Ok, I'm looking to switch out a standard front sight tower with a low profile gas block and plan to trade out the old carbine handguards with a midlength or longer rail. My question is how do I go about doing this? I don't understand the .750, .625 bore, clamp-mounted or set screw mounted...

Ok, I have an M&P Compact .40 caliber and want to shoot 9mm through it. I have a few questions on how to do so: First, I've heard you MUST use a ".40 to 9mm Conversion" barrel in order for it to lock up tight enough. Is that true, or is it a minimal safety/performance concern? Second, I've...

I'm going to start carrying a backup pistol (P3AT) and I really like the idea of a belt holster instead of a goofy ankle or pocket holster. I saw the Raven Concealment Industries Eclipse "Iverson" Holster, but cannot find a single review of the holster and absolutely no pics other than what is...

I have an old wingmaster and don't get me wrong, the oldschool bluing is beautiful, but it just doesnt work for the look I want. I'm trying to make it a little more tactical, make it so I'm not afraid to use and abuse it. So I want it parkerized or a finish that is as strong and ugly as parker...

Put a few mags of .40 180 gr JHP/FMJ through my Glock 22 the other day and the locking block pin almost backed all the way out. I compared it to my Glock 23 and the 23 is ridiculously tight where the 22 can be pressed out with your fingernail and twisted by hand. Obviously I can go shooting my...

Finally got a chance to go shooting at the brand new range and though I got a huge load off my shoulders in the way of zeroing an AR, I found a huge flaw in my Glock 22. I was fortunate enough to be a member's guest and all I had to worry about was getting a safety brief. So Megan and I had...

I may be way off here, but is it possible to interchange any of the Glock caliber-specific receivers or frames with other Glock slides? Not sure if this is the best way to explain what I mean, but could a complete Glock 22 slide (and barrel of course, plus recoil rod/spring) be put on a Glock 23...

I've heard you can fire a 9mm striker-fired pistol (Glock, M&P) while pressing your thumb onto the slide plate cover (rear of slide) and keep the firearm from cycling. As in with suppressed fire to fire an even more suppressed shot. Where with an AR/M16/M4 type firearm you can use an adjustable...

I have a S&W M&P .40 Compact and have been scowering(sp?) the net for the best looking/working kydex holster and am stuck between: The ExoConcealment Holster: http://store.exoconcealmentproducts.com/product_info.php?products_id=31&osCsid=b273ec8dbd75e9920fca43de6792acfc The Bravo...

Okay, I have no intention of breaking the law and have no means of actually building (or destructing?) a firearm, but how would one go about building their own short barrel shotgun? I know there's a ton of legal issues surrounding this subject and I don't need to hear any more of them, this...

I've been looking everywhere for mag pulls that AREN'T Magpul... with no luck to say the least. I like Magpul products, but am interested in larger looped pulls like the ones in the photo for my bigger hands and fumbly fingers. Can anybody steer me in the right direction, maybe a manufacturer on...

Ok, I'm changing out the good ol' carry handle (FINALLY). What backup iron sight should I use? I have a GI front sight tower and plan on using my new Eotech 517. Open to all suggestions!

Ok I just came across a DS from an old friend's stash and it seems to need a bit of work. The timing is defintiely off, but where do I go from here? I've been told that timing/tuning a Colt revolver is somewhat of an art and only highly qualified Colt specialists can do it, so should I just mail...

My buddy's stepdad is trying to surprise him with a new Beretta M9, BUT: -The firearm has been bought in Florida -The stepson is 20 -The firearm has to ship through an FFL to Virginia SO, my question is, how could the stepdad send the firearm to our local gunshop for my buddy to pick...

The other day I went to a gunshop new to me, but it's been around for about 40 years or so. As i pulled in, there was an individual standing outside with an AR on a single-point sling with his hand on the grip; he was even indexing the trigger as I walked up. He put out his cigarette, asked if I...

In training, I've been taught half and half to either look through my sights and focus on my target or to find my front sight post and place it over my target. When push comes to shove, I'm using my self defense carry handgun to place shots no more than 15 feet away; does anyone NEED their...

Okay, I'm not trying to rile anyone up, though I'm sure someone will be; I want opinions on how to act in general to be left alone on the 'bad side' of town. I live in Richmond, VA which has had its fair share of scary moments and high crime rates. I've had to draw my weapon three times now...

I have a 590 and want to put on the ghost ring sights. I'm new to the gun, but I do realize the tapped receiver allows these sights to be fitted; how is this done and will I need to get in touch with my local gunsmith?

I really want to get my hands on a metal trigger group for my Mossberg 590. I have searched and searched and all that's left to do is call Mossberg and have them tell me it's either unavailable for the civilian/non dealer market or that I just haven't found it online yet. Has anyone come across...

I'm looking for an M500 smooth bore blued barrel, preferably with the accu-choke, with rifle sights. I want to keep my length down to 20 inches. Is there such thing and if so how can I get my hands on it without buying a whole new shotgun?
