I was reviewing various AR15 videos, and saw that many of the uppers were being built with shims going over the chamber-end of the barrel and then being slide into the receiver. This would be used to slightly extend the barrel out of the receiver, affecting the alignment of the notches in the...

A new-to-me RRA BT3. I'm still troubleshooting the root problem, but I noticed this about all of the spent brass. The two scratches appear to be from the lugs on either side of the feed ramp. The dent appears to be happening during extraction. It's hard to tell from the picture, but it is...

This is sort of a reloading question since it deals with components, so this seemed the best place for it. Mods feel free to move where better... I had some ammo go bad on me, and I wanted to demolish my remaining stock of it. So, I pulled the bullets, dumped and burned the powder, and decided...

Is there any way to tighten a leather holster in terms of its retention on a pistol? I've got a form-fitted pocket holster that used to be pretty tight, but it has loosen over time. It has a couple of rivets instead of screws, but they seemed to be located where they wouldn't make much of a...

Question for the kids (4, 5, & 8): Which of these is the real gun? I made it a bit of a trick question by putting the stickers on the real one and taping the barrel on the toy, but I wanted to get the point across that they can't always tell just by looking.

Does anyone have some guidelines on how to cut a stock down? I have an extra stock for a Marlin 60 I want to cut down for my 7 year old. I can measure the distance from where his eye is vs. where it should be for the scope, but I wasn't sure what is the best way to cut the stock down...

Jim Cirillo is well known for his gun and bullet theories, and had also developed a sight system discussed here: www.goshen-hexsite.com/pdf/michael_conti.pdf But, he apparently died right after this article was published (2007/2006, respectively). Did anyone ever start producing these...

After looking at the thread on the Ms. Magazine article, I started looking around on their site and found this picture on another article. It seems to be a pretty common picture on the internet, but it looks like a Lego or toy or maybe something homemade. Any ideas?

I have a security six that I replaced the factory grips with Hogue rubber grips. The Hogue grips are two pieces and each is well formed and getting good contact on the frame. At the front, there is an uneven gap where the two halves come together. In some spots, they touch, in others they...

After reading another thread, here is a situation few of will ever have but some may have already. Say you have a house fire. Whether or not they're in a safe, your guns are soaked by the time you get to them, either from the fireman's hose or from the sheet rock in the safe. You know that...

So, two illegals get a total of less than two months in prison for coming into the US illegally and having 147 "assault rifles." Prosecutors not saying very much. Presumably the reporter was confused about which way the guns were headed, that should still be at least 148 separate crimes for...

Is there a good way to determine that the front sight is vertical? I have a rifle that is shooting right even with the rear sight cranked all the way left. I was told the front sight is canted and to remove the taper pins and square it up. I tried it but without shooting it I have no idea...

a combination of the A.R.M.S. #18 scope mount being used with the #19 QD rail? I have the #18 mount already and I was thinking about adding the #19 rail or using their QD rings. If I use their QD rings, I would also have to get 30mm to 1" reducers. I was wondering how good the #19 is...

If you happen to have an owners manual, does it mention how to remove the firing pin? I'm guessing it's just a matter of rotating the firing pin block, but wanted to be sure before I got into it. tia

I was thinking earlier today.... How does a big box store like Gander Mtn. or Wal-Mart do its FFLs. Is there one person there with the FFL that oversees all of the sales like at a regular gun store or does the store itself have the FFL? If it is a person, I would think that would be...

What's so special about Remington's that are marked "Special Purpose" on the receiver under the ejection port?

For as much as I shoot an M1, there is something I've never quite figured out. When loading a full clip, the clip locks into place as the full clip pushes the follower all the way down. When shooting a high power match and loading just a clip of two rounds, you have to hold the clip and...

Article from Fox: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517481,00.html Anybody ever hear of RND? They make semi-autos, but how available are they outside of the military?

I've been shooting a CMP M1 that requires the rear sight to be very far to the right to be on target. I've read about barrel misalignment on AR15s and Century's AKs, but how much of an issue could this be for an M1? Any way to fix short of removing and reindexing? It's a CMP special grade...

I have some old rifle ammo if anyone can ID it. The first is 6.5 Mannlicher. I have several boxes that I believe goes with an Carl Gustaf rifle I inherited. It is FN made, 1950 by the stamp. They are boxed with standard stripper clips, 5 to a clip. The next is 6.5 Carcano maybe. Its...
