I'm just curious how many of you have sold a firearm only to buy back the same model later? If so, how often have you done so? Obviously this could happen because you were experiencing a financial crunch and needed the cash at the time (which happened to me once in my early 20s) or because you...

Wow, pretty bad one! A man in North Carolina was killed while attempting to stop a carjacker. There's a video but I wouldn't recommending watching it if you can help it. In a nutshell, the good Samaritan drew his handgun to stop a carjacker but was ignored. The carjacker decides to take the...

I'd read that the early samples of Ruger's SFAR has some teething issues, perhaps rumor, perhaps well founded. If anyone has a recent one, how do you like it? Has it been reliable with a wide range of ammo? How is the accuracy? I don't have a huge need for one but I have been experiencing an...

What do you folks say is the optimal steel ammo can for storing 5.56 NATO and .300 Blackout ammo in 20 round boxes? I have ten of them made for .30 cal ammo and that size is very inefficient for 20rnd boxes of 5.56. A fair amount will fit but there's a lot of empty space where there isn't the...

I'm a bit of a PWS fanboy, owning three of their rifles, but I'd never heard about the development of the UXR until a couple weeks ago! It's a shade under 7 lbs and does seem poised to provide the modularity that's often been promised but rarely delivered. According to PWS on launch day there...

A recent thread has me wondering this. If you have a 10mm auto will it reliably run 200gr cast? Either way, please describe the following: What model is your 10mm? How many rounds of 200gr have you put through it to establish reliability? What is the failure rate with 200gr cast? FTE, FTF...

I asked this in the General Handgun area but it might get more looks in the Autoloader area. Just curious if anyone here has some trigger time on the M&P-10 2.0? On paper it looks great. Optics-ready out of the box, good capacity, etc. Of course, that only matters if it runs right. Any feedback...

Just curious if anyone here has some trigger time on the M&P-10 2.0? On paper it looks great. Optics-ready out of the box, good capacity, etc. Of course, that only matters if it runs right. Any feedback on the pistol? If I bought it one it would be pretty much for woods use for camping and...

I put best in quotes because obviously it's tough to pick one single "best" of anything. Still, maybe a short list? What are the top 1-6x or 1-8x LPVOs available for $1,500 or less? Some of my criteria: Either 30mm or 34mm. Daylight bright would be good but not a dealbreaker. Motion...

I apologize ahead of time if this one is asking for trouble!:rofl: But if you had access two otherwise-identical AR/AR-adjacent carbines, one in 5.56 NATO and the other in 7.62x39 which would you prefer to rely on for home defense? And why? After ages on a waiting list I've finally secured a...

I hope this is an appropriate place to ask this; I made several searches of the forums and didn't find a better location. I am planning to get a better plate carrier and am fairly well set on First Spear. My first thought was to get a cummerbund retrofit kit for one of my current carriers as I...

I finally got a few more touches on my Beretta 1301 Tactical. First off I got the plastic sight and top rail removed and replaced with an Aridus CROM with an Aimpoint H1 on it. The CROM mounts the optic a lot lower than the stock rail, and the sight is a 1/2 ghost ring with the top cut off...

Okay, this is kind of the flip side to the discussion of the adoption of the "Sig Spear" by the US Army. For the time being it seems this is a done-deal, perhaps not a total replacement but widespread adoption and broad issuing to troops. So for the sake of argument I'll assume no 11th hour...

Well, I guess I just figured the Army was kicking the tires like they always do but apparently the Sig MCX Spear in .277 Fury will be the next infantry rifle. I'm a bit flummoxed by this. Of all the entries it seemed like Sig was the least innovative but maybe that's what they want? Certainly...

Man, this one is just horrible! Apparently a guy was robbed at an ATM and afteward decided to shoot at a truck he thought belonged to the robbers. It was in fact an innocent family of five. The rounds killed the 9 year old daughter.:( The first lesson of this is you can't put the toothpaste...

I realize that every other year there's some new cartridge promising to change the world. But I've been giving the 6mm ARC a long hard look. For the longest time I wanted to pick up a bolt gun in 6.5 Grendel, and maybe an upper. But the ban on imported ammo makes that pretty much a waste of...

Today I got an email from SGAmmo that folks might find interesting. Not political just market analysis from a guy that's been selling ammo for two decades. He explains what's in the pipeline and what he expects for pricing in response, again based on his deep experience. The email: Thank you...

I suppose I could have used "and" instead of "vs" but I want to compare and contrast them a bit. Early this year I bought the OWL and have used it a fair amount. The OWL is a heavy duty, extremely powerful WML with a built in switch, designed for carbine use. I really love the light! The...

I'll admit that the CZ Bren 805 is about my favorite duty/military carbine. CZ discontinued it in 2018 in favor of the Bren 2/806 which seems to have some issues. I've been on the fence about whether to sell mine or keep it; love the rifle but parts could be an issue down the road. Well...

Well, despite it being a weird time to do it what with the end of the world going on and everything, but lately I've been rejiggering my collection a bit. Sold off my tricked out CZ Scorpion and have a couple of other guns listed. My collection/arsenal has been stagnant for a long time. That...
