I have acquired all the parts for an AR15 build and today I got started. I put the lower together with only a few minor misadventures. The upper receiver was a bit harder and I hope I didn't break anything. I installed the barrel and then test fitted with the gas block, gas tube, bolt...

After deciding against converting my Saiga .223 (it handles well and is more accurate than I expected), I got curious about painting it. The goal is to make it look like less like an Evil Black Rifle. I did some Googling and found there are no shortage of paint choices. However I am unable to...

I have a SIG P6 and need to replace the grips. What should I be looking for? My P6 is a range gun and the first thing I'd grab if someone is trying to kick down my door.

I have seen reviews and read about the Definitive Arms Saiga conversion. Having a Saiga .223, I am thinking of asking them to do a AR magazine conversion for my carbine. Has anyone had direct experience with the company that they would be willing to share? Thanks!

I have a Mosin 91/30 that I have been feeding Ulyanovsk LVE 7.62x54r. Its cheap current production ammunition. Previously, I used Tula and had no serious extraction issues. However, once I started using the new batch, the cartridges became difficult to extract. I have seen no signs of over...

I have a VEPR 7.62xrr54r (02) sitting at my FFL waiting for MD to not disqualify it. I hope to do a pistol grip conversion on it. Has anyone had experience with the Archangle stock and the ATI Scorpoin pistol grip? Is there anything to look for in a hand guard? I am aware of the...

Last night, I did paperwork on a Type 2 VEPR 7.62x54r with the rough unfinished furniture. I noticed two things, firstly that it does not take down like a normal AK, the push button is depressed until the receiver cover can be pulled over it. I could not figure it out in the store. From...

I am starting to think about buying a polymer framed, striker fired double stack pistol in 9mm Parabellum. I plan to use it as a range gun for target shooting. I have done some research and narrowed it down to the S&W M&P9, Ruger SR9, and FNH FNS9. I have found plenty of discussions...

There is a hearing on the 1 March in Annapolis on several pieces of gun legislation. Last time there were between 3 and 4 thousand people who showed up, mostly on our side. We need to do it again. Here are the details: http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=107916 We need...

I am planning to visit some friends across the river in Northern Virgina and all go to the range. I am hoping to find an outdoor range that does not require range ammo and is reasonably priced. Any suggestions?

I want to put better sights on my P6/SIG. Presently I am thinking of the LPA sights sold by http://www.precisionsights.com/. I am thinking of the Fiber Optic (TTF) or the Low Profile (TPU). For me this is a range toy. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these options? Are...

I am planning to go to either Hap Baker or Elk Neck State Forest (in MD) in the next few weeks. 95% of my range trips has been to the NRA HQ range. I presume that the range provides the target stands but not targets, target staplers and I should get a decent spotting scope. Is there...

I purchased a ex West German Police P6 and am waiting for the MD waiting period to run out so I can take possession. :cuss: I found instructions on Chuckhawks for a handgun inspection. I handled it at the shop and it seems to be in good shape externally (did not take it down). All...

I saw that AIM Surplus has surplus Sig Sauer 225s. I am looking for a 1st centerfire pistol but don't want to buy one just yet. Should I break down and buy one? I am looking for a range gun. And have been drooling over a Argentine Hi Power at a local gun shop. One one hand the 225 is an...

I am working on a Mosin Nagant clean up project. Is there a good basic set of brass punches and screw drivers that I should purchase for the project? I looked at Brownells and its a little overwhelming.

I started cleaning my CZ 452's bore with a Universal field kit from pro-shot and found the cleaning rod is a very tight fit. I even found rifling marks on the rod. :what: Did I break anything? I only made 5-6 passes. The bore feels very tight compared to my Beretta Neos. I suspect...

I got an email from Classic Arms claiming that the supply of Mosin Nagant 91/30s in Russia is about to be exhausted. Is this true or is this a used car salesman email? Is Classic Firearms (http://www.classicfirearms.com) good to do business with? My only concern is that I have wanted one...

About two weeks ago a placed an order at my FLGS for a CZ 452 Trainer. They said it would take 10 days to 6 months depending on where they could locate one. On Friday I called the FFL and he says that he can't find one and is waiting for the next shipment to arrive. Does anyone have...
