I have an Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) carrier which works well for me, but one of the elastic cummerbund straps has become lost. Does anyone know where I might find replacements and/or any other aftermarket upgrades that might be desirable? This is the newer, side-opening model -- not the older...

I'm researching the variants of the Kalashnikovs, and I repeatedly see some of the original "Soviet" AKs with a chrome-plated bolt carrier and some withouth. Can someone with a better understanding of the Kalashnikovs explain to me when and where the AK-47's recieved nickel-plated bolt carriers...

I recently had my beloved Remington 870 stolen. So, I want to replace her with the sexiest, expensive high-end "tactical" 12-ga money can buy (in the $2k area). I want a Semi-Auto, and I've narrowed it down to the Benelli M4 and the Saiga-12. I want your advice on which one and why. The...

Let us get something out of the way, we are talking about real, pony-wearing Colts. I have Springfields and Kimbers. I'm looking for an old school, either WWI or WWII -style Colt for collector's piece. Even though it is just for collection, I would like it to be able to eat some decent...

Okay, here's the story: For whatever reason, I have some leftover Mossberg 500 parts. I've got a 20" ported barrel with rifle sights, the receiver and all the internals, I am just looking at stocks. I'm trying to keep cost down, so I'm sticking with the Mossberg. Please keep all "sell it and...

Let's get the unavoidable verbage situation out of the way: There is no "Series I" Kimber. There is no "Series 70" Colt. The Series 80's/Series II/Schwartz safety 1911's can be "smoothed out" or whatever and so on and so forth. Forget it. It's over. I'm looking for a non-Schwartz 1911 to add...

I've had more 1911s than I've had women. And I've had a lot of women. ...and in that time I've found the most consistently reliable magazines have been those from Wilson Combat in any make/model I've had. However, I now see they have the standard magazines, the ETM and the Sentinel. I read...

Okay, I know there's already a boatton of these threads on here. I'M SORRY! Now that I have that off my conscience... My local shop's got two Colts (leave the C-O-L-T- is J-U-N-K arguments for another thread, please) that I'm in love with. I went looking for a .45 because I have a small...

I have a stockpile of Speer GoldDot .45's. I want to get a Colt Series 70 (yeah, yeah, yeah. Leave the "what about a Springfield" or "try a Kimber" comments for another thread. I'm inheriting a Colt (think of it that way). How well will she take my hollowpoint ammo? Would it make a difference...

:neener:My father and I are opposite when it comes to shotguns. I like the knock-you-silly, high-recoil whompers and my father is... shall we say: recoil-sensitive. I only put 3" Magnum slugs through my 870, and he prefers his .410 with recoil pad. However, I want to get him a 12ga (preferably...

I've got a Variant 1 Hk USP .40 on the way to me and I am willing to swap out the trigger if they make one with a shorter reset. In regards to Hk, I am only aware of four triggers: DA/SA, LEM, Match and DAO... Obviously the DAO will not have the shortest reset, but what of the other three...

What's up with the "maritime plug" http://www.ghostblock.com/product/GHO_MSC/Ghost_Maritime_Spring_Cups.html for the Glock? The research I've done says that it'll improve the Glock's reliability in watery and other harsh environments and it was only designed for the Model 17. I've also read...

I am looking at getting a Magpul CTR stock (or the MOE, when I figure out what the difference is) and it says it is for MilSpec tubes, not Commerical. I have a Bushmaster AR I recently bought at a shop, new, with nothing changed on it. How do I know if I have a commerical or MilSpec tube?

I'm getting another .45, but I'm also getting another .40 for duty should I decide I want more capacity in my duty gun. I have found a helluva deal on an Hk USP .40, but I am also fond of the Glock 22 RTF (that texturing suits me quite well). Which one do you suggest for duty carry for a...

In short, I work for a Police Department that authorizes private duty weapons. I currently carry a Sig P220 ST .45 which is fantastic, but I'd like to spice up my life with a 1911. I've not owned one in a few years and I wouldn't mind getting another. I've narrowed my selection down to...

Short and Sweet and if there is already a thread on this I apologize, but I couldn't find it: We are all stocking up on lower AR-15 receivers due to the impending return of the AWB, but will there be a great impact on "pre-ban" uppers? I.E. higher prices or availability? Or is the lower...

I've got a beautiful, all original Colt (pre-series 80) 1911 .45 lined up. The problem is, I'm considering "upgrading" it (changing the sights, trigger, hammer, beavertail, safety lever, etc.) to fit my personal taste. This is not a collector's piece, for I work in law enforcement and this...

I own a Glock 22 and just got an extended slide release and an armorer's tool. A friend of mine installed his himself without an armorer's tool and had never seen the inside of a pistol before, however he is (obviously) mechanically inclined. I can't get ahold of him to help me, however. Can...

I have been hired by a large, metropolitan police department that permits --nay, requires that I supply my own sidearm. I currently own a Sig-Sauer P220-ST .45 ACP. Long story short, I have no complaints about the '220-ST. I can double tap her like a dream and essentially shoot out the X-Ring...

I'm thinking about obtaining a beautiful Bushmaster AR-15 at my local shop. It has a heavy barrel, but it is not a free float barrel. If I wanted to make it a free float barrel, what would I have to do? Change the whole barrel? Swap out for a new foregrip and gas block? Can I do nothing at all?
