None of the 20 round USA or Cabela's mags I've had have worked well. I was reluctant to try Triple K based on previous reputation for being POS, but tried a friend's. I now have some of my own that have so far been flawless. Cabela's has them in 10 thru 40 round for $18 - $33...

um...evil guns, that is...:evil: I need to choose between two possible purchases and would appreciate your input on what y'all think would be a better deal, as I value and highly regard many of the opinions in this community. I have wanted an AR for years and had long ago resigned the hope of...

Walt Sherrill Thank you for raising a very important consideration. There is an everpresent potential for children and adolescents other than our own (whether friends of our kids, those of family members, or even just neighbors) to be where they don't belong. My parents have neighbors...

My exposure to Ayoob is fairly recent, and in spite of many positive references to his writings about tactics, I have noted some opinions contrary to the opinion I had originally begun to form. Would you mind sharing your thoughts of like and dislike?

Y'all are renewing my desire and anxiety to build an AR. I'd put it out of my mind as monetary resources are not yet available, but now I'm getting excited about it again. HTSHT, let us know what you end up getting and how the build goes. Hope it goes well. :D

Alright, in the interest of more pressing matters - namely, sleep - I have ceased my search for "helpful" threads and will just ask: Are any of y'all familiar with Blue Wonder Gun Cleaner? According to Cabela's, "This concentrated Biodegradable Gel delivers penetrating deep-cleaning...

What's your opinion as to why prices will continue to increase? Shouldn't some go down (at least temporarily) with the AWB sunset?

ducktapehero , is that a 4-cell MagLight? I'm trying to figure the muzzle velocity on mine.:p Having kids running around, I no longer keep my glock or S&W on/in the nightstand, so it is now no nearer than 3 seconds away. Just in case, I've got a nice pinata bat next to the bed.

Well, I made it back to BiMart only to find that the stainless/synthetic ranch has indeed increased in price. I had to call around to several stores but eventually found it. The price? $540. Oh well, I guess I start looking for a used one.

I happened across a stainless Ranch with black synthetic stock last year at BiMart for 475! Did I buy it? Let's just say I kick myself on a daily basis. In my defense, I ran out of organs to sell and couldn't otherwise afford it.

Dbl0Kevin , A couple of the places you can find the polymer-coated Wolf ammo in bulk are CheaperThanDirt.com Cabelas.com www.outdoormarksman.com (7.62x39, but not .223)

I've not seen other semi-auto rifle barrels get so hot that they turn red or from which I've seen smoke rising from the top of the barrel.

One of the things that has made me reluctant to buy a mini-14 is how much the barrel heats up with shooting. Has anybody had any experience with a barrel shroud? Does it make much difference? Cabella's has one and says "Barrel Shroud improves barrel cooling on your Mini-14 during a long...

PAC 762, I don't actually disagree with your points. I guess I was speaking more to my own experience of wanting to start out with a multi-purpose tool that would save a little on initial cost, versus purchasing all firearms on my list, for all purposes, at once.

While I do like a "combat" shotgun, such as a Remington 870 Express Magnum or Mossberg 500 Cruiser, for in the home and camper, we are addressing "close-quarters" defense, which may not always be defined by the confines of one's abode. (Without going into 1.5 million scenarios) there is always...

I made my own sandbags with sand from my kids' sandbox. Problem was, the neighborhood cats seem to frequent the area, and on a hot day those sandbags didn't last long. I have since moved on to flax seed in a flannel bag. Ah yes, the Python bandwagon. "She turned me into a newt!!...Well...

Sorry to put y'all out. I wasn't aware of Wolf's change with lacquer and didn't see it in the thread. Still learning (as the more I learn, I discover the less I know) and trying to make an educated decision about whether to use it in .223's, from people who know more and have more experience...

I find it interesting that Oly didn't address steel casings as an issue. It seems to me to be a significant consideration; perhaps less so than "lacquer", but still significant.

The position held by Olympic Arms as stated on their website (As far as I am concerned, not gospel; but information, nonetheless. Still seeking info from other makers. Always glad to help muddy the waters): Lacquer Coated Ammo If you plan on using lacquer-coated ammo in your Olympic...

If Wolf is what you're looking for, CheaperThanDirt.com has Wolf FMJ for $85.00/1,000 round case; which is a little more than Golden Tiger, but shipping for that amount is $12.99 plus a $3.00 flat handling fee on all ammo orders. I'm not familiar with Golden Tiger, so can't be much help in...
