I'm aware of the ATF's ruling on placing the Sig brace and other similar brace-type attachments in your shoulder like a stock, but is it still legal to use just the buffer tube the same way?

A few months ago I bought a DD M4A1. Love the rifle except the RIS-II handguard, which is a little heavy. I was looking at replacing it with a KMR but I want to be able to refinish it to match the rest of the rifle. There's a lot of shades of brown on the Cerakote website. Does anyone know...

Assuming the buffer tube length is the same, are buffers from 5.56mm and .308 caliber AR-style rifles interchangeable?

A legal question for those of us using a carbine or shotgun as a defensive weapon... Let's assume that said weapon were LAWFULLY used against an attacker in a home invasion or defensive scenario. Would the shooter face more legal challenges if the weapon were custom built as opposed to factory...

Interesting problem with the Saiga 5.45... the bolt sticks toward the rear of the receiver sometimes. I had seen it happen a couple times after I put the trigger in but the last couple times I took it to the range it locks up every third or fourth round. And before you ask... yes, it has been...

I use an AR15 as my primary home defense weapon. I put plenty of rounds through it, but due to restrictions most ranges have, it's usually more like plinking than actual defensive training. I'm looking for some simple, commonly effective tactics that I can do at a typical range... defensive...

Since this isn't necessarily limited to any specific class of weapon other than long guns, I hope this is the correct forum. Doing some independent research here... I want to make it clear that this is a personal inquiry and not on behalf of my organization. So here's what I'm looking for: If...

Does anyone else ever get hit in the face with spent shells from their Glock? It only happens about once every couple hundred rounds or so but when it does it's painful. A friend got a nasty mark on his forehead yesterday at the range. I've owned the G23 for about 2 years now and it's only...

Lately I've been considering a lever action 30-30 for a multi-purpose rifle, but I have never fired one. If you run one of these, which do you have and why? What model do you recommend? Pros and cons or anything else I should know? I know the 30-30 Win is ballistically very similar to the...

Given the popularity of the M1 Garand, why are there no new production versions of it? I know Losok makes a mag-fed sniper/DMR variant, but why does no one make a "classic" version?

It's like a poor man's SCAR... Technically this doesn't count as a complete build because I used an existing lower and LPK, but the upper and stock are new. The idea was to build a defensive carbine that had everything I needed but nothing I didn't. I wanted it to be as compact as could be...

My primary HD weapon is a handgun, but push comes to shove, I keep a long gun loaded too. Currently my secondary HD gun is a shotgun, but that will change as soon as I get my new AR sighted in properly. As with most long guns, overpenetration is a concern. Obviously FMJ and LAP are out of...

I am a Florida state resident. Assuming the weapon is legal in their respective state, is it legal to sell guns to a person who is a resident of another state but lives in Florida under military PCS orders?

I'm currently working on a lightweight (more or less) AR15 build. My goal is to make it light enough for quick target acquisition but with the least recoil possible to enable faster follow up shots. What muzzle brake offers the best recoil reduction and can be pinned or welded on a 14.5" barrel?

Will the 10rd mags for a Savage 10BA or FCP-SR fit in a standard Model 10 mag well?

Looking at a new AR upper as soon as parts become readily available again. Who runs a 14.5" lightweight barrel on an AR15? Does it cause any problems as opposed to an M4, HBAR, or Govt profile barrel? Please share your thoughts.

I just bought a new Savage Model 10 in .308. This is my first Savage, so I need help with a few things. First, what model exactly is this? It looks like a 10 PC but it the barrel isn't threaded and it has the extended bolt knob. It doesn't exactly match any of the models listed on Savage's...

Suppose I wanted a precision rifle that could put rounds on paper at 1000 yards using factory match loads. Initially I was looking at a .308, but a 1k shot might be easier with something else. I'm looking for something relatively easy to find (i.e., not .338 LM) and available in common bolt...

Does anyone make a drop-in upgrade trigger/trigger guard assembly for a Chinese SKS?

I have a couple legal questions about ammunition matters. Recently I placed an order for a large amount of .40 ammo from Brownells, and was told that ammo sales are restricted in my area (Florida.) I'm confused... I've ordered ammo by the case online for all my black guns before. Is only...
