I'm looking to become involved with grenade launchers. I'd like to start with a 37mm, and also get a Form 1 started and eventually acquire a 40mm. I've seen that DPMS used to make a 37mm upper, but I didn't see it on their web page. This would probably be my best first option, but I do have...

I've just been bit by the T/C bug. I've got an Encore, and I'd really like it if I could put AR-15 pistol grips and buttstocks on it. Does anyone know if such a conversion kit exists? If not, I've downloaded AR-15 blueprints and assume that I could either machine my own (which would...

I've been very interested in the Remington 40-x rimfire rifles. I am under the impression that the 40-x action is a 700 action with increased tolerances. What are the differences between the centerfire 40-x and the rimfire 40-x actions? I've been looking for another gun project, and I see...

I came back from a buisness trip yesterday to find that my house had been broken into and 10 of my guns were stolen. As angry as I am right now, I have to make a public thank you to Springfield Armory. First off, I don't have a safe, and that's my own stupid fault. Back in '04 I bought a...

I'm working on a Saiga of mine, and I'd love for it to have Galil-style thumb safety. I think I could make thumb safety of my own, but the only way I can figure it out is to have be rear to fire, foward to safe. This is the opposite of the way that I'd like for it work. While looking around...

Guys and Gals, I've a few questions about a gun project that I'm considering. I've been wanting an '03 for a while, and I've been considering working on a sporterized rifle. I found an '03A3 that has been subjected to a sporterized stock, 19" barrel, and a Lyman aperture sight. The metal...

I've been searching for a good cut-away picture or sketch of a rifle and a pistol magazine. Google hasn't been much of a help. Does anyone know where I might be able to find such an image? Thanks.

I finally had an opprotunity to wring out my Colt Delta, and came away with a few questions. It's a blued Pre-Enhanced model, to which I have added a Wilson drop-in beavertail, the Wilson mag well that hooks around the grip bushings, a Brown wide thumb saftey, and an extended mag release...

I've recently begun carrying a pistol, and have found that the learning curve is pretty steep. I'm 6'1", 240, and I'm not either very muscular or very fat. My centerfire pistols are a USP9F, Springfield full size 1911, and Delta Elite. What I had previously read indicated that the 1911s...

I'm currently building up an AR. I picked up a complete Bushmaster Lower and August's goal is to find an appropriate upper. I know for sure that I want to get a stripped flattop upper. I think that a side-charging upper would be preferable to the regular rear-charging + foward assist setup...

I have a few questions concerning the legality of long gun purchases. First off, is it legal to purchase a long gun from an FFL if you are an out of state resident (example: What if I, a Louisiana resident, wanted to buy a rifle in Tennesse)? Secondly, is it legal to purchase a long gun...

I've been interested in getting an AR-15 in the August-September time frame, and have been shopping around. I'm certain that I want an AR, and I intend to use it mainly in action shooting rifle competitions (3-gun, stuff like that). Features that I would really like would be a 20" medium to...

I'm very interested in aquiring a Saiga-12 shotgun and slowly performing some work to it. I understand that it is possible to convert the standard Saiga-12 to accept AK pistol grips and rear stocks. Is it also possible to convert it AND mount a AK to AR stock adapter? I prefer the greater...

I'm interested in reloading slugs, primarily rifled slugs. Where could I find rifled slugs as componets for a good price on the internet?

I was reading my issue of Guns and Ammo's The Complete Book of the 1911 and was reading their review of the Wilson Combat Professional. Of particular interest to me was that this pistol had a bull barrel and no FLGR. The setup that they used wasn't gone into in any real detail, but it...

I've been following the discussion on the new Enfield rifles with a bit of interest, and have always been curious about the cock on close/cock on open. Way I understand it, most rifles cock when the bolt is withdrawn, and that this is preferable. A few types of actions, Enfields, notably...

I was visting the local gun shops and there is a blue pre-Enhanced Delta Elite for sale at $600. It's screaming my name. I want to give it a thorough check-out before bringing it home, though. I don't need the same experience that I had with my Springfield. Externally, the gun appears...

As I haven't been shooting my 1911 since early September, I've been doing some thinking about the practice of dropping the slide under full spring pressure and an empty magazine/no magazine. I've read in manuals and heard in the internet that such a practice is not only sloppy gunhandling, but...

I just realized the other day that after hearing much ado about the .45 Super a couple of years back, that no one seems to make any mention of it now. I always thought that a 625 handling the Super would be a useful piece to have, but it appears that there is no interest remaining. Was it...

*GACK* I just broke my 1911! (Updated: 03.13.05) It appears that I have horrible luck with pistols. First, a little background: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4037 That was the beginning of my good luck. Fast foward to late August. I decided that I wanted a 1911...
