I put this FR-8 scout rifle together a few years ago. I originally retained the original tri-frame that contained the front sight housing and the frame for the bayonet mount/cleaning kit. It was always an issue that the top of the circular front sight frame is right in the center of the sight...

My original thread on this was locked. Here is a link, if you want the whole back story of this <deleted by Moderator> show: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=771366 Now, finally some good news. To re-cap a little, in February, I was notified that S&W changed it's policy. While...

http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=43961.0 I wrote this review for the Appleseed Nwesletter earlier this month. Cool little rifle, though the barrel alignment issue was concerning. I found out that Ruger's reputation for top-notch customer service is no BS though. Well done...

Have you ever heard that its dangerous to buy a firearm with a proprietary design, because you are stuck relying on just one company for replacement parts? I'm here to tell you that is a very valid concern, particularly with Smith & Wesson products. I bought an M&P 10 last year, intending to...

I have a M&P 10 that was experiencing some malfunctions associated with an under-gassed condition... failure to lock back on empty, and bolt-over FTE malfs. This is a common condition on M&Ps... for some reason it appears S&W thought it would be a good idea to design them so they only run...

I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and last week I finally found a deal on one... it was just over $300 shipped BNIB. I already had the perfect Weaver 1-3x20 to put on it. All it needs now is a nice leather sling.

New acquisitions: the top one is an old pre-ban Olympic A2 HBAR. Actually it has more what I would call a medium profile barrel. It is marked "SS 5.56." The bottom one is an early 60s slick-side M-16 (Colt model 604) with all parts except for the auto sear, installed on a modern RRA...

I did Project Appleseed's review of the new Marlin 795 LTR, which is a special edition that is designed to be "Appleseed ready" right out of the box. Check it out here: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=38982.0 A pic of the rifle:

Well, I went full Bubba last night and ended up with a pretty sweet scout mount for my old POS 91/30. In case you don't know, the 91/30 has a factory 11mm dovetail machined into the barrel that the rear sight base mounts to. I removed the rear sight base and installed this picatinny rail from...

You may be a good shot at the range... but how well do you perform while hauling your guns and gear in the field in the summer heat? Get ready for the challenge of the Thunderbird Run 'n Gun! The Thunderbird Run 'n Gun is a center-fire biathlon, combining a 2 mile run with 5 shooting stations...

I mentioned this project on here before, and promised I would post pics when it was done. It got delayed a bit, but here she is. La Coruna 1954 FR-8 - $260. XS/Clifton Scout mount - $60. Acraglas to install mount - $25. Fajen F54 synthetic stock - $60. Total cost of rifle: $405. Eat your...

If you have preconceived opinions about James Yeager or his personality (as some of you undoubtedly do), please put them aside and just listen to the message. He makes some very good points, and cites some good statistics. Part 2 is where most of the good stuff is, but I included Part 1 so...

http://battleroadusa.com/ This will be a long trip for some of you, but I promise it will be worth it, no matter how far you have to travel! BattleRoad is going all out on this event, and you won't find anything else like it. The course will have 4 pistol stations and 3 rifle...

After about a month and a half waiting for the parts to be shipped, we finally got to put this together on Saturday night. We haven't shot it yet, but I have to say, after handling it, I am jealous! The rifle is all PSA. The upper is their "mid-length light profile premium madness" upper. It...

When they ratified the BOR in 1791 they might have argued over Charleville versus the Brown Bess, but what shoulder arm do you think is the best choice for Second Amendment purposes these days? If you don't know what the main purpose behind the Second Amendment is, or the primary political...

Check out my handiwork! Now she's all ready for the Pecos Run n' Gun next week.

I recently completed my AR build, using the stripped lower I bought from Palmetto State Armory several months ago during one of their periodic sales. I put her together last week, and got a chance to do a little shooting over the weekend. The upper is what PSA sells as their PSA 20" 5.56 1/7...

While planning the optics setup for my soon-to-be purchased AR, I was thinking how I like a red dot with magnifier setup, but don't like how when shooting with the magnifier, you have very little in your sight picture that would be helpful with ranging or compensating for bullet drop. Sure the...

OK here's the deal: I have an ACOG and really like the reticle design and how it helps me get quick hits on man-sized targets at unknown distance. Hoewever, it is set up to mount on an AR flat top, and isn't ideal for mounting on other rifles. I would like to get a standard tube-bodied scope...

Hello, I am looking for a .308 AR for Second Amendment purposes. I also have an M1A and am definitely going to keep it too, but I am thinking about getting something that is a little more optic-friendly and easier to fit with a collapsible stock and modular handguard. Anyway, I have some...
