Being an FFL for a while. I no longer accept transfers from Non-FFL's. Why? Lack of documentation for where the gun came from. No name, no address. email to some "Hotmail account." Dispite many attempts to get the name and home address to do the loging, So, three times dealing with that with...

Baton use in many states is regulated as much or more than firearms. On open carry as a deterrent. I would not put much stock in it. Most thugs steer clear of a person that looks confident, aware of their surroundings and walk with a steady purpose. I've seen uniformed officers disarmed during...

Under federal law. Handguns have an age limit of 21 and over. State law is the guiding rule for rifles & shotguns. That's for NFA weapons too.. (Basically, there are 2 ways that an individual (who is not prohibited by Federal, State, or local law from receiving or possessing firearms) may...

I packed a 1911A1 for most of my time in the Corps. I still have a soft spot for the beast. (Satisfied by my Colt Series 70 from 1976.) if I was looking for a new 1911 and was looking for a tack driver, I'd buy a turn-key system. Going down the upgrade road is long, bumpy and expensive! With...

Things to watch for with .223 brass. If you get some of the surplus brass. Much of it will have swagged primer pockets. I've seen them break even the Lee decapers. Then even if you get the primer out. The primer pocket needs to be de-swagged. Dillon and RCBS make tools for pocket de-swaging. The...

the screw on type sights are fine. As with any metal parts. It requires more than finger tight.. I've put on MagPul Buis, Troy's, YHM, ARMS, GG&G and a few dozen others on rail systems. M-4's have used them for years.. A little reasonable force on tighting them and they stay where you put them.

Congratulations on your commissioning. After a 30 plus year career I can safely say that one of my past chief's favorite sayings has more truth today than ever before.. "Not more authority.. More responsablity"... Most departments are "Gun shy". Twenty plus years ago buying guns and ammo was...

If you want to build your own. Check out Nodak-Spud..

Somethings to consider. If you start with a decent AR15 16 in barrel with a 1/9 twist with a A4 flattop upper you won't be sorry. Some issues to consider. The .223/5.56 lower as a base allows you to change uppers for caliber changes from some pistol calibers, to 7.62X39. Many with just changing...

Don't use locktite. You may want to change out the muzzle device later. There are three types of washers made for "Timing" on muzzle devices (Timing is obtained by the blank portion of the device is located at 6 o'clock to eliminate dust signature. 1. Crush washer 2.Peel washer and number 3...

From past experience with CMP. I'd not expect anything early. When They receive a surplus shipment. They hand grade, inspect and gage each rifle. Then each is made 100% safe and placed in the appropriate grade. Takes time to do it right. The gas system on the Garand is what makes the rifle...

But with wood it's harder to do these::) [/IMG]

Today, almost all AR's are pretty close in basic quality. For a basic shooter there is little difference. Olympic Arms did go through a growing/leaning stage. Today, they make good weapons. In fact, they are one of the few that makes their own barrels, receivers and major parts. Their ultra...

Not to stir stuff up.. But the North Hollywood weapons were: Phillips AK47 Full auto Modified, and Matasareanu, HK91 Full Auto modified and AR15 Full Auto Modified. Phillips was hit in the left thumb and could not clear the stove-pipe on his AK and switched to a Beretta 92 and fired right...
