I'm not going to spend money on a big heavy "gun safe" that is really just an RSC. I have thought about more secure options such as Sturdy Safe but they still store the guns upright. I want a safe that allows the guns to be stored horizontally, perhaps built and hidden in a wall. Has anyone...

I have a well used but cared for M12 made in '47 that I take out for casual clay shooting. I've been thinking of getting another 12ga shotgun, possibly an early 870 wingmaster, but I'm asking if there are any other guns I should consider instead? A few requirements: a corncob style fore end, no...

For those of you with AR's, do you buy any spare parts for them? If so, what parts, and how do you prevent those spares from turning into another rifle? And if you have a piston AR, do you buy extra piston/op rod parts?

I casually shoot clays with a pair of vintage 12ga. I don't reload so I use low pressure RST shells to minimize wear and tear. The Fox Sterlingworth uses 2.5" - 3/4oz @ 1125. The Model 12 uses 2.75" - 7/8oz @ 1200. I'm shooting at ranges of 20 to 50 yards with these smaller payloads...

I have several thousand rounds of CCI .22 cb shorts that are great for shooting without hearing protection out of my old single shot Remington 33. But the 33 is a short/long/long rifle chamber so the shorts are not as accurate because of the bullet jump, and the carbon is tough to clean out of...

I have a question for any chemists here about moisture indicating silica. I have about 70 of these sealed 40g desiccant tins (quarter for size reference), and use them for long term ammo storage in surplus ammo cans (one tin per can). The packaging says to recharge them in the oven at 300 F for...

Looking to build a 9mm AR. So far I've done some research and if you've built one tell me what you liked or what you would do differently and why... Colt/Uzi stick mags or Glock mags? Hahn magwell block or dedicated lower? Ramped 9mm bolt? How to reduce wear or wallowing of the...

Many threads here rip apart recent "feel good" legislation attempts, and rightfully so as they will accomplish nothing but direct or defacto gun registration and later confiscation of legally obtained weapons from lawful citizens. Mag limits, gun bans based on cosmetic features, and...

So I went to a rental range today to compare my P225 against a few pistols I've been eyeing. Really wanted to try the Ruger LC9s but it was gone for repair (something about a broken spring assembly). None of the other polymer compacts felt right in the hand, or had off putting features. The...

I hear all sorts of attitudes/statements (on the net and in gun shops) about carrying a single stack .45 with 7 or 8 rounds as a serious defensive gun for carry or home protection, but then bemoan a single stack 9mm with maybe 8 or 9 rounds as barely adequate capacity for the same purposes. What...

A couple of my AR's when the bolt is locked back (hammer cocked) and I rotate the selector lever to safe it's really stiff and binding. When the bolt is in battery (hammer still cocked) the selector freely rotates to fire and safe. I'm using ACT triggers and BAD-CASS selectors. It seems there's...

I have a 20" flattop BCM upper with M4 feed ramps, but I've decided to convert it to an A2 rifle. Most of the A2 fixed handle receivers are standard feed ramps, anyone know of any manufacturer that has an A2 receiver with M4 ramps?

So I'm looking to start a youtube gun channel and was wondering how critical it is to cover up the serial numbers of whatever gun I'm showing in the videos? I want to avoid stupid things like a random viewer claiming it's their "stolen" gun (even when I bought it new), or is that just not a...

So I have about 8K rounds of surplus Swiss GP11 stored for my K31's. They are mixed lot years ranging from '79 to '92. All of them were in sealed battle packs with no signs of moisture or corrosion on the cases. My concern is I've read some accounts of old surplus ammo as far back as WWII being...

So I have several Sig P6 pistols and the nicest one is an almost new '98. However the very top of the frame is showing scratches from the slide, and while I see very minor rub marks on some of the other P6's, this one is bare aluminum. I cannot detect any burr or machining marks on the slide...

So I was trying several of my pistols to carry IWB, and the P225 felt noticably thinner despite the Sig grip being the widest of the group. So I lined them up and noticed the frame of the gun that is actually in your pants is much thicker on the polymer framed guns. The slides are all...

What old rifle or shotgun would you suggest for a wall hanger in a basement bar at home? Wouldn't have to be functional, but at least aesthetically pleasing and cheap. Bonus if I can remove the firing pin to disable it. Ideas or suggestions on what I should mount on the wall?

So I thought I would post this simple solution for anyone running a BAD-ASS safety on their AR and had issues like I did with the right lever rubbing or hitting the kuckle of the trigger finger. I would thumb the LEFT lever to fire and use the side of my trigger finger on the RIGHT lever to...

What effect on recoil does a rifle vs carbine length buffer system have on a 20" barrel rifle length gas system? Do heavier buffer weights negate the buffer tube length differences? I'm looking to get a BCM A4 and thinking of swapping the A2 stock for a UBR stock for versatility but that uses...

Ive searched for a while and all I find is concerns of side to side play in the upper to lower receivers in the AR. Im not worried about that, my concern is a very significant front to rear slip between the upper and lower receivers, and the possible stresses of when it fires and the recoil of...
