    Shortening a Mossberg 835 barrel

    I like vent ribs on shotguns and I want to put one on my 590A1. Mossberg does not make a vent rib 590A1 barrel, but there are vent rib 835 barrels and I found a used one in a shop. Is it possible to have a long 835 barrel cut down to 18"? I am getting conflicting advice from people who are...

    Mossberg 590 vs Beretta 1301 Tactical

    Looking to purchase a 12 gauge shotgun that will primarily be used for home defense. I will take it with me when I travel to a nearby state where relatives live and it is not legal to bring my AR-15. I would also like it to be usable by my female relatives who are petite and not very experienced...

    Ambidextrous light mounting on Mossberg 590

    I would like to mount a light on my Mossberg 590 so that I can operate it ambidextrously. I have the Magpul forend. Has anyone here mounted a light at 6 o'clock on a shotgun? I am having a hard time picturing if it will work well or not. It seems like it may be awkward to operate at that location.

    S&W 686+ vs TRR8

    Looking to pick up a .357 revolver with a 4-5" barrel and I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to these 2. I conceal carry a 442 so I am familiar with the S&W controls and usually like to keep things uniform. The .357 will be used for home defense, open carry, target use. TRR8 can mount a...

    Railed forend options for Mossberg 590

    I am interested in purchasing a railed forend so I can add a light to my Mossberg 590. I like Magpul stuff but I think their shotgun forend is ugly so would rather avoid it if possible. What other options do I have? I read about the Fab Defense forend but the reviews aren't great and it...

    Mossberg 590A1 barrel interchangeable with 590?

    I want to purchase a Mossberg 12 gauge pump shotgun with 18.5" barrel and ghost ring sights for self defense. I would prefer the 590 for the lighter barrel because I am not going to be banging it against metal bulkheads, but it doesn't look like Mossberg offers a model in the configuration I...

    Swapping bolt carrier groups between AR15 uppers

    I have a bolt carrier group left over from an upper I sold several years ago. The guy I sold it to didn't want the BCG and it's been sitting in a box in a closet since. I'm getting back into ARs and want to order a new upper. Is there any reason I shouldn't just re-use the BCG from the old...

    Help me pick an AR configuration

    Been out of the loop on ARs for a while and it looks like there are a ton more options than 5+ years ago. Looking for a rifle for home defense/self defense and to take an Appleseed course but would like to keep it simple, not interested in a ton of rails, lasers, etc. After doing much...

    Ammo shipment missing - how to proceed?

    I ordered a crate of ammo from Cope's on Jan 14. Today I checked the tracking info and Fedex said it was delivered on the 18th, but I never received it. I called Fedex and they said they will look into it and call me back, but who knows if I'll ever hear back from them. When I ordered it I...

    Virginia Laws

    Moving from Florida to North Virginia (Arlington), tell me about the victim disarmament laws there. Can you do private (non FFL) transfers? What are the legalities around open carrying? How much of a pain is it to get a CWL there? Florida is relatively lax so I'm used to being left alone by...

    Need new CCW setup

    My current carry gun is a Glock 19 in a Dale Fricke Archangel IWB holster in the appendix position. Right now I'm using a thick, generic belt for CCW. It's starting to fold over, causing excess printing and making the holster uncomfortable. I'm also carrying my spare mag in a pocket which is not...

    Preventing rust

    Today I noticed that the screws on my Ultimak were rusty. I removed it from the rifle, but in the process one of the screws snapped in half while I was unscrewing it, and is now stuck in the clamp. I also noticed a small amount of rust on the clamps and on the barrel in the spaces where the...

    TRUSS vs Kangaroo Carry, and which gun?

    I need to CCW in business attire with absolute concealment, and came across the "belly band" type of holsters. They look pretty similar, I can't really tell much difference between them except that the TRUSS has either cross-draw or strong side options while the Kangaroo only has cross-draw, and...

    Checking over a new AK

    I just bought an Arsenal SLR107, it's my first AK type rifle. Everything looks to be normal to my untrained eye, but I want to make sure nothing is wrong with it. What specifically should I look for? Also, I've read a lot about canted sights. I should be able to tell if the sights are...

    Questions about AK modifications

    I just got an Arsenal SLR-107 and am looking at options to improve handling of the rifle. I was thinking about having the barrel shortened as much as possible with the flash hider permanently attached to make it 16". I was also thinking about getting a Bolten gas block to bring some of the...

    "Assault" Weapons Ban Article?

    I saw a really good article explaining the "Assault" Weapons Ban about a week ago, it was a PDF document about 6 pages long with pictures and etc. but I can't remember where I saw it. Anyone know where I can find it? I remember seeing a link to it on a page about Illinois concealed carry laws.
