Upgrades - the first thing you should know is about the buffer assembly. That's the spring and the cylindrical object inside of it that resides in your weapon's butt stock. There are two kinds of them: 1. Full length buffer assembly, used in most longer or fixed stocks; 2. Carbine length...

When it comes to the cleaning part, I can advise on that as well. Pay special attention to carbon build up inside of or anywhere on your bolt and bolt carrier group. The next area to pay attention to (just as imortant) is your star chamber, and for that I recommend using a standard issue chamber...

If you're strictly talking about where and how to lube it, that's an easy one for you thanks to the great design of the AR. Make sure that you use actual lubricant and not just bore solvent to lubricate it, most of your Wal Mart stuff will actually say on the packaging whether or not it's a...

Just talking about safeties in general here with the mention of ARs, there's something about that I should mention while I'm thinking of it. I often carried my M16 on presence patrols at the low ready with the inside of my right trigger hand thumb on top of the safety, ready to flick it off...

With no added time, there is still complexity of motion, but I'm sure that's negligible for someone as well trained as you.

"No Safety" I prefer no manual safety for a concealed carry weapon. My personal reasoning for it is: in the event that one needs to shoot quickly in order to save his own life or something of equal or greater importance, the smallest fractions of a second are precious. To me, a safety is just...

I can recommend the Benelli brand, but that's the only one I have experience with. I owned a Benelli M3 Super 90 Combat, black synthetic stock with pistol grip and ghost ring sights, full length. A friend of mine said that since it's a tactical shotgun, the bore is optimized for slugs and double...

Henry Repeating Arms AR-7 Survival Rifle would be my pick. At 16 inches stowed, you could leave the truck on foot with it in a small back pack and no one would as easily realize you're armed, plus you can carry more ammo with it being .22 LR. Eight round magazine capacity, semi-automatic, and...

Indeed, if they've changed their name that many times, and they have that bad of a reputation - then I'd agree staying away from them would be best. I did say, however, that "if it was reliable and accurate", then, and only then, would I invest in it. I doubt that it will ever reach that...

I'm pretty sure you already visited their site, but here it is anyway: http://www.ensdesignstudios.com/CA/camws15.html Features: Gas piston driven Parts interchangeable with Hk416 Great weight and balance low recoil Durable polymer exterior Limited Lifetime warranty...

Here's a token that, if nothing else, can give the AR some props. I've spent 24 months in Iraq in two deployments, 7 years on active duty and 4 years in the reserves, all in the U.S. Army. I've been assigned to one M16A2, one M16A2 w/M203, one M16A4, and one M4 w/M203. They were reliable...

I'm not sure I really understand what you're getting at here, man. I thought the stopping power of the .45 ACP round was well proven in World War II. I figure most shooters know there's a big difference between the stopping power of it and the 9mm round. How are you interpreting your statistics...

You're right dom, there are a lot of dudley-do-wrongs out there that will do the wrong thing when the stakes are high. Hopefully, that's what separates you from them. I know it does for me. However, when it comes to the intelligence of criminals, I'd wager to say that for every smart...

What do you think about the 5.7x28mm round as employed from the FN Five Seven pistol or perhaps a P90 series weapon? If I understand correctly, that round was designed specifically to penetrate body armor while penetrating other materials typically found in the urban environment on a relatively...

Sounds like the BG also needed a helmet like Napoleon Dynamite in addition to his body armor. I can't wait to see the look on his face while the kid is testifying.
