I'm looking for a "gooseneck" style rail mount for an M16A1 upper, in order to mount an Aimpoint Micro. Yes, I know that flat-top is better, no I don't want to mount the optic high atop the carry-handle. These are not options. I am familiar with the general category of mount, but I have some...

I've lately been getting pretty annoyed with Wolf 7.62x39 ammo...is it possible that this stuff is getting worse? My one AK is grouping it like a shotgun. Anyway, I'm thinking about picking up some small lots of better quality stuff and seeing what is currently on the market that my rifles like...

Any way to get a fairly inexpensive, but rugged, ghost ring rear sight that would match up with a Trijicon/Wilson combat front sight blade? I have a line on a barrel with the front sight blade installed, but I would need the rear sight, as my 870 Express is the standard slick-top model...

I noticed my Aimpoint CompM2 has started behaving oddly. It seems like it is blooming pretty good at high settings, and when you look at it from the front you can see a red glow from the tube. The dot seems fine at lower settings, and I usually don't run it at full brightness, so I'm not sure...

Here's a stupid question: For people who put grip tape / skateboard tape on your handguns, where on the grip do you prefer to put it? The front strap seems the obvious place, but does anyone prefer it someplace else? If so, why? Thanks, Mike

EDIT: We've ID'ed it as a Guatemalan rifle. Carry on... I found a Czech vz24 contract mauser at the local funshop. Matching parts, decent wood, nice metal, bright bore, intact crest, no visible import markings. I'm pretty sure it is a south american contract rifle, as it is chambered in 7mm...

A recent discussion about NVDs got me thinking, what sources are there for IR illumination systems and lasers for civvies? I know a little bit about them (like they're restricted in a typically byzantine fashion by the government), but not enough to know what to look for, or where to look for...

Anyone know the spec differences between the two lights? I have an X200A, but they don't stock it anymore, so I can't directly check the specs. I assume there is a difference in lumen output and beam shape, and maybe battery life. Anyone know? Thanks, Mike

Anyone know the difference between the "standard" PMAG and the Revision M magazines? Is it just the ability to clip the cap to the floorplate? Thanks, Mike

I posted this over at WTA, but THR's rifle section has a lot more traffic: I have an M14 clone with an Ultimak on it now, so I'm wondering what glass to put on it. I already have an iron-sight only M1A and a conventionally scoped SAI NM, so I already have the iron sights and conventional...

I'll ask the easy one first: 1. Who has Hornady's 8126N ammo in stock? This is the 5.56 75gr TAP BTHP/WC T2 stuff. Now, the slightly more difficult one: 2. What ammo exhibits the best penetration (barrier or armor) with the old 1:12 twist 20" barrels? (5.56 chamber, obviously)? Yes...

Who has milspec HPT'ed & MPI'ed bolts in stock? 5.56, of course, and no need for the whole BCG. I just want to get a spare bolt or two. Thanks, Mike

Anyone know if this stuff is any good? RG's 5.56 ammo runs great in my ARs, can I assume that their 7.62 stuff is of equal quality? Thanks, Mike

I'm about to do my final (hahahahaha, right) modifications to my Vepr, and it includes swapping out the stock furniture. I know how to get the proper stock setup from Ace to deal with the slant-cut receiver, but I'm wondering about the pistol grip. Does anyone know if your standard AK pistol...

I think I know what it is, but I'm not able to test the hypothesis until after the first of the year... OK. I assembled an AR a few weeks ago, and finally got to test fire it today. Here are the particulars of the rifle: Used M16A1 upper from Ohio Ordnance Works (outside looks like heck...

I'm familiar with how to zero the Matech rear sight, but here's something I don't know: what ammo is it calibrated for? I ask because I'm thinking about plopping it onto an M4gery that I'm setting up to run Hornady 75gr TAP 5.56 ammo, and I'm wondering what that will do it its elevation...

I finally got a LaRue mount for my Aimpoint, and it is slightly elevated to allow lower 1/3rd cowitness. I'm going to be headed out soon to rezero the optic, and I suddenly wondered, is my sight height above bore considered to be different? I ask because I was looking at the different...

What's the difference, mechanically, between the P226 in .40 and the P226 in .357 Sig? Is it just the barrel, the barrel and recoil spring, or what? Basically, if I had one in .40, could I switch it out to .357 sig with a simple parts swap? Thanks, Mike

Anyone know of any, besides Gunbroker? I'm looking for good, solid, USGI equipment. Is TRW the only one that is truly good? I've heard about some people selling Springfield Armory (the company) bolts as being made by the Springfield Armory (the government arsenal), and I don't want to get the...

One is general, two are specific: 1. Do FHs, in general, have any braking effect on the muzzle? As in, is the choice between FHs and muzzle brakes as distinct devices, or can flash-hiders also help prevent muzzle rise effectively? I know that under the 94 AWB they were separated into two...
