    AR15 - How Many do you own?

    Two. One carbine that is pure Bushmaster, the other a complete LRB lower with a Bushy carbine upper. Both are New York compliant. Then there are the three stripped LRB lowers I have in the safe. . . :o The AR really is a great utility rifle platform. Its modularity and ergonomics are a...

    What the troops are buying with their own money

    I seem to recall photos of armor crews - particularly those manning pintle mounted M240s using AKs or having AK's within arms' reach as secondary weapons... I just wish I could find some of the pics... :confused:

    The Guns of "King Kong" (2005)

    Peter Jackson is a big time aviation buff. He's particularly a fan of pre-WWII fighters and owns quite a collection of aircraft and aviation art. The fact that he had a full-size replica O2C-1 Curtiss Helldiver (the same type used in the original) built for the new Kong speaks to his...

    Have you got any particular firearm you love the most?

    1. LRB M14SA (standard length, complete build) - absolutely love this rifle. A modern piece of art in wood and steel. As LRB's reputation and business grows I hope they can maintain the same very high standards of customer service and product. 2. Bushmaster XM15E2S A3 Carbine - the rifle...

    2005 - What guns do you want to buy?

    1. LRB M14SA - Either one put together by a competent M14-smith ($$$), or one of LRB's own complete builds ($$$). LRB is said to manufacture the best USGI-spec (w/o full auto) receivers since the rifles were in production for the US DoD in the early and mid-60s. Some say they are of even...

    California ban on .50's, how we can respond (MEGA Thread)

    Thanks to the shenanigans in California, I'm now seriously considering purchasing a .50 BMG rifle here in NY State in the coming months. I haven't had a real desire to own a .50 BMG rifle, but I figure that NY will eventually follow California's example (they tried to pass a .50 cal. ban here...

    Where can I buy a .50 BMG reciever?

    http://www.serbu.com/ Serbu is offering to sell BFG-50 receivers to folks living in the PRK, in lieu of a complete build later when they can muster up the funds. Also, I understand that Barrett already has an "F-you!" .50 cal they are preparing for the post-ban California marketplace.

    Mexico protests US border agents' pepper weapons

    Boo-freakin'-hoo! Too bad someone can't zap Dirty Sanchez with a couple of paintball rounds followed by a couple of rounds of .45 ACP, this way he can make an "informed" opinion.

    Carolyn McCarthy Ranting about Assault Weapons at the Convention....

    Not only do I live in the area - I live in McCarthy's Congressional district! :barf: I'm also a LIRR commuter - like her husband. Totally ignored in her victimhood status is the fact that the laws she supports and calls for are precisely the lawns that ensured that no one aboard that...

    Pics of an FAL with a SAW Stock

    I have one of the ~$500 Century "R1A1"s that AIM Surplus is selling. In case you are wondering (given Century's reputation), the first CAI R1A1 that AIM delivered to me had a bad fire control group. I sent it back to AIM with little fuss and they quickly sent me back another that actually...

    Who said, "Fear the man who has but one gun and knows how to use it?"

    Re: The Gyrojet - Although the Gyrojet never made it as a weapon, it has found success in another application - as a flare launcher. Gyrojet flare kits are currently normal equipment in military flight crew survival equipment.

    5.56mm M193 spec ammo comparison

    I strictly feed my Bushy (16" A3, Non-"Ninja-ized") Winchester Q3131A and IMI M193 (Q3131A is identical to IMI M193. It is made to the same US Milspec standards on the same machinery in Israel.) Some folks will swear by the Lake City XM193, and probably for good reason, but I'm extremely...

    D-Day gun pics

    Does anyone out there have a photo of a pristine MAS 36, a beret, and a list to be handed over the Gestapo with the names of Jewish neighbors on the backdrop of a white flag?
