    Has Brownells raised the price of Glock mags?

    Natchez has them for a good price, around 20 for standard magazines. http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentId=productSearch&searchItem=glock%20magazine As you can imagine, some of them are out of stock due to current demand.

    The Nation's Militaria and Arms Show

    I figured I would check out this show again this year. Even though the show's name focuses on, well, Militaria, the show also offers modern guns and accessories and seems to have some new and unique vendors when I've gone to it. Here's their site if you're interested: http://www.showmasters.us/...

    Glock 26 and Subsonic/Supersonic Loads

    I haven't yet fired any +P rounds even though the handgun is rated for it. I'd probably avoid any kind of really hot stuff, 35,000 psi is enough.

    Glock 26 and Subsonic/Supersonic Loads

    Hi all, I'm wondering if 124 grain loads are subsonic in this handgun. I realize that they vary slightly between each round and loading, but speeds should be relatively close. The 26 barrel is 3.46". 115 grain loads should be supersonic, and 147 grain rounds should be subsonic, but how...

    Simple, Cheap Natural Ways to Clean Guns

    Yeah, I figured those two substances would be a little more harsh, but I wasn't planning on letting them sit for very long. Good info though. Mineral oil is interesting. Does it leave a residue? Does it get rid of lead and copper?

    Simple, Cheap Natural Ways to Clean Guns

    Like most here, I've got a can of CLP and a handful of bore brushes and cleaning patches. But the stuff doesn't smell too great, and it's probably not the best stuff to breathe in. I've seen some speak highly of Mobil V-Twin 20/50, as a long term gun oil, and that got me thinking about...

    Worst Gun Show ever - Las Vegas

    Yeah, sometimes the bigger shows are better bets. Was the Hitler Youth present like they were at the Nation's Gun Show? :D (http://www.thenationsgunshow.com/)

    7.62x39 Barrel Length and Muzzle Blast

    I would like to hear your experiences with different barrel lengths on 7.62x39 platforms, specifically 16" vs 20." Some say the longer barrel tends to cause more vibration leading to lesser accuracy, while others say they get better results with a longer barrel and sight radius. Also, I'm...

    Best .223 or 5.56 choices for 1:9 twist rate

    One more thing, I'm not sure which loads tend to be more accurate out of the Saiga, .223 or 5.56. (the answer is probably 5.56 but I'd be happy to hear others' results) And does anyone have any long-distance range results, as far as different weights? Thanks.

    Shameless bump... I know I'm not the only one out there with a 1:9 barrel

    Cool, thanks for the input. I would definitely like to hear how they work out for you Eb1.

    Best .223 or 5.56 choices for 1:9 twist rate

    I found this page as well, which states up to 73gr, but of course acceptable performance is different that optimal performance.

    Best .223 or 5.56 choices for 1:9 twist rate

    Just wanted to hear your opinions on which weights/loads perform well for a barrel with a 1:9 twist. The general consensus seems to be that you can use "up to" 69 grains with a 1:9 barrel, but does anyone have experience at over 100yd ranges where heavier rounds out a 1:9 might begin to keyhole...

    How to make polymer mags stronger?

    I like your thinking, but carbon fiber would be too expensive and fiberglass material would be hard to fit. And I don't know if the latter would offer any protection to the mag underneath. I'm thinking some kind of liquid coating that dries and can be layered on for uniform strength.

    How to make polymer mags stronger?

    That's why I said outside the magwell area!! And not some ghetto electrical tape either :cool:

    How to make polymer mags stronger?

    Yeah, I know it's fine for the most part. It's just a little more peace of mind. I don't care that much about aesthetics, so with that in mind, is there anything i can layer on to the mags?

    How to make polymer mags stronger?

    Thanks for the replies. I've heard good things about Magpul and pmags but I don't have an AR at the moment. I have a few Surefire mags and I am satisfied with those, but I just wanted to figure out a way to make my Master Molder mags, which are thinner, stronger. All ideas are welcome. :cool:
