    Muzzle Brake - How To Choose

    As much as people in this thread seem to complain about the noise of brakes being "rude" to nearby shooters, nobody seems to complain when someone starts shooting a big boomer like a Mosin M44 next to them. Brake or no brake, that thing's just LOUD. Honestly, I don't care if the person has a...

    Desert Eagle Refinished

    That's a very nice-looking pistol, Havok, and I actually think the gold looks good with the camo. Adds character.

    RIA 1911 Nightmare!

    As ljnowell said, don't make permanent alterations trying to fix a brand new firearm. If it doesn't run right, send it back. Armscor has the best customer service I've ever seen, and they will make it right. My original 1911 had accuracy issues; that was the real reason I sent it back. But after...

    Help identify rifle stock

    I'm pretty sure it's a Mannlicher style, and it possibly had an upper handguard at one point. Hard to tell from the potato-quality pics. It's possible it was from a pre-WW1 or interwar commercial Mauser.

    RIA 1911 Nightmare!

    Put the gun back to its original configuration and contact Armscor. They WILL fix you up. When I had a problem, they paid for shipping both ways (UPS picked it up at my front door) and and they actually wound up giving me a brand new gun that they hand-selected and tested. Even more incredible...

    RVers, what are you using for a gun safe?

    Pelican case, bolt it down, lock it with padlocks. It's designed to stand up to all the abuse an airline can give your gun, and then some, and still keep your guns in one piece. Really that's going to be your best solution. You're taking something that's already durable and designed for travel...

    RVers, what are you using for a gun safe?

    You could just get a Pelican case and bolt it down. I'd think that would suffice.

    Mako Group Fab AK-47 upgrades

    Honestly, they're way too expensive for what they are. Does your WASR have the left-side optics rail? If so, that'll be a more lightweight, rigid and inexpensive solution than any handguard mount. There's also much cheaper AK to M4 buttstock adapters, although Magpul offers equivalent stuff...

    922(r) Kit for SBR'd Scorpion

    I am not a lawyer, but 922(r) relies on 922(d), which is the definition of a "semi-automatic assault rifle". 922(d) was part of the expired portion of the law. Since 922(d) is no longer part of law, would it even be legal to use it as as reference or would it legally not even exist? Can any...

    Aero Survival rifle - brass catcher/bag?

    Get two of these (or something like them) and attach them to the top rail. Use them as a tie point for a bag with a wire frame in the neck (drawstring type bag but with a wire replacing the drawstring). http://www.sandstormcustomrifleslings.com/product/iwc-45-offset-qd-rail-mount/ It'll sit...

    Eotech 512

    EOTech is more the "brown standard", if you get my meaning. Honestly, they're the textbook example of how to do everything wrong with a red dot sight. Let's see: fragile, wandering zero at high and low temperatures, poor battery life while on and eats batteries even when turned off. The list...

    What AR15 brands should be avoided?

    That may be, but they also don't tell you what they're putting in your individual gun. You're getting a tossup every time. You may get an FN barrel one time, and another time they may not have any so they throw on a generic. Compare this...

    Muzzle Brake - How To Choose

    Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the recoil characteristics of my AR with the A2 flash hider, so I put a Miculek brake on it. No regrets.

    What AR15 brands should be avoided?

    Radical, at least, uses good parts. They use Fail-Zero bolt carrier groups, so you won't run into staking issues there. Where you save money with them is they make their excellent free-float handguard in-house. That, in my opinion, is what differentiates them from other manufacturers. All the...

    brands of ammo that won't "set in" or "set back"

    Welp, sounds like you have three choices: change your habits (which you refuse to do), change your ammo regularly, or change your gun. I'd suggest just putting a lock on the gun without unloading it, but I suspect you carry a Glock or similar so that wouldn't be safe. Honestly, it sounds to me...

    I don't get GB !

    Some sellers have unreasonable expectations of what their items are worth. They typically learn pretty quickly after they waste a few weeks of their lives.

    An unsettling experience my friend had recently

    While my carry piece is a 7-shot Polish P-64, my car gun is a 9-shot Ruger P90. A bit old-school, but it gets the job done, and that big ugly .45 commands immediate attention. Your friend was smart in that he took steps to verify pursuit and then responded appropriately. However, I'd have tried...

    Observations after 4 years of absence on the forums

    I finally broke down and bought my first AR a few months ago. The prices finally dropped to where I couldn't resist ($500 for a base gun that was exactly how I wanted it). Before that I'd been an AK and historic firearms guy. Well, I'll say this after fully customizing it: the AR is nice, but...

    SSA proposed NICS rule

    Honestly, these new rules aren't bad. At least 95% of the people who would be excluded under these rules shouldn't be owning weapons in the first place. And there IS an appeals process should you be one of the 5% who should not be on this list. Also note that number 5, it's because they REQUIRE...
