    Looking for AR help

    Unless you really want to buy the necessary AR-15 tools, simply buy any complete AR-15 upper receiver assembly that meets your needs, and fits your budget. Then put it on your lower, and shoot it. If you have any front sight issues, you can buy a taller sight post, or shorten a sight post...

    80% AR-15 Lower Billets: Where to get them?

    Because the 80% lower has no serial number, requires no FFL paperwork or 4473 to acquire, and when finished, requires no serial number ( in most cities/states ). I would pay extra for that. .

    kinetic energy?

    Simple answer, randomly discharging a firearm is stupid, reckless, and has the potential to main or kill innocent persons. By definition, gunfire is considered lethal force. Kinetic energy has no relevance to the argument. "Warning shots" are not a legally recognized defense in court...

    What--only 5 million letters emailed?!

    Form letters do get trashed, but the topics of the letters and phone calls get totaled up daily/weekly, and looked at. Politicians go where the political winds blow them, e-mailing, snail mailing, and calling does have an effect.

    USFWS or the state DNR for hunting stats, and Gallup Surveys for firearms ownership stats. About 40-50% of households have a firearms owner.

    Why I am in favor of a ban on high capacity gun magazines

    I am shooting back. 30 rounds is the standard capacity for an AR-15, since Colt first made them. Police Chiefs serve at the pleasure of Mayors and City Councils, and are just as politically motivated as elected officials who employ them. .

    DPMS lower won't fit

    Since the upper has to fit an AR lower, the example given still holds true. One or both could be at the tolerance limits, or a pin hole is undersized. A simple diagnostic test would be to find another AR-15 and see if the upper fits, or not.

    DPMS lower won't fit

    The brand name of the upper and lower doesn't really matter. Say for example that you have one of each with random brand names, and that they are machined correctly, within manufacturing tolerances, for pin hole locations and/or pin hole sizes. One may be at the high limit and the other...

    another thread about a new M1 owner needing advice...

    I suggest you visit some of the M1 specific forums and read some of the threads for more info. Be sure to see the FAQ and technical stickies at the top of the Forum pages. The CMP Forum has tons of M1 info and FAQ pages. A clean weapon is a happy weapon. If you shoot corrosive...

    AR upper to lower mating

    Don't know and have never bothered to measure. Rifles shoot just fine. After a while, the wobble bugged me so I got some accurizing wedges to "fix" the wobble. .

    Snub Nose .38 Special...Critial Defense or Nyclad?

    Since the OP is talking about self defense and not about defeating barriers to apprehend felons, the FBI argument is as useless as the one about Mil-Spec AR-15's. Simple facts are, heavy clothing tends to clog hollow points and prevent expansion. Critical Defense loads appear to solve...

    Heritage Foundation on the UN Arms Treaty

    The UN will not be able to impose it's anti-gun agenda upon the U.S., as suggest they can't even agree on how to make an omelet, or depose a dictator. We will however, need to watch carefully that we as citizens are not be blindsided by Progressives in our own government seeking to redefine...

    laserlyte side mount for PF9...will it fit P11?

    Unless the manufacturer states that the item will fit a P11, you should probably assume that it does not.

    Thoughts on Carrying

    Which would you rather be, the observant citizen on the phone to 911, the guy beat down for "disrespecting" a group of thugs, or a participant in a shooting incident ?

    Aluminum framed guns for very long term storage.

    Alloys in the 6000 and 7000 series groups contain silicon and magnesium in approximate proportions to form magnesium silicide, thus making them heat-treatable. Major alloy in this series is 6061, one of the most versatile of the heat-treatable alloys. Though less strong than most of the 2000 or...

    Legality of detaining and disarming due to a 911 call...

    This is probable cause for that person to get pulled over, possibly at gun point. An LEO would be negligent in his duties if he did not follow up on such a 911 call. Making a false claim to 911 about a firearm brandishing incident is also probable cause for charges against you for filing a...
