    Mossberg Shockwave

    I agree, but the Shockwave and Tac-14 are not PGS'. Tomac

    Mossberg Shockwave

    All handguns are relatively poor 'stoppers', regardless of caliber or bullet used. If I have to shoot in defense of myself or loved ones, I want to end the fight as quickly and w/as few rds as possible to limit the BG's ability to inflict serious/lethal damage before he's neutralized. A decent...

    Remington TAC-14

    If I wanted more capacity in the Tac-14 than the std 4+1, I'd go w/the wood furniture version that comes w/the factory +1 and ball/detent that prevents the extension from backing out due to recoil. Yes, it costs more but you'd have to pay for an extension anyway plus deal w/those silly mag tube...

    Mossberg Shockwave

    I purchased a Shockwave as a range toy BD gift to myself a year ago. After a few hundred rds it's now earned a place in my bedroom HD inventory. Proper technique is everything w/the Shockwave, and with proper technique I find std 2.75" buckshot to be both fast and controllable (however, 2.75"...

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    This started off as a stock Colt LE6920 a couple of years ago, wanted known quality/reliability as my baseline. Now it has a BCM 16" LW middy upper (lighter bbl, smoother recoil impulse, longer hand guard, less wear/tear on parts) AIM V2 Nitride BCG (less coefficient of friction than a std...

    AR lubrication.

    I use Mobil 1 0w40 "European Formula" on all my AR's, it's one of the few Class IV true synthetics. Tomac

    School Me on Tactical Lights Please

    Streamlight has 2 new ProTac rail-mounted lights coming out that look good (bottom of the page, there's a 2xCR123 model and a 1xCR123/AA model): https://www.botach.com/streamlight-rail-mounted-tactical-lights/ These are my two favorite ways of using a weapons light on a MOE hand guard...

    What is the best Red Dot sight for an AR-15?

    Good advice given above. Check out your local gun stores and look at (and through) the different optics within your price range. Over the years I've owned numerous Aimpoints, Eotechs, Trijicons, etc. While Eotechs have that wide FOV through the optic & circle-dot reticle, controls are...

    New AR build, a couple issues.

    Scarecrow, Simply put, tolerance stacking is when two or more components that, although within acceptable tolerance levels individually, work together in such a way as to exceed acceptable tolerances in one or more areas. In your case, for example, your rifle might work fine with the BAD...

    New AR build, a couple issues.

    Go back to square one and troubleshoot from there, might be tolerance stacking. Remove the BAD lever, install a carbine buffer, clean/lube w/oil and test again. The BAD lever can cause failure to lock back due to the extra weight on the bolt release paddle, some midlengths don't like heavier...

    need help choosing heavy buffer & adjustable gas block AR-15

    A- Lots of personal preference here. Brakes reduce muzzle rise by reducing perceived recoil at the cost of side blast which others near you may not appreciate. Compensators reduce muzzle rise by venting gas upwards. Hybrids combine qualities of both. What are your size/weight/budget limits? I've...

    16" Midlength BCM: Which Buffer?

    Great chart but it left out the H3 buffer which has 3 tungsten weights and weighs 5.4oz. Tomac

    IWI Tavor

    That's a good price for a Tavor. Have you considered the new Meprolight RDS?: http://www.idfholsters.com/optics/meprolightmepro-tru-dot-rds.html I've been using them since they first came out and IMHO they have little competition at this pricepoint in light of the features they offer. Tomac

    16" Midlength BCM: Which Buffer?

    I own 3 BCM 16" LW middys w/the Mod 0 comp. All have std buffer springs and H3 buffers. All run 100% and will lock back on 55gr PMC Bronze (weakest ammo I've tested them with), even my training rifle w/over 1,200rds through it w/o cleaning. There is some personal preference involved w/regard to...

    PSA Premium Mid-length AR 6k round review

    I like my BCM Mod 0 for what it is: a "jack of all trades" that's good at several things but excels at nothing. However, I'd be hard-pressed to find a better hybrid muzzle device that's as small as the Mod 0. Tomac

    Question on AR build

    Buying my first AR15. Need input

    Colt 6720 or 6920 (I prefer the 6720's lighter bbl but YMMV) for $799. Buy lots of ammo, run it hard, learn about the platform then you'll be much better informed for your next build or buy decision. However, if you're on a tighter budget, I've heard lots of good things about the M&P Sport as...

    Ultimate range bragging gun..what would you pick?

    NDM-86 Dragunov in .308 shooting 168gr match ammo. Far more accurate than it should be and looks like the Devil's own rifle. Tomac
