    Mossberg MVP Patrol rifle front sight issue.

    Thought I would pass this on to owners of this rifle as I had to chase the solution down. The fiber optic insert on the front sight got lost. That little piece of plastic came loose and disappeared. Checked Mossbergs webpage, no option available to purchase one through it. Contacted Mossberg...

    This morning in Houston a homeowner defended himself with what is reported as an AR-15 against 3 people in a car shooting at him. Two in car dead, one in hospital in critical condition. Homeowner not harmed. This should be another example of how the AR can be an outstanding defensive tool...

    Richard Wyatt of TV show 'American Guns' convicted on multiple counts.

    Another star of a firearm centered TV show goes down. 2nd time the person who purported to be a dealer did not actually hold the license. What the heck is the Discovery Channel thinking when they set up these shams? A little due diligence should have raised a red flag on these guys. Just...

    BATFE rules wipes are suppressor parts, and thusly regulated.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BR4IPLzFfMb/ While this is specifically addressed to one manufacturers suppressor, I think it can be interpreted to apply to all cans that use wipes. From now on they do not want end users replacing these little discs with holes in the middle, send it off to a...

    Frankengun Video

    I know this firearm was discussed a few weeks ago, but the new forum programs search feature and I don't get along. So this is why I am starting a new thread on it instead of bumping the old one. Enjoy.

    Latest 'leaked' BATFE white paper has some positive suggestions.

    This made the internet earlier today. Lot of good suggestions like removing silencers from the NFA list and dropping the 'making a NFA firearm' when you touch your shoulder with a pistol brace BS...

    Deal or No Deal: Sig P250 Compact

    Came across a very slightly used pistol today and I am contemplating purchasing it. It is a Sig P250 in 9mm. Has the rail on the bottom, so I think it is a compact model (not subcompact). Comes with factory holster and 2 total magazines. Very good bore and overall condition. White dot sights...
