The video is an interesting report about how Kalashnikov Group is rebranding itself in response to US sanctions. Prior to, domestic US customers made up the vast bulk of their sales, but they are now targeting militaries around the world to offset lost revenue. Of note is the diversity of US...

Has anybody ever tried to convert an existing AR barrel with carbine length gas system to a mid, or even rifle length? Drilling the new gas port is straight forward enough, i assume, but sealing the existing carbine length port is the tricky part. I've considered a low profile gas block...

If one is purchasing an SBR that was registered years ago with "multi" for the caliber and barrel length, can it be transferred as such since its already registered that way? Or will the form four require the current barrel length and caliber configuration to be listed to be approved?

The linked video is of a military recruiting event in Ukraine. A huge variety of weapons are displayed. What strikes me is the variety of different weapons but there is some really cool stuff shown. There is what appears to be some type of DMR/sniper rifle at 3:03 which I'm unable to identify...

I have an idea for a device which would require removal of the barrel before a thread on silencer could be removed. If said barrel was under 16" but longer than with the silencer, would said weapon still be an NFA item? To clarify, while installed, the silencer could not be removed from the...

While watching combat footage of Spetsnaz in Dagestan I was surprised to see that they were using Eotechs on their LMG's and I even saw an Aimpoint on an AK. From what I could tell they were all attached with side mounts with a rail on top. I wonder how prevalent Western optics are in the...

I called HK on Thursday to order all the necessary parts to convert my HK P2000sk from DA/SA to a LEM trigger V1 and V2. I also ordered an HK45 mag release paddle. The rep was extremely helpful but informed me that only a couple of my requested parts were in order and the rest weren't expected...

If I find a buyer for a pistol in another state can I, as a non-FFL private citizen, ship the firearm to an FFL in the buyers state to transfer the weapon to him? *I'm not sure if General Pistol forum would be more appropriate or not but I believe the process would be the same for rifles so I...

I recently got to take my Osprey .45 home and I'm considering it's use on other guns in .40 and/or 9mm. I'm trying to find out how effective it and other .45 cans are on those calibers. Does anybody have experience with such or can point me in the direction of some sound tests?

The word is that NFA approvals are now taking 15 months which we can all agree really sucks. What are some ideas to "fix" this? Obviously most of us would love to do away with the whole process but that is not likely a realistic goal in the near future. Is it simply a matter of the NFA hiring...

Quite a few piston driven semi-autos vent excess gas from the op rod tube. Would a device that captures such constitute a silencer? What if used in conjunction with a traditional muzzle mounted silencer? My Steyr AUG, for example, does not suppress terribly well because of the report from excess...

The following is an article by a man whose life has been destroyed by Draconian gun laws of New Jersey. While there are always multiple sides to every story, he says that he actually lost visitation rights to his four year old son because of the non-violent but gun related felony conviction...

My LGS has a few used 5.56 cans for between $250 and $300. They have Gemtechs and another brand, I don't recall. All are direct thread and were trade ins from the SWAT teams of a midsize city (Temple, TX) so high round counts. They came mounted to 10.5 Colts but are being sold separately. The...

Are those of us waiting patiently for tax stamps going to experience longer delays due to the impending shut down?

The wife and I are expecting our first boy and we've been brainstorming names. I think Styer is cool but she is luke warm. She's more favorable to Barrett but i'm an AUG fan. Anyways, has anybody else given their kid a gun name?

A friend went through the local LE sign off for converting a rifle to an SBR. Several months ago the Travis County Sheriff promptly signed and returned his form which was then sent off the ATF. Last week my friend was in Florida when he had an encounter with the police in which they ran his ID...

I'm looking to install a folding stock adapter with AR gas tube. Which are good and which to avoid? My primary concern is reliablity and durability. I really dig the Make M4AK based on how sturdy and tough it appears but $360 is a bit steep.

Every time i watch Piers Morgan debate in favor of gun control he cites the total number of "gun murders" in England and other countries relative to the US. Has anybody countered with the question of "why do only gun murders matter to him" and "is murder by other methods acceptable"? Also, it...

My LGS was completely cleaned out of Glock 22 mags but had a box full of Glock 31 mags at their normal price. Most apparently don't know they are interchangeable. They limit mag purchases to five of each type per month so i bought my limit.

I recently picked up a used Mini 14 that was sold to my LGS by a Police Department from their evidence room. The muzzle has a step cut in it. Did Ruger do this during the AWB to prevent threading?
