I used heavy grease on my recoil spring as well … until I was competing in a Service Rifle match in the winter when it was below freezing and the grease got so thick my rifle would barely function. Between relays I pulled the spring and leaned out the receiver extension so I could finish the match.

When rifles such as the M1, M14, M16 were developed, they could have easily had lighter triggers in them, however they were designed for battle, when adrenaline is coursing through our muscles and brains and the 7pound service rifle trigger doesn’t feel like anything at all when we’re fighting...

Sadly, I haven’t found anything since last October that has created the itch that needed scratching … fortunately I’m well stocked on reloading components and 22LR so there hasn’t been anything I’ve needed.

Embarrassed? Nope, my wife has listened to me talk about sites like this and GunBroker forums, as well as others that have faded into history for at least 26 years, maybe a bit longer.

I think supply & demand controls it just fine, it’s not like they’re making any more for us civilians.

Nothing to brag about here, my biggest rifle caliber is 8mm Mauser, largest pistol caliber I currently own is the venerable 45acp :cool:

I was googling for a 20” A2 kit and several companies showed a correct A2 but when you look at the site it has 20” flat-tops … one company offered a complete A2 upper receiver for $124, and the flat top kit was $399 … and you can usually pick up a receiver for ~$50. If you pick it up at a gun...

I can understand your wife’s request. I’m only 66 but have had a couple hospital ER “visits” that the surgeon has told her that she should notify the family and if I survive the night it will be a miracle. Needless to say, the lord didn’t call me home … and besides, I still have stuff to do...

For 30 years my wife has listened to me talk about guns, gone to shows with me and never put a limit on what I buy or how many I have … but things are changing. Many times I’ve said that I have all I want, but in the past something else has popped up, but now it’s been close to a year and I...

On the Facebook AK pages all the US made and Zastava’s get a lot of hate. I don’t have any US made AK’s but I’ve got a couple Zastava’s that I’ve never had a problem with.

That’s my favorite brass catcher too! I have several guns with picitinny rails I use it on, I especially like it on my HK MP5 clone to catch my 9mm brass

I was born in 1957 and the only true Safe Queen I have is a fully engraved 1957 Colt National Match 1911 that my wife bought for my 57th birthday … I did shoot it once, only to prove to myself it is everything it’s supposed to be, and it is. I took several pictures and this was the best I could...

Need & Utility have never inspired me to buy anything nor has techie accessories, my opinion is to keep it simple, there’s fewer things to break … I guess that’s why I really like my 62 VW & 77 Triumph Spitfire. I do like my 2004 Chevy truck, and it’s as basic as they came at the time. When it...

GB has been around almost as long as eBay, I’ve bought and sold on GB almost since their inception. I’ve bought hundreds of guns & accessories and haven’t been scammed yet. I will say there have been a couple times I could have been happier with a firearm because I didn’t notice something in a...

Looks like you need to dump that STI for something more challenging and give you something to look forward to! I’ve got a GSG 1911-22 I’d trade you straight across that if you would happen to shoot a group like that would make you very happy! 🤣

All I can say is it was lunch time and I fat-fingered it … look again!

My first question would be “At what range did your dad shoot it at?” 100yards isn’t a stretch for a gun like that or a Marine Sniper. I know my SiG SSG3000 wit my Benchmark 6.5 Creedmoor barrel doesn’t have the same zero at 100 as it does at 300. In fact when zeroed at 300 or 500, I get a...

Not long after buying my Colt M16, about 15 years ago I started looking for a 9mm Colt upper and found a complete Canadian demilled kit less receiver of course. It came with the complete upper, bolt, spring/buffer 3-round burst trigger as well as furniture and a couple steel Colt mags … I opted...

I’ve had PCC’s & SBR’s for a couple decades … if you can enhance the trigger with a F/A receiver, DIAS or even a binary trigger it’ll enhance the experience exponentially … if you’re into that sort of thing. When I got my first MP5, SBR’d it I was so excited, until I shot it. I mean it wasn’t a...

The AR has risen in popularity exponentially in the 15 or so years, and King isn’t an overstatement. I (blame?) it mostly on video games that players have come to age. A lot of the know-it-all’s know nothing of the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban, much less the import ban of 1989 … most everything...
