    62 gr. v. 75 gr. in an AR-15?

    Last weekend I took a 20" AR-15 to the range and after firing a magazine of the 75 gr. .223 with which it was zeroed, I tried, for s&g, a magazine I had with me of IMI M193. The gun was fine with the 75 gr., but the M193 was way off, low and left. Enough to make me wonder about IMI ammo. So...

    An optic for an AR-15 hog gun?

    Can you suggest an optic for my cousin? He's got a 16" 7.62x39 AR-15 with which he'd like to do some hog hunting. What he'd like is a 1-4X scope with a quick detach mount and his budget is ~$350. He doesn't need to be combat capable. I rarely shoot with a scope so I'm not really conversant...

    AR-15 A1 NM rear sight aperture

    Does anybody make one? Or have they in the past? I know an A2 NM aperture will work, but this is for a retro gun.

    Shooting range orientation

    The range where I usually shoot is oriented such that we shoot from south to north and that seems to work well as the sun is never a problem. Of late I've been hunting around for some land to acquire and if I do buy something I'll want to fix up my own range. The couple of acreage parcels...

    Hornady 75 gr. .223 BTHP training TAP not for duty use?

    Why does training TAP have the caveat: "NOTICE: These products are not intended for duty use?"

    Has anybody used a Wilson TTU in a Cav Arms polymer AR-15 lower?

    Not all triggers agree with the Cav lowers; just wondering if it's been done. A Geissele SSA and an LMT two stage both would not reset reliably in my Cav lower. A Jard nonadjustable single stage does work. I'm just wondering what other trigger possibilities there are for these lowers.

    Gun Scrubber will damage an AR-15's chrome bore?

    Seen on another board; first I've heard of that. Anything to it?

    How recently has there been an incidence of credit card fraud with Model 1 Sales?

    It's been a while since I've purchased from them and in the interim I've seen much mention of credit account abuse stemming from doing business with them. I've also seen their claim that the problem has been addressed. So I'm curious as to how recently anyone has had a credit card problem...

    Currently available .45 ACP carbines?

    I'm considering getting a Beretta CX4 Storm in .45 ACP. What I'm wondering is if there are other .45 ACP carbines I might consider instead. The pistol conversion doesn't interest me nor does the heavyweight Thompson, and I already have a few .45 ACP carbines: Fox Wasp, HK USC and AR-15.

    7.62x39mm AR ballistics surprise

    Both of my 7.62x39mm ARs went to the range this morning, one a 16" Model 1 kit gun with an Aimpoint M4 and the other built with a Model 1 barrel that's been cut down to 14.5", with an Aimpoint T-1. Their barrels are both chrome moly with 1:10 twists. Both were zeroed at 50 yards, and I...

    Anybody have experience with an Enidine buffer in an AR?

    If so, what's your impression? And what might the downside (besides cost) be? The specific application I'm contemplating would be for a 7.62x39mm AR w/a rifle length stock and a 14.5" barrel.

    Legality of selling a defective firearm?

    I have a fairly rare, older firearm that I'm considering selling, but I'm wondering if I can do so without straying into some illegal situation. The gun functions fine, but the safety does not. With the safety on, if you pull the trigger it won't fire. But if you pull the trigger about three...

    Have any of y'all been in touch with Ironwood recently? I have been unable to get a response.

    What would be so bad about an AR w/an 11.5" barrel and a 5.5" FH?

    Through the ravages of unchecked BRD, I've wound up with almost another one, and I'm not sure just how I want to bring it onto the world. What lurks in the primordial soup of the parts box(es) includes a slickside flattop upper receiver, a lower with an Ace Ultra Light stock and a Geissele...

    Whatcha waitin' for?

    If C Products' 7.62x39 AR mags would just hit the shelves, if Geissele's SSA trigger would just ship, if my Cav-Aid lower could get done, if Oly would finish converting my Uzi mags, if the 20 round PMAGs I have backordered would come out and if Tapco would just release their SKS bolt and firing...

    Couldn't stop myself (retro AR)

    OK, while it is an A1 stock, it's got a trapdoor. Until a few days ago I thought that was correct for a 604/Air Force model. But no, it should have a non-trapdoor stock. But I've been waiting. And waiting. And today the dimpled safety selector arrived and I just couldn't help myself. I had to...

    What sort of AR would you build on a Cav Arms polymer lower?

    I've pretty much put together the AR configurations I've wanted, well, that are reasonable. So I really didn't have another in mind when Cavalry Arms' difficulties sprang up and I've now got one of their MKII polymer lowers coming my way. I'm open to suggestions, as I don't really know what...

    ArmaLite 7.62x39mm AR-15?

    I've heard they announced their rendition thereof at SHOT, but I haven't been able to find out any more. Any info available?

    AR-15 bolt carrier/upper combo question

    Is there any reason that I can't or shouldn't use a regular M-16 bolt carrier in a slick side upper?

    Any AR lower to use besides Double Star or CMMG?

    My next, and for the foreseeable future last, project is going to be building an all-Colt flattop pencil barrel upper, with the object being to wind up with a lightweight carbine. In the past I've built ARs with CMMG and Double Star stripped lowers because they appeared to be the equal of just...
