I have long found Winchester .22s among the best in my guns. Remingtons have long disappointed me. But, the only time I had one fire OOB was a Winchester. No damage to the rifle though. My .22LR guns run the gamut from cheap mass market guns to tight-bored heavy barreled match and target rifles.

Great work! I am impressed. Like others, I have long had the desire to build a gun from scratch, vs. a kit. The satisfaction must be truly awesome!

My first AR-15 last year (replacing my non-AR .223Rem rifle that was stolen five years ago), And, I just received the AR-15 80% lower kit, jig set, parts kit and complete upper for my second poodleshooter. Darned things are like Lays tater chips.

I have a local Academy, so haven't ordered from them. I have been to the store twice, both were exercises in frustration and bad service. There won't be a third time. Bass Pro recently came in, across the higway from Academy. Prices aren't great, but their service is far better. I have other...

The Stevens Model 15 boy's rifle has a one piece receiver/barrel unit, so no, no possibility of a GM barrel. Mine was given to me at the age of twelve, I am nearly 60 now, and have refurbed it a couple times through the decades. Still shoots like brand new, pretty fair for such a basic and...

Hang on to it. 2020 election will be here in no time.

I really hate seeing this kind of bombastic nonsense, a totally knee-jerk reaction, coming from a politico in my state. But, this is why it won't go anywhere - we Floridians will vote to keep our guns. Hopefully enough in that area will also see fit to vote this leftist tool out of his job.

For firearms I don't know. But aving been building plastic scale models for decades, I do know certain colors of Styrene plastic are different. Clear tends to be hard and fragile, easily cracked or broken. White tends to be soft. But some companies do have differing hardness in the same...

This is absolutely the very epitome of a terrorist threat. This leftist tool needs to be charged and tried under the Fed's Terrorist law. A guilty versict with proper sentence might make others of a similar ilk think twice before spewing their venom openly.

I have been reloading everyting I shoot for years, and haven't bought factory ammo since 2008. But...... bought my first AR-15 last week, and got a 120-rd pack of 55 gr. 5.56X45 with it. Ordered a boatload of accessories. Having more fun than a gal with a new dress to 'accessorise'...

I just finally "bit the bullet" and bought my DPMS AR-15 from Academy locally last week. They had about eight on the shelf. Glad I got it when I did. Even though they will apparently still sell them, it will affect their sales if guys do not see them displayed.

No caps, it's safe. Not a problem.

First I have heard of this site. Many thanks for the heads-up! Added them to my list of gun websites. :cool:

For me, it was the feller sitting next to me at the shooting bench with his UltraMagnum Eargeschplitten LoudenBoomer with the BOSS on the business end. Hurt the heck out of my ears, though I was wearing foam plugs and my mouse ears. Of course HE likely would say it was my beloved CETME with...

The answer to is question is so blatantly obvious, that it invalidates and destroys is entire question. To wit...... these guns are NOT "assault weapons" in any way, shape or form. What we 'gun enthusiasts own are just 'modern sporting rifles'. His whole question is one of perception and an...
