From the recently closed thread about relinquishing CCWs during police contact comes this purely disingenuous bon mot: I only resurrect this this aspect of the thread to toss the "lies, damn lies, and statistics" flag on this. A casual review of the "most dangerous jobs" -- with the...

Alaskan "sovereign citizens" plotting to assassinate LEOs and judges. This all flows out of the fact that their ring leader, Schaeffer Cox, managed to get himself arrested by violating one of about two restrictions on concealed carry here in Alaska and decided that all out war with the...

I'm not in anyway affiliated with Tactical Tailor, so this is just passed along as an FYI for anyone who might be interested or benefit from it, but Tactical Tailor is currently running a store wide 25% off sale. Looks like everything they don't already have on sale (and that is made in house...

My hands on experience with ACOGs was with TA01NSNs and a couple different versions with the red "F" reticle. I was wondering if Three Gun competitors or anyone else could give me some thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of some of the other reticle options out there, as the state of...

While I'm normally not that dim a guy, trying to sort out SBR related information seems to be like reading Greek for me. So if anyone can help with a pretty straightforward question: I have a Lewis Machine and Tool Monolithic Rail upper for my AR. I want to replace the 16" barrel with a 12"...

SoldierSystems.net has an update on SCAR procurement, with some good pictures from the field (mostly Mk 17s) and some behind the scenes info from reputable sources. Interesting factoids and such: To the eternal frustration of the "DI ARs suck" crowd, units haven't been lining up to trade...

Thinking about adding an XCR to the collection, and was wondering if some owners and/or those familiar with the design could provide some information on how the XCR runs with heavier 5.56 bullets. From what I see on Robinson's website, the XCR in 5.56 is only offered with a 1-9 twist rate. My...

Does anyone know of a source for a good compensator/muzzle break for .308 caliber rifles with a 1/2x28 thread pitch? My DSA carbine has the AR style bird cage flash hider on it, with a standard AR thread pitch, and .308 caliber compensators seem to come in a whole range of thread pitches except...

Has anyone tried mounting a MagPul UBR on a Sig 556? Seems like I've read on here about Sig using a slightly off tube diameter on the 556 compared to both government and commercial M4 tubes, and I was wondering if they did anything else weird, like using a different thread pitch, that would...

It would appear that I'm going to be PCS'ing to Alaska in the near future and have been trying to figure out the mechanics of getting my assorted firearms there. I'm going to be driving up on the Alcan and am trying to figure out what I can and cannot legally transport through Canada on a Form...

I know Alaska has very good concealed carry laws, but I think I'm reading some websites correctly that Short Barrel Rifles are not legal in the state even if registered at the federal level. Can anyone from up there or with other experience on the matter clarify?

I was in my local small, hole in the wall kind of gun store the other day and saw they had a custom 'smithed 1911 for sale on consignment. The gun looks very nice -- Series 70 Colt, everything feels very tight, trigger felt excellent even by 1911 standards, etc. The thing I'm wondering...

I've been looking at the Tromix Saiga conversions on FBMG's website and have a question I'm not seeing an answer to with a search. My question is are all Saigas (or at least all the Tromix Saiga conversions) set up with the Russian side-plate night vision/optics mount? I'm thinking about...

A search did not seem to turn up a lot of information, so thought I'd start a new thread. I'm thinking about investing the $$$ in a Krebs Custom AK, and was wondering a) about first-hand impressions on quality, fit and finish, etc. (I know it's supposed to be top end), and, equally if not...

There's a gun show coming up soon in my area and I'm thinking about looking into something mil-surp in 6.5x55. Would really love to find an m/42b, but considering the m/96 as well. This prompts a couple questions that those up to speed on either rifle may be able to help me with. a) What's...
