    Could AR popularity and sales getting low

    When I see folks say things like the AR was designed for the battlefield it makes me chuckle. Like when President Obama calls them a weapon of war that doesn't belong on our streets, or Bill O'Reilly calls it a heavy caliber rifle only suited for killing people. The opposite is true. *...

    Why Americans need Assault Weapons

    It is not for the government and its anti-gun minions to ask why we need any particular type of gun. It's for them to justify their intention of banning it, and in the case of AR type rifles they have failed miserably and comically. An example of their libelous doltish lies is Obama ranting that...

    Death by a thousand cuts? - Now Minnesota

    I've lived in Minnesota my entire life of 68 years, starting in the northern part of the state when it was still a frontier of sorts. It's true, the state has always leaned socialistic, much from necessity as settlers worked together to survive and prosper. But what we are looking at today in...

    Why Americans need Assault Weapons

    Americans are at liberty to own whatever gun we wish for any reason we wish. We are not bound to justify it by proving a *need*. If the government seeks to change this, take away something we enjoy, and restrict us in any way, it is they who must prove the need, not us. They have failed...

    What are the cons of universal background checks?

    The intent is not to save lives and cut down on violence, it's a vendetta against free will and individual liberty. These are the antithesis of Progressivism. Their gun control laws don't make sense. But the continue again and again, passing whatever they can, to nibble at and erode away that...

    What is purpose of pistol grip?

    Common people... the AR style rifle must have a pistol grip. You cannot hold it by the stock and fire the gun. The trigger is at the bottom of the lower receiver way down below. More to the point... what the heck difference does a pistol grip make? The Progressives are morons without a clue...

    Piers Morgan is winning...

    I think we need to be clear about something. The concept of winning is the outcome of some kind of contest. Piers Morgan and the many similar Progressive interviewers are not presenting a debate where there can be a winner. It's a setup and the outcome will always be to the advantage of Morgan...

    Mental Health is the Issue, Not Guns and Armed Guards in Schools is not the Solution

    Yes, and my complaint was that some wrote it off immediately as crazy. Personally I don't know how many school buildings there are, what guards in every one of them will cost, and where the money would come from. I learned long ago not to make snap judgments and write off an idea without...

    Mental Health is the Issue, Not Guns and Armed Guards in Schools is not the Solution

    I don't like the way security guards was immediately dismissed as crazy without consideration. I don't consider additional gun laws a better suggestion, or one that would have any immediate effect. If a weapon ban was put in place, what about all the guns already available, what about the fact...

    where can i find inexpensive complete uppers?

    PSA prices are good. They are made to order so you will have a wait, but you may best be happy to find a good value on uppers at all. In the past when I couldn't get a BMC M16 bolt carrier assembly, or any other anywhere else for a decent price, I was able to get one at DPMS (www.dpmsinc.com)...

    AR-15 - First Timer

    You guys are correct of course about no special tools needed for assembling the lower and great info too. I was thinking uppers. The only special tool I would advocate for lowers is a cheap tool you can get at Brownells that help install that dang forward pin assembly without launching springs...

    Post pics of your AR and describe your platform.

    A Bushmaster w/VLTOR handguard, a Colt SP1, and the other three I built.

    I need suggestions on an AR15

    If you would decide on a .22 LR I don't think there is much point in getting an AR style rifle... get something like a Ruger 10/22. Your blowing your money. The only real benny in the.22 LR AR is cheap practice for shooting an AR. The basic AR type rifle as recommended by others is the way to...

    AR15 Double Fire/ Slam Firing

    Scanned through the answers quickly so this may have been mentioned. Check the firing pin hole in the bolt face for the possibility of the firing pin getting stuck. The hole may look alright but be a tad enlarged. Also maybe try another pin... they're cheap. A thing I've had happen... using a...

    AR-15 - First Timer

    If you only intend to make/buy one AR it wouldn't make a lot of sense to build it from scratch. There are special tools and facilities required, so economically it makes far more sense to buy the components ready made. Of course, as with most of us gun nuts, the major factor is in the want...

    What is the purpose of a quick release scope mount especially on an AR platform??

    The need for a QD mount is not a function of the gun but the shooter. If you do not have a need for it you don't need one.

    All they's good for is KILLIN' people!

    Yes, the things were originally created to kill people. But what people were they created to kill? In every case, from the musket to the M16 and beyond, the people they were created to kill had to be killed. If a person wants to debate the propriety of wars they had better know of a way to avoid...

    AR irons + optic opinions

    You must consider the type of shooting before considering the type of sights. We can suggest, but we can't do that part for you. There's nothing like a light, quick rifle fitted out with a red dot optic and co-witness iron sights. For fast up close work, like clearing a building or a truck gun...

    Calling all AR-15 Gurus! FTE/FTF issues.

    Fail to extract? And fail to feed maybe short cycling? I suppose the latter can relate to the former, if there is a lot of resistance to extraction there may not be sufficient power left to full cycle, it may not be gas related. That can happen with steel cases... you are using brass, right...
