    Academy Monarch brand 20 gauge #1 buckshot?

    I havn’t tried Monarch but Rio branded 20 gauge 1 buck 9 pellet patterns better (about 0.75”-1” wide per yard of distance) than 3 or 4 buck in my 870 and penetrates better. 1 buck stacks 3 pellets per layer in this loading.

    why not a bullpup?

    why not a bullpup?

    As mentioned earlier the main drawback to using a bullpup indoors is the inability to use it from both shoulders without eating brass. When you pie a corner you lead with the weapon, not your support shoulder. The Keltec bullpups address this downfall. The forward ejecting RFB .308 is too much...

    XM-177 Type flash hiders ... do they work?

    It’s all good, correcting misinformation is not a personal attack. I perceived no flame (ha).

    Looking for advice on a AR-40 upper.

    So far this is the only place I’ve found that offers ramped .40 AR barrels: https://shootinginnovationsllc.com/products/40sw-ramped-pcc-barrel Note that these ramped barrels and the feed ramp I made won’t work with all Glock mag lowers. I tried fitting my completed upper with a Foxtrot Mike FM9...

    Looking for advice on a AR-40 upper.

    @Nclear79 I recently built a .40 S&W upper with a New Frontier Armory Glock mag lower and matching last round bolt hold open upper set. I used a Faxon 10” barrel. Hand cycling the rounds fed fine no problem but I had some troubleshooting to do right off the bat when I took it to the range. I...

    First AR Assembly... Need Advice.

    @N555 by any chance were those broken bolts being used on a piston/op rod gas system? Those are notoriously harder on bolts than a regular direct impingement system.

    XM-177 Type flash hiders ... do they work?

    The 5.5” flash hiders are more barrel extensions than hiders. They may mute the muzzle flash to an extent versus a bare muzzle but they aren’t as effective as a real flash hider. Unburned power exiting the muzzle mixes with oxygen in the air to burn causing a brighter flash. One way to stop an...

    Mid-length Gas System With Carbine Buffer?

    I like adding heavier than standard 3 oz buffers to slow down the action operation with carbine length gas, but have found reliability will suffer when you add too much weight to most mid or rifle length systems. Different manufacturers have different gas port diameters so there’s no one buffer...

    H-Buffer for 11.5" bbl AR15, or no?

    Never used an H-buffer with it, but my personal experience is with a 11.5" Colt barrel with 5" FH. I put about 3000 rounds of Wolf downrange without any failures after installing an MGI recoil reducing buffer. Before adding the heavy buffer I was getting occasional failures to extract and feed...

    Is this the best deal going on AR15's?

    My S&W 5.45 M&P now serves flawlessly, though it had some teething problems. When I first shot it, it would give me patterns, not groups. It would not hold less than a 24 MOA group. Embarrassed with my shooting, I inspected the rifle for loose components to blame, and found the barrel rattled...

    It is a kick! My palm is still aching from that thing! And the 12 ga SBS... And the 30-06 pistol... The concussion from the side felt like a padded punch to the chest! This guy has the coolest stuff ! :D

    Are SBR AR's as unreliable as I'v been told?

    AR platforms that utilize the pistol and carbine length gas systems have a higher occurance of failures to extract and feed than those using rifle length gas systems. The reason being the gas pressure is higher when it is tapped out of the barrel and into the bolt carrier. The exact numbers of...

    The 300

    On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 300! Quite possibly the best movie ever. Well worth the price of admission, visually stunning, awesome battle scenes, and inspiring to boot. I'll probably see is several times over. MOLON LABE!

    Buckshot patterns with a Patternmaster choke

    More test results Well I ordered a lot more buckshot, and found some more cardboard. The tempurture at the time of testing was a gritty 28 degrees, with wind and snow flurries. Distance was again 20 yards, and 5 shots were fired and averaged. Two exceptions were the federal express 4 buck...
