    Mystery Federal Arms magazine?

    Just wondering if anyone can ID this magazine... Follower and feed lips make it seem like it takes a center fire rifle cartridge (308 Win). Only markings are... FEDERAL ARMS, INC. ST. PAUL, MN. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

    Possible to co-witness Troy BUIS with ACOG?

    You can't really co-witness iron sights with a magnifying optic. Only works with a non-magnifying optic like an Eotech or Aimpoint. Hope that helps.

    M16 misinformation, all over the net..

    I see Bartholomew Roberts beat me to it, but here is what I had to say with some links. Wiki is actually correct in regards to the A4 being the first with the Picatinny/1913 rail. Commercial manufactures use the A3 designation to describe the upper with the Picatinny/1913 rail...

    CZ75 - Can it be beat for the $$?

    CZ75 - Can it be beat for the $$?

    The standard CZ 75B DA/SA version is a default SA, unless you manually decock the hammer (it has no decocker, except for the above mentioned versions). It is like a 1911, but with an optional DA mode. When you load the weapon the hammer stays back and you can either thumb decock the hammer or...

    Any thoughts on why the FAL rifle...

    rbernie, >Had you bought that FAL, would you not now have a select-fire weapon worth upwards of $30K? Not unless you had it converted after purchasing. Importing machine guns for civilian sales was illegal then. The FAL in particular had problems with that as some of the rifles that were...

    Target... Anti gun?

    I worked for Target while living in Arizona, and management had no problem with people open carrying in the store. Corporate cared about numbers and keeping the customer happy. I still feel that their motto "Expect More, Pay Less" was directed towards the workers (I mean "team members") more...

    The U.S. Coast Guard is transitioning to the Sig P229R in 40 S&W for its service pistol (replacing the Beretta). They are used by boarding teams all the time and are not there for show.

    Functionality of vertical grip on AR...

    This from a PSD in Iraq (I don't know him. I pulled this from another board. There is a link below): "I used to think vertical grips were gimmicks, but it's amazing how natural it feels when using them, try a boxers stance and feel how comfortable it is, then rotate your non trigger hand...

    Please clear up this AR F-marked thing for me

    The feed ramps on the Stag are the normal style. Not sure there is much advantage to having M4 ramps on a semi-auto. Anyone with more info on this?
