around the U.S.

    I'll second Collector's Firearms in Houston. Nice selection, lots of books and historical stuff. Prices are high but they will negotiate and, if you know the true value of things, you'll generally get it for a fair price. I'll also second Whittaker's in Owensboro, KY. Great place and it is...

    What custom gunsmith smith used "1*" on his work?

    I actually think that it may have been on some Novak guns before anyone else used it.

    Remington Model 7 scope mount question

    EGW told me that they would do a "U" notch and re-anodize for a minimal fee. Might go with that.

    Remington Model 7 scope mount question

    I have an older Remington Model 7 with three mounting holes. Does anyone make a mount that will work with this carbine so that I can attach a scope in QD rings and use the irons without having to take the mount off?

    AR accuracy problem

    I'll plink with a 1 in 9" DI gun and do any training or competition with it and likely keep the LMT in a different role. With the accuracy that I got from casually shooting the 75gr BTHP, I'll probably go ahead and go out to 100 yards and beyond and try and see what I can get. I am thinking...

    AR accuracy problem

    Well...it wasn't the equipment or me, it was the ammo. Worked up from 62gr FMJ to 75gr BTHP and saw marked tightening of the groups. The 62gr was actually noticeably better than the 55gr FMJ. 69gr BTHP was pretty good but still not grouping like I thought it should. Finally, the Hornady...

    AR accuracy problem

    OK...just throwing this out. I have a LMT MRP CQB with 16" barrel, 1 in 7" twist, piston instead of DI. I have mounted a Nightforce 2.5-10x24 on it in a Larue mount. I am trying to zero it, initially at 50 yards. I'm stuck at that range because I can't get any consistent accuracy out of it...

    NIB Remington SPS Youth in .243, clearance for $397?

    Found a few SPS R700's on clearance for $397 today, including one that I have some interest in. From what I've seen online, this is a smokin' deal. Should I "pull the trigger"? :confused:

    Price check: Remington 541-S

    Don't have a copy of the Blue Book around and haven't found a lot online. What's the current value of a Remington 541-S? I've seen some on GB with "buy it now" prices as high as $1200 and with starting prices at $800+ but there are no bids or buyers. What's a realistic price for one in 98%+...

    Television Show Looking for Guns

    Look at custom gunsmiths and manufacturers. Do a variety so that varied interests would be covered. Look at rifles and handguns and their applications. Hunting, civilian defense, law enforcement, military.

    Someone talk me down from a semi-custom 1911 purchase

    Not gonna talk you DOWN. What you need to do is go the other way. Get a FULL CUSTOM 1911 done the way you want it. Shop around and you can get a complete custom from a good gunsmith for the price of a semi-custom, though your wait time will likely be longer.

    Where to go for defensive training?

    In Houston? Why not stay local and try Brian Hoffner?

    UPS won't ship gun parts?

    I was actually told that I couldn't ship a HOLSTER at a UPS Store a few years back.

    The best .45 1911 $1500 can buy.

    Used Baer. You can sometimes find a used Ed Brown in that range or a touch higher. STI would be another. Strong contender would be a Springfield TRP.
