I'm considering expanding on my long range shooting ability, as well as possibly participating in long range shooting competitions in the future. I've got pre-conceived ideas in what I'm looking for in a precision rifle. However, I'm not entirely sure where to start. Quality of the weapon is...

With Christmas coming up next month, holiday bonus time at work is also just around the corner. I've been pretty set on getting a new gun, and since I bought a 1911 with my June bonus, I decided to go with a rifle this time. I owned an AR a few years ago, but when I got laid off at the last...

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I tried searching it and haven't found anything that helps me. The question I have is whether or not Springfield Armory factory 1911 magazines are really as bad as a lot of people make them out to be? I understand they don't have an anti-tilt...

I bought a Springfield armory loaded 1911 yesterday, and when I got the gun home and took a closer look at it, the front sight appears to be bent and leans roughly 4°-5° to the left when lining up the sight picture. I also noticed the gun was very dirty out of the box, with a lot of carbon...

So tax return time is here, and I figured I need a 1911. I've been looking around and CDNN has a list of Springfields on their online catalog on sale. All of the prices are on request so I'm going to call tomorrow and find out what they want for them. Right now I really want a SA MilSpec...

I've been seeing a lot of posts about Glocks lately, more noticably the new Gen4 Glocks. Also when perusing gunbroker.com, I see a lot of comments on Glocks about how the "finger grooves are annoying" or this, that, and the other thing. I was just wondering which generation all of you...

Hey everyone, I received a mystery package from a buddy of mine today, and inside was a used, unmarked, 32-round Beretta 92 magazine. The magazine fits in the gun just fine and seems to feed rounds OK when hand cycling the action. The thing is the spring is really old and worn. When I take...

Alright, well, I finally took my DPMS AP4 out to shoot it. I only had 100 rounds of Ultramax .223 re-manufactured rounds, but a friend of mine brought 80 rounds of PMC Bronze. The Ultramax ammo performed flawlessly through all 100 rounds- no malfunctions, accurate, etc. However, out of the 80...

I finally finished my AR-15 build. This rifle is 100% DPMS with the exception of the red dot sight, pistol grip, and trigger guard. The lower was a standard DPMS stripped lower, with a DPMS LPK and DPMS M4 style 6-pos. stock. The upper is a DPMS 5.56 AP4 direct impingement A3 flat-top upper...

First off, this thread is just because of a weird thought that occurred to me recently. I did some searching to make sure I wasn't duplicating a post first, but has anyone other than me ever wished that Beretta would make a 92 series pistol in .45ACP? I just think that would be the coolest...

Hey everyone, First off I'd like to thank those who told me where to buy spare Beretta parts. I've got some parts, and will be ordering the other ones shortly. The parts I've got so far and installed are the Elite II skeletonized hammer, and a 92D hammer spring. The question I have...

Hey Everybody, I'm looking to upgrade my Beretta 92FS, nothing special or fancy, just a new trigger, hammer, and mag release. I want a blued steel trigger to replace the polymer one, a blued metal mag release (extended or not), and the Elite II lightweight hammer. The thing is, Berettausa.com...

I was doing some searching for S&G's, and ran across these firearms from American Tactical Imports. Does anyone have any hands on experience with these firearms? To me, they look like kind of like the Jericho 941. The places where I have found them have prices of just under $400. Here's...

Does anyone have any hands-on experience with the Para-Ordnance GI Expert 1911? I really want a semi-custom 1911 and think this would be a good place to start. I had a Taurus 1911 and just wasn't impressed at all. If I got the Para, it'd be the stainless model, as I've heard horror stories of...

I've got an AR-15 build going on right now and have an upper picked out I want for 500 bucks. A buddy of mine's brother is selling his AR for 500 and it's a century international arms. I'm wondering what the better deal would be. I don't know what type of AR he's got, but the upper I want is...

Mods, if this is in the wrong category, feel free to move it. I need a gun safe. My current firearms are 2 28" Remington 870 12 Gauges, 3 full size handguns, a 20" Winchester 94, 16" M4gery, and a single shot NEF 20 Gauge. I want something more sturdy than one of those thin steel cabinets...

I've got a DPMS AR-15 complete lower. The pivot pin on the receiver goes in and out just fine and the detent locks secure. The Rear take-down pin, though, will go out just fine, but once it's locked in the most outward position, I can get the pin to go back into the receiver. I'd hate to have...

I'm looking for a decent range/ throw-around AK-style rifle for range use. I'm only looking to spend around 500. I'd like the rifle to be able to accept hi-cap mags. The three I've narrowed it down to are the EAA/ Zastava PAP rifle...

I know my local gun guy can get me a saiga in .223 or 7.62X39 for about 320 bucks, and the 12 gauge or .308 for about 400-450 dollars. I know a Tapco T6 AK style stock set for the saiga is roughly 60 bucks. I keep seeing "converted" saigas for sale anywhere from 600-1100 dollars, and am...

I hate to beat this dead horse again as I know everyone and their grandma has asked at least one question regarding an AR build. I started an AR build back in September, and got the lower completely built. The lower is a DPMS, and I would have liked to get a DPMS upper, and might if it's a...
