    sbr no tax stamp

    Go to an AR manufactrers website practically, if you buy a 14.5 inch barrel it comes with a permanently attached flash suppressor, its completely legal. The total length therefore is 16 inches.

    Butler Creek Folding Stock Problems w/Mini-14

    The butler creek stock Ive owned since 1994 works better than the factory stock did after a few years, the factory stock has a funny feature where the trigger assembly likes to fall out when firing on occasion, the butler creek fits perfect, and has no problems. Do some adjusting with the...

    M4 Barrel Profile

    The M4 weighs 6.22lbs, the Hbar weighs 7.28 lbs, thats over a pound heavier, quite a difference. The M4 version also offers other features standard that some manufacturers dont put on all carbines. So if you want to guarantee those features you need to get the M4 carbine, or pay more to have...

    from ww2 infantry soldier which rifle

    Back then they had full auto as an option also, the BAR. Of course if ammo wasnt an issue (endless supply following you) I really liked the M16A2 (never left me down, great accuracy, Im sure the A4 with optics such as the ACOG would be a great choice (3 rd burst no auto). Modern military...

    Use and purpose of tactical lights

    For a flashlight I can count on Ive tested several, Ive found some imported taclights that just cant be broken and define the word bright. For my gas piston carbine I have a small light Ive put together and updated a few times with now the most powerful LED (XPG-R5 LED) that 2/cr123 batteries or...

    What caliber for sharks?

    A thump to the gills with a baseball bat and they die pretty qickly, even the big ones. Why so much overkill for sharks. Heck Ive seen people use little clubs that fit in their pockets just for that purpose. Like was mentioned earlier, keep in mind your boat/ship and possibly fuel, etc are...

    I am new to rifles...Taking a hard look at SIG556DMR and/or SIG516Patrol..thoughts?

    I personally prefer the AR15 design, to me its light, accurate, easy to maintain, made like a lego set for modifications, has far more aftermarket support than any other rifle in the world, and just feels so much better to hold, carry, and shoot. Im skeptical of the sig 556 actually being any...

    Air Rifle, Firearm, and Discharge in VA

    Check with your local police, and township. In mine a bb gun, airgun, pellet gun, bow, etc are considered a firearm for the purposes of discharging one. Whether the ordance is enforced is another story, I know plenty who target practiced with compound bows in the neighborhood over the years with...

    I am new to rifles...Taking a hard look at SIG556DMR and/or SIG516Patrol..thoughts?

    The weight difference between the AR design and the 556 are far more differences than just the piston assembly. Piston assemblies weigh mere ounces. The weight difference is the entire rifle design.

    night vision questions

    You could always get a high quality taclight aside from surefires absurdly overpriced flashlights. I have mulitple flashlights with LEDs that surefire hasnt even gotten their out of date company to consider yet. When updating the LEDs I spend $10 and get the entire reflector, circuit board...

    How often do you clean your .22lr bore?

    Every time I shoot any firearm it gets cleaned. It doesnt require alot of cleaning if you do it that way.

    Watching a promo for the FN Scar... Barrel life question over M16

    I guess then you claim that hundreds of soldiers who reported from the entire division with every M16 that 3 infantry brigades in that division has, plus several armorers, and they spent all of that time working on them, it was all a dream. RIGHT. If I remember right the detail was around 2...

    Watching a promo for the FN Scar... Barrel life question over M16

    "Not in the US Army. At all. SHvar, this may apply where ever you served, but is completely incorrect in almost every way for the US." Maybe not now if it has changed, but depot maintance was done after wartime in the US army by that units own soldiers on post, in a detail assigned to many...

    Why no talk of the LMT piston AR?

    Dont fall into that rumor about gas piston ARs having a problem with carrier tilt, in fact only a few single rifles with gas piston retrofit kits installed had issues, but what really caused the wear? Ive been watching my extension tube closely, it shows absolutely no wear, if you look at the...

    First AR-15

    Thats why the price I quoted on LMT was higher, it includes a charging handle, and handguards. I noticed their proces went up on a few models since I lloked at them and priced them a while back.

    AR-15 Upper Receiver advice

    Most manufacturers of carbine ARs use M4 feedramps in them, I dont know which dont use them. Bushmaster calls the M4 feedramp an M2 feedramp (just their trademark name). I believe many manufacturers just cut them in, and dont call them anything, or mention the m4 feedramp being there.

    Why no talk of the LMT piston AR?

    That price came directly from their website/catelog (right before I posted by the way) for a new LMT gas piston MRP carbine. They were one manufacturer I checked before ordering my gas piston upper. The LMT gas piston upper costs 1484.18 new. A similar POF gas piston upper costs $1100-$1875...

    AR-15 Charging Handle Question

    I dont think an unlocked charging handle can cause any harm at all to your face, especially since the handle rides freely on top of the bolt carrier. Over the years Ive seen a few unlocked handles on other peoples ARs move a bit rearward, but nothing that really catches your attention when it...

    Registering Guns?

    The "gun registration" idea is always brought up on the news and TV because our TV networks, and their media producing sources are almost exclusively run and owned by the far left and their lackies.

    Why no talk of the LMT piston AR?

    Im sure their piston rifle is very nice, a MRP piston M4, but at almost $2054.85 not including delivery, taxes, transfer fees, etc, its expensive. I read a few articles comparing it to the SR556 and H&K 416, all 3 rifles were rated very very well, just different features offered on each that...
