Maybe someone here from CT could help me out. The Father of a guy I work with here in OR, recently passed away and my buddy inherited some .22LR rifles from his Father's estate. There is one .22LR single shot and one .22LR semi-auto. Rather than try to sell them back in CT, he wants to know...

I recall reading somewhere (may have been ar15.com, but I can't find it) that there had been a few issues of blown up AR15 rifles using XM193 military overrun ammo. I see a lot of the stuff in stock at my local FFL and the price is reasonable (for these times), but am hesitant to try it in my...

I've seen threads here and on other sights about the relative merits of Direct Impingement vs. piston AR's relative to accuracy. I've seen people with opinions on both sides. I am going to purchase a new AR after the first of the year. I currently have two DI AR's. One 16" carbine RRA...

I got a call from my Brother today and my mother who is 92 was found unresponsive in the dementia care facility where she lives. I'm flying back to Kansas City early tomorrow morning for what may be the last chance I get to see her before she passes. I've never felt so helpless in my life...

I'm sure some of you may have noticed this as well, but the last couple of times I have been watching Fox news after I got home from work I have seen ads for Henry Rifles. I think this is great and plan to e-mail both Henry Rifles and Fox to thank them. With the way the MSM demonizes gun...

OK, I'll ask the stupid question. What is the difference between a Chrome-Moly Barrel and a Chrome Lined Barrel and can you tell the difference by looking at them. :o

I have two main carry pieces. One is a Ruger SP101 that has been tuned, ported, and had a bead blast job done on it. The other is a DW CBOB that is stock from the factory with the exception of some different grips. The DW has some little surface scratches on the polished flats on the side of...

I'm getting ready to consumate a trade for an S&W Mod 13. It has a bobbed hammer that the owner did not have bobbed himself and he doesn't know if it came from the factory this way (he thinks they did ship some of them this way) or if someone had it done later. This is a 3" revolver that was...

I have been a shotshell reloader for years and reloaded metallic years ago with my Brother, but haven't done it for a long time. I just accquired a RRA A4 Varmint upper with 24" Bull barrel and have decided shooting the typical range ammo I use in my other AR's in this upper would be like...

I feel like I just won the lottery! I got in the order queue at Milt Sparks this morning for two holsters. Ordered a PMK for my Ruger SP101 3" and one of the new Axiom holsters for my DW CBOB. I rolled the dice here as I have never owned a Milt Sparks Holster, but I've heard nothing but...

You all may have seen my recent post about needing some grips for my new SP101. Of more importance is getting a decent trigger job. It is the typical out of box Ruger trigger. Somewhat heavy, but not terribly so single action trigger pull, but truly horrendous DA trigger pull. I have a...

Just picked up a Ruger SP101 3 1/2" .357. Sorry for not posting picture, but my camera is having some problems and I figure most of us have seen an SP101, but did post a link. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/FAProdView?model=5719&return=Y Love the pistol, but hate the grips. They...

I was at a local gun store over lunch and saw a guy walk in with a fairly new EBR. Looked to be a piston upper with a full rail kit along with an ACOG. I over heard the guy saying he wanted to sell it and asking what he could get for it. The guy behind the counter said $400.00 and the guy...

Was at a local gun store this weekend and found a great deal on a BUIS for one of my AR's See link: http://u-t-g.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=52&products_id=28 It was marked $29.99. I almost thought it was mismarked until I noticed 3 more of the same item. It's made in...

Well, it's started folks. Was in a local gun store over lunch and I saw a DPMS complete lower that I KNOW retails for $367.00 marked up to $499.00. :fire: It has made me reevaluate doing business with this store. I know it's their inventory and they can do whatever they want with it, but it's...

I thought I'd seen pretty much every pistol S&W ever made, but I ran into one at the gun store today I had never seen. http://www.collectorsfirearms.com/admin/product_details.php?itemID=4697 The one I saw was in Blue rather than Nickel. The most interesting thing was a letter that was in...

I was talking to one of my local gun store guys today and the subject came up that I had recently purchased 10 more 30 rd P-Mags. He said that if AWB II or something similar gets passed, those mags will probably be worth $60.00 or more. He said that was what he saw happen to high cap mags...

I've been waffling back and forth about purchasing a piston upper for my AR, but have heard opinions varying from "they're the best thing since sliced bread" to "they buy you nothing". I would be vary curious to hear from someone who has put at least 500 rounds through both systems to see if...

Found this posted on Fox. They are possible considering charges related to the death of the boy that shot himself with the UZI. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,444510,00.html SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Authorities are considering whether criminal charges should be filed in the death of an...

Hi gang, I've been thinking seriously about getting a piston AR and have heard both good and bad about LMT and POF. The bad mostly regarding some of their early offerings. Any input anyone would have on either of these platforms would be appreciated, but especially from anyone who is familiar...
