I finally got around to taking some pics for you guys. There were a couple of surprises with this one...some good, some meh. The barrel is just over 16" and is chrome lined as advertised. Supposedly 4150 steel with forged 7075 upper and lower receivers. The barrel is a medium-ish profile, but it...

Hi, does anyone have any experience with the latest Armalite AR10 "Tac" series rifles? Since DPMS is no more, I'm wondering how they compare in reliability and parts compatibility. I know they have different receiver specs, but Armalite finally adopted the PMAG/SR-25 standard. Who makes...

I did a quick search on this and didn't see anything obvious. Has anyone else noticed that the Colt 2020 Python seems to more resemble a Colt "BOA" than a traditional Python? The BOA had a slightly beefier Trooper frame and action with a Python barrel. The BOA also had a serrated (vs. checkered)...

I'd never heard of these until a couple weeks ago. One day, out of the blue, my 91 year old grandfather said he'd wanted one all his life. So that set me on a mission. I found a few for sale on Gunbroker, but I avoid buying guns there these days if I can help it. I was able to source one at a...

Hi all, I haven't posted here in awhile...I hope everyone has been well. I'm looking at buying a used 2012 SCAR 17S. Can anyone tell me if there have been any product improvements between then and now? I know there was a bolt recall in 2016, but I haven't heard of anything other than that. And...

I'm thinking about getting one of these 870 barrels to cut down to 18": http://www.cdnninvestments.com/re87012cybod.html Does anyone have any experience with these barrels? Is there any reason this wouldn't be just as good as cutting down a used Remington factory barrel?

Hi, I just acquired a "NIB" S&W Model 40 from GunBroker, and the cylinder crane hinge protrudes about 1mm or 2mm past the front of the frame. I know this is abnormal, and I was wondering if there is any way to tell if a cylinder/crane belongs to a certain revolver. When I look under the...

Can someone help me verify that the BOSS CR I just purchased is made for a standard .270 Win. caliber rifle? The box it came in is apparently supposed to have a sticker identifying the model (19614), but the sticker is missing. The BOSS itself has "75/100" etched into it...is this enough to...

All, I just got an XD-45 and love it so far but have not fired it. I was loading dummy rounds and doing a preliminary function check when I noticed something interesting. When inserting a loaded mag with the slide locked back, I noticed that the top round in the mag makes contact with the...

I wanted to expand on my posts in this recent thread because I don't think they got the attention they deserved: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=333728 At some point 2 significant subsections of the Denver AWB (c. and h. of Section 38-130) were removed, presumably due to a...

I handled this gun for the first time today and I love it. I want one! It seems incredibly well-made...even more so than the original. But the same thing that bothered me in the pics bothered me even more when I handled it...and that's the AR-style forward assist staring you right in the face...

Can someone describe this or link me to instructions? I searched Google and and the forums. I need to replace the extractor spring to try to improve extraction/ejection. Thanks in advance!

I just read a thread where someone asked this. Here's the answer. The grip safety helps, but does not ensure, safer one-handed hammer cocking. If the the rear part of your hand is busy cocking the hammer, it's difficult to squeeze the safety at the same time. Browning's thoughtful design tried...

I'm looking for recommendations on mounting a scope on a Bushmaster 16" carbine with flattop. It has the standard GI front sight base, so I suppose I can expect to see some of the front sight in the sight picture. So what have you all done? What scopes/mounts/rings have you used? And how much...

This is long but worth reading if you have recently bought a Winchester or FN bolt gun or are planning to. So I recently purchased an FN SPR .308 Win. The distributor I bought it through e-mailed me last week and said that Winchester was recalling some bolt actions for some sort of...

Was there any vintage of Detective Special that was known for particularly good trigger pull? Also, would any/all of the various grip designs over the years work in small hands? Thanks

Hey, what parts were upgraded on the original AUG awhile back? It seems like it was a new bolt or something....was that all? Also, can you still get the upgraded parts if you need to? Or do you just have to hunt and peck for a kit on the For Sale boards? Just curious. Thanks!

I'm having a hard time deciding on a ninjafied scope for my new FN Special Police Rifle. I have a pretty good list of requirements, but I'm not sure which scopes fit the bill. First, I don't wanna spend much more than ~ $1000...preferrably much less. Excellent optics are a must, and good...

I'm looking at the A1A. It has a 20" fluted and chrome-lined bull barrel. I believe these are made largely from Winchester parts.....action, receiver, and maybe barrel. My dealer just got one that included a 0.7" 5-shot test target. I was impressed with this rifle. Has anybody shot one?

I just picked up a P7M8 on Friday. The first thing I noticed was a quirk with the squeeze cocker. If you squeeze it just until it clicks and then pull the trigger, everything is fine. But there is still more room to squeeze after the "click" before the squeeze cocker actually bottoms out. If you...
