So since I was a kid, I've been a big Sci-Fi nerd, with Star Wars being my biggest source of geekdom. (We had the Star wars edition of Trivial Pursuit, and they had to make special rules just for me so I wouldn't win in the first round). Now that I'm older, wiser, and have a bigger...

Wasn't sure if I should post this here or in NFA, it applies sorta to both. I'm building a 9mm AR pistol consisting of a steel lower and a steel Uzi magwell. I'd like to get a set of Uzi grips to cover the magwell, but concerned that, on a pistol, it would be interpreted as a VFG, which ATF...

Does a 9mm AR upper require M4 feed ramps? I'm thinking probably not, but want to make sure before I go and buy a receiver I may need to mod.

So as I was mounting the barrel to an upper this weekend, I got to thinking why there are no instructions for staking a barrel nut. It seems like it should be done, but nope. I've had some barrel nuts that needed a shim to fall into the 30-80 foot pounds of torque range. Being out of...

I'm not much of a US milsurp buff, but I've always liked the history of US WWII firearms. And I sorta like the M1 Carbine, looks wise. Well, there is a Quality HMC carbine at the LGS for $700. I don't know the serial #, or if it's matching, or everything is original. Last time I was in...

What length gas system is recommended to a .300 blackout build? I'm thinking of a 10.5" with a carbine gas hole, but saw a 16" kit at a decent price, but noticed it was running a pistol length gas system. Is this normal for .300 BO? I can only imagine it would be to help cycle subsonic...

Is this a product anyone would choose to carry? http://idealconceal.com/ Should fall under the same legalities of the pen guns you need to fold down to shoot, I would think. No mention of it being an AOW. Personally, this is not a product I would spend money on, because I'm not their...

I've kinda got an itch for an AK, and missed the Saiga for $599 at the LGS by a couple days. Currently they've got a MAK 90 loaded up with a bunch of crappy after market junk that would need to be replaced, and would likely cost an additional $150-$200. The price tag on it is $799, and they...

I'm looking to either build or buy a suppressor in 2016, probably post 41F, but my CLEO signs off, so that's not a hurdle. Anyway, I want something that will work equally well, or at least well enough, for use with 5.56x45, 9x19, and I'm thinking about getting a .300 blackout. Does tube...

7/1/2016, for an individual Form 1, all one needs to do is get fingerprints (non digital), passport size photos and a $200 check gathered together and sent to the ATF? How does the CLEO notification then work? Did Obama's EA request include additional staff for NFA branch to process...

I'm not much of an AK guy, but I have a bunch of 7.62x39 and no rifle with which to shoot it. Got a couple bonuses coming up and saw PSA has Hungarian AMD-63 rifles for sale, both around $500. Sadly I missed out on the era of $300 or less AK variants. This one looks to be about the least...

Has anyone tried the gun skin DIY kits? Looking at this and want to know if it's durable. Kind of on the expensive side, but probably cheaper than having it professionally hydro-dipped.

My father in law just gave us a Traditions Sporter mag 209 muzzle loader, but it's missing the firing group and tail cap. Any one know of a source for parts?

So for 2016, I have a few items on my To-Do list. So first of all, I'm going to Form 1 my 5.56 AR pistol for a decent SBR. Some of my bigger projects: I'm going to start a few builds that will stretch out through 2016. I have a complete poly lower and a stripped steel flat welded...

I watch a lot of YouTube gun videos during my downtime, and often see people number their mags, both rifle and pistol. I've never done this, but I've been acquiring a lot of magazines lately, and figured it can't hurt. While I've never had a problem magazine, failures are bound to happen...

I'm hoping to set foot into NFA territory next in 2016, starting off with an SBR and eventually suppressing that. I'm going to Form 1 my AR pistol built up from Aero Precision receivers. Anyway, I know the benefit to an NFA Trust is ease of transfer for others on the trust. But for...

Scored a couple hundred rounds of FN headstamped 5.56 from 1978. I'm sure it's safe to shoot, just wondering if there is any collector value. They are all still in the factory boxes with the military labels. If no collector value, I'll load them up and send them down range. Brass...

Included in a trade I'm doing are three Magpul Maglinks. Personally I've never used them, couldn't care less about them and will probably sell/ trade out of them in the future. But I'm not opposed to giving them a chance. I'd like to hear first hand accounts from the community as to their...

Thought experiment here. Reading the 9mm vs body armor thread got me thinking... Armor piercing rounds are illegal federally and in my state with a few exceptions. But to be defined as AP, there are certain factors that must be met. Anything that does not meet the standard simply...

Being a fan of reciprocating barrel shotguns, I saw one of the more uncommon ones on the used rack of the LGS, a Winchester 1911 Self Loading 12 gauge, aka the Widowmaker. I didn't look it over close enough to get a date of manufacture on it, but it looked near factory new. Price tag was a...
