I love me some ARs! But dang... Also, in regards to the firearmblog.com review. If you make an AR and use hand-guards that melt off the gun after some basic rapid fire work, you didn't properly QC the rifle when you should have.

If you don't want to buy a larger torque wrench, most auto parts stores have tool loan programs and you can borrow one for free/a very low rate from a lot of stores (or at least I've had good luck with that).

He was a real class act, helped me out on several occasions. He will be sorely missed.

Maybe he really doesn't know... But why would you gamble on selling a gun for a few bucks, when it could be worth so much more? Although as for fraud... he is not deliberately marketing it as real so he is covering his bases there.

I'm weird, but id buy the Tavor (or X95) in this case. My main reasoning, everyone has an AR, and I like being just a little different. If money is an issue, buy a nice AR. But if the budget is not solely driving my decision, I like being a little unique. Well, that and id love to have the X95...

I have 2 Vortex PST scopes, a 1-4X24 and the 6-20X50 FFP. Amazing scopes and I would highly recommend the 6-20X50 (the PST or FFP option may or may not be worth the money to you). I'm sure there may be higher quality glass on some other brands or cheaper options for what you are actually...

For me you cant beat the Springfield 1903s. To me they are just a pure joy to shoot and own! The k98 is a close second. You just cant beat a good Mauser bolt action!

Perfect change to buy a peep sight and upgrade. Id expect to pay for a new sight regardless, so why not just spend a few more bucks and get a better one. I love the 10/22, but the factory sights leave a lot to be desired.

While I think its great they are making them again, its a mixed bag. You can still buy the old ones for cheap. Its hard to make an expensive pump and have it sell well when the market has so many cheaper alternatives. That said, I appreciate the finer things in life and if I wanted a new...

Ive put a few thousand rounds through multiple 590s, never had a problem. They just work. Ive also never had a standard 500 not work, so...

That is a very beautiful rifle! I always have had a soft spot for the 1903 actions.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I have a very well worn 82, and its glass smooth on opening and closing. Only thing you could try is a good cleaning and then re-oil the action and bolt, but it may just need some wearing in. I second the accuracy part though, these things are so accurate its...

To me my favorite 9mm handguns are the old steel frame 3rd gen S&Ws. Ya sure, they are heavy, but gosh darn they just work. Its easy to overlook them in the world of plastic 9s, but ya, sometimes the old steel just feels best.

Looks an awful lot like a Marlin Goose Gun...

They did try it with a smooth bore, nothing they could do to the gun or bullet caused the bullet to curve. They got keyholes, but the bullets traveled in a strait path for the entire range.
