These seem like the hot guns right now but I'm struggling to understand why? They're basically a piston AR and a 9mm AR. Am I the only one who is not impressed especially for the $1500+ price tag? Anyone can set-up an AR to do 5.56/300blk or 9mm and have a floated barrel for half the price.

While there are obviously better calibers, I hypothetically sometimes have an internal dialog with myself about high-cap .22lr semi-autos for defense. A single .22lr isn't going to stop anyone in their tracks...but a 25-30rd mag of these little hornets isn't something I'd want to be hit with...

I've finished building my first lower and now moving to the next step of tackling my upper. I prefer building since I find the process fun. In my reading a lot of emphasis being put on torquing the barrel. I'm familiar with using a torque wrench when working on my cars/motorcycles but these guys...

In the midst of building my upper so I'm contemplating should I go free or non. I understand some of the benefits of free float...increased accuracy, barrel cooling, shoot longer with tighter groups. But what about how hot the fore end actually gets? I do 90% of my shooting standing off-hand no...

This is what I consider my first quality air rifle to my collection since I started with airgunning this past summer. Before this my pellet air rifles have been the Daisy 880 (my intro airgun) and Crosman M4 (.223 on the shelf ha!). These functionally are excellent, don't get me wrong...but...

Need some tips on writing my Mayor about their updated weapons ordinance. The village code was updated in July after HB183. They’ve always had an AWB, but I have noticed some changes…the banned weapons list has shortened, and removed is language that has restrictions about carrying handguns...

Last week while visiting the family house I dug out the pellet gun and plinked away in the back yard. Now that I'm back home (apartment), I'm thinking of picking up a pump pellet gun and building a quiet trap to plink indoors. Pending I keep the velocity down to 2-3 pumps, can I get away with...

Was at the fun shop and spotted one on the used rack. It was priced at $180, synthetic stock and blued. Action felt smooth...handled nice. I thought the safety was a bit wonky. How are these things? Can the rear iron sight be replaced...it was really uhhh :uhoh:. Easy to find mags and do...

I'll be checking bolt spacing, purchasing rollers, new bolt head if it's been grinded, springs, extractors, HK mags etc. I do have a question on ammo though. Does it really only run 7.61x51? Read that .308 will cause split and stuck casing. Any modes around that? .308 is much more readily...

Curious because I have a GSG 1911 .22 and would like to fit a .45 1911 slide and barrel to it. The actual slide, barrel and mags from the GSG will swap over to a .45 1911 and fire. So this gets me thinking...

Any owners here of the Mac10 varients from MPA? Im interested in the Defender models bit not sur if these are decent.

Anyone fit a slip on Hogue that can work for the Nagant? I know they don't make one specific to it but wondering if any one has experimented and got one to fit. The grip is just too tiny.

Thinking about picking up an AK. It is a aide folder. What stock options do I have in regard to styles? Can I fit a fixed stock to it or am I stuck in the side folding config?

Im trying to remove the handguard on the gas tube. Ive been going at it with a punch but not one budge. I understand these have been crowned. Im hammering from the smaller end. Any tips before i drill it out?

Wanted a Mosin for a while but the size of the 91/30 was holding me back. So I've been on the look out for an M44 carbine. Found one and picked it up tonight. Russian in very good shape. Can't wait to put some rounds through it. :D

Got a membership letter in the mail today. Usually i dont even read my junk mail before i chuck it, but i like working on guns as much as shooting them. Includes a gunsmithing book and american gunsmith. Interesting or garbage?

I have a black VLTOR "modular" butt stock. The side pieces that you can swap out, I'm curious where I can buy those? I'd like to get a set of olive drab side inserts to go with the rest of my rifle theme.

It's a Norinco model SKS. Saw it at the LGS for under $300 so I thought it was a decent deal? Gave it a quick field strip and clean. Will do a full breakdown at a later date but for now I just wanted to see the basic workings. Wood is in good shape, I'm thinking it's been refinished. It's...

My first polymer pistol. Im wondering if they made a quick slide pull adaptor on this like glocks. I have not been able to google one up. Id just like to try it out. I can charge the slide in one fast forceful motion, but it requires 2x the force as my 1911 or HiPower. Im sure its the double...

I've been thinking of picking up a CMMG bolt conversion kit for the M&P, then selling off my SIG 522 .22lr. This would free up funds for a new project. A lot of ppl seem to prefer building a dedicated upper, but for that cost I might as well just keep the SIG. I mainly just use my SIG as...
