I'm in a spot. Ft. Polk has a world-class shooting range. 500-meter rifle, 60-meter pistol ranges, awesome shotgun set-ups for trap, skeet and 5-stand. Archery too. Only restriction is no full-auto. Everything else is cool; rapid-fire, FMJ ammo, etc. They have high-power matches, unit...

I can't find a gun with the features I want, so I'm thinking about designing my own. I've already got some ideas about how it would work, the overall design and the end objectives, but how hard is it to make a design or idea a reality? I figure I'll need a complete machine shop and a skilled...

Just brought her home last night. Her name is Judy and she weighs 11.25 pounds when she's full. j/k Actually my new rifle came in and I'm stoked. LRB Arms M1A: Drop forged receiver. Machined, heat treated and finished to USGI specs. Wilson Chrome-lined NM-quality GI-contour...

They were these handguns that had the handgrip in the center of the design and they didn't have a "slide" but a bolt that cycled inside the receiver. they looked really balanced and pretty cool. The one Arnold used had a barrel shroud, while another did not. The front sights were enclosed like...

Hey guys. I am looking to get a BHP, my first, and I know exactly what I want. However, budget constraints won't allow me to get it, so I am having to settle. For much less than my "dream" BHP, I can get a NIB FEG PJK-9HP. I know this is the Hungarian copy of the HP. Is this the one that...

Hey guys. I am currently on TDY at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. My home of record is Texas. I'll be here until April 29. Well in the meantime I was thinking I might want to buy a gun while I'm here, but I have no clue about how to go about buying a gun out of state. I...

I posted this a while ago, buried in another thread, but since I am getting in a mood to buy a SXS, I am re-posting it by itself. I have one question about the SXS exposed-hammer coach guns. I am wanting one, but all the affordable (less than $250) ones have the tang safety in addition...

Usually, I am not a fan of optics, but can see their use in certain narrow applications. Now, if one wanted the best scope available, on an unlimited budget, money is no object, what would be the one to get? I was talking to an old Army sniper, (who still does long-range stuff for fun)...

I have one of those $85 NEF single-shots from Wal Mart. I bought it as a learner gun and it turned into one of the best trap guns I've ever seen. If you miss, it's your fault. That gun is eerily accurate. The problem is the finish is a VERY cheap with thin bluing and color case hardening...

Which is consdiered "better", a metric or inch-pattern FAL? I've heard the Inch L1A1 is considered "better" as it has a few ergonomic improvements; (the safety, for example), sand cuts in the receiver and bolt carrier and can take both inch and metric mags. True? Why would you consider one...

From the lightweight simplicity of this: To this: :scrutiny: :what: I just don't get it. :uhoh:

Hey guys, I need some knowledge. I am looking to buy a part for my AR-15. It's the early Colt 601 Prototype ball-detent pivot pin. I am going to slabside my lower as I want a 601 copy. I found a site that actually sells the original-spec pins. Problem? I think they only deal with...

How hot does the barrel of a rifle get on average? Specifically, an M1 Carbine? I ask because the front sight on my Carbine is loose, so I took it to a local gunsmith with an excellent reputation. I thought he would replace the sight key or roll pin, but he said all it needed was some Red...

My post-ban rifle. It's a Early M16 Pre-A1 clone built on a PWA lower. It's an early Air Force Colt M16 upper with small pivot hole. It still needs some work, (ie, refinish the lower in Colt Gray among others), but it's functional, and it's my baby. My rifle...

I heard someone say this on another board: Any chance that this is true? If so, I will alter my buying plans, and just buy tons of rifle mags. I don't have any hi-cap pistols. Should I get a hi-cap pistol with a bunch of mags just in case?

Hey all, I am wanting a "full-power" rifle. I am a huge fan of the AR-series, but the M1/M1A is calling me. What would be better? A CMP Service-Grade Garand cleaned up and restored to like-new? Or a older M1A? I say older because the newer M1As use crappy cast parts and receivers. I only want...

Hey guys! I bought a used S&W 1076 in great shape a while ago and while I'm carrying it with 165gr. Corbons right now, I wanna step it up to Thermonuclear and try out some Double-Tap and handloaded stuff. I'm wondering if I need a new recoil spring though. It still has the factory spring...

Hey guys!! I got my C&R and I'm going to use it to buy my first C&R rifle. Since funds are tight, I'm going to buy a 91/30 with accessories. Problem is, which place should I buy from? Currently, I have an FFL on file with AIM SUrplus, Souther Ohio gun and Century Arms International...

Hey all! I've always loved top-feed guns. Just a weirdo I guess. Anyway, besides a Robarms M96 Top-Feed or a Transferrable BREN, are there any other options for a guy who wants a top-feed rifle. I want a BREN, but can't afford a transferrable. I wouldn't mind the M96, but, again, the...

Hey all, I have quick question. I have a .22 rifle and I zeroed it at 50 yards a long time ago. I want to take it out and reconfirm the zero. It's not a precision rifle. Plinking and popping crows is all it does. Minute-of-Cokecan at 100 yards is fine accuracy for what I want. Anyway...
