    Copper filings on brake

    I just found some sort of copper filings or shavings on the brake of my AK-74. It's not fouling, but actual particles of copper that I can wipe off with my finger. Is this normal?

    It's probably nothing, right? (2-day-and-counting NICS delay)

    I've been delayed for a transfer and have been scatting gold bricks. Have no idea, but here are my theI've been delayed for a transfer and have been scatting gold bricks. Have little idea why, but here are my theories, some involving reasons I may actually be prohibited and some involving...

    Atlantic house-brand rifles.

    For them that don't know, Atlantic is not just retailing anymore--they're now building some rifles from parts and selling those. I've been thinking about buying one of their AK-74s and need to know if they're any good. Any one know anything about them?

    Copper solvent: is it really necessary every time?

    Just cleaned my rifle bore with Break Free and am feeling lazy. I really don't want to screw around with the Butch's now and get the copper out like I usually do because, like I said, I'm feeling lazy and also, I don't want to stink up my apartment with that stuff right now. Also, I really...

    20 gauge pistol grip recoil

    I know that the recoil in a 12 gauge pistil grip is monstrous but what about on a 20 gauge? Would it be too much for, say a seven or eight year old boy? I have a nephew who's really really into guns right now, and I want to buy him one, preferably something tacticool but affordable. I was...

    What is this stuff on my patch?

    Maroon spots. Was cleaning my rifle today after leaving it to sit around dirty for about a month and one patch came out with these weird maroon-colored spots. I don't know if it's dislodged copper fouling or rust. I doubt it's rust because I only shoot non-corrosive ammo, have a chrome lined...

    Please don't lynch me for starting another AK vs. AR thread, but...

    ...this is very interesting. It's a video showing the rested accuracy of the AK74 vs. the rested accuracy of AR15. Turns out that in the accuracy department the AR is neither as good, nor the AK as bad, as the AR fan-boys claim. You'll get about 2 MOA out of a decent quality AR and about 3...

    SCAR 16: overpriced?

    I'm considering the purchase of a 5.56mm assault-style rifle and have been looking at the SCAR 16. From what I've heard, they're fine weapons, but man, are they expensive. Are they really worth what they're charging for them? Impact guns has them listed for about $2500, which is $500 more than...

    922r Compliance question

    Does the U.S. parts requirement apply to all rifles manufactured or imported after 1989, or just those built on imported receivers? The reason I ask is that I'm considering having a Galil built on a U.S.-made CNC warrior receiver and need to know if I can just use the Israeli parts kits they...

    Sold on Ruger

    I recently accidentally dropped the slide of my old, beat-to-$h1t LCP off a second story balcony onto the concrete walk below and damaged it so that it couldn't fit back on the frame. I sent the gun in to Ruger asking if there was anything they could do to fix it, and telling them that if they...

    Can someone identify this rifle?

    Here it is: http://www.freeperception.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/North-Korean-soldiers-in-005.jpg Years ago, I remember seeing a picture in a magazine of some soldiers somewhere in the orient carrying these bizarre looking rifles with the magazine sticking out the top, and wondering...

    Help me choose a .22 caliber centerfire assault-style rifle.

    I'm wanting to buy a .22 caliber center-fire assault-style rifle in the under $2000 price range and am coming to the disconcerting realization that my options basically all suck. Here is what I've discovered during my research: AR15: They're fragile, break easily and won't run reliably unless...

    7n6: what's the big deal?

    I am wondering what the big deal is about 7n6. I am probably going to buy an AK74 as my next gun purchase, and am wondering if this type of ammo is special enough so that I should grab a case of it now, while the getting is still good. Is it really that much better than plain old Wolf? What I'm...

    Shipping parts through the mail.

    I need to send a shotgun barrel back to the manufacturer for repair. Since this part isn't a receiver, do I have to follow any of the normal BS one has to follow when shipping a gun, or can I just throw it in a box and send it from the local post office? TIA for any info anyone can give.

    Keepandbeararms.com?

    What does everyone think of this site/org? Is it worth my money to join? It seems like a good thing to contribute to, but I just found out that Harley SwiftDeer Reagan is the president of it, and I'm kind of wary of any organization headed by him. Thanks for any info/opinions anyone can give me.

    Eezox and aluminum

    Ever since I got my Mossberg 590A1 about a year ago, I've been using nothing but Eezox. Now, I come to find out that, buried deep in the MSDS on their website, it says "Avoid prolonged contact with white metals (i.e. Aluminum, Lead)". Now, as you are probably all well aware, the Mossberg...

    Zero/Patterning question

    Hi all, I have a Mossberg 590A1 with GRS that I'm thinking of getting a mag extension for. When I put the extension on, will my shotty have the same zero and patterns as it does with the stock magazine cap, or do I need to re-zero and re-pattern it? TIA for any info anyone can give me.

    Lyman pro kit vs. Lee Challenger Breech Lock kit

    I want to get into reloading and am considering either the Lyman pro kit or one of the Lee Challenger Breech Lock kits. On Midway, the Lyman kit costs about $100 more than the Lee kits. Is the extra money for the Lyman kit worth it? Also, I notice that the only difference between the two Lee...
