    Can't seat half-empty mags in my AR

    I went to go shoot this afternoon, and discovered that I couldn't get my mags (30rnd D&H w/magpul followers) to seat in my RRA AR when they had more than about 10 rounds in them. I'd had the rifle for thousands of rounds, and had this problem with all the mags I bothered to test (a half dozen)...

    Experience with Bullite, "Laser Training Bullet"?

    http://www.rovatec.com/bullite.php Has anyone used/fondled/seen one of these? (How) Do the targets record in any fashion where you hit? (I'm not really feeling any desire to run out and get one, so you don't need to talk me out of anything. I just think it is a neat little idea, and I'm...

    AR-15 firing pin impact during loading

    So, um, my AR-15's firing pin seems to be lightly striking the primers when rounds are loaded (not enough to set them off, thank goodness). That seems Really Bad. What is the procedure for deciding what has gone wrong?

    Castle Rock v. Gonzales: Making the Court's Protection Real

    From the ACLU: Castle Rock v. Gonzales: Making the Court's Protection Real Tragic what happened to the lady, but this seems like this will be a candidate for a hypothetical second edition of Dial 911 and Die. (Once it finishes wending its way through the courts, anyways.) Unfortunately...

    see-thru FAL scope rings?

    I'm looking to mount an IOR tactical scope on my FAL. I'd like rings that are see-thru so I can fall back to my iron sights if necessary. But the only ones I've come across are these quick-detach ones from DSA. I'm very suspicious of this quick detach stuff and have no need for it, so I'm...

    problem applying for florida concealed weapons license

    So, a month or three ago, I sent off my paperwork to apply for the Florida concealed weapon license. Then, a few weeks ago, I got a notice from the FL Department of Ag & Consumer Services saying that my application was incomplete, because my training certificate (NRA Basic Pistol) didn't have...

    Electronic targets: how do they work?

    http://www.swissrifles.com/shooting/ shows an electronic target monitoring thingy, which is able to determine where on the target a bullet strikes. Does anyone know how that works, from an electronics/sensors standpoint? (My best guess is a steel plate with vibration sensors mounted on the...

    My letter to the paper

    Ok, so the University of Colorado College Republicans had a little Second Amendment Day thing on the 31st. I went. Ho hum. Some good speakers (David Kopel), some lame speakers (some girl from CU Colorado Springs). Nothing exciting happened. The Colorado Daily, a free newspaper, widely read by...

    compressed air?

    I've found a few mentions of people using compressed air to clean their firearms, but I thought I'd check: Are there any pitfalls/caveats/things to keep in mind when using compressed air? (I realize metal isn't going to start falling apart if I blow air on it, but I'm just wondering if there...
