    Stuck Fake Supressor

    I recently obtained a Freedom Ordnance FX-9 pistol and very much want to remove the fake suppressor that came on it. I have tried strap wrenches, vice grips, pipe wrenches and everything in between and can't get it to budge. They claim no loctite and right hand threads. Just wondering if...

    Hunting Pellet Recommendations

    I would like to gather some recommendations on some good expanding hunting pellets in .177 caliber to stock up on and use to defend my garden. I am taking a hard look at the Crosman premier hollow point and destroyer right now. They seem to be two of the best and affordable options. I would...

    Spring vs Nitro Piston

    I am considering the Crossman TR77 as my first pellet rifle in many years and cannot decide whether to go with the regular spring piston version, or the nitro piston version. I would really appreciate it if someone could highlight the differences between the two piston types. I am leaning...

    MS Open Carry Law and the Backlash

    I am pleased that my home state of Mississippi has joined several other states in allowing permit-less open carry. However several businesses in my local area of South MS have recently put up "No Guns Allowed" signs (even though concealed carry has gone unhindered for many years). I would like...

    Problems Modernizing My AK

    I have a Romanian wasr 10 and am having such a hard time trying to get a modern polymer furniture set on it. Specifically the upper hand guard. I tried an ATI set that didn't fit. Now I am trying to get a Tapco set on. The upper hand guard just seems to big to fit between the collars on the gas...

    M&P 9 Barrel: Five Grooves Instead of Six?

    I have recently noticed that both my 9mm m&p models have five grooved barrels instead of the usual six that I see in the rest of my 9mm pistols. I was wondering if anyone here knew why and if there is an advantage to having more or less grooves.

    Changes to Glock Trigger Bars?

    I recently ordered an OEM Gen 3 Glock 17 trigger bar to stick on my Glock 19 (because I like the smoother trigger more). The problem is what I received in the mail is pretty different from the stock trigger bar on my 3rd Gen G19. The arm that deactivates the striker safety has an odd hump on it...

    Stuck Castle Nut on My AR-15

    I have a Bushmaster AR carbine and I really want to put a single point sling attachment on it. I have a Tapco multi-tool to get the castle nut off, but it will not budge. I've tried dousing it with break-free before trying to move it without so much as 1mm of movement. I've put so much pressure...

    Glock 19 and Glock 17 Recoil

    Is it weird that I enjoy the recoil impulse of my Glock 19 over my Glock 17? I'm not sure I can describe it well, but the Glock 19 is more of a joy to shoot. With the G19 I return to target faster and the perceived recoil seems to be less. I find this odd being that the G19 is lighter and has a...

    Ruger 10/22 Stovepipe Problem

    My beloved 10/22 has been giving me stove pipes lately, about 5 out of every 50 rounds. My first guess was it's lack of cleaning. I ruled that out by stripping it down and cleaning it out and lubing it up. Could I just need a new recoil assembly, extractor spring, ejector, or something else...

    New Magpul MBUIS Hitting Way High

    I recently installed a flip up MBUIS on top of my Bushmaster AR (without a riser) and after trying to sight it in today it is still hitting so high at 100 yards I can't even stay on paper, and my front sight has run out of adjustment range. My front sight is up so high (to lower the point of...

    S&W M&P22 Pistol Review

    I would like to offer a brief review of this pistol for those who may be considering buying it. My full size M&P9 is my "go to" gun. I'd love to shoot it multiple times a week, but that wouldn't fit my budget. A dedicated .22 that would give me close to the same feel of my M&P9 is ideal for...

    Ballistic Tips VS Hollow Points

    I am trying to decide whether I should invest in some ballistic tip ammunition or hollow point ammunition. This is for my 5.56/.223 AR and for use in a HD role. I want to replace my soft point ammo because I realized after finally shooting some that the soft point deforms quite a bit because of...

    AK-47 Optics Mounting Options

    I recently acquired a WASR 10/63 with the side rail mount. I'd like to gather some suggestions for how to mount optics. I can't decided whether to utilize that side rail with some sort of contraption or get a bolt cover with a weaver mount on it.

    9mm Winchester USA Mixed with NATO Ammo?

    I was checking out some 9mm 50 round Winchester USA boxes recently at my local walmart and noticed they had the regular ammo that is supposed to be in there along with nato spec rounds mixed in. Has anyone else noticed this? It seems a bit odd that they would mix up standard pressure ammo and...

    S&W M&P9: Sloppy Slide to Frame Fit?

    I really like my S&W M&P9 a lot. However, after owning it for about 6 months I have recently noticed the slide (when fully forward) has more side to side wiggle than any of my other guns. I think its been like this since day one, but I'm not 100% sure. If I had to estimate it would be about 1mm...

    Remington Model 121 and 11

    I have a Remington model 121 pump .22 and a model 11 shotgun and I was wondering if anyone could give me an approximate value. Both are in good condition. According to Remington's dating "code" the model 121 was manufactured in 1949 and the model 11 in 1941. Thank you. I'm finding out that...

    Enducing Stress Before Training

    Lately I've been experimenting with inducing mental and or physical stress before shooting at my range to add a new challenging element to my training and keep from sticking to just lackadaisical "square range training." Before I go to shoot I might go for an intense run, do enough pull ups or...

    Detail Stripping a S&W M&P

    I have a S&W M&P9 that I would like to detail strip, or more specifically take the sear out to polish it up a bit. Does anyone know of a website/video that illustrates this process well? I know how to do it to Glocks, I imagine it's similar, but I want to make sure I'm not missing something...

    Social Intelligence

    I thought is was especially relevant to forum posters (especially gun forum posters), so I wanted to bring to attention the fact that there is a company, most likely not the only one, who's purpose is to scour the internet in search of anything you have put on it or are associated with and sell...
