I have a few 10 round Glock 17 mags I'd trade Glock 17 round mags if that's an option for you.

On their teaser, notice the upper right. Appears to be a new compact handgun. Dimensionally it looks like a single-stack to me, based on the grip to trigger-guard ratio and the light-rail width.

From your proposal, you really want a normal bipod - not a tripod. Attaching anything to the FSB (front sight base) or barrel is a horrible idea for anything precision related. See "free floating" concept, either rails, handguards, or stocks. You should not add pressure to the barrel. Some...

I can't find any more information on the TS rings linked above yet. Tactical Solutions has made quality stuff in the past and they do look identical to the Warne QD rings. Might have to take the gamble on them, perhaps they're just rebranded rings..?

Vortex Viper 2-7x32? Outstanding warranty/service from Vortex and quality optics. Japanese glass assembled in Philippines. Lower magnification might be handy for a short scout rifle. Just picked one up on closeout for $180 at SWFA.

I almost never shoot my hunting rifle, a stainless Remington 700 in .308. In a moment of impulsiveness, I went ahead and bought a proper optic for it, a Vortex Viper 2-7x32. Now I'm looking for a new set of rings. Since I rarely shoot it, I considered going the detachable route so that I...

I bought a threaded barrel from them last week over the web. I screwed up and ordered the wrong threading on the thread protector. A call to them was quickly answered and my order corrected before it went out. A+ service in my book. Arrived quick too...

Thread bump for the previous question about the concrete used? Had I not just bought an Amsec 6636 from a1abdj I too would really be considering one of these B rate safes.

Don't worry about your mag It'll survive dropping straight from the gun to the dirt. We see too many new guys take it out by hand and drop it softly on the ground or similar. Get a good grip on the fresh mag as you let the empty fall to the ground. Don't worry about losing that round you...

+1 on the STI Spartan

"The Soup", a daytime TV & talkshow "highlight" show on E! Entertainment Network had a spot on their show last week highlighting the Beavis-USPS-Employee character fondling the AK. (30sec segment with snide remarks about gun buying requirements shown) As expected, the show will be great...

I paid $400 for a complete kit years ago. 2,4,6 & 8" barrels. Sold it more recently for around $700. $225 for any quality pistol seems like a very good deal, stellar if it's the one of the Monsoon produced pistols.

Two entirely different shows being discussed here, Premium-cable channel Showtime has a brand new series call Lock'n'Load. Only 1 episode has aired. The History Channel series with R. Lee Ermey is also called Lock n Load and has been on the air longer.

How many people watched the show last night? It wasn't particularly anti-gun at all. Focused on the rather flambouyant sales guy and the other shop keeper called "grandma" (family run). They dealt with some customer questions like why buy from me versus walmart (whilst shopping handguns, does...

Start shooting IDPA or USPSA matches, you'll see all kinds of part failures: Personally seen: 1911 sear spring fail, (hammer follow) 1911 Ejector bend and seize a slide (STI MIM) 1911 Extractor break 1911 Front Sight break 2 Magazine floor plates break spewing rounds on the ground. Me and my...
