    Need AR15 Help!

    M4 ramps help feed the rd into the chamber. Does it really help? Some say yes, some say no. But IMO they certainly couldn't hurt. Lose the heavy barrel. It's not needed.

    Why the AK's magwell is better than the AR's...

    There appears to be some confusion as to how to change an AK mag quickly. For right hander mag changes: First retrieve mag from pouch with your left hand. Bullets down and to the left side of the body should be best for everyone. Second take fresh magazine, and swipe the mag release...

    Why the AK's magwell is better than the AR's...

    I've ran them both. AR is better. I take it you AK supporters have never locked the back of the mag into the well, and then tried to get it out. Sure the AK mags are super tough. No contest there. AK: Boom boom click. Reach for mag with weak hand. Launch old mag with new mag. Hope you...

    Red Dots and AKs

    The problem with some of the side rail mounts is that they are not centered over the bore. This leads to a side to side cross over point at whatever yardage you zero at. I went with the Ultimak and am totally happy with it.

    Why no improved AR bolts?

    Leitner Wise made a bolt that I think was machined out of the same steel they make gears out of. But I don't see it on their website anymore. The machine work on it looked excellent. I have heard the LMT enhanced carrier is hit or miss. The bolt itself I think is GTG though.

    AR magazine question

    HK mags are "highly" overpriced. CS springs will rust. No idea if piano wire does.

    M4 Carbine

    A good starter AR would be a 16" midlength gas, flat top. Or the 14.5" carbine length gas with a permanently attached flash hider muzzle brake and flat top. If you are getting a 16" barrel it's pointless to go with the carbine length gas IMO. Buy the gun, and a bunch of mags, and ammo, learn...

    M4 Carbine

    Looked at the ADS rifles? This months SWAT magazine has an article on them. I might be biased as I know the cover model, author, FFL who supplied the rifles, and shoot at the range they shot the pics at, but they really are nice guns. Very well priced too.

    Jaybird78 What kind of use do these see? How many full loadings through each mag? Al or SS? 5.56? Anyone else want to give out actual usage stats?

    AR magazine question

    Just read the whole thread. Dead angel comments aside, Rob S. is the only person who posted some real heavy usage experiences with these mags. My usage is similar to Rob's, but I haven't been able to take many classes lately due to lack of money. I still get out once a month at least and...

    AR magazine question

    Out of the ones you listed go with Magpul. Anyone who has a USGI contract mag is also a good choice. Cproducts Al mags are garbage. Out of 100 I bought, around 15 were junk. That's around a 15% failure rate. In addition to my issues, several others in my circle have bought CP, and also see...

    Help! I want to get a rifle before potential bans go into effect and am clueless

    If you can only own 1 "tactical" rifle the AR15 is really the only answer. No other gun can be configured in so many different ways. 1 lower, and many different uppers will get you many different calibers. Need a deer rifle? Done. .22 rimfire? Done. Long range rifle? Done. etc.

    Need some better-informed opinions on possible accuracy issue

    Every gun will shoot a particular round the best. As for shooting good one day and then bad the next, you need another person to shoot for groups to determine if it's you or the gun.

    Dummy that will cycle the slide

    Very bad idea. If you are not prepared to take a life you shouldn't be carrying in the first place.

    Installing a golden rod dehumidifer

    Caulk the hole with Fire caulk. We use it at work for holes we drill and then run wire through.

    Best 5.56 round to stock up on for a rainy day?

    I assume this is for SHTF scenario? If so Wolf is not really "people" ammo. Something that is M193 spec is what I would go with. It's good on humans at self defense ranges, in a wide range of barrel lengths/twists. Plus it will go through most level III steel plates, until it goes below a...

    Shootin a 223 in the rain, ? for you Pros

    As I understand it the "hollow point" actually creates an air bubble in front of the bullet. It aids in accuracy by making the tip of the bullet more aerodynamic than a man made tip. I have no idea if this is BS or not, but it sounds good to me.
