Finally found a smith who knew what to do. When I told him what was happening he milled the buffer without my telling him how to fix it. I'm impressed. I sure thank you guys for telling me how to cure my buffer problem. I haven't shot it yet but when I close the action I can see the bolt carrier...

While studying my AR15 I saw what was happening.On my rifle, When the action is closed, there was daylight between the buffer and the bolt carrier. When the action is closing the back end of the bolt carrier must push the buffer back 1/16 of an inch so that the buffer won't bang on the detente...

My buffer is banging away on the detente pin in my AR15. I've already broken one pin. I don't think it is supposed to work that way. I thought the pin is just to keep the buffer and spring from flying out when you open the action. Can someone tell me what's going on here?

After a long search, I think I will purchase the TRS-25 for my new AR. I would love the Aimpoint Micro but have taken a reduction in income this year. Therefore, I feel that the Bushnell is my best buy in the $100 range. Am I on the right track?

I just read 18 pages of reviews on the Aimpoint Pro. Nearly every review gave five stars to the Pro. Do you guys agree that the Pro is the better of these four RDS's? None of the other sights received such glowing praise in their reviews.

I want to put a mini laser on the rail of my semi-auto. I don't know if I should go with the laserlyte or the lasermax. I have CT lasers on two other firearms and am very satisfied with their performance. CT doesn't make a rail laser so I plan to buy one of the above. Does someone have...

I planned to put the Scout base in place of the original sight and I was going to put on a BSA Red Dot. Wal-Mart didn't have a BSA but they had a Tasco Red Dot. Alas, it was made in China. I don't like to buy from communist countries. I like the J-Point Red Dot. Of course it costs a lot more. I...

How does one properly measure a "group"? You know, you've just shot a great group and you want to tell your buds how you shot.

I want to buy a 22 for plinking. What is the most reliable 22-auto? My brother has a Walther and it is ok but it only runs on expensive ammo. I'm leaning towards the Ruger. However, I have never shot one. Any recommendations?

I didn't want to spend the money for tritium night sights. I bought a bottlle of glo-paint ("the world's brightest"), put on three layers and tested in the dark. The sights were great for five minutes and then began to fade quickly. Within fifteen minutes they were useless for many low light...

I have Heinie sights on a Glock and I like them. I would like a set of Heinie night sights on my Gold Cup but I don't want to have my slide milled - no not at all. Does somebody make tritium sights for the Colt w/o the milling of the slide?

I need to buy three sets of night sights and I can't spend the cash right now. There are good testimonials about these about these low-priced sights. Do any of you guys have experience with them? Are they worth fooling with?

I sent my Colt to the factory by the US mail. I'd never heard anything bad about using the mail to send a firearm. Now people are telling me this is a no-no. I insured the pistol for big bucks and the clerk didn't ask what was in the package. If this is illegal, I'm wondering how I've gotten...

My sons bought us all an airsoft pistol and we run around the back yard shootin each other. This is great practice and it is fun. I would like to get something well made and get in some inexpensive practice. Do you guys do airsoft? I'd like to know who makes a quality, reliable piece.

Can you recommend a real good gunsmith? I want to have an ambi-safety installed on My Colt and I don't want a hack-job. The San Antonio or Austin, TX area would be real fine but not absolutely necessary.

I want to put a safety on the right side of my Colt Gold Cup. I'm a lefty. I called Brownell's and they gave me a price of around 50 bucks for a Wilson C. safety. The gentleman told me that this is a gunsmith installed item. What is the reason that a smith must install it? Is it that machining...

I would like to order some wadcutters and powder for my new Gold Cup. A friend will supply the brass, the primers, and load them up for me. I'm new at this and don't really know what exactly to order or where. If someone has a good combination that works well for them and will tell me where to...

I Finally got my Gold Cup! How nice of Colt to give me two springs for it. One is for lightly powered wadcutters. The other spring is for carry ammo. I have a good friend who is willing to reload 500 rounds for me and I would love to do this. I am thinking about a 200 grain swc. What works...

I just bought my first 1911. It's a carbon steel Gold Cup. My manual doesn't show where to lube. I spent a good while on the net and the only advice I found was the old advice for oiling a 1911, "oil til it drips." I sure would appreciate some advice from the experienced as to how to...

We have a kimber Pro-Carry that fails to go into battery. We cleaned it and put in new springs. It shot great for 250 rounds but now won't go fully into battery again. Have some of you guys experienced this problem? Were you able to fix it?
