No… this is not “which twist rate”, “what profile”, or “what gas system.” It does relate to barrel profiles though. Ok. So a normal sight base diameter is .750. On a light weight barrel it’s .625. While I can find different size blocks and sight posts that are specific to those barrel...

Model 1 Sales .22 lr uppers The Mrs. just asked me what I might want for my birthday. After some discussion, the topic of a good .22lr rifle came up. Yeah, I know. “Get a 10/22. It’s cheaper and blah blah blah…” Niet interested. I also don’t need Compass Lake accuracy (or the price for...

A couple of questions about RRA Free Float Quad Rails. 1) Can anyone confirm that this Mid-length handguard from RRA isn’t very heavy? http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=310 I called and the person quoted me 12.4 oz. But that was after...

Really… that’s what I’m asking. I think the answer is “NO” in my case, but I just what some input to see if my logic is on point. I need to make sure I’m not trying to avoid both feature creep and over spending at the expense of something that may be useful later. I think we may have...

Sorry, yes… another Upper question. Sorry. Ok… I had pretty much decided to go with this Upper based on all the info gathered here (3rd one down): http://cmmginc.secure-mall.com/shop/?shop=1&cart=1191521&cat=75& But based on the recent CMMG price hike, I’m thinking about a fall...

Ok... one more stupid AR-15 barrel question. This one is not my fault. In listing all the pros and cons of various AR uppers to my wife, I mentioned that the 1/7 twist rate wears a barrel down faster. So, of course, she asked, “How much faster,” to which I really didn’t have an answer...

What does one do to improve ones chances of making a reliable AR? This question is based on a comment by the venerable Zak Smith for another thread: So what does a person do to increase his/her chances of making a reliable rifle? I’m sure the list starts with using quality parts and...

sorry. Where's the dead horse Smilie? A “friend” is trying to talk me out of a 1/7 twist 16” mid-length upper for and AR build. He says that 2 of the 3 things I want the AR for will not be served by the 1/7 twist rate and I have to get a 1/9 1) I want a HD weapon. “1/7 is good for...

Pasadena, TX Gun Show: “Another Monday. Another Gun Show Rant” Or I could title this thread: “Babes, Bullets, and Boneheads.” …but I thought that would be too salacious. Okaysoooo… I went to said gun show this past weekend. I witnessed 2 things which really make me wish people had...

I have a Garand. I love it. But I would like to use modern factory loads on occasion and would like a detachable box mag. I don’t really want a .308. But I want something with a bit more thump than the intermediate cartridge detachable box mag fed semi autos I already have. I would...

I’m looking at an AR build in the near future. It will actually be for the Mrs. Right now, we’re looking at a 16” mid length light weight barrel for the project (CMMG), but we were wondering if we should split the difference and go with a mid length government profile. It’s going to be a...

Anyone had any experience with this upper? CMMG 16" 1/7 Lightweight Mid-Length Upper w/625" FSB. Forth listing on this page: http://cmmginc.secure-mall.com/shop/?shop=1&cart=938524&cat=61& I’d rather it be 1/9 twist. But my Google-fu and Ask-arate have failed me and this is the only...

On a gun that has the importers SN and the manufacturers SN, which do you put down in the bound book?

Buddy of mine bought a magazine ext. for his 870 express to turn it into a HD gun. We got to talking about it and I mentioned that he could not go back to stock conditions once he did that (freekin’ dimples). He was kinda narfed off by the idea for a second then asked me, “Why would I want...

I get junk mail from Darling Sarah just to keep up with what the enemy is saying. Just got this a few minutes ago. Sorry if it's a dup. Enjoy. (tongue firmly planted in cheek, of course) ETA: It's a .jpg pic. Your browser may shrink it. Expand to see the thought provoking logic. *cough...

Dumb paranoid question... I know. Ok… given how crabby the BATFE is about form 4473 and putting “YES”, “NO” and no abbreviation; Does 7CR need to be filled out the say way. Questions 11 through 13 seem to just require checks or X’s, but being properly condition by out friendly JBT’s I’ve...

A discussion in another thread about a home security device made me think about starting this discussion rather than going all Al Qaeda and Hijacking the tread. Would any one think this is an OK deterrent pair for us renters? www.lasershield.net + a 300lb (or lighter) safe anchored to the...

Ok… I need some advice. I want a Garand. I don’t think I’ll end up shooting it a heck of a lot. I doubt I’d go through a case of ammo over a year (maybe 2 years). I don’t care if I can cave in a gnat’s private parts at 200 yards. I just want a Garand that can hit paper at 50 - 100 yards so...

Some thoughts prompted by 9/11 I don’t like to start a lot of threads, but I kinda wanted to share this and see what people thought about it. Some of you who’ve read my posts know I work form home and I also carry at home as well. If not... you do now. The coffee just kicked in enough...
