    AR firing pin retaining pin question

    I will install an AR pin, however your procedure for modifying a pin is interesting given that it could be used as a backup. Any timeline with your modification as to how long the pin lasts?

    Is the AR-15 firing pin retaining pin proprietary and/or heat treated or will any similar size cotter pin be okay to use? The BCG I chose for the build came stripped.

    ITAR Restrictions Expanding to Cover Firearms Info?

    What worries me is what else will the gov consider sensitive speech/information that previously wasn't. Below from an article: Below are the State changes drawing the NRA fire: Paragraph (b) of the revised definition explicitly sets forth the Department's requirement of...

    Considering this Basrska Spotting Scope

    Did you check Amazon or Cabela's for prices? If you only need it for 100 yards or less go for it. Yeah you could spend more money on something that will reach out but it you can't afford it and won't be using it past what you said, it will just sit in the box. Take money saved and by ammo or...

    115 or 124 for 9mm self defense

    Should You Draw ONLY IF your going to fire?

    MY 2 cents, YMMV. I believe terminating the threat can be achieved by either drawing the weapon, drawing the weapon and firing - absolutely the last resort - or by displaying the weapon while still in its retention position. The purpose is to terminate the threat/attack. If the person(s)...

    Missouri gun ban introduced

    All the gun grabbing seems to be coming from states with demorat governors. CA, IL, MO, CO, etc. We must all stay alert regarding legislation involving firearms in our states and take nothing for granted. To do so will invite dire consequences.

    White House petition

    Have to remember that when Obama was an Illinois State Senator he voted NO twice on a Bill that would allow a citizen to defend himself or another in the home with a firearm. And then he wouldn't vote to override a veto. The law passed without his help but it speak volumes about his sense of...
