    PSA LPK in a Higher End AR15 Build?

    So long story short, the build is based on a Mega billet lower with a DD rail, an ESS barrel, and Geissele trigger. PSA had an LPK with the trigger I wanted on sale. Everything was put together and seemed to cycle fine. I went to swap my end plate and noticed my buffer retainer wasn't moving up...

    First AR build and I'm spending

    So, I've had a few ARs over the years but never built one from the bottom up, and am without one now. I decided to buy once and cry once. Many of you will think I'm insane, but I don't care. I bought the lower and plan on building it out myself. Since I don't have a vice handy, I'm letting the...

    What's Your Favorite LGS in Virginia?

    I'm new to Virginia - Crystal City. For my POS truck to pass the safety/emissions inspection, I have to put some miles on it to reset the monitors for all the sensors. If I've got to drive, I want a decent destination. I'd like recommendations of your favorite LGS that's somewhere in the...

    Live in MD - Can I set up a trust that resides in VA?

    Just a little outside the box thinking. If I were to move to MD, Can I get a UPS address (probably have to set up a business first to be the Settlor) in VA and keep / purchase firearms in VA as long as those items never enter MD? I figure most of my shooting would be done in VA anyway...

    Possible move to DC: MD vs VA?

    Sorry Mods. Never thought of Legal. Thank you. So an old boss emailed me about a position he's going to post this week. It's 3x the money I'm making. I can't ignore the opportunity. It's not even a guaranteed interview at this point, but I've got a shot. Thing is, living inside DC is a non...

    Shots fired on the jobsite

    So, I'm a Cable Tech, and was on a job tonight in a not great part of town. Thought I was done but then realized I wasn't. Luckily, I had all my tools in the truck when I heard the shots. Sounded like a nine - and from not far away. I heard 3 to 5 that seemed like a block or two away. Then they...

    Newbies, Broken Guns and RT*M

    So, recently a friend of a friend (whom I still haven't the pleasure of meeting) was having issues with her XD. Seems her man had no trouble racking the slide of the gun he told her to get, but she could only get it to go about 1/2" back. Her opinion was that something was wrong with the recoil...

    Paratus .308??

    I'm not being snarky here - actually asking the question. What is the purpose of a break down 308 (multiple pieces) that fits in a briefcase? Other than the movies... http://goo.gl/b73r2 I mean, I want one. I used to have a BLR takedown in .308. This seems cooler, but the BLR went together...

    Please tell us about your favorite gun shop

    I've been a member here for a bit and lurked waay longer than that before I joined. I routinely see posts that state, "My FFL can beat Bud's prices, etc." I know there are sites that list FFLs in your area. But we all know that's a crap shoot. According to current stats, we have "Members...

    1911s: RIA v/s JMB

    Normally, I'd spend a couple hours using the search function. But I just don't have the time. I've had my eyes on a 70 series colt repro for a while now. But recent events have put that idea on hold. I may have a chance to pick up a (nickle plated unfortunately)RIA, however. I read in a recent...

    What does, "Get an older Wingmaster," mean?

    I've decided it's what I want. But, how old is old enough? Any one got a range of years I should be looking for? And worse, how do I tell that it *is* old enough? Apparently, Remington wants you to call or email with the serial #; and it seems they're sometimes wrong (http://goo.gl/sg5v8)...

    Pump for Casual Clays???

    I’ve been going out w/ a few guys on a semi regular basis to shoot some casual clays. At first, the only gun I could hit anything with was a friend’s Citori. Since everyone wants to shoot it, and it’s the easiest manual of arms, first timers spend a lot of time with it. So, I’ve been spending...

    Colt 1911 Availability?

    Ok: So no, I don't have the cash right now. But I was just researching how much I need to save up. I can't find Colt 1911s in stock anywhere. Was just looking for current pricing. Specifically, I'm looking for a 1991 (O1991) or 70's series (O1970A1CS). Many sites have them back ordered with the...

    Am I Crazy?

    So, today I'm cleaning the pool and some friends come over. One makes a comment to another about me carrying (I had my LCP tucked into the waistband of my trunks - no shirt - in a pocket holster). He says, "No, we always have them on us," and shows her his that he had in his pocket. This...

    Pistol Grip Offhand - A Cautionary Tale

    So, last week I went out with some friends for some casual clay shooting / plinking. One of 'em brought a pistol grip 12 ga. A few of us shot it. I even tried it one handed like they do in the movies - and hit 2 out of 10! The trap shot wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and no worse than a...
