    AR 15 Sighting Options?

    The fixed iron sights on your AR are sufficient enough to hit a target at 200 yards (and beyond) without the need for an optic -- I carried an M16-A2 and 200 yards was usually the closest that we shot at the known distance range. What do you consider a small target for that distance? If...

    Modern day 7.62 X 54r is Ok??? in M 91/30

    That's what it's chambered in -- some Wolf 180 gr. should be just fine.

    Wilco, I'll let ya know next time I head out to the range.

    Colt XSE LW "Ghost" Commander

    I think she caught onto that subconsciously, while my friend and I were still trying to use it like a normal sight and ended up shooting a bit low. I'm definitely going to have to try it out a few more times and just let my eyes do the work. Thanks.

    Colt XSE LW "Ghost" Commander

    Took my mom to the gun shop the other day to pick up her new SCAR 16 which she had shipped there (I know, right!). Pretty much as an impulse buy, she decided she wanted to get a 1911 and picked out one of these limited run models. I didn't know it was a "special edition" when she bought it, only...

    Colt 1911 Recoil Spring

    My mom just bought a Colt XSE Lightweight Commander (4.25") today and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what weight recoil spring it came with. I thought the salesman said it was an 18 lb. spring, but I just want to make sure. Thanks for the help.

    Bad range day.

    Always sucks to have a bad time at the range -- I bet that next time you go, you will remember this situation and double / triple check everything before you take off though! Just as a general guideline, I always like to remember that: Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance :D

    Ear Protection

    +1 I had a 107mm rocket go off near my head in Iraq back in 2004 and thanks to that I have permanent hearing loss and a constant ringing in my ears -- Since then I always use electronic ear pro when shooting, but if that weren't an option, I would use anything that would help to protect what...

    AK Vs. SKS

    Which is exactly why you would die and I would live in that situation, there is no substitute for well placed shots, no matter what weapon you're shooting.

    Talk me out of this purchase...

    C'mon -- it has "tactical" and "sniper" all in the same product description! it has to be great! :rolleyes: In all seriousness though, optics / sights are the only interface you have between yourself and your target, it's best to get a quality product -- which you will be hard pressed to find...

    Girl shoots self in leg at range

    It probably all happened so fast that there wasn't sufficient time for anyone except her to react, which ended up in an unfortunate accident. I know that I've had the hot brass experience more than once both while I was in the Marines and at local ranges; it just comes down to training and...

    History Channel's "Top Shot" on Sunday night

    I've been watching 3 Gun Nation on VS and thoroughly enjoy the fact that it's a giant FN / SureFire commercial... YMMV. Also, for season 2 I'd definitely like to see them switch up the weapons. While they did have a good variety, there are so many weapons out there that people would like to see...

    Gun rights activists square off with Royal Oak over 'No guns' policy

    Yeah, I saw that nonsense on the news yesterday. I never wanted to go to Arts, Beats, and Eats, but now that they're trying to ban firearms there, I really want to go and OC. Hopefully Royal Oak comes to its senses.

    NRA Targets

    Does anyone know a local store, near Detroit, that sells the B-16 NRA 25 yard pistol targets. I would order them from Amazon or something, but I don't fee like paying $10 in shipping for something I'm not paying that much for to get them in the next couple days. Any help would be appreciated.

    What is your "Lemon Gun/Guns" ?

    Jennings J-22 that was given to me by my dad who had no use for it... turns out neither did I!

    Optics for S&W MP15a AR

    I've been doing some research on the Vortex SPARC / StrikeFire models -- from what i've read they're pretty decent and worth the price. On the red/green version of the StrikeFire, I've heard that the LED isn't as bright as the red-only model and when you turn that version off, whatever color was...

    AR - Flat Top or Carry Handle???

    The only times I would consider getting a fixed carry handle over a flat top are: 1. Found a great deal that I just can't pass up, in which case there is always the option to add a rail via the hole in the top of the carry handle. 2. I'm getting a full length A2 / A4 and just want to keep that...

    Failzero BCG -- Thoughts?

    $270 including the hammer from Brownells... Money isn't really an issue, nor is whether or not I should get it versus this or that BCG, I understand that everyone has their own preference, but I'm really just looking for commentary about the Failzero BCG from people who have it.
