Hi y'all, I have a question in regards to the age to purchase a suppressor. Since Iowa made it legal to own suppressors just recently :what:. I am eager to start the trust, but I am only 20 (turning 21 in late August). That being said, when does the '21' rule start? When I start the NFA...

I have a question, how many oz's (approx) does it take to lube a firearm? This is understanding that every firearm is different, but a very general approx would be nice..

How long do y'all think an aluminum (most likely 7075) trigger group would last in an AR? What kind of failures would you potentially see after long usage?

On the subject of monocores, Do you think the BATFE would consider a monocore (without the center hole for a bullet to pass through & no threading) a paper weight, therefore subject to no regulation? I understand the best way to get answers is to contact the BATFE, but I would like...

So I got to thinking, would it be possible to machine an Uzi receiver out of aluminum while using an old Uzi parts for everything else (except barrel, bolt etc etc etc)? The aluminum would be 6061-T651

I'm going to go about designing an AR butt stock that goes on an A2 buffer tube. Now, for this, I'd like ideas on what options to use on this. This will be 3D printed, so let your ideas run wild!@

As I was browsing MSN (I like my daily laughs) I came across the following link: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-congressman-who-posed-with-gun-in-office-could-face-probe/ar-AAbsBnC Besides the media reporting that it is an assault rifle (even though the Republican senator says it is...

I have begun my foray into 3D printing gun parts! My first part was a M92 handguard with an AFG built into it. Even though I have not tested it yet (I'm curious to see if it breaks, and also to see how well it holds up to heat). This part was printed out of ABS material, with a 10-25% fill...

If I were to 3D print a gun stock made up of 40% recycled wood and the rest a binding polymer, would it crack if I put it on a 12Ga shotgun?

Do blowback bolts need to be timed on a closed bolt system?

Recently, I've been looking at putting a thompson barrel on an AR-15 upper. The only issue is that the threads don't match. If I were to make a thread 'converter,' ie a piece of round stock that can convert the threads on the AR Upper (1.250x18) to something more reasonable as 7/8-20 or the...

Is it possible to take a regular 5.56mm bolt carrier and design a new .45acp (that fits in the 5.56mm bolt carrier) and have them function flawlessly?

On the SB47, what is kind of alloy is the metal? I'm assuming it is a steel alloy, but I am not sure. Suggestions?

Mpa 10sst .45acp Hi all, I'm looking for specs on a MPA 10SST in .45acp. Specifically, how many threads are on the (7/8-9) barrel, length of the barrel sticking out & how far from the receiver before the threads begin?

I was browsing through Armslist seeing what to drool over, and I came across this post http://www.armslist.com/posts/3441745/iowa-nfa-firearms-for-sale--transferable-colt-sp1. Now, I have a couple of questions. First, is this a sting operation? The price seems way to low for a RR AND this...

A couple of weeks ago, I asked if anyone would be interested in seeing take a stock Glock 17 Gen 3 into a race gun. I now have that! During this project, I'll be custom making my own compensator. I wish I could make more of my own parts, but I don't have enough time to make them sadly. To...

As a person wanting to get into the gun industry as a mechanical engineer, when would be the best time to start asking gun companies if they had open positions? How long before graduation completion? Or do I even try to do internships with these companies?

I figure this is doesn't actually exist, but does anyone have a blueprint of a Glock 17 Gen3 lower?

Is anyone interested in seeing a documented process of turning a Gen3 Glock 17 into a race gun for the open division in USPSA?

Can I hang 3.2 oz off of a G17 Lone Wolf barrel w/o having to worry about it affecting cycling? P.S. I'm assuming the answer is yes from research, but I'd like to double check myself.
