    First 5.56/.223 Purchase

    The AR market is saturated with brands, both selling complete rifles and companies selling parts or kits you can assemble yourself. S & W and Core15 are fine companies as far as I know. So are Daniel Defense, Stag, BCM, FN, Ruger, Sionics, CMMG, Del-ton, DPMS and RRA to name a few other...

    Fondling My Guns?

    I'm an engineer. The design of the entire system (trigger, safeties & action) is quite interesting. Many different action types (Browning, rotating bolt, (delayed) roller blowback and others) have been invented over the last century to accomplish basically the same thing with very similar...

    Explain scopes to me please

    'Appropriate magnification range' depends on you and what you're trying to do. Anything less than 100 yds and open sights or red dots are probably sufficient unless you are target shooting or tuning handloads. Anything over 20x is probably overkill for an AR unless you are prairie dog hunting...

    Does this sound like a scam?

    This deal walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Do you know any cops or PI's? I would reply to this guy that you're brother-in-law FBI agent is visiting and will come with you to make the deal and you hope that's not a problem...:rolleyes: Then I would report him to gunbroker and...

    Finally Did it! DDm4 V7!

    DD's are great rifles. First of all, do you have (or think you might have) an astigmatism? Astigmatism's will cause you to see dots in Aimpoints and Eotechs as a smudge. This is an individual thing and is unbearable for some folks and a minor annoyance for other people. Also, the dots in the...

    AR 15 trigger upgrade...

    I have a Geissele SSA-E in a 14.5" AR and a High Speed DMR trigger in an 18" rifle; Both are outstanding and either one would be a huge improvement over your current trigger.

    I vote Springfield. I have an MC Operator that I traded a PTR-91 for about 6 yrs ago. I should have done it sooner...

    Thinking about coming back to the AR. Recommend non-556 version.

    Well, in the AR15 platform, the more popular calibers besides 5.56 are 6.8 SPC2 .300 AAC Blackout/Whisper 6.5 Grendel .458 SOCOM .500 Beowulf 5.7x28 5.45x39 .204 Ruger (available from at least LMT) 7.62x39 - not recommended due to cartridge taper. And, of course, you can always get a .22 LR...

    keymod

    I have a KAC URX 4 keymod and I really like the size of it. I wear large gloves, but I certainly don't have huge hands. I think the URX 4 is light, easy to grip and gives the flexibility to mount things where you want them without wasted rails. KAC has some keymod mounted irons...

    Florida-moves-ahead-with-bill-legalizing-warning shots

    I don't see a need for allowing warning shots. If presenting a firearm does not de-escalate a situation, a warning shot only presents the possibility of injuring bystanders... Also, people seem to forget that these situations do not play out like some Mexican Stand off in a movie; deadly force...

    Black Rifles - Love them Fear them

    I voted AR15, but if I could really only have 1 I think I'd sell my 2 ARs and buy an SR25 ECC if one could be had. (AR10)

    ARES raided!!

    Oops, yeah I misread the first part of the Ares Letter... But from what I read they're finishing poly lowers and then back-filling them with a different colored material for the end user to remove... That's still kinda shady, IMO. I'm sure the ATF is stretched pretty bare with trying to...

    ARES raided!!

    After reading what wildbill linked above, I think what Areas was doing is really shady and any reasonable person would agree that they were manufacturing firearms. If you didn't read it, here's the summary: -A "customer" brings an 80% lower to Ares, pays a fee & puts it in an Ares-owned &...

    Ukrainians want their own RKBA !!

    Given the recent spate of the tyrannical and corrupt government trying to silence the protesters and eventually getting deposed from power, the Ukrainians have now realized how dangerous a government can be when they don't respect the rights of their citizens. They've begun a push for an...

    NJ legislature makes deal - 10 rd limit exchanged for reasonable deviations

    Sorry to rain on your parade bucko, but these views are not generally considered "defending the 2nd Amendment" by most of our members. Remember that whole "...shall not be infringed." part.

    Local walmart has rised 5.56 prices

    I stopped by a walmart this morning. I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I wandered by the ammo counter on the way out. No .22 to be seen. a little 9mm & .45, a decent amount of 7.62x39 if you like Tula. And they had the AE 120rd 5.56 cans for $80 and 750 rd ammo cans of AE or Federal...

    Which gun companies might move?

    I hope that RRA, Springfield, DSA & Armalite leave Illinois if only to hasten that state's implosion.

    Good and Bad

    I don't have statistics, but I do know that a significant percentage of the legislation proposed during each session goes absolutely nowhere. That's exactly where most of the newly proposed firearms bills will end up. We don't need new laws restricting firearms. We need the federal gov't to...

    Texas Hog Hunt advice

    Also, how are you getting to TX? I would encourage you to avoid flying through NY, NJ or DC: If you (or someone else better at using the search function) search a bit in the Legal forum here you can probably find the story of a guy that was connecting through one of the NYC airports with a...

    How effective are muzzle brakes on ARs?

    This. Muzzle brakes may not do much to address muzzle rise and they are not considerate to those shooting next to you. If you're shooting in some of the "tactical" positions like you would in a carbine class, the muzzle can be right next to the ground or your leg. In either case the blast from a...
