    Scope rings for a Varmint flat top AR-15

    I am building a precision AR with a Rock River stainless bull-barreled 20" upper, and with a Magpul Precision adjustable stock. Topping it with a Super Sniper 10x42. That's the known stuff. The unknown is- how high should I make the rings to get a good cheek weld? The Magpul stock is...

    Craigslist score on a Surefire Millenium!

    I wanted a Surefire Millenium M500A for my M4gery, until I priced them. As you all may know- msrp is $515, I could get one for $390 from a dealer here on thr. Still too much, IMHO, as I am cheap. Not so cheap that I would just duct tape a 6P light to the handguard though, and I didn't want to...

    Is this a "straw man" purchase?

    In California only handguns that pass the Department of Justice safety test can be sold. FFLs can not even import used guns that are not on the list. However, there is a loophole. Private party sales are exempt. New residents are allowed to bring whatever handguns they already own with them...

    Aimpoint mounting on a flat top?

    Hey everyone, I was going to buy an Aimpoint CompML2 and mount it on my AR flat top, but was wondering if I need to mount it higher than a ARMS 22M68 would hold it. I keep seeing pictures of people with Aimpoints and they have lifter/spacers there. Would the front sight post get in the way...

    Venemous anti-gun rant on San Francisco Chronicle website

    I don't know if this has been linked yet, but there is a very disturbing, foaming-at-the-mouth pile of evil venom posing as an Opinion column on the SFGate.com website. If you have just had something to eat, please don't read this. I feel sick to my stomach. I was going to email the author...

    Is this right? Utah figures on CCW revocations!

    This is from the following article on the Christian Science Monitor website: http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0729/p01s02-uspo.html I was under the belief that very few CCWs are revoked anywhere- but in Utah nearly 2% have? How many of these were for committing violent felonies? The article says...
