I remember too when the same discussion was had on many forums regarding red dots on ARs and many of the same arguments were made and yet, here we are.

I was, for a long time, resistant to the concept of a red dot on a handgun. I had the same attitude that many here have. I didn't care for them and told myself the lie that I was faster with irons. For distances where I'm realistically just point shooting, I'm equally as fast with or without a...

Honestly? I'd call it a day, in terms of load development. Maybe tweak bullet seating depth /crimp a bit just to see what it gets you. I was always anal about loading for an autoloader. The possibility of bullet setback during chamber was always on my mind. I ultimately started crimping with a...

The description indicates their being available as a pre-order. I'm gonna wait until they're actually available.

I thought we were talking about a Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39. What I said above wasn't for a Mini.

For a mini 30, my guess would be that it's more work than it's worth. On the Ranch rifle, however, it was a no brainer.

When I shooting a lot of .308, I fell into using Varget and Reloader 15. As a result, I sort of just defaulted to using one of the two when I could and always got good results, or more specifically, I was able to work a load that gave good results. When I was going for tiny groups, I tried to...

I voted addiction, although I blame it on my eyes. It amazes me, the number of things I needed and bought and didn't even know I needed them until I saw them.

I suppose it would depend on the firearm, but I definitely don't clean after every range session. I shoot mostly AR type fire arms and Glocks. I inspect each for parts wear every couple/few thousand rounds and the inspection requires removing the heavy stuff, so that's pretty much as far as the...

I run lights past the muzzle and it hasn't been a problem. Just remember to wipe the lens when doing maintenance. I think weapon lights are a good idea. As for all of the arguments against weapon lights, there's nothing that says you can't have a weapon light for when the situation calls for...

The last Glock I bought was an MOS 19. In hind sight, I wish I would have gotten the non MOS version and had the slide milled for an RMR footprint. The MOS is about $100 more. The plates the MOS comes with aren't very good. Mine weren't even flat. The aftermarket steel plate that I got was...

I never did chamfer for any straight wall pistol cartridge. A slight flare to help get the bullet started and prevent shaving. I also taper crimp for semi autos. I like to crimp enough to prevent the bullet from getting pushed in when a mishap occurs.

Uzis are cool, but some had their problems and in the end, it's still just a 9mm. There are other PCCs out there I'd rather plink with. I'd go with the lever gun.

I should also have mentioned that Mean Arms is getting ready to release the ExoMag. It is a complete magazine in a variety of capacities. Price is around $25.

I would first say, get training. I don't care if you've been shooting since you could walk, get training. The more training you have, the less likely it will be that you could be made to look as though you acted negligently. Secondly, know your local laws. For example, is there a stand your...

Is this for a Ruger Ranch? If so, the same rules do not apply necessarily. Still, you can never go wrong with Ruger mags for a Ruger. On the other hand, just do away with the problem all together. Call Ruger with your serial number and tell them that you want to order the magwell for the 5.56...

I bought 3 when they first came out. None shot point of aim in terms of windage with any ammo. I don't think I really love any firearm, but there are those that I like and choose to keep and the single six falls into this category. All I can say about the wranglers is that I don't hate them...

Wow, this blows my mind and brings back some memories. The very first rifle I ever bought myself was an SKS that looked like the one on the top. It was back in the late 80's or so. $199 plus tax on a package deal for the rifle and a 1440 round case of Norinco (I believe it was) ammo in the...

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd post here since what I have to share jives with the topic. I was running a blowback 9mm Ar for a while. I used a springco blue spring, a ballistic advantage bolt and a vltor A5SH4 buffer. My total reciprocating mass was something around 23 Oz. I...

Well, it's gotten to a point where 7.62x39 is no longer an inexpensive option for shooting and hunting; so, I ordered a 9" 300 BO barrel to replace the 10" 7.62x39 barrel in one of my ARs.
