    Bolt Storage in Pistol Grip

    Hello All, I want to store an extra bolt and a couple batteries in a Magpul grip on an AR style rifle. I am thinking I'll liberally apply oil to the bolt and throw it into a ziplock bag then keep the batteries in separate ziplock bags and stuff them inside the grip. Anyone have any suggestions...

    Very casual pistol sale

    My guess would be that he wasn't very confident in his ability to handle a firearm. It might have been his first purchase and felt silly looking at it when he didn't know himself what he was looking for. I remember when I bought my first pistol I pinched my finger when I closed the slide... I...

    Gas Block Issue… Again...

    update Thanks for the responses. I took your advice and took the rifle back to the smith. The owner fixed it and it looks great. Now to the range! T

    Heading to the desert..

    Haha your descriptions were pretty funny… I don't know how old your nephew is but if he is older i'd go with the lever gun. Feels fitting for a desert shoot.. If you are worried about recoil at all I'd go with the AK since he has shot the AR. No matter what this sounds like fun and I'm...

    Gas Block Issue… Again...

    Since I value everyone's experience and advice on this forum, I thought I'd ask another question regarding my gas block… Thanks in advance. Yesterday I took my AR into a gunsmith I was referred to, to changed my aluminum gas block to a steel Midwest Industries low profile gas block. I decided...

    Gas Block Advice Please

    Hello, So a few months ago I put a free float hand guard on my AR15 and went with an aluminum gas block. I allowed the guy at the LGS to talk me into it and I almost immediately regretted it. I have taken the rifle out once since I installed the GB and put a over 100rds through it with 100%...

    Which would you rather carry?

    Whichever one was lighter and thinner would be my pick so probably the 9mm. That being said, I love 45ACP. If I could chose only 1 pistol it would be a 45 because I enjoy shooting it and shoot it well. But in this scenario, if both options were available to lug around all day I'd go with comfort...

    AR-15 project

    That build sounds sweet! I'll speak to what I have experience with… I run an Aimpoint Pro on my AR with Magpul BUIS with no complaints. With a solid optic i didn't feel the need to put more expensive iron sites on my rifle (not saying I wouldn't WANT to). I also use a Magpul CTR stock and...

    AR-15 within $1500 budget

    I went with a Colt LE 6920 for $899 on CDNN. Put an Aimpoint Pro, Magpul CTR stock and a 12in Midwest Industries M-Lok free float hand guard on there and came in under your friends budget. I really like the decisions I made with my rifle but there are nearly an infinite amount of combinations...

    So Proud of Myself

    Very cool! Congrats! I am thinking about upgrading to a bigger/better safe, too. Did you anchor the safe yourself?

    Help Choose Budget Red Dot for AR-15

    I have the Bushnell and it had pretty good battery life and held zero with the few hundred rounds I put through it on my AR. I now have an EOtech and the Bushnell is on my 10/22. I have zero complains with my experience using the Bushnell but I never dropped it or put it through much abuse.

    Accident at Local Range

    I have stopped going to this particular range/store. Not only are the sale associates rude but range officers are nowhere to be found. I've seen people do some dangerous things while shooting there (someone firing two pistols at once, another person shooting a shotgun from his hip a good 5...
