Hi All, anyone know of a high quality - Pelican style, waterproof and not flexy - rifle case that has internal dimensions of 40 x 10 inches and maybe thinner than the typical 5 or 6 inches? Basically, I want a small, light, tough, knock-around (TSA) case for a single small/short rifle. Most...

I have a Hawke 4-16x44 SF on my AA TX200 mk3 using Sportsmatch rings, so far so good at ~16fpe. The 54's hammer scopes, mine did and it killed 2 in a row many years ago.. you might want to ask the techie types at Pyramyd/Airgundepot about what scopes are known to live long on 54's, or maybe...

I had an older 54 that I regret selling, it would hit acorns all day long, but it would wear me out after awhile - even 20+ years ago - and it thumped pretty hard.. the 54 has a long learning curve and also killed a couple of less-than-excellent scopes. . The 12fpe spring will do wonders for...

Well... the Holosun showed up last week and its a pretty good fit for a AR pistol. I also figured out how to get much better results from the Strike Eagle. It must be focused at full magnification, not at 1x. Probably common knowledge, but what do I know.. Thanks again all.

Thanks for the replies and good info. Most of my firearms are utilitarian, no benchrest shooting.. they're for food, fight or fun (in no particular order). I'll leave the 16" 308 as-is with the 1-6x Strike Eagle knowing it leaves plenty on the table compared to the 308's capability. Its a...

Hi all, I have a few AR's and need one more optic, but I'm not sure about what to add. I currently have: Rock River LAR-8 Predator 16" w/ Vortex 1-6x Strike Eagle. Rock River AR-15 mid-length 16" w/ Vortex Sparc II AR And I just finished building a mixed/multi AR 5.56 10.5" pistol that needs an...

I kinda lucked out a couple Saturday's ago right when the panic buying really started picking up fast. On a whim I swung through my local farm-n-home type store and picked up 50 little 20rd boxes of Federal XM193 for $287. They still had a bunch of bulk boxes and ammo cans, but going with the...

I've been wrestling around with the same.. a backpack'able AR.. but the more I look at it the less I like the AR platform and 556 for that purpose. My 10.5" is a great "truck gun" kept whole, or even with its pins pulled.. but carbine length gas is as short as I'll go. The muzzle blast from a...

FISwampRat, there is really only one safe answer for you. A used AR "pistol" is only as valuable as its parts, and the receiver is worthless. If its a cheap'ish AR "pistol" simply strip it down to: Complete upper barrel assembly - sell it whole w/ bolt carrier group and charging handle. Strip...

Hi all, thanks for all the replies. I guess I should have mentioned that my daughter is only 8... so I'm not sure she'll be too keen on a 5.56/223 yet, and I don't want to chase her off with it. I thought about going with a 17HMR.. but it has a very limited usefulness and its within $50 of a...

I have a few AR-10 and 15's, 10/22's, pistols a'plenty, and a Mossberg... but I don't have a single bolt rifle. I'd like a small bore bolt rifle and scope for slower paced precision and to teach my daughter to shoot. I'm looking for good accuracy at 100 yards, minimal recoil, from relatively...

Steve, I almost went with the SGA/MOE 51773 model that has a lot of the functional features I wanted, but it was a truckload more money... and while I wanted the features I didn't want the "look" and opted instead for the most basic/simplistic option that is still a 590a1, which is also the...

I'm trying to figure out how I want to mount a 2-point adjustable sling to my 590a1 using QD's. I'd like to use the same slings I have for my other rifles that have QD's on both ends. I'll probably use Magpul's mag tube and barrel clamp thing up front, but the rear has me puzzled. I'm...

^Yea, a pretty good one. I guess you could say it was pretty gradual for me, with a noticable change when CCW came around here in MO.

Yes they do. I believe everyone has the right to do those things, I simply said I don’t like to see it. It could also be broken down by actions that do or do not represent behavior, manners, decency, or public image. Yep, I misspelled "nauseated", and intentionally dropped a "g" here...
