    BCA CHF Barrel Deal

    If you've been curious about Bear Creek Arsenal's CHF barrels, but couldn't bring yourself to pull the trigger at nearly $300, Gorilla Machining is blowing them out at about $120 each...

    Girsan MC1911 Experience?

    I've had an itch to buy a 45 for a while now. Finally scratched it & put one of these on layaway. Don't have a 1911 in inventory at the moment either so, 2 birds... Not interested in any Turk/Erdogan bashing. Just want to know if anyone has some hands on experience with the Girsan made guns so...

    New HK USP Elite 9mm

    These are darn near impossible to get since HK USA never brings em in. Decided I had to have one & started poking around the web late this summer. Found a post on another forum from a guy who bought one from the Attic in Minot, ND back in February. They're an importer & basically grabbed every...

    Aimpoint CompM5: Factory QD Mount or Aftermarket?

    So I've got my future "go to" build underway because I'm a poli-sci major who can read polls & I'm going to have enough extra commission $ in my next paycheck to afford a CompM5 for it. I'm leaning towards just buying it with the factory mount & being done with it but I'm wondering if there's...

    Latest Build (functionally) Complete

    Just finished assembling a "bump in the night build". Would have been done a while ago but had to swap in a different handguard, barrel, & stock to lighten it up a bit so it's easier for my wife to use should the need arise. As you see it now it's 5 1/2 lbs according to the bathroom scale...

    Zastava USA to Bring in 7.62x25 PPZ?

    That's the rumor on the AK files. Perhaps we should start an email campaign asking em to make it happen... https://zastavaarmsusa.com/contact/

    Cassette type Trigger Set Screws...to loctite or not?

    In today's episode of Covid Cabin Fever: I have 4 AR lowers with cassette type drop in trigger units (1 Rise Armament, 1 Velocity, & 2 Triggertechs) that have set screws to tension them onto the trigger/hammer pins. Because I'm obsessive about this stuff I also utilize KNS anti-rotation/walk...

    404 Jeffery, but in a Lever Gun?

    Quarantine is clearly going on too long because an idea popped into my head this morning and I cannot quite let it go. Using an existing relatively common parent cartridge case, would it be possible to wildcat your way into replicating the old 404 Jeff in a modern lever gun? Parameters: A 400...

    Simple vs. "Modern" Reticles for Self Defense purposes

    I freely admit, I'm new to the optics game. As per my recent post, I only just bought my first scope. A big part of that is because of analysis paralysis brought on by the myriad of choices in brands, magnification ranges and reticles. I've read a LOT of forum posts, articles, and watched...

    Bought My First Scope

    I've looked through a lot of scopes at Cabelas, Gun Shows, etc, shot through scopes on buddies rifles, but when it came to buying my own, I suffered from perpetual Analysis Paralysis. Finally pulled the trigger & ordered my first one this morning. A Meopta Optika6 1-6x24 SFP with the 4C...

    16 Inch 6.5 Grendel Build Almost Finished...Bolt/Muzzle Device?

    I've got a 16 inch 6.5 Grendel build just about finished, to be used for hog hunting, just need to figure out what muzzle device to put on it and what bolt to use. I'm going back & forth between a Maxim NiB coated bolt or a JP Enterprises bolt. Pretty sure I won't go wrong with either, but...

    New Year, New Car, New Car Gun Build

    Ordered an Aero Precision Ambi Lower the other day for $126 shipped. Why? Well... The great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a quirky anti-poaching law where you may not carry a loaded rifle in your vehicle. Ammo must be stored in a separate compartment. Towards the end of 2019, the heater...

    Why are we not talking about the Ruger 5.7 Yet?

    This has been confirmed to be real. I'd want this exact gun about 3x more if it were a 10mm, but whatever. Sub $600, I'll buy this. I don't know what for, but I'll buy it.

    Single Stage AR-15 Trigger Recommendations?

    Heretofore, I'd standardized on 2 stage triggers for my AR builds and have been using either Triggertech or LaRue MBTs. I'm wrapping up a home defense build & have decided on going single stage for this one. I'm looking for an icicle (as opposed to the carrot like feel of a Geissele 2 stage)...

    This was almost a "spend my money" poll...

    Garandimal likes to talk about a "Swamp witch". Well, she must've found me. For the last year or so I've been EDCing (at least when I'm not at work..."Gun Free Zone" Nevermind a couple employees of this company were shot and killed about this time last year in Texas of all places) my Glock 17L...

    Flush Fitting 15 Round Mags for G43X/G48?

    "Big if true" https://shieldarms.com/glock-43x-48-15-round-mag I have no affiliation with Shield Arms, but I've seen a few threads on this around the web & thought it would make for an interesting conversation here. Supposedly they'll be out this summer. If they make it out before the Iowa...

    Grand Power P40L 10mm: First Impressions

    After it was announced Eagle Imports would no longer be importing Grand Power, I quickly made my way over to Buds and put a P40L 10mm on Layaway. (Just about) 90 days later, after a nice Memorial day commission paycheck, I paid it off. It was delivered to my local FFL today. After bringing it...
