    Got my Holy Grail Gun today! Sig 551!

    Very cool gun. I was lucky enough to get a chance to shoot an LE dealer sample 552 once. Have fun with it!

    H&K 45 USPc or Sig P220c 45

    The HK45c is a big step forward ergonomically from the USP in my opinion. It's much easier to get a high grip on the gun.

    Which AR for me?

    What kind of shooting are you planning on doing with it? You can throw lots of money at an AR. But unless you are doing some fairly high level competition the money would likely be better spent on the nut pulling the trigger. Almost any basic chrome lined AR (i.e. affordable and not above...

    M16 in Afghanistan

    M855 can still penetrate a steel helmet at 500m. It will happily sail right through you, and an "A" zone hit is going to ruin your entire month. Obviously a 7.62x51 has more horsepower at that distance. But just hitting a target with a standard infantry rifle or carbine of whatever caliber at...

    Odd Jams With Pmags And Stripper Clips

    I've never had a problem using 30rd Pmags, but I use a StripLula for loading strippers. You may want to contact Magpul - they are always very interested in feedback on their magazines and will generally replace any defective ones.

    Top Shot (Season 4)

    Live 40mm wouldn't have been visually impressive. The lethal radius of a 40mm HEDP is only 5m, but they likely would have had to stay well back to ensure no one caught a random bit of frag. The white cased rounds with a blue tip are definitely chalk. Here's a link to a promo for a Tac TV...

    AR vs AK: Let's talk about accuracy

    The casualties at Wanat were the result of a poorly positioned, lightly defended outpost being surrounded by a much larger force and attacked during a period where air support wasn't available for an extended time. All of the American heavy weapons were knocked out in the initial surprise...

    M855A1 New 5.56 military round. Huge progress in 223 rem. Anyone has tried this?

    I'd love to see some of this get into the hands of private citizens just so we could see some actual testing of it. Given the huge disparity between the comments of folks like DocGKR vs. the info the Army has released it's difficult to know what to think. If the Army's claims are true it would...

    newbie needs help. 14.5 or 16

    If you are planning on hiking around with a lot of weight (308 on your back) I'd make the gun as small and light as possible. That means 14.5" with a permed muzzle device to me. A 16" bare muzzle is a no-go IMO. The one I used to have back in the dark ages of the ban produced large 8"...

    Top Shot - Season 3

    I don't think it's just limited to the competition shooters. We've seen military and law enforcement who fall apart once they get out of their comfort zone. It's usually pretty apparent that some of these folks only really shoot one discipline. The AK challenge definitely looked like fun...

    temporarily adjusting for 25yd distance with AR zero'd for 50yd. in repeatable manner

    See this post by Molon on AR15.com: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_18/328143_index.html You need to use an allen wrench to adjust your elevation wheel to allow travel below the 6/3 setting. You can then zero at 100 yards at 6/3 -6 clicks, or 50 yards at 6/3 -4 clicks, or 25 yards at 6/3 +5...

    Help/suggestions on next .223/5.56 purchase

    In your price range, I'd look seriously at a Colt 6920, Bravo Company USA, or Daniel Defense.

    Do you Use Electronic Ear Muffs When Shooting Rifles?

    For me it depends entirely on the location in which I'm shooting. Indoors, or in an enclosure (your typical "bench" type range) electronic muffs just don't cut it. Regular muffs + ear plugs are the way to go. Now if I'm actually out in the open my Howard Leight electronic muffs work great...

    1911 MSH: Arched or Straight

    When using an arched mainspring housing I sometimes find that I won't depress the grip safety far enough. This is never a problem for me using a straight housing.

    AR - M4 vs Mid length

    Is the mid-length gas system a little better than a carbine on a 16" barrel? Probably. Does that make a carbine bad? Hardly. You'll still get very very good service from a 16" carbine, and if you wanted there are some companies (like BCM) that sell a 14.5" M4gery with an extended flash hider...

    Is it just my imagination

    I went from being a "wunder-nine" guy to a 1911 guy in the past year. Ultimately it came down to which I shot better, and I found I could shoot a 1911 faster and more accurately than a Sig 228 (my own gun), Glock 19, 17, 22 (borrowed), or Beretta 92 (rented). So now the Sig is gone and I have...

    Critique My Rifle

    Midwest Industries makes a decent drop in quad rail, you can get KAC RAS seconds (cosmetic blemishes, but new) for fairly cheap as well, and Troy makes good stuff too. Aside from the light and backup irons mentioned above, I'd look into a sling. Either a Viking VTAC or Blue Force Gear VCAS. I...

    EBR Collection: Where Do I go Now?

    I notice you have the following covered: AR pattern AK pattern FAL pattern HK pattern Bullpup 5.56x45 7.62x39 7.62x51 Maybe an M-1, M-1 Carbine, M-14 or Mini-14? Any of those would fill a niche for a traditional stocked semi-auto. What about a SIG 556 or FNC? Both kind of a blend of AR and AK.

    Critique My M16A4gery Build

    I have no problem using my TA31 at close range - as long as the eye relief works for you with an A2 stock you should be fine.
