Hey, y'all, I know it isn't a huge thing, but I just couldn't stand reading another thread on here about contacting congresscritters and senabots or another Fire Mission on ARFCOM or another BS bill up for vote without doing something. While I am busy patting myself on the back, what I...

H'lo all, I did a search, and couldn't find any similar queries, so here I go. First, allow me to illustrate the size of my paws: I have a .45 1911 (Springfield Mil-Spec); its mainspring housing is arched and the trigger, she is short. If I hold the pistol properly, with the barrel...

Which way around does the A2 aperture go in the rear sight? There's a concave area on the long range aperture, should it face toward me, or away? ~GnSx

Hey everybody, I know I'm more likely to get lots of responses over at ARFCOM, and I've got an account over there, but I figured I'd try my luck here first before I step into my waders and roll over there. A series of questions concerning building a .40 S&W AR carbine follow... 1. Does...

The "how stupid are rifle manufacturers..." thread got me to thinking about how rifle makers might tap both the right and wrong handed markets with the exact same product. I came up with a couple of ideas. Preface: My only boltie experiences so far are my Yugo M48 (~300 rounds) and fondling...

Hey, everybody, It's about 6 AM, and I just finished watching a delightfully crazy movie called "Captain Ron" and it, oddly, inspired in me a desire for knowledge concerning those Semiauto M1919 clones and such. In general, I was wondering if anyone knew of an exhaustive list of companies...

Simple question: will the Millett SP2 red dot scope (30mm tube) fit in the A.R.M.S. #22M68 mount, which is a 30mm throw lever ring, but is designed with the Aimpoint comp M(L)(2/3) sights in mind? Thanks in advance, ~GnSx

Howdy, everyone, I built a 20" (Would you believe it, like three people came up and expressed their... I don't know that I'd call it than-- ah, gladness that I'd built up a 20 incher, instead of a shorter one. Weird.) AR on a DPMS A-15 lower and a kit purchased from Del-Ton over June, and had...

Howdy, everyone, I have a Springfield Armory "Mil-Spec" 1911 that my father gave to me as my high-school graduation present, and before he lets me take it up to Virginia Tech with me, he wants me to check and make sure that Virginia doesn't have any silly laws that I might be breaking. I'm...

I have a Maxpedition FatBoy versipack, and I was wondering if there'd be a way to mount a holster for a full-sized handgun inside the zippered "slip pocket" (it's the pocket closest to your body when you have the versipack on, and the one that the model in the picture below is sliding the gun...

Hi, everybody, I did a search (and a google search!) and turned up nothing. I also roamed around ARFCOM to no avail, so I turn my question loose on y'all: How does one disassemble an AR-15's rear sight assembly in order to replace the aperture? In my case, it's an A1-style assembly, but...

I did a quick search using "cavalry arms rear sight" to no avail, so I bring my query here: Does anyone have any experience with Calvalry Arms' A1-style rear-sight that attaches to flat-top AR uppers? http://www.cavalryarms.com/SARS.html Does it stay put? Does it stay zeroed? Is it a...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdF9k0HVn7E&search=machine%20gun I hope this hasn't been posted before, because that video is awesome. Tons of slow-mo and high-speed-camera footage; they even do a high-speed close-up of the impacts, bullet by bullet. Watch all four minutes, it's a blast. ~GnSx

Howdy, everybody, Quick question: Does anyone know if the Ciener conversions made for the Taurus PT-92/99 9mm pistols will work on the .40 cal. PT-100 pistols? Thanks in advance, ~GnSx P.S. ~ Anyone else think that the www.22lrconversions.com website could use a hefty dose of...

Hi, everybody, Seeing that the world (at least, the world that regularly crops up in discussions round her') is in a rather sad state of affairs WRT governments fairly ignoring their subjects' rights (or attempting to do so at every turn), can anyone brighten my spirits by telling me about...

Howdy, everyone, I got an M48 for Christmas from my dad (sidenote: no, you can't be his kid, too; it's been tried. :D ), and about the second time I took it to the range, I started having serious trigger problems with the thing. I could pull the trigger straight back as far as it would go --...

(VT = Virginia Tech, sorry for any confusion) I did a quick search and the last threads about sending care packages were in GGD, so I figure this'd be a reasonable place to post another. This is especially for SWVA, esp. Christiansburg, Blacksburg, or otherwise closeby THRers, but if you're...

Hi, everybody, Just a quick set of questions this time around: Where can I find parts and such for Mossberg and Maverick shotguns for order online? Which parts are interchangeable between the Mossberg 500 and the Maverick 88? Specifically, I'm looking to get an "8-shot" magazine tube and a...

Hi, everybody, A friend of my dad's loaned us a bunch of firearms from his late grandfather's collection, so we could take a look at them and fondle them and such (my dad has awesome coworkers :D ), and I was wondering if I could get some more information about them. The firearms are as...
