    Online gun store report chargeback as stolen

    So I heard about this situation today, and was unsure if this was even possible. Basically a customer transfered a firearm through our local FFL from an online gun dealer. Apperently there were some issues with the firearm as soon as they got it home because they came back asking how they could...

    Optic for Springfield XDM 10mm OSP

    I am pretty new to the whole red-dots-on-pistols thing, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I just got a 10mm XDM OSP model which has a cutout for red dots, suppressor sights and a threaded barrel. I am looking around at micro dots, and I'm hearing RMR, Doctor adapter...

    Best way to Removing Bluing

    Well I just got back from my LGS which got the Romanian TT-33c Tokarev shipped into from off of Brownells. Lucky me since I am from WA and this is a handgun, I get to wait 10 business days before I can pick it up. It had one weird "issue with the finish. Normally the barrel is not blue, and is...

    Savage Warranty Repair

    So I was excited to pick up a new plinker. It is a Savage Mark II 22LR from my local Bimart. Well my joy turned to sorrow when I realized the dovetailed front sight was off center and was wedged in so tight that material would have to be removed from the dovetailed post in the barrel to get it...

    Maverick 88 Questionable finish

    Ok so I'm still shocked by this. I got one of those inexpensive plastic clip on fiber optic barrel sights for my Maverick 88. Cliped it on and then needed to push it forward a little so it would rest against the bead sight and stay aligned. Grabbed a rubber mallet (which is in good condition)...

    I assume this isnt normal...

    I just got an Athlon Argos 6-24x50 BTR off Amazon in used "Like New" condition. Scope body looked fine and was about to mount it when I noticed some fillings or shavings inside the scope tube nearest the objective lens. I have never seen an issue like this before. I assume this needs to go back?

    AR-15 Handguard on AR-10

    Well the title says it all. Didnt think it was possible, but I was just going through my parts drawer for my budget build AR-10 (PSA Gen 3 AR-10 kit) and mine was set up with a classic A2 front sight with Delta ring and drop in handguards. I found an old UTG Pro handguard from a few moons ago...

    Boresighter = Crown wear?

    Hey guys, So I got something in my head that has been bugging me for the past few days. I got one of those basic laser bore-sighters you can find on Amazon amongst other places. Seemed pretty straight forward. Attach the adapter and twist up to expand it until it is approximately the right size...

    Great, now we have to deal with this....

    ISIS vs Iraqi Militiamen

    I know there are a lot of opinions out there spinning around the internet, a lot of it politically fueled. The Iraqi military had some major setbacks earlier this week in Anbar province. I for one am glad to see that the Iraqi people will not just sit on their laurels and let their country be...

    Metallurgist question: extractors

    Have been looking at some m16 bolts and was interested in machining extractors. I have a couple choices of steel available to me. 4130(maybe) 4140(better) 440A (no) 420 (no) 1050 (no) and 8620 tool steel (sounds good), 154CM (sounds cool but too way brittle, and hard on the machines). I'm...

    Anti-rotational Pins: Worth it?

    So what are your opinions on anti-rotational pins like those by KNS? On one hand they say they prevent wear to the receiver. On the other hand, the military who uses full auto m4 and m16, doesn't see the need for then and many early generations of anti-rotational pins broke. What are your...

    Is this Legit?

    Does this seem legit to you:http://www.ebay.com/itm/121537849655 Was trying to decide between it and a slightly more expensive buffer from PSA, but if there the same thing why spend the extra coin. Read the description 7075 t6 anodized with 3 weights, so it seems to be a legitimate OEM buffer.

    What do they really do during the 7-day wait periods?

    Or 3 day, 10 day, etc. I was wondering, especially from LGS owners maybe how long does it actually take for the background check to be complete (of course you still can't pick up the firearm until they waiting period is over). Or in most cases do the background checks just "time out" and the gun...

    Noob AR question: Is this wear normal?

    Hey I know I might get some flak for this, but better safe then sorry. My other ARs came pre-worn so I never bother checking for dings and bumps pretty much ever. I noticed on my factory built AR the other day that the "selector stop" had a tiny chip in it with only maybe 2-3 dozen flips of...

    Cold Hammer forged worth the extra $$?

    Well I was looking for an upper for my Pre-sb281 (Maryland law) AR-15. I was looking at BCM barrels, and was trying to decide if the extra $85 dollars is worth it for a barrel that is CHF. Now I know that people say a CHF barrel will last longer, but if the barrel is already chrome lined then...

    Chrome Lined vs Nitrided and Melonite

    So some of you may know that I am looking for a new AR upper. As I was looking I was discounting anything that wasn't chrome-lined. There seems to be a new sugguestion that nitriding is just as good as chrome-lining but without the accuracy disadvantage. I have also heard the same agreement for...

    HBAR uppers for MD compliance

    As many of you may or may not know, here in the state of MD only HBAR and AR pistols are the only legal AR-15 platforms since October 2013. I have 2 stripped lowers and plan to build one into a AR pistol and the other into another HBAR. I am going to be moving ahead with the second HBAR build...
