    S&W M&P-15 bolt & firing pin

    Greetings all, I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P-15 MOE in FDE. I'm interested in picking up a spare bolt and firing pin as spares. Any suggestions as to which ones? There are a million choices out there. Just curious if anyone here has an M&P that they have picked up spares...

    Bayonet on a M&P?

    I was looking through the Smith & Wesson catalog this evening and saw something that I was wondering about. I notice on the M&P 15 that there is a model (MOE version) that has a bayonet lug on it. Would you actually be able to use this with a military M-4 bayonet? Reason why I ask is...

    Cleaning brass?

    As I get closer to joining the reloading ranks I have yet another question. My apologies for the "FNG" questions. When cleaning fired brass to prepare it for reloading do you need to tumble or use a ultrasonic cleaner? Just one or the other works? Pros and Cons to each? If it matters...

    5.56/.223 purchase

    I want to purchase a piston operated 5.56mm/.223 carbine. I am currently interested in the Robinson XCR for the ability to switch calibers in the future with the additional kits. Then reality set in and I doubt I'd actually need/want additional calibers for this firearm. It's use would be...

    Ventilation question

    I posted a week or so back about setting up a reloading operation in my recently "annexed" basement. I was wondering if any special consideration must be made as far as ventilation goes? It's a pretty large basement, roughly 36' x 36' square. There is one window on the opposing wall from the...
