    10.5" FAL: experiences? thoughts?

    I recently graduated, and I'm about to start making a lot more money than I've been used to as a student for the past 8 years. As such, I've been eyeballing firearms that were, until now, out of my price range. One such was a 10.5" FAL made by DSA. Handling that thing in the store was great...

    Troy Battlemag failure*. (pictures included)

    I purchased a Troy battlemag, and it looks like they have a serious design/production flaw. It's a shame, because I've always been a huge fan of the products Troy industries puts out. A.) It is packaged with a large rubber bumper installed in the base of the magazine. That bumper is poorly...

    Is Robar's NP3 the same thing as FailZero?

    There has been a lot of hullabaloo about this FailZero stuff, but it seems that they only provide parts kits, and will not coat personal guns. To me, this seems rather counter-intuitive, and I'd like to get my 1911, which is broken in "just the way I like it" treated with this process. If it...

    Changing minds is important, so, let's do so:

    I will tread carefully in this topic so as not to offend anyone, however, something has to be done. Please read this post with an open mind, it is not meant to insult. In order to change the minds of people who are on the fence, or even anti-gun, we have to overcome some major negative...

    Quick, good powder measuring using a hand press

    Hi everyone, I've been loading .45acp with a Lee hand press, and things are going pretty well. It doesn't take as long now that I've gotten into the flow of things, but I've noticed that the main things slowing me down is priming and adding powder to the casings. I've been using dippers...

    Implications of using a ,45acp CorBon 160 grain DPX in a 5" 1911?

    What would result? What would be different from the 185 grain DPX loadout in the same gun? Lower recoil? More Velocity? Would there be decreased penetration? Would any loss in penetration be significant enough to consider? [Side note: please refrain from posting any "Hurr...

    break in period for Knoxx compstocks?

    Hi, I've had a Knoxx compstock on my 590 for a while now, and while I've always enjoyed it, I simply assumed that there was a learning curve for using the stock effectively. However, I took it out today, giving it a serious go when I noticed that I was not feeling the recoil at all. I...

    Police actions/rules: Why isn't it assault when an officer aims a weapon at someone?

    It seems as though officers often engage in the practice of drawing their weapons and pointing them at people as a precaution. Are they required to fill out paperwork every time they do this? If so, must they provide justification? Why isn't it considered assault? Couldn't someone...

    Strange rust in Kimber barrel

    I'm anal about keeping my firearms clean, but recently (yesterday) upon examining my barrel with my super bright Surefire I discovered a weird, crimson colored rust on the lands of my barrel. Really strange. It's not visible to the naked eye (well, the rusted area only looks cloudy to the...

    Now I can see how the myths about birdshot get propogated

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOUyLz8Rsr8&feature=related Man shoots object. Man sees hole in object. Man assumes all objects are equal. Man then HURR DURRs his way across galaxies and universes, glorifying all living things with his DERP-mastery. :rolleyes: How often do you meet people...

    Tell me about Golden Sabre

    I've recently become pretty interested in buying Golden Sabres when I found that I can buy the bullets for reloading for very cheap near my brother's house. What are the pros and cons of this bullet design?
