I got an email from KT about this on New Year's. The recent $100 rebate on Gen 2 Subs had some people speculating that KT was blowing them out to make room for a new model... that is indeed the case. The big change is that this generation is optic ready. The barrel rotates over when you unfold...

Hey guys, I have a 4" Security Six police trade-in with some really small grips I don't care for. I am pretty Six-illerate, so what options are out there to replace them? The serial number starts with 157. I prefer wood but don't mind rubber, the one dealbreaker is that I really hate finger...

I want one and can't find anything on Google. Not well set up to build my own. Anyone have ideas?

My dad's got some money burning a hole in his pocket and wants a new 380. I have no interest and little experience with 380s, so I figured this would be a good one to ask the internet. Some details to help. -Use will be 95% as a range shooter and a fun gun. It might get thrown in a motorcycle...

I have an old Rossi 92 in 357 from the Interarms days and love it. One of my favorite guns that I own. Anyway, I've thought about adding another one to the gun hoard - maybe a 357 in 20" or a 44 magnum. But Rossi had shut off manufacturing for the 92s for years, moved it I think to another...

The thread on "blowing out lead" with jacketed bullets got me thinking. All the revolvers I have are pretty old and have seen some pretty decent round counts - not extreme by any stretch, but put two or three boxes a year through them for 50 years and it starts adding up. I also just bought a...

Just saw this on Buds: $472 for a scope-mount CZ 527. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/2084_36_63_971/products_id/24843/CZ-USA+CZ+527+American+Bolt+7.62x39mm+21.8+5%2B1+Beechwood+Stk+Black You can get in on the fun for probably right at $500 delivered to your FFL. The...

I got thinking today: what's a gun that you've spent way more than you could justify or what made sense, but it somehow ended up being worth it to you? For me, I saw a CZ 527 at a local gun shop on the used rack and immediately fell in love. It was $600 on the shelf with the scope rings still...

I ordered one of the "Ugly Smith" Model 10s that people were talking about off of Bud's the other day. I figured a 4" .38 would be fun to plink with, and at $269, it might make a fun project gun. I've seen some pics coming back in from people who have bought these, and ho lee crap, they are...

I've shot a Hi-Point 9mm pistol before, and to be frank, it was a POS. Pointed like a brick, trigger sucked, sights were off, jammed left and right on Tula ammo. Today, I went out plinking with a friend and he brought a Hi Point .40 he had. It went through a couple boxes of brass ammo...

Title. A family member is looking to buy this gun, and I'm curious to know what it's worth. Gun is in good shape and hasn't been taken out of the safe in years. One thing I did notice is that the barrel is marked "250-3000", not "250 Savage". I read on one forum that this is rare and may be...

I'm seeing all these "Security 9s", "SR9E", "American 9", "SR9", and they all just look like the same gun to me. What's the difference between all these?

"For two centuries, it has been a totem of America’s gun culture -- a name emblazoned on frontier flintlocks and U.S. Army .45s. But on Monday Remington Outdoor Co., which traces its history back to 1816, said it would file for bankruptcy protection, succumbing to a slump in business worsened...

I am trying to knock together a retro build - not 100% authentic, but just something to get the look and feel of the old school M16s. I've got a lower built with a fixed stock on it, and now it's time to get the upper. The plan was just to buy a 20" pencil barrel upper from Del-Ton and put an...

I got reading about some of those 1950s Project Salvo guns, where they tried building those fletchette rifles, and some of those results sound almost too good to be true. This is from Wikipedia: "Various multiple barrel rifles entered the project. The resulting "burst simulators" were tested in...

Quick question for all you retro fans: How common were the three-prong duckbill flash hiders on the original M16s? For most soldiers around that Vietnam era, would you be issued a rifle with an A1 flash hider or a duckbill flash hider? I'm planning on knocking together an A1 build and was...

In principle, I get that installing an LPK is easy. You've got your pre-drilled holes in the lower and you just fill them with buttons, pins, and springs. But when the rubber hits the road, and the teeny spring meets the unsteady hand, how hard are these LPKs to actually build? Asking because...

Starting to plan out a build, and I need some advice. How wide are the A2 rifle handguards? Are they closer to the M4 handguards, or closer to the single head shield CAR handguard?

Very interesting stuff. I've been wanting to build an A1 clone for a while, but expensive, crappy furniture always held me off. Looks like Brownells has come up with an answer for that. http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?avs|Newsletter_1=AR-15+Retro+Build It will be interesting to see...

I haven't seen the Rossi 92s in 357 in stock on Bud's for a long time. I've heard that Rossi does their production in runs every few months or so, but I don't think I've seen a 357 in stock for almost a year. Today I checked to Rossi's website, and the only 92s they even mention are in 45 LC...
