I know Gerber doesn't really get much attention in blade and non-firearm forums, but I happen to like Gerber products. My most recent knife purchase was a Gerber Warrant. I'd been keeping my eye out for a good, affordable, aggressive looking fixed blade for keeping under my uniform shirt at...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share this link with you. It's a crowd source type fund that will go to buy pistol and rifle mounts so that quadriplegics can get out and shoot. Ian became quadriplegic when he was hit by shrapnel while serving overseas. My wife went to school with him and...

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/05/09/ammo-prices-05092014/ The above quote is from the linked article about their weekly ammo price comparison. When I read it, it instantly made me wonder about how long it actually takes certain cartridge designs to catch on. The 300blk is probably...

So on my way home from work this morning I heard an NPR news segment which said WI's voter ID law was struck down because the judge said it was unconstitutional because it would discriminate against Blacks and Hispanics because they would be less likely to get the required IDs. I'm pretty sure...

So this winter I built an AR. I literally spent all winter to build it so that I wouldn't break the budget all in one sitting. This was a test of patience for me as I like to finish such projects quicker. Once I had enough of the components to actually fire it, I set up a wood pallet in the...

I hadn't seen this posted in it's own thread yet and thought it deserved one. As much as I don't like having to work around stupid gun laws, I do like this model. I've always liked the traditional style rifle stock. Which is why I held onto my Mini 14 for so long, only recently having switched...

I did some searches here and through google and didn't find much other than "bridging the gap" with optics. My question is whether one should or should not have a gap between the free float tube and the upper receiver? Or does it matter at all? I bought a PSA upper with an SQR free float...

Wasn't sure if this should be in auto handguns or general since some rifles use blowback too. My specific question relates to what actually creates the blowback force? Is it from the initial explotion in the cartridge or is it based on compression of gas as the bullet travels down the...

I'm almost finished with my first AR build, but I have a question about my fixed Rock River Arms Entry stock: I've got the buffer tube as far in as I can without overly interfering with the buffer retention pin, but there seems to be a bit of play in the stock back and forth and just a...

DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT a weapons designer and this is NOT an in-depth design with crazy ideas that ANY of this will work or even be looked at by anyone even employed by Glock Inc. So, here's my idea for a Glock carbine: The diagram is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm basically going for an...

So I saw this brake for sale and for once it seemed affordable. I've been building my first AR15 and I like the look of muzzle brakes, but I've never thought 5.56 produced much recoil to begin with...

I've got a package of 10 AR mags coming soon, and I've been toying around with how I'm going to label them. I'd like it to be somewhat permanent so I will probably use stencils and spray paint. I want to be able to look at a mag and know it's one of mine, and if one gives me trouble I can single...

So after reading an article by Pat Rogers last month in SWAT magazine about weapon mounted lights (WML), I came away annoyed and left out. I've only owned WMLs for a couple years now, but I've found that clear packing tape works wonders for allowing all light through. Once it's dirty, you...

I've been keeping an eye on one of our department's AR's buffer, since last time I cleaned the rifle. I noticed that the roll pin that holds the rubber bumper onto the buffer had backed out by about 2mm. Once I noticed it we got it seated flush with the hole. I just checked it again and it's...

Ar15 build questions I've never really been an AR guy, but I do recognize the ARs abilities, as well as being more economically friendly, which is exactly what I'm looking for, a fun winter gun project that's mostly within my "budget." My basic overall goal is to have a short entry stock, flat...

This proposed bill would double taxes on gun sales from 11% and increase ammo taxes from 11% to 50%! http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/26/house-dems-seek-to-tax-gun-owners-with-new-bill/ Considering that it has little chance of passing, I wouldn't have posted this, BUT... it MAY also...

Hi everyone, I've had my Enfield No 1 Mk 3 for quite a while and it's served me well as long as I use surplus ammo. Which brings me to my questions: When I shoot commercial ammo, it's clear that there's a pressure issue because the primers are backed out a bit, not a lot, but it is...

http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2013/05/02/hk-discontinues-usc-sales/ Part of me dosent care, but another part of me is just a little bit sad. Every once in a while I'd dream about someday converting one to a UMP (without sbr because my state isn't cool like that). But the everytime I'd...

Hi everyone, I've considered reloading but have always considered doing it far into the future. My mom works for a lady that organizes houses for estate sales and auctions. She ran across a reloader and put a bid in and won it. The previous owner used to own a sports shop in my hometown. I...

This week I wanted to function test my Beretta 92FS. I'd just replaced the hammer spring for a lighter version. We'd retired some old non-stick pots and pans that the cancer causing lining was flaking off, so I grabbed one, set it about 10-15 yards out. I shot it three times with American...
