Just looking at converting a Marlin 336 forearm from barrel band to forearm cap. Looking into this I found that mounts for both appear to be in the exact same place. The difference between the two is the cap one has a tenon that slides into a dovetail in the barrel at that point. On the band...

Any one ever come across a known listed good powder/bullet combo that works for both both of them? Was wondering if there was on that exists so I only have to change out the dies, but leave everything else the same. Personally if I could stock only one powder and bullet for 7.62, I would love it.

Any suggestions when it comes to larger red dots or the like? The Romeo7 from Sig looks interesting, but was wondering any one really make ones larger than 30mm? The rifle in question I am planning on putting this on is a Ruger PC Carbine... well will be once the store gets it in, but I have it...

Any one ever see wood covers for keymod or rails? Not hard to do for keymod, but still surprised I've not seen any one actually making any.

Any one else here shoot right handed using their left eye? For lots of firearms, I find my right eye is very problematic to line up nicely, but my left eye comes up very nicely and aligns very nicely. This is especially true with scout scopes, seeing anything other than black through one is...

Any one know where to find a 1895 replacement tube? I can find the 4 shot ones easily, but not the 6 shot ones. The store near me has a older 1895 for sale, one with a 22" barrel and the short 4 shot magazine tube. Just pondering the idea of buying it and putting a longer 6 shot magazine tube...

Just looking to get a laser bore sight to help make sure I have the front sight on the 7.62x39mm disipator I have is properly aligned. Any opinions on makes or brands. A quick look at reviews makes it look like most are of questionable quality.

Any one have any opinions on a decent side mount bipod that is in the sub 100USD range? As to why a side mount bipod, I just finished putting a NcSTAR scout mount on my SKS and it has two side rails. Was just pondering the idea of using that to mount a bipod to if I could find something...

Was out at the range recently and I noticed odd feeding problem with just Tula steel cased ammo v. WWB. When firing the Tula steel cased ammo when I hit the slide release after inserting a fresh magazine, it would consistently jam, with the fresh round getting stuck exiting the magazine. If I...

I've had my Tula SKS-45 for awhile, but this is my first real chance to get it out to the range and put a lot of rounds through it. While doing this I noticed the fixed magazine began getting a bit hot. I know the forward part getting real hot is normal, but I've never heard any thing about this...

In about a month I am going to go visit my parental units in SE KS in Neosho county. Any one have any suggestions on good ranges or places to shoot? Was planning on heading out to werewolf bridge, but a quick check shown the state has more or less demoed it.

Howdy! Any one have any opinions on AR handguard length? Just looking to build a new upper in 7.62x39mm and was pondering the idea of using a low profile gas block and getting a midlength or rifle MOE hangguard and using a YHM flip up sight mounted further up.

Just completed building my self a AR pistol, minus the magwell block which I still need to find. This is in 9mm and is completely Chicago legal thanks to handgun laws now being a thing completely relegated to the state. :)

Any one have any opinion on the two? [7" Pros]================================================== * 4" shorter * If desired a KX3 can be added, not sure if this is worthwhile noise wise or not for 9x19mm. [7" Cons]================================================== * Slightly awkward to...

So the question of power for of .45-70 Gov. v. .458 SOCOM comes up fairly often. This got me curious as the what is rated for a higher pressure as they both take the same bullet. For .458 SOCOM, it is 35k PSI, but unfortunately the .45-70 Gov. is measured in CUP, meaning there is no direct...

Any one have any suggestions on a pair the work nicely with glasses? Been trying to find a nice pair of clip on safety glasses, but no one seems to make any that cover the whole glasses, just the sides.

Any one know of any company currently manufacturing pistol carbines that lack a pistol grip, like the Ruger PC9 or Marlin Camp Carbine?

Any one know how 7.62 NATO and 7.62 CETME compare in terms of bullet drop? Just found myself wondering if I sight in my FR8 at 100 meters how much the the other three will be off.

I am happy as I just got a lovely Taurus PT92 this week. This is something that has made my very excited. The reason for this is it is the first gun I've gotten since handgun preemption kicked in here in IL and now that Chicago laws on the subject of handguns are void, I figure it was time get...

The next Chicago Firearms Meetup is this week on 2013-06-20. The time and location is 18:00 at the Billy Goat on 330 S Wells St. As to why one should be interested, the purpose of this is to serve as a monthly chance for the Chicago locals to get together and discuss a shared topic of...
