Hello guys. It's been a bit since I've posted, but I'm looking to build a bolt gun specifically for long distance shooting (200-600 yards.) I have 3 calibers I'm mainly interested in. The thing is, I don't really know what is best suited for me and what platform to build it on. Now the kicker...

My grandfather gave me a brand new Henry Survival Rifle (.22lr that collapses completely into the stock). I like the gun because its very light and seems like an awesome backpacking gun. Now being so light and all, what's the average lifespan of these guns? Is it something I need to take extra...

Alright so I'm finally getting somewhere! I got almost everything, just need some primers and a scale and I'm all set! I did a search and nothing really definitive came up so I just decided to start a new thread. I only have 158gr lead bullets right now, and I was planning on pretty much...

Hello all. I managed to pick up an extremely nice Ruger Blackhawk today with a 6.5" barrel. It was extremely natural to me and a Blackhawk was on my gun bucket list so I snatched it up. (I'll get some pics up tomorrow; couldn't take it home today being Good Friday and all). Now the gun comes...

Hello all. I am in the process of getting the hunter safety course over and done with (I know, I know; What took me so long?) and there are a couple people that offered to take me along across the freedom river into PA to do some hunting. Now looking at permits and all that, it appears coyote...

I'm looking to upgrade my M16A2 lookalike Ar-15 into the 21'st century, so I was thinking about adding a quad rail and a foregrip. I like the way they look and they honestly appear to be one of the few useful things you can bolt onto your gun. The thing is, there are dozens, if not hundreds...

Hello everyone. I was in my favorite little gun shop poking around for a Makarov the other day, and several guys were talking about how Jersey was going to try to pass shall issue CC if HR822 passes. They were apparently also saying that it would be several hundred for the license, which...

Duplex Owner Wounds Young Intruder This is a very different way of looking at selecting your HD gun/caliber. Two really big lessons are extremely emphasized here: 1) Make sure your gun is reliable with your selected ammo! Run a couple hundred rounds through it before you trust your life to...

Hello guys. First things first: Look at my location. I can't have this yet but I plan on having one when I get to a free state! Ok so we all know about the Mini's thin barrel and how if you improve the harmonics, it shoots better. We also know that as of 2006, all of the Mini's come with...

A few days ago, I put the next addition onto my AR-15: A nice little 4 reticle AIM red dot sight on top of the carry handle. I sighted it in at 50 yards. I put about 120 rounds downrange, and whether I was standing or sitting, every shot hit the black area of the paper. It was nice being able...

Yea, yea, I know the "Is (insert some Russian ammo here) safe to use in my AR?" discussion has been beat to death, and I know it varies from person to person. My question here is: How well has it worked for YOU in YOUR AR-15? I have to admit, 500 rounds of .223 for a hundred bucks is...

Every time I go to the range, I see lots of different sights being used by different people. Usually there's new guy using a red dot, the old hardened vet who refuses to look through anything with glass, and the guy with the scope the length of the rifle trying to make that 600 yard shot. My...

Hello again. For a while I've had this problem but never got around to figuring out what's wrong. The problem starts when loading the magazine. I snap the 1st one in, and it pops right back out. I snap a 2nd one in while holding down the first, and they both stay in. Now if I load up 5...

Alright so I've been contemplating purchasing a Mosin Nagant recently with the sole purpose of building it into a short, light, full-power rifle. My LGS has them for $200 and it includes all the normal accessories plus a synthetic stock on the side, or $120 without the extra stock. They're dirt...

Hello all! After 6 years of drooling over them and 6 months of saving, I finally managed to pull together the funds long enough to build my AR-15! I'll admit, it's a home built frankenAR. I really have a love for the M16A2 look, and it seems like everyone has a tricked out M4 type AR these...

I went into the gun store yesterday to pick up my AR receiver (Yay! Range report coming soon!) and as I was just looking around I saw this monstrosity apparently called the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum. It looked like an X frame on steroids. :uhoh: The gun chambers all .410 shotshells, .45 LC...

I've been thinking about this, and it seems that you could have a platform that's more reliable than an AR or other semi auto, with a wider range of calibers, legal in every state, and with less components than a comparable semi-auto. Now I know Pennsylvania loves those pump action .270's...

Pardon me if this is a really stupid question, but I have been thinking about this for a while. My question is: How hard is it to crown a barrel yourself? I mean like take a Dremel and a pointed grinding bit, stick it in the end of the barrel as straight as possible, smooth it out with a...

Hello all. I have recently decided to build myself an AR-15 (for the second time :p) I have built a lower before, so I'm not worried about that part. The thing is I like the 20" M16 style barrel length as opposed to the short 16" barrel M4 craze that seems to overtake a lot of people. My...

I'm thinking about using this SGM Tactical 3 Rail forend on my Saiga .308. Here it is: SGM Tactical 3 Rail Forend Has anyone used this forend? Is it good quality? Pictures please?
