    Getting back to shooting

    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

    Reasons for keeping "safe queens"?

    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...

    What motivates your gun-related expenditures?

    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...

    Gunbroker with A+ and only 1 sale

    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...

    What did you shoot today?

    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! 🤣

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

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

    Most inaccurate rifle I've shot in a long time, and it's a head-scratcher.

    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...

    The Colt 9mm Carbine - A Mini-Review

    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...

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    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...

    What is your favorite rifle?

    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...

    Current guns just don't interest me.

    Just a heads up, SIG currently produces a 553 in 223, 300BO & 7.62x39 and they are reminiscent of the original.

    Current guns just don't interest me.

    Being past the mid-point of my 60’s this could have been written by me … at least it mirrors a lot of my concerns with collecting and aging. I’ve already had both knees replaced and due to arthritis in my shoulders and other and health issues I’ve sold several favorite rifles that I never...

    Current guns just don't interest me.

    These are probably the most dangerous words ever spoken by a gun collector ! In the 45+ years that I’ve been shooting & collecting … time passes, interests change and guns I never thought I’d have any interest in suddenly there’s a curiosity, a deal rolls around and all of a sudden I own one or...

    Current guns just don't interest me.

    Since outgrowing my cowboy phase I’ve never really been interested in revolvers however a year or three ago I thought I should have at least one … so I bought a Smith Titanium 357 and hated it so I traded it to a buddy for a 8” Rino an no love there either and buddy bought it back. So then I...

    AR 15s in calibers other than 5.56 NATO

    I think it was released ahead of its time… and now I’m drawing a blank as to what it was called but like the 300 blackout the case is shortened and necked down so it shoots a 6.5 pill. Unlike the 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC II & 7.62x39 it does not require special mag or a different bolt. Like the 300...

    Which is more VERSATILE: An AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel, or an AR-10 in .308?

    If I was starting over from zero, I’d start with a 18-20” 223 AR15 for general shooting to 5-600 yards which is about the max distance I have available unless I want to travel a couple hundred miles. Then a 6.5 Creedmoor for tighter groups/accuracy or at longer ranges than the 223 and lastly...

    Isn't the forward assist on an AR a dumb idea?

    I think too that refinements over the years have made the fa less essential on civilian guns, I remember some of my early builds on Sendra receivers and mil-spec parts kits (because that’s all there were available in the early 80’s) and shooting surplus ammo, it was essential because otherwise...

    Springfield Hellion first shots

    Thanks for your review and pointing out how things may not be as awkward as some you-tubers claim. I doubt I’ll get one though because honestly (for me) nothing has measured up to the AUG which I’ve owned several in the last 30 years and I’ve owned the Tavor, X95, Bushmaster M17S, Valmet M82...

    Industrial AR15 hydraulic shock buffer

    While the AR is the lightest recoiling center fire long gun I have … what have you done lately? Personally I’d like to see something other than a muzzle device to control muzzle rise, so far the only thing I’ve found is adding weight or a suppressor. The SiG 55X rifle has almost zero muzzle...

    The New S&W “Response” 9mm carbine

    I’ve already got a Colt AR 9mm, CZ Scorpion, MP5, MP5K & MP5SD … and a couple others I haven’t shot in years. Besides the fact it’s just another AR, I can’t see that I need another AR or 9mm PCC.
