Thank you Scout. I, also, thought that's what forums are for. I have another question to ask about my new AR, but I think I'll post it on another site.

I bought a Bushmaster first of the week at Walmart. They were selling their last Colt AR, and I saw a Mossburg AR, DPMS, Sig, S&W 15-22, Ruger Mini 14, Scout, American, along with some tactical shotguns. My LGS don't have any Colt's or S&W's. Claims he can't get them. He has plenty od DPMS at a...

Can't say I bought my last one, but the latest one is a S&W Model 915 semi-automatic in 9 mm.

10 S&W .22 handguns 2 Browning Buckmarks a 10/22 a CO2 BB pistol that looks like my M&P 9 a lever action Daisey Red Ryder and my favorite is a Remington Model 512 that I paid for with money I earned picking up pecans on halves. I was 10 years old and that was 58 years ago. It's killed many...

fatcat, I'm the OP if your reply is directed at me. I'm not an AR junkie. In fact the Bushmaster I just bought is the first AR I had in my hands in about 50 years and the magazine seems very cheaply made compared to the rifle. Yes, I was looking for and found some, what appear, to be well built...

Probably confusing them with the M14 mags. That was 50 years ago. Any way I got my order coming from .44 Mag.com thanks to some of you guys recommendations.

What are the rules for buying an M1 from CMP? I went through basic and AIT with one. I really liked to shoot the M1. Only got one M1 thumb and that was more than enough.

Thank God Georgia don't have that law. Another form of gun control. Just ordered from .44mag.com 5 each D&H (formally La Belle) and NHMTG 20 round mags. Now I going to mount my 40 y.o. El Paso Weaver 1.5 X 4.5 on my Bushmaster. The Weaver has been on my Model 740 .30-06 for 40 years.

Thanks everyone. I have more information from your personal experience than I ever expected. I will check all your suggestions out. This is great information that you won't find on "Google." Looking at the sites you recommended, I am amazed at the varieties and prices of mags that are offered...

Just bought a Bushmaster AR and it came with a 30 round magazine. It seems rather lightweight. I would like to buy some military M16 20 round mags. Where would be a good place to buy them?

Military surplus magazines Just bought a Bushmaster AR and it came with a 30 round magazine. It seems rather lightweight. I would like to buy some military M16 20 round mags. Where would be a good place to buy them? Think I posted in the wrong place.

I have had a Banner on a .30-06 for 35 years and it is still serving me fine. Fixing to put a 40 y.o. Weaver 1.5 X 4.5 on a new Bushmaster I just bought.

You made good decisions. Thank God you didn't have to confront him in your yard, but I would say you were ready to take care of the situation.

A hunting partner went hog hunting on a state game preserve last week. Could only use a shotgun, so he took his 10 ga, SS with #2 shot. Shot a 300# hog directly in the snout and wound up shooting him 4 more times before he killed the hog. They are tough when they get riled up.

I have always wanted a Gibbs style rifle, but with a left hand lock. Putting together the iron would not be as hard as finding a good stock maker.
