My wife called me at work yesterday. She said that there was a van parked in front of our house, for the better part of an hour. There was a man, late 30's early 40's sitting in the van reading a newspaper and watching the neighborhood kids ride their bikes. This is unusual. We've never seen...

I recently installed an ArmsTech magazine extender on my 700PSS. Several times, I had a complete FTF with the round jamming in the gun, hard enough to push the bullet all the way into the cartridge, spilling the powder all over the place. If I pushed the rounds in the magazine firmly all...

Having just recently installed a fantastic Jewell trigger in my Remington 700P I noticed one issue. The bolt stop release "button" just forward of the trigger rubs on the trigger guard. The stop functions, but will not release after being depressed - you have to use something to gently pry it...

Some friends of ours the other day had an interesting experience. During the day, the woman, home alone with her child, heard a serious ruckus in the basement. She carefully went down to investigate and saw a young child running out the French door. Turns out the neighbors autistic child...

I have a Remington 700 PSS that I am considering doing/having some work done to. This is what I would like to do or have done: 1) Jewell Trigger Installation 2) "Tactical" bolt handle (not because it says tactical, it's just bigger!) 3) Steel trigger guard - maybe a detachable box...

I really like my Aimpoint CompML3 2MOA on my DSA FAL rifle. However, I'd like to improve my longer range (100 yards+) shooting with a little magnification. I was thinking the Aimpoint 3x magnifier would be a logical choice. I like the idea of the twist mount. However, how do I know if the...

I am considering a piston upper, preferably a Leitner-Wise SOC upper. This comes with a chrome lined, 16.1" threaded barrel with a 1/7" twist. The twist rate concerns me. Or should it? I typically shoot 62 grain green tip out of my RRA AR-15 with a 1/9" twist. I also sometimes shoot Georgia...

A fellow was killed in Maryland just outside DC last night. I am watching it on the news right now. He did "exactly what the police tell you to do and handed over his money." Problem is, they killed him anyway. Damn unfortunate. And proof positive of why we're armed. Just a thought ...

I took my new DSA SA-58 FAL out this weekend for the first time. What a nice rifle. I really enjoyed shooting it. Very accurate, recoil not bad at all, comfortable to shoot. I brought three magazines with me to the range. I had numerous FTF's with two of the magazines. The third magazine...

I have a new PTR-91, post ban with an "A2" style flash hider. I want to put a muzzle brake on it. Does the hider just screw off? It doesn't appear to be welded or soldered on - and there is a metal "clip" or "ring" of some sorts on the hider. It's definitely tight, however it's on there...

Have not had a chance to photograph it yet, but I snagged a NIB PTR-91 at the gun show this weekend. I am not sure what model it is, but it has the folding stock and comes with the aluminum tactical handguard. It has the standard mediocre flash surpressor that so many rifles come with these...

It took about 5 weeks, and now it's here. Problem is - I spent all my money on the new FAL and optics over the last two weeks ... I'm spent! :banghead:

My new FAL has the DSA "Extreme Duty" picatinny rail mounted to the receiver. It's obviously an aluminum part. I am using a standard ARMS quick release mount (steel) to attack my new Aimpoint ML3 2MOA to the gun. Is it "normal" for the mont to slightly ding the rail? Nothing major, but you...

Frustrated with crappy looking magazines for new AR and FAL rifles, I went hunting for some refinishing ideas. A lot of these magazines are cheap, especially the FAL mags - so I didn't want to spend a lot. Some folks suggested black grill paint, and for $3.50 a can I figured what the hell...

It occured to me that the primary reason that I think I want optics on my FAL is that I really don't care for the iron sights. Any suggestions on replacement iron sights for an FAL? Preferable one that would move the rear sight off the lower and onto the picatinny rail, a la AR15 flat top...

Private sale - a 3 year old never before shot (after stripping the gun I totally believe it ... good as if it just came from the factory). It's an SA58 Medium Countour rifle in 7.62 - obviously a "ban era" rifle as it features an integrally machines muzzel break which actually looks pretty...

Checked out the new Fredericksburg, VA gun show today. Pretty nice, lots of vendors - it was a pretty big show. Just after paying for our tickets and walking through the door onto the show floor - BANG - there it was. Some observations of the minutes following the incident: 1) There...

Anyone ever seen this done? I am getting an SKS sometime in the near future, and thought it would look good in all hard chrome. Obviously, this reduces the "tacticalness" of the rifle, but I already have an Evil Black Rifle filling that role. Any downside to this? I am not buying for...

I am taking a pistol shooting course (3 day) in April, and I need a handheld tac light for the "shooting in the dark" portion of the class. What do I need to look for? Are these things simply $100 flashlights that look cool? Are they worth it? Are they REALLY better than something like a...

I was looking at: http://www.tacticalshooting.com/forums/showthread.php?t=300 Anyone familiar with these classes? Any thoughts? I am looking for a good, not too expensive class, possibly several days in length. Basic "combat" or "tactical" pistol training. I want one not too far away...
