Looking for some personal opinions regarding my rifle that is being repaired. I dropped off an ak47 four weeks ago to a gunsmith to get canted barrel components straightened out. I was told to give him two weeks to repair it, and I'm starting to get concerned now four weeks later. The...

I just bought a DD Omega 7.0 rail for my 6920, and I am looking for some tips or advice from those who have installed one. How tight should the four Allen screws be? The instructions state "tighten the set screws against the barrel nut until you feel tension. There is no need to over tighten."...

Does Rock River Arms use F marked or F marked height FSPs on their barrels? I'm looking to purchase their chrome lined 20 Inch Standard Heavy Barrel Assembly barrel to replace the 20" barrel on my Stag Arms Model 4 20" AR15. My current FSP is F marked. Thanks for any information.

Has anyone here purchased the used Colt M16 parts kits for their AR15s? A buddy of mine has been purchasing the Colt M16 parts kit which includes the furniture and uppers from older US military M16 rifles, and he has been applying them to AR15 lowers to make a retro style AR15. He then...

I own a Smith & Wesson M&P AR15 and a SAR-1 AK47, and I have started to wonder what I would trade my AR15 for. I enjoy the AR15, but I've grown spoiled to the functionality of my AK and the minimal maintenance that goes along with it. I keep my firearms clean and ready to go, but I love the...

I'm kicking around the idea of trading my S&W AR15 for a FN FAL. I've done some some research on them, but I've got a few questions. Are they like AKs in that they will need to go through Century Arms to satisfy 922r? I've heard that Imbels are good receivers, but which ones should I stay...

I've got a SAR-1, and I've heard that you should put a drop of oil in firing pin hole, and I've heard that you shouldn't. What is the correct way? Thanks!

I had a strange double feed or FTE, but right now I'm a really confused as to what happened. I fired about 80 rounds of Winchester white box, and about 75 rounds of Federal Tactical HST rounds down my new Shield today and about 130th round with white box I noticed the back end of a shell or a...

This is my first Smith & Wesson, so I have a few questions for other M&P owners out there. I got my M&P Shield 9mm in today, and I've got a couple of questions. I had a weird problem happen a couple of times during the intial cleaning and disassembly, but I haven't been able to re-create the...

I've been dead set on finding 9mm 124 grain JHP. I've got a chance to buy some 9mm Golden Saber 124 grain non-bonded at a good price, and it has been the only 124 grain non +p I have been able to find I've never owned non bonded ammo, but I've done some research on it over the past few days on...

:fire: I just bought a Smith & Wesson Shield 9mm, and I can't even carry the thing since I can't find any hollow points locally or online (besides gunbroker for $2+ a round) I know I'm preaching to the choir, and yes I stood in line behind 70 people today at Gander Mtn. only to see a few boxes...

I've got a Mossberg 500 security/field shotgun that came with an 18.5" and a 28" barrel. The takedown screw on the 28" barrel has the hole threaded for a sling swivel, but the 18.5" barrel's takedown screw's hole is not threaded. I'd like to put a nice two point sling on it, but Mossberg has...

I have been looking for a new stainless steel Marlin .44 mag 1894, but I haven't had any luck. Does anyone know of an online site that sells any? I have found a blued one on cabelas.com, but stainless seems to be rare.

The serial number on the receiver of the rifle shows S1-XXXXX-99. I know S1 means SAR-1 and 99 is the date but is S1-XXXXX-99 the serial number or is it XXXXX? Internal parts have matching XXXXX numbers. I had the rifle checked out as S1-XXXXX-99 to make sure it was legit, but I'm a little...

I was taking apart my Mossberg 500 today, and the bolt and bolt slide became stuck towards the rear of the receiver. I did not force or jam them in that position, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do. I tried tapping the end of the magazine to free it up with no luck. Anyone...

I might be on the verge of buying my first revolver, and I know very little about revolvers. I have a co-worker who buys storage units, and he stumbled across a unit that had a Ruger SP101 .357 snub nose pistol. The gun came in the original case, papers, receipt, and two boxes of ammo. He...

I noticed a very slight groove on the upper entrance of the breech side of the barrel (SAR1). It looks like it could be from a cleaning rod, or maybe just a mark from when it was machined. I am usually pretty careful and use a flexible aluminum cleaning rod to avoid any rubbing while...

I like to have my AR-15 (Smith & Wesson M&P) oiled and ready to go, but it is difficult to keep the bolt carrier group "wet looking" while stored in the gun safe. I didn't know the importance of a wet bolt so the first time I shot this rifle I had oiled it a couple months prior to shooting it...

I will be attempting to zero in my 16" AR 15 this week. When adjusting the front post, how far is too far when screwing it down to raise the POA? I became curious about this when today I could only utilize 15 yards inside my garage to use the laser, and I had to lower my front sight quite a...

Alright, I've looked at AK-47s until I am blue in the face. :eek: Anyone here have any experience or opinions on the AKMS Polish Ak-47? http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct933.aspx It looks better than some of the Centuries I have seen, but after all that I've looked at, I could be...
