That's the most fun part - doing lots of research. I'd be willing to bet that I spent more time researching my parts than most people ever will spend shooting a particular gun. Not everyone likes that, but for me it's interesting learning.

Very little difference, and building your own is way more fun. I used a barrel from Integrity arms, which is also a 16", melonited, 1/8" twist barrel in a pencil profile. Several hundred rounds through it, and it works just fine... Oh, and it's also mid length gas and .223 Wylde chamber. Hard to...

Rainier Arms' billet lowers have pretty sweet built in ambidextrous controls for everything.

Mine was like that. I was told it's normal. It's the dot "projector." (In mine the projector was covered with a large glob of glue). I recently found a second one at a pawn shop for half price. In this one the projector is at 6 o'clock and is less obtrusive. However the fov is slightly smaller...

Heck, 3/4 of the reason I go to gun shows is because the people there are so entertaining. Most of the stuff sold at gun shows is low quality, but it's always interesting to see what other people are willing to buy. I remember seeing something at a gun show recently and thinking what kind of...

As much as I'd like to think otherwise, the vast majority of gun show attendees I've seen look and sound like they'd be lucky to score a minimum wage job. Combine that with the fact that they come prepared to spend a load of cash, and there's a lot of impulse buying going on. "Honey, look what I...

A small red dot like that can be a huge help in getting on target quickly. Doesn't sacrifice accuracy in any way, and you can always turn it off and just use the reticle.

This is just an observation and a request. It seems like every gun rally I go to has a lot of people who just walked of the set of Duck Dynasty. Usually most of them. I love that show, and my friends know I don't care what they look like when we're hunting, but showing up at a state capitol...

The smaller the dot the better. They're great for speed and can be decent for accuracy at close range. With a 2 MOA ultradot, I once put 30 rounds into 2" at 50 yards with my Browning Buckmark pistol. Twice in a row. (Off a bench). I can do half that with my 10/22 & red dot. Out at 100 yards...

As a physician, I think that the biggest concern here should be that the federal government has ANY access to private medical information. It's done in the name of "public health" or "safety," but the underlying intentions are more nefarious than we like to admit. I'd be willing to bet that...

Shot placement is key. Any shot from the side of the had had the potential to miss vital stuff. I once watched a cow elk shot with the "behind the ear" technique with .357 Winchester silver tips (don't recall the grains, but they were powerful home defense loads. After 5 shots, she was still...

Been reading for quite a while, posting occasionally, but don't think I officially introduced myself. Long time hunter/shooter but only been serious about long range rifle for a couple of years. Used to shoot IPSC about 20 years ago but haven't since then (did pretty well at the time!) Spent...

My LnL AP came with a spare one of those. I figured it was because it looks flimsy. Not sure what you'd have to do to break one or why they don't make it out of metal, but I'm sure there's a reason. I certainly can't imagine it experiencing much force under normal conditions.

I don't know anything about Bushnell's warranty on stuff back then, but if you try everything else and are convinced the problem is with the scope, it can't hurt to try sending it back first.

I still have some federals I picked up there last year. No shortage at the time. Unfortunately, I didn't have any spare cash and only bought a few. I don't live in Rio Rancho any more though...

There's always the old argument that the 308 is inherently more accurate (which due to a couple of factors is actually true), but as was mentioned before, if you want versatility, go with the .300 Win mag. Since you're handloading, you can have as much power or as little recoil as you want. I've...

Took my mom shooting for the first time after dad bought her a Smith & Wesson 686 revolver for home defense. We were much more excited than she was to shoot it and took turns shooting off of sandbags at 25 yards. Finally it was her turn. She aimed, then stopped and said "if someone breaks into...

My Armalite AR-10 also has a miserable trigger (i call it a 4-stage trigger). As a result, I saved up my pennies when building up my AR-15, and got a Geissele SSA-E. The difference in feel and how they shoot is absolutely incredible. With a lot of concentration, I can still shoot the AR-10...

It's been on my wish list for 20 years. Unfortunately, buying more gun related "junk" will get me in the dog house for sure right now. I've been asked to curtail the spending "for a little while - until our common goals are met." Funny how none of those "priorities" are actually important to one...

Seriously, that is a great idea. I'm not quite as hard core as you, and for now (and the foreseeable future), my only handgun caliber is 9mm. I do have 2 rifle setups, and will be adding a third soon, so easily popping the powder tubes back and forth would be sweet. Too bad I don't have a...
