What variable powered scopes are you AR15 shooters out there using? I've got a 20" flattop that I'm thinking of upgrading to a magnified optic on. I'm considering a low power like a 1.5-4 power like Leupold's Mark 2 or their new Mark AR. What are my other options?

I'm considering a future purchase of a Thompson/Center Encore. The purpose of this rifle would be for recreational precision shooting and as a general hunting rifle. I want to start out with a .30-06 Springfield barrel and expand from there. I know the advantage of buying a pistol receiver vs. a...

I recently paid about how much an AR10 went for pre-obama on an AR15. I was in SW Asia(Iraq) during the election and found myself unable to locate an AR15 in the configuration I wanted or AR15 parts until I came across this rifle. I just need the piece of mind that I'm not the only one who's...

I'm trying to hook someone up with an affordable general purpose semi-auto .308 rifle and I've come across a new Century Cetme as an option(the only option under $2k option available today). These are certainly new from the distributor and seem to be sturdy and assembled right. I realize these...

My situation is as follows: I recently returned from spending a year in the wastelands of SW Asia. While I was there I had planned to put together an AR15 shortly after my return. I don't think I need to go into detail about the political climate I returned to but it seems acquiring what I want...

A thread in the revolver section made me wonder how many of us have Tinnitus(chronic ringing, buzzing, etc.) in the ears. I know I do. I suppose for many of us it could have been a side-effect of the loud noise experienced during the discharge of firearms. I guess for me there were quite a few...

Upon reassembly of my 1911 pistol, I always have to fight with the plunger to get the slide lock in place. It always requires a small screwdriver to depress the plunger(which is more challenging than it sounds keeping the tiny screwdriver from slipping off of the tiny surface while allowing the...

I have an 870 here which has little bluing left and much rust on the exterior(this was the one I bought a little while ago in this condition). This is a field shotgun and I want a durable and utilitarian finish, preferably in some sort of woodland or OD green. What do I need and where do I start?

What is the correct way to replace a hammer-mounted firing pin on a S&Wvc revolver? Is Numrich the only company that stocks the firing pins?

It's an older 12 GA(2 3/4") 870 Wingmaster. Rough on the outside but great inside. Being new to the 870 platform, I have a question to ask: Are newer 870 parts interchangeable with this old Wingmaster(barrels furinture, etc.)? Also, what would a reasonable price be for this shotgun(I'm wondering...

The decocker cracked and split apart on my Smith & Wesson 39-2. How does one go about disassembling the slide to replace the decocker?

I've decided to scratch my idea to swap the barrel out on my RRA. Instead, I figure I'd be better off and money ahead to go ahead and build another and decide on what to do with the RRA later. This time I want to try the light-weight approach. Keep in mind I'm only experienced with the 20" HBAR...

Does anyone know anything about this rifle? Is it quality? It seemed to be. I bought one to give for a Christmas gift. It was like new. It's a semi-auto .22lr rifle with a fixed tube magazine.

The problem is this: I have a RRA STDA2 with the annoying HBAR and post-ban configuration. I want to make this rifle balance better and be able to fire heavier bullets. The extra "evil" features are just icing on the cake(might as well do it right the first time). What I want to do is make an...

When I was much younger, my first "real" rifle was a semi-auto .22lr that I owned for only a year or two because it had mechanical issues. It was a while back so I don't really remember the make and model. Something along the lines of a Winchester or Remington(.22lr repeaters are not my...
