    Just Bought An AR Lower...Now I Need To Get An Upper!

    Ladies And Gents, Today I just purchased a stripped lower receiver. The manufacturer's page states that the receiver has a mil-spec hard anodized finish. When I saw the receiver in the store, it had a smooth deep black finish. Now that I'm shopping for an upper receiver/assembly, I need...

    Need To Tweek My New Springfield Armory MC Operator

    Gunnie, as far as I know, the only different in is the bulb/brightness/run time. I was shooting 230 grain FMJ ammunition.

    Need To Tweek My New Springfield Armory MC Operator

    When I got home from Iraq two weeks ago, I treated myself to my dream pistol...the Springfield Armory MC Operator. After my 10-day wait, I picked her up, cleaned her, put a Surefire X300 on her, and took her to the range today with over 200 rounds in my range bag. The pistol is VERY tight...

    New To Reloading

    Firstly gents, it's an honor to serve you all. It's especially good to hear people back home who appreciate what we're doing out here. This is my second deployment and I don't regret serving either tour. So it sounds as though the progressive is the press for me. Now it's just a task of picking...

    New To Reloading

    Yeah, I was really looking into the Dillon 550B, but then I saw the Hornady Lock-N-Load AP. I've heard the Hornady is tad bit more user-friendly. Opinions?

    New To Reloading

    Alright ladies and gents, I'm about to ask a question that I'm sure you all encounter in this sub-forum on a regular basis. I'm currently in Iraq and internet time is few and far between...and once you do get on, it feels like 56k slow! I would do more research on my own, but I simply do not...

    Hello All, My wife and I are moving to Austin, TX next year after I get back from Iraq and finish up my remaining time in the Marine Corps. I've lived in California for the better part of my life and I want to get into law enforcement and live in a FREE STATE! The one good thing about CA...

    How does current US infantry carry ammo?

    Very few use actual USGI gear nowadays... Most guys go the extra mile and pay for gear that fits our needs/preferences better than the pouches that some zero at battalion ordered. Are you looking for a belt type or MOLLE platform? I personally try to stick with Tactical Assault Gear or...

    Knoxx Stocks

    I am looking to make a few changes to my Remington 870P MAX shotgun. It's a great shotgun, no complaints from me. My intention is to make the shotgun more portable. With it's full stock and overall length, my shotgun is more appropriately used as a primary weapon. I'm going to be buying a...

    Rifle as Home Defense?

    I have my Springer 1911 and Surefire G2 on my nightstand when I sleep at night. Not necessarily because I find it the most effective weapon for home defense, but because it's something I can snatch up in a hurry, present, and fire. A shotgun is the ideal HD weapon IMO, but trying to swing my...

    Springfield 1911A1: GI, Mil Spec, or Loaded?

    Based on your parameters (low budget) that narrowed it down to the Mil Spec and GI IMO. I have, love, and shoot the hell out of my GI. I got the GI to build something like what my father would have carried in Vietnam and what my grandfathers carried in WWII. I'm going to get a Loaded also, but...

    Garand advice

    I bought mine from Tony at Garand Guy. He was fast, personable, and delivered an awesome product. This is back when the only thing the CMP had were rack grades that were in bad shape. I figured why buy a rack grade and have to rebarrel it, refinish it, and put a new stock on it? I've never...
