I just built an AR15 and bought a Vortex SPARC red dot sight for it. Have been thinking about night vision and wondered what would be best paired with the SPARC since it appears to be compatible with night vision devices. Am I supposed to get something that threads directly into the sight...

From what I've read an upper action block is a better way to secure things when adding or changing a barrel than a barrel clamp, so I ordered a DPMS Panther Claw in anticipation of working on my build. (I currently have a complete lower, including stock.) Then some guy on the AR.15 site said...

I'm learning a lot of nomenclature but sometimes the stuff throws me. I understand that you can't use an upper with M4 ramps with a barrel that has rifle cuts, but I assumed that would be determined by length of the barrel. Apparently there are lots of rifle-length barrels that use M4 ramps...

Is this a matter of the parts kit or the lower receiver itself? I saw an M4 upper with a 14.7" barrel and it said that it would only work with a "designated AR15 pistol lower receiver." It occurs to me that this has nothing to do with hardware, and everything to do with legal restrictions on...

This is a sea change in public policy dealing with mass shootings, as informed by real empirical evidence rather than... ahem, wishful thinking by the White House and Congressional Democrats. Of course it's really just common sense.

Whew! Just looking at it at the moment. The lower is black (MAG Tactical, magnesium alloy) but the parts kit with a Magpul stock and grip is dark earth. Now I have to narrow down the search for an upper. Here are the criteria: and to implement it

I'm building an AR-15 and have everything for the lower, so I'm thinking about an upper. I just noticed that a supplier has some .224 cartridges for less than $20 for 100, but I didn't know what it was or whether it's compatible with conventional .223/5.56. If not, are there special uppers and...

I've built knives and have some small milling equipment so thought about building my own AR-15. I looked around for stripped uppers and the price range is enormous $100 to $400. I wonder if someone could steer me to the better brands at least, and same with uppers, so I know good from cruddy...

I think I joined this forum about 10 years ago looking for advice on handguns, and ended up getting a CZ 75B and a Kahr P9, both of which have served me well. I put some Tausch grips on the CZ and got a Milt Sparks IWB holster for it, and a little pocket holster for the Kahr, and then just...

I have a couple of 9mm pistols and during an eviction of my landlord (which went down suddenly without any warning to me) the guns were taken into custody by the local sheriff. They gave me a receipt and I have since picked them up, but at this point I'm sure they've been test fired and the...

I mailed the application well over two months ago, and they clearly cashed the check according to my bank about 10 days later. Is there someone I can call or email at Utah Dept. of Public Safety to find out the status of my application?

I just noticed that my CCW permit in Virginia lapsed last week, and was wondering if there's anything special I should know about renewing it. I'm a Virginia resident, so it's an in-state permit, and my intention is to just drive to the county police station and pick up and submit a renewal...

I'm at my wit's end. I deleted my account on Gunbroker, but they keep sending me emails and continue to have access to my credit card. I can't access their customer service, because I no longer have an account there and can't reply to the emails because you can't reply to their emails. I'm in...

I just arrived back from my vacation in Key West last night to find that my bag, in which I had packed two declared pistols as well as some irreplaceable items, didn't make it to my final destination. The trip originated in Key West with Continental but was on US Air from Tampa, through...

I loaded a magazine of Corbon 9mm+P 115gr. JHP in a CZ 75B and racked a round. When I went to unload the weapon the round in the chamber wouldn't come out. It was stuck, and I couldn't pull the slide back. I eventually disassembled the gun and pulled the round out of the barrel with a pair of...

Hi: I just bought a used Kahr P9 from a dealer who took it back in trade. He told me that Kahr would honor the lifetime warranty, and I'm wondering if people know whether that's true. Does the lifetime warranty apply only to the original owner, or is it on the firearm itself? As a...

I submitted my application for a concealed carry permit in the state of Virginia on Feb. 2, 2004. As of today it has been 47 days since submission, and my understanding is that the permit must be issued within 45 days. I just talked to the circuit court and they indicated that the application...

If I know for certain that my permit has been issued (by calling the judge's clerk in chambers) but it has not yet been received in the mail, is it legal to carry concealed in Virginia? In lieu of actually knowing I'll probably not carry, but just wanted to check. There's an event tonight and...

Hi: I'm currently bidding on a used P9 (described as being in excellent condition) and had a couple of questions. First, does the limited lifetime warranty "roll over" to subsequent owners of the gun, or does it apply only to the original user? Second, were there some quality control...

The gun itself is excellent, but I'm beginning to doubt that it's the right firearm for me. I find it fairly difficult to grip the gun tightly without a tremble in my right hand. Not sure what the problem is, because I've never encountered it before. Some time ago I developed RSI (repetitive...
