I think your reservations on both the Arsenal and Piston AR are founded on internet hear-say and nothing factual. I have an Adams Arms AR15, and my buddy has has an AK-74 with about the same round count. Neither has had any problems. My AR has no signs of carrier tilt. The piston BCG uses the...

I told my brother the S&W was his, but he is just out of college and starting a job as a police officer in another city. It is staying with me in my safe until he has a permanent residence with a safe. And he already knows I will give him more than any offer he gets for it, if he needs to...

Thanks. I told my dad they were clean, and he refused to come get them. He told me to pick my favorite and give the other to my younger brother. Easy choice for me. As for how the colt will shoot, the bore is bright and the rifling is still very sharp at the muzzle, so I expect it to...

My grandfather, who had quite a few firearms, recently passed. My father acquired two handguns that he knew had some history to them. He knew that one had come from my great great grandad, and the other was a S&W. My grandfather carried one in his walker daily, and the other has sat in a...

you would need to hit the crank itself or put a hole in at least 60% of the compression chambers to "stop" the engine. your best bet would be a well placed shot at the timing gear,belt,chain or tensioner. tough to do, but it would kill the engine instantly. and most are behind plastic or light...

i like my Pelican 1700 case. you will need the longer version for the nagant It isnt too expensive ($170 IIRC) and is a tank. Has wheels on it and feels pretty bomb proof. it comes with three layers of foam, and you do not HAVE to cut the middle layer to fit if you use it for more than one...

My old one, no, total dicks. They were the typical "if you arent here to pay 50% more than anywhere else, we dont want your business" and "your 'internet knowledge' is not welcome here" type of place. Every DPMS/Bushy/Armalite AR was $1700 and they wouldn't stop eating their lunch or talking...

The guy obviously was mentally instable. You never know what he might have tried to do. Better safe than sorry if you ask me.

This is true. When I lived in college apartments, people were always getting robbed because they never locked their 2nd story balcony's sliding doors. A friend of mine got a laptop stolen this way.

Very cool. Nice work

not to me, but the guy next to me buying Blazer Al .45 for his 1911. "1911's are REAL finicky. They don't like to feed sometimes, you might better stick with the brass cased ammunition. We have some for $x.xx more over here." I think my eyes hit the back of my skull they rolled so hard.

a hole in the right spot is lethal, no matter what size. thats not what the thread is about.

The bullet can hit the spine or another rigid object and start tumbling, expending most of its energy internally. That does not guarantee that the bullet will do this reliably. That is the reason JHP's were created.

I was out with a buddy who I regularly take to the range with me. He brought another friend and the friends spouse. We had been shooting rifles for a while, and getting the wife comfortable with shooting and controlling recoil. We went down to the pistol range to shoot some steel plates. The...
