Thanks for all the replies guys! I like getting information from people that own or have experience with them. Most likely going to be buying one off a site like gunbroker when I turn 21, since I never see any locally. Just going to decide what I can comfortably afford at the time and keep on...

Thank you so much, rellascout, for taking the time to post. I'm 20 right now, so I can't buy a handgun online or from an FFL until later this year. But believe me, I've see the ones you're talking about on gunbroker :p And yes, there is an FFL in my hometown that is happy to do transfers for...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Stringfellow, I appreciate the advice. I don't really want an FEG model, but I'll consider it. Who knows, I might end up getting and FEG or one of the Argentine ones. But, I've seen BHPs that appear to be in very good (mechanical) condition go for $400-450...

bdb benzino, thank you. How is that FM90? I've seen some on gunbroker that look quite nice at an attractive price. I think I'll end up going with an Belgium-made one anyway, but I'm curious. I've only shot one hi-power, it was awesome though. The only two guns I was really are a hi-power and a...

Thanks rellascout, I'd seen that website but I sort of passed over it. There is more information there than I thought there was, but I wish the information was more explicit about "Hi-Powers built from 19XX to 19YY were built this way, they are built in the current design from 19ZZ to the...

Hello all, I've decided that I'd like to buy a Hi-Power later this year. As a student, I don't really have the cash for a new one so I'm looking at used ones. I haven't been able to find a definitive source on hi-power evolution. If any of you would be kind enough to point me to a source or...

Out of curiosity, how much would the weight of the oil matter when using mobile 1? Most people seem to just use what they use in their car, what if you used 15w50 on your gun?

I bought a $2.50 bottle of hoppe's gun oil to use on my bore after cleaning. Any suggestions for something else to buy (just for the bore) when I run out? Like I said earlier, going to be using automotive stuff on the rest of the gun. It was suggested that using such products to coat the bore...

Yeah, or like people that build expensive rifles and then feed them exclusively with $.20/round russian ammo. ... not that I would ever do that ... exclusively. Still, the thing about oil, etc is that it's a recurring cost. Even if it's a seldoom recurring cost, the psychological effect is...

To be fair, I don't think anyone is suggesting that small engine oils are entirely better than purpose designed gun oils... just that they work fine for most shooters and are significantly more cost effective. I plan on using mobil 1 and wheel bearing grease, I've been convinced by the...

This thread has been excellent! Thank you all for your replies so far! What about something as a rust/corrosion preventative or lubricant to use on the bore after cleaning? Hoppe's #9 says it leaves a "protective coating" in the bore after use. If I use that, is that ok or is there something...

Al Thompson, thanks! Yep SS410 barrel 1 in 8" twist I've shot a decent amount for someone who doesn't own any guns:D but I have no experience with ARs other than holding one. I guess I'll start off doing just plinking and casual target shooting, and probably not as often as I'd like. The only...

Why bother with a rifle? A crowbar is so much easier. Seriously though, I finally built my rifle so I need to put a cleaning kit together. I'm going to buy a Hoppe's BoreSnake as several people have convinced me that using one is just as good/better than a conventional cleaning rod. I'm going...

Thanks Kwelz, And yeah that's my other question; Anyone have any experience with PSA BCGs? Know who they source the production out to? How would they compare with, say, a BCM BCG?

Good day, Building an AR: BCM Complete Upper; 16" SS410 midlength BCM charging handle Palmetto State Armory Lower Receiver Palmetto LPK RRA A2 Buttstock I have been waiting and waiting for BCM to restock their BCGs but the anticipation is killing me. I've seen good things written...

Yes, I read it properly. I was just asking for some confirmation, which you have provided. Thank you. As well, I was simply stating that, because I hadn't heard anything about wolf switching suppliers, I was still under the impression that wolf used Tula and Uly. I'm going to look in to...

Bore guide! I knew I was forgetting something, thanks for the information, guys! Please, keep it coming if anyone thinks they have anything else to add. Sky, thanks for the nice link to m4c! Also, anyone got anymore info on solvents to clean copper fouling from the barrel? Rifle is going to...

Thanks! Care to compare using pull-through vs. conventional rod for a newbie?

Soon to be AR owner here. I've never owned a rifle of my own, so I know little about maintenance. Could you guys tell me what all I need for proper care of my rifle? I can figure out the procedures and everything on my own, I'm just requesting a materials list. Links to individual components...

Kwagner, can you cite that? I've not heard anything of the sort. To my knowledge, wolf "black box" was produced at the Tula plant and wolf "Military Classic" was produced at the Uly plant. If what you are saying is true, is this why you see some boxes of MC marked as "WPA" rather than "Wolf"...
