I've been meaning to stick a flip-up front sight on my railed gas block for a while now. I looked at the offerings from YHM, MI, GG&G and others and none of them struck my fancy for some reason, so naturally I was very interested when Troy decided to produce a gas block-mounted front sight. I...

I'm helping my cousin install a YHM flip-up gas block on his Bushmaster, and it would appear there is a slight fitment issue. When installed, the YHM sight/gas block does not completely cover the unfinished sections of the barrel where the old FSB was previously mounted. Installing the...

I'm shopping around for a flip-up front sight to mount onto my gas block and I'm really eyeballing up the new gas block sight from Troy. The only thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on the Troy sight is the fact that it has a swivel attachment on the sides of...

I've got a quick question about AR-15 gas blocks with rails on the top of them (most claim to be weaver rails). Are they all usually the same height? Is there some standardized height that everyone uses for railed gas blocks, or do they often vary from manufacturer to manufacturer? I'm just...

I've been slowly buying parts in anticipation of the Bohica Arms FAR-50 upper that is due in at the end of March. Tonight I finally made the decision to buy a 20X Super Sniper scope after reading a number of positive reviews about it. There is a club about 35-40 minutes away has a 1000 yard...

My dad has been very very VERY slowly building a target AR for the past several months. He just now got around to finally finishing the lower receiver completely. He put down "20-inch upper with 1-8 twist" on his Christmas list and I'm thinking about buying him one. He wasn't exactly specific...

OK, my sister has been involved with a guy now for a while now who is, for lack of a better description, a worthless piece of crap. Both myself and my mom and dad are highly suspicious of this guy. The guy lives on his friend's couch, and more or less moves from couch to couch as he wears out...

I just bought a Saiga-12 this past Saturday at a gun show. I've wanted one of these things for a long long time, but was too chicken sh*t to convert one, and too cheap/impatient to buy/then wait for a Tromix Saiga. I finally broke down and got one and I ended up ordering all the parts for the...

OK, so let's just say, hypothetically speaking, you got into some kind of very bad situation with no feasible means of retreat. Fearing for your life, you draw, fire but miss and your weapon jams as it is cycling the next round. Realizing the jam, the BG immediately closes quarters very quickly...

So I've delved into a little bit of Kitchen table gunsmithing with my 1911 and I might have got in over my head, I'm not sure. Anywho, I'm working with a Colt Model 80, and trying to install a number of Wilson parts into it, mostly to dress up the gun a little, but hopefully I'll get a little...

I was perusing one of the local shops tonight and came across a NIB 4" Smith and Wesson 686 for $399.99. I have to ask, is that a good price for this gun? I'm not as up on wheelguns as I am autoloaders, but I thought that seemed like a rather nice price for such a nice-sized Smith & Wesson .357...

Against my better judgment, I decided to completely disassemble my 1911 last night. In doing so, I was shocked to discover that the internals of the gun absolutely reeked of dead fish, like a old tackle filled with well-used lures. Anyone else have this happen? Kinda odd and just a tad bit...

What is probably the toughest available finish available for firearms these days? If I had to guess, I'd probably say GLOCK's tennifer finish is pretty tough, but that's not exactly something that is available to buy by itself, is it? Whats the best I've got to work with?

My dad bought a Kahr PM9 not too long ago for CCW, and while he loves 99% of the gun, the chunky, sharp-edged slide stop is beginning to bug him. He's not at all interested in ordering Kahr's (rather expensive for what you get) concealed carry modifications in order to get a beveled slide stop...

I was blastin' away with my Bushmaster this past Friday when suddenly it stopped firing. I instantly assumed it had jammed as a result of my new magazines, but amazingly they have been doing their job flawlessly thus far. So I pulled the mag, cleared the chamber, and pulled it apart. This is...

My younger sister is getting her first job, which, like a lot of first-time jobs for many people, is at the local McDonald's. She has been placed on the morning shift, and the place itself opens at 6:00 AM. However she was instructed to meet one of the employees at the Post Office at 3:30 AM...

What would you guys say is the smallest and lightest revolver out there that is still what one would consider "practical"? By practical I mean nothing less than .38 spl, and large enough that you can get more than one finger around the grip. No derringers or microscopically small .22s. I was...

So what is the most impractical gun you own? I'm looking to get a S&W 500 with a crazy long barrel one of these days. That'll probably be the most impractical gun I'll ever buy...

Before I go stumbling through the saiga-12.com forums, I thought I'd ask this question here first. I was looking through Atlantic Firearm's selection of Saiga-12 shotguns, and noticed that in addition to the politically-correct, sporterized version, there are two offerings for properly...

Quick stupid/random question about the XDs. What is it like to field strip them? Are they as simple as a GLOCK?
