    Tell me about this AR gas block on Brownells

    http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=21445 How hard would it be for me to replace my front sight tower with this thing? Seems like a good buy if it means I could put a scope on my AR without it being 4 inches above the barrel.

    http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7380378 Are churches gun-free in California? I know they are in my state.

    "I think it's the shoulder thing that flips up."

    This is probably a duplicate, but I wanted to post this in case any of you guys are having a bad day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospNRk2uM3U

    Change of mind from .45 to 9mm

    POTENTIAL CALIBER WAR OH NO Yes, I know this isn't the most original question in the world. If this kind of thing bugs you just move on. The similarly-named thread a few lines down made me want to ask this question. Has anyone gone from preferring .45 to 9mm? I'm seriously considering...

    This is NOT a 9mm vs. .45 thread.

    I was just curious about something. I know there are members here from several different countries, and that to say 9mm is popular overseas would be a bit of an understatement. What I'm curious about is this: Is the whole smaller round vs. larger round thing an issue with gun folks in other...

    "Help me decide" thread of the day.

    I just acquired some trade-in credit at my local store, and I need a good little handgun for ccw since the only other pistols I have are ginormous .45s. I've narrowed it down to a P3AT or a little S&W snub .38. My concerns about the P3AT? Reliability. I've heard both good things and bad...

    Holdin' it by the magwell

    I see soldiers on the news, in movies, etc. holding their rifles like this: and I can't figure out why. What advantage does holding the gun that way give you that it would be so common?

    Rifles that use AR mags

    Are there any other rifles out there (besides the SU-16 and, of course, the AR) that take AR magazines?

    XD-9/XD-45 question

    I'm planning on buying an XD in the near future, and I'm torn between the 9mm and the .45 (no I'm not bringing that question up). I've only held my friend's .45; I've never seen the XD-9 before. Is there a difference in the grip size/length between the two? How does the XD-9 feel in the hand...

    Alphabetical Frameology

    J-frames, k-frames, n-frames. I'm a little confused as to what these labels mean. Could someone point me to an explanation of the different revolver frame types? Thanks a lot!

    My first attempt at "gun photography"

    It's an old Argentine 1911 my grandfather gave me. I just thought it looked kind of cool.

    Guns and College, the sequel

    So I'm at the gunstore today BSing with the owner and he asks if I have a "totin' permit." I tell him I didn't bother getting one because I'm going off to college in a few weeks and I wouldn't be able to bring a gun with me anyway. He proceeded to tell me that a new law was passed on July 1st...

    Help me identify an Argentine 1911

    Many thanks in advance to those of you smarter than I at this stuff. On the slide, it says: PISTOLA AUTOMATICA BALLESTER-RIGAUD CAL.45 FABRICADA POR H.A.F.D.A.S.A. BUENOS AIRES PAT.48282-INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA Then on the other side, EJERCITO ARGENTINO with the Argentine crest next to...

    Universal M1 carbines

    I've got a Universal (yes, I know) and I'm having problems with the surplus magazines I try in it. They seem to sit too low and cause either failure to feed or a minor jam of some kind pretty regularly. The 5-round mag that came with the gun shoots flawlessly every time, so I'm thinking maybe...

    Swiss Guards

    Does anyone know what the Swiss guards at the Vatican use? Just out of curiosity. I'm not talking about the halberds, I'm talking about the stuff they grab when they need a real weapon.

    Thinking about buying a 24/7 .45?

    Holy crap don't do it. I learned my lesson about buying a Taurus because it's a couple hundred bucks cheaper. This is a truly beautiful gun and I love the way it feels in my hand. It's got a great grip, feels perfect, which is good because if I ever had to actually use it I would have a...

    Swivels for 1300

    Will this work on a Winchester 1300? How, exactly, does it fit on the magazine cap? Thanks!

    Guns and college

    I'm now the proud owner of a Taurus 24/7 .45acp (thanks for all the suggestions on my previous thread). Problem, though, is that I'm transferring to the University of West Georgia this fall and I'm going to be living on campus. Am I going to have to leave it home? I much doubt they'd let me...
