    Anyone try one of CMMG radial delay blowback 9mm's?

    Resurrecting this one from the dead... Are you saying that the radial-delayed blowback functionality in the Banshee does not take much more out of the recoil over a 'normal' AR-9? If this is the case, I'll just build my own AR-9, as I can do it for much cheaper than what the CMMG piece will...

    AR Pistol Upper - Build or Buy - Who has experience?

    Making my first AR pistol after completing an 80% lower. :D Thinking about getting a 7.5" Adams Arms 1 in 7 Melonite barrel to build my upper, but I am also open to suggestions for pre-built uppers. What is your experience?

    Most Effective Caliber for a AR Pistol?

    Is that a good deal? I am not familiar with dealing with unfinished barrels. What all would need to be done to that barrel?

    Most Effective Caliber for a AR Pistol?

    How does one more inch change things that drastically? What can't I use with a 7.5" gun? How do you like the .300AAC in 7.5"? (All signs seem to be pointing in this direction for me at present...)

    Most Effective Caliber for a AR Pistol?

    Finishing my first 80% lower here shortly and looking forward to my first AR pistol build. Pondering what to chamber it in. I like the idea of a shorter (~7") rather than a longer (~10.5") barrel, which I know will factor into the decision. I'd also like something I can hang onto for...

    Locking the M2A1 Ammo Can. How?

    Interesting, did not know this, thanks. I was wanting to use them as transportation containers, and therefore, needing them to lock. However, now that I know about the fire-safe capability of the cans, I will use them in my safe as-is, and use another type of (lockable) container for...

    Locking the M2A1 Ammo Can. How?

    I understand that the M2A1 ammo can has a "lever-lock" system, but I have no idea how it works. Using regular Google search, Google image search, etc. yields nothing except homemade locking devices, many of which require drilling into the airtight/watertight can, which I am not willing to do...

    TulAmmo and the Local Range

    At this point I am doing it just for the sheer entertainment value. Every time I go there I will ask someone new, then post what they say here. Subscribing to this thread will be like a box of chocolates...you'll never know what you're gonna get!! ;)

    TulAmmo and the Local Range

    Got more info today....it actually is okay to use Russian ammo at this range, but in Russian firearms only. It appears that because Russian ammo is designed for Russian firearms, there are never any problems using Russian (Tula) ammo in those weapons. In those instances it is allowed...

    TulAmmo and the Local Range

    Went to the local range yesterday and brought some TulAmmo with some Blazer Brass. About halfway through my session, the range guy says I can't shoot the steel-cased stuff there. I told him that I thought it was only steel-bullet stuff that was off limits, but he said no, it was steel-cased as...

    .357 Sig owners - Ammo Question

    I checked into ammo prices before taking the plunge (admittedly it wasn't that much of a plunge, I simply got a .357 Sig barrel for my .40S&W), so I knew it was going to be expensive. There are a couple of deals right now on factory ammo from ammoman.com: - Federal 125gr. Truncated FMJ...

    .22 for self defense

    If they didn't say Mini Mag on the container, they weren't the good stuff. Seriously, these are the best out there. Some manufacturers of finicky guns say use the CCI MMs for this very reason - they are the best. Before you bail on the 22LR for good, you owe it to yourself to try this...

    For old guys - my eyes are shot...need help with sights, glasses, contacts - HELP!!!

    If I can see the target, I can't see my sights. If I can see the sights on my gun, I can't see the target. Now that I finally have the resources and time to get into shooting as a hobby and a sport, my eyes are shot. Is there anything I can do?? :( Started needing reading glasses three...

    .22 for self defense

    I can guarantee you were not shooting with CCI Mini Mags. Pretty much every other 22LR ammo out there blows, but the CCI offerings are top-rate....the difference between night and day.

    As with two others here, I like the PMR-30, given your requirements... PMR-30 in action

    Hardest flat/matte black finish for all-steel gun?

    Not impressed with the blue finish on my favorite all-steel gun, so looking to refinish it with the most durable flat/matte black finish available. Suggestions?

    9mm & .45 ACP carbines - Buy or build?

    I've settled on 9mm and .45 ACP as standards for the main handguns and carbines in my arsenal. Though I will have one-offs for special purposes (e.g. rifle and handgun in .22LR, an AR15 in 5.56 and a bolt action in .308), the majority will be in 9mm and .45 for ammo interchangeability purposes...
