Is it just me or do we seem to be getting a lot of threads about NICS denials lately? On an unrelated note. The last time that I bought a gun, the dealer did not make the normal phone call. Instead he claimed to have run the information through a website. Does NICS now allow dealers to...

OK, what's your favorite cartridge for the AR-15 pattern other than .223 Remington or 5.56x45 NATO? Please include a reason.

For ARs you have to have an FFL to sell lower, but as far as I can tell, pretty much anyone can assemble and sell uppers as long as they are not making or selling the lower assembly. Is this because the AR upper group by itself is not considered a firearm, but the lower receiver is considered...

We never talk about the British service rifle (the SA80) around here. What opinions do people have of it? Is there a civilian equivalent?

I am in the process of outfitting an AR as a service rifle. Does anyone have a recommendation for a sling?

What size aperture does a Garand normally have?

I have two questions about the AR platform: -Why is the AR-15 (ie 5.56/223) so much more popular than the AR-10 (ie 7.62/308)? Is it ammo cost? -What kind of accuracy can be expected from the "National Match" service rifles? (The two models that I am most interested in are the Armalite and...

Does anyone know where I can find the service rifle equipment rules?

I received a Zeiss Conquest for Christmas. I intend to put it on my Remington 700 in .223. My question is what bases and rings should I buy? I may buy a service rifle upper in the near future and I would like to be able to use the scope for testing loads. If I buy an A4 upper (I would, of...

I found out about a local guy that builds AR uppers in his garage. I know that you don't need an FFL to transfer the upper, but beyond a normal sales tax license and registering the business with the state (assuming that he is actually incorporated), is any license required to build uppers...

Does anyone have experience with Accurate and Reliable Rifle? Website: http://www.accurateandreliablerifle.com/index.html I am looking at buying an upper from them.

Please post pictures of the pieces of your collection that were designed by the master himself John Moses Browning. Let's see how many of the following we can get: Wikipedia list: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Browning) * U.S. M1895 Colt-Browning machine gun * FN Browning...

I am trying to decide between the Rock River and Armalite National Match A2. I would like to practice service rifle and eventually shoot local matches. If anyone has experience with either of these models, please share. The Armalite webpage says that the first trigger stage is the 2.5 lbs...

Looking at ARs. I want an AR15A2. I have been looking most heavily at Rock River Arms and Fulton Armory. I did a search and it looks like most of the people around here look at Rock River as a good bang for the buck. Haven't found much on Fulton. I know that Armalite, Colt, and Shrubby...

Does anyone have any experience with any of the commercially available steel targets? Midway has several in their catalog. http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?tabid=4&categoryid=17793&categorystring=655***7234***&pageNum=1 We are looking for a Christmas present and I was a...

OK, so we've had several threads the past two weeks about the Model 700 trigger problems. I would like to replace the triggers on both of my Model 700s. (I have had this in the plans for several months but have never gotten around to it.) One is a stainless 308 the other is a matte blued 223...

Came across this article in the Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704518104575546253717892686.html The idea of hunting behind a fence doesn't seem very sporting. But I think that if the stock is purchased and raised by private individuals on private land...

Question, will M24s or M40s ever be available from CMP? This has probably been discussed on here before. I did try the search feature. Sorry if this is a repeat.

I was wondering if anyone knew of sources for a handstop and a leather sling for my Savage Mark II. I like the Turner National Match sling that I have on my Garand, but the sling will only attach at the front. I suppose that I could buy another National Match sling and not use the piece with...

So the laminated stock that I ordered from Sharp Shooter Supply (about 6 months ago) for my Savage Mark II finally came today. It appears to have been well worth the wait. They did a very nice job. I have a few questions on how to proceed: I think that the first step is to try to put the...
