Do the buffer tube castle nuts on an AR-15 use a wrench which can also be used on the buffer tube castle nut on an AR-10?

I'm looking for some recommendations... I have a bolt gun that will send rounds further out than 400 yds, but that gets expensive to shoot. I want something that is cheaper, to use for fun and practice, but still accurate around 100-400 yds. Because I want this for "cheap" shooting, I am...

A stove-pipe failure or other FTFeed can look almost identical to the locked-back slide of an empty magazine; similar also with a rifle FTF. This confusion would be very much compounded by the stress of a life/death situation. The malfunction drill is tap-rack-bang, as you all know. But...

Without delving into the topic of what the members of OCT should be doing or refraining from doing, one of the more annoying things surrounding this situation is the response of the stores and the support they receive from members of this site for declaring "no guns in our stores". This post is...

I was thinking about the battle on both sides; one to support personal rights and firearm ownership, and the other being the false claims made to take away personal firearms ownership and our freedoms. I've started noticing the few threads about anti-gun establishments becoming victims of...

Some threads have got me asking the question... With all the anti-gun propaganda and the anti-rights mentality being championed within our public schools these days, how did you avoid siding with the anti-gun line of thinking? It may seem just so logical and ingrained in who you are that this...

I am wondering what times or circumstances cause you to leave your carry gun behind. The illegal places to carry don't need to be mentioned, since I know that laws stop law-abiding folks like us from carrying at those times. I'm wondering about what burdens you are faced with on a daily basis...

I am tired of all this "gun drama" in the news and in our lives. I am tired of hearing the arguments from both sides, and thinking about my counter-arguments all the time. I am tired of the lies and the inability to listen from the other side. I am really tired of having OUR rights attacked...

I would like to hear about the most "loved/hated" guns out there, or the ones you own. These are the guns that are the most controversial, where a large segment of our hobby loves the gun and a large portion hates the gun (or tends to criticize it). If you own a gun which would cause you to...

I ride a motorcycle with some friends once in a while. I have known them for years, but we are not that close. I only see them a couple days a week, and only in the summer. I saw a bunch of them at the beach today (not literally ON the beach, just at the strip near the beach where people...

I have watched videos on how to disassemble the SKS. The first step looks so easy, but my rear spring cover (behind the bolt) will not move at all. I have pulled on it with rubber gloves, to get better grip. I have even pulled on it while tapping with a rubber mallet. Any help? Here's one...

Some people might never be happy with their collection and constantly change their inventory, and that's fine. For the rest of us, I am asking about a comfortable, or realistic, completion to your collection. It does not mean that your collection/collecting is over, just asking about that...

I hike/backpack in the Pacific Northwest and I want a gun with great penetration. We have bears (even some grizzly), moose, and cougars. Of course, I am only trying to prepare for the very worst encounter. Yes, I know the more likely threat comes from humans, but I'm not going into the woods...

Dang it. I meant for this to be in the General handgun section. Delete this please, Mods?

I met a girl a few weeks ago and we really hit it off. We spent a couple days together. She lives in San Fran. We have been talking for a while and she bought a ticket to come stay with me for a long weekend. I was excited, but I had concerns about her reaction when she found out I own guns...

I want to bolt my new safe into my closet. This is a carpeted floor, over ply-wood. The walls are drywall. I plan on cutting the base-board moulding pieces. I'm not sure what to do with: the carpet, the bolts into the ply-wood floor, and even bolts into the wall. I have heard the...

I mentioned one stance that was taken by a co-worker on the topic of guns (rape) in another thread. It received a lot of attention, so I thought I would put that comment into a list, along with some other priceless statements he has made. Of all the anti-gun, anti-rights talk I have heard and...

Sales people in gun shops, ads all over gunbroker, and references everywhere incorrectly label magazines as "high capacity"!! It plays right into the gun-grabbers hands (using their terminology) and it annoys the heck out of me!! If the base plate of the magazine sits flush with the bottom of...

In all of my non-AK guns, I insist on using only brass cased ammo. I know steel casings do not expand and seal the chamber as brass and the steel is very hard on the chamber and extractor of most semi-auto guns. Well, what about bolt actions? Since I'd be operating the bolt/extractor by hand...

I believe I have read in my research of WA gun laws, some place where it states that it is considered lawful for a civilian to employ use of a gun to defend a victim from an attacker. I can't seem to find it. Can someone help me find the reference for that? (...if I remember correctly) My...
