    PSA AR Deal

    http://www.colt.com/Catalog/Rifles/Colt-Trooper-Patrol-Carbine https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/098289020604?upc_only=1 Respectfully, I believe Colt (or BCM, DD, Noveske, etc.) uses better components and has better in house QA than most other AR manufactures. They certainly retain...

    Is it difficult to build an AR Upper?

    The Magpul BEV looks excellent - cheaper, too. Thanks for the heads up.

    Is it difficult to build an AR Upper?

    Any opinions on the "reaction rod" instead of a receiver block? http://geissele.com/reaction-rod.html

    Barrel choices for AR

    I have to respectfully disagree with this. Just because the dot covers a 2MOA diameter circle on target doesn't mean that you can't produce a group less than 2MOA. For example, if your target is a black ring slightly larger than the 2MOA dot - by putting the dot in the center of the ring with...

    Are Gun Shows really worth attending?

    Amusingly, I just told my son to remind me to never waste my time going to a gun show again. Of course, I'm in Washington state, so there probably won't be a chance to be tempted in the future... Last Saturday, I drove to Yakima, paid the $7 entrance fee and wandered in... There, I was lied...

    New USGI $14 30rd. Mags

    I finally received two 20-round stainless mags from ASC (about 4 months after ordering). While they look nice on the outside, they DO NOT lock the bolt back on empty. I have a wide variety (Universal, Adventure Line, Magpul, Colt, AR-Stoner) of other mags that all work great. I've e-mailed...

    New USGI $14 30rd. Mags

    I ordered two 20-round stainless mags from these guys on January 24. The FedEx guy dropped them off today. Nice, uniform black finish, strong springs - they seem like decent mags.

    Glock suggestions

    Here's what I do: (1) Detail strip, inspect, clean (2) Replace anything broken (3) Replace recoil and trigger springs (I stick to Glock OEM for springs) (4) Replace plastic sights (I like Meprolights) (5) Install an extended magazine release (6) Install an extended slide stop release...

    Buy Your AR-15 Before Lawmakers Outlaw Them!!1!

    In contrast, Midway USA just sent me an e-mail telling me that 4 Pmags I had on backorder were now available. $13.25 each. Shipping today. Larry Potterfield - you have earned my business for the long haul. What a stand up operation.

    CMP ordering

    Generally a couple of weeks after you mail a rifle order, you'll get an e-mail from CMP saying that they received it and that it will take a while to process (this is referred to as the DBU - Don't Bug Us - e-mail). At that point, you're probably 60 days out from actually receiving you rifle.

    Posting firearm ownership information on internet forums - bad idea?

    Thanks for all the good discussion on this topic. I've learned a ton from forums like this and enjoy the interaction, but I am going to be more discrete. The NY confiscation story has hardly been "debunked." It happened, a mild uproar occured, and, this time, the state admitted their...

    Agulia .22LR SP CENTURION ammo

    It's pretty good, though it doesn't always cycle my Ruger Mark II. Fine in the 10/22 and bolt guns. The Target Golden Eagle is great in everything and very accurate. Personally, I stick with the Target Golden Eagle.

    Posting firearm ownership information on internet forums - bad idea?

    My search for information on this topic didn't yield anything, so here it goes. How wise is it for us to post information about the firearms we own on a public internet forum? Like I tell my kids, even with a silly username, there is ZERO expectation of privacy for anything you post on the...

    CZ or Savage

    I have both a CZ452 and a Savage Mark II. While both rifles are accurate (the CZ gets the nod by a smidgen), I feel that the CZ is superior in every other way - appearance, materials, fit and finish, and handling characteristics. Just my 2 cents.

    New to me Kahr E9

    Had it to the range today. 100 rounds of WWB 115 and Winchester 124g NATO. I believe this was the first time it's been fired. No failures. After a few mags, it was shooting to point of aim. What a nice pistol!

    New to me Kahr E9

    Thanks usp9. Today, I found a model number key in the newest Kahr manual. You are right about the slide - the last "0" in KE9090 corresponds to a black oxide carbon steel slide. I also called Kahr today - the CW/CM series front sights are correct for the E series as well. Best, -SlimeDog

    New to me Kahr E9

    Hi all, Last night, I purchased a Kahr E9 (KE9090) with 2 7-round magazines for $350. The original owner said that the pistol sat unfired in his safe since he purchased it new. It appears to be in perfect condition. The recoil spring is very strong - I had a difficult time holding the slide...
