I feel like shortages are becoming more of the norm for shooting sports, rather than the exception. Personally speaking, this is really starting to become a huge aggravation for me, and I'm not sure if/when this ongoing cycle of shortages will ever end. It has gotten to the point where it has...

QUOTE POTUS: "I don't like them. Well, I'd like to think about it. I mean nobody's talked about silencers very much. I did talk about the bump stock and we had it banned," Trump said. "We're looking at that. I’m going to seriously look at it."" So, unfortunately it appears that the...

I have a few guns in my collection that I won't part with for sentimental reasons, but also want to be able to pack up for longer term storage without fear of corrosion. A few friends have mentioned simply vacuum bagging the well-oiled gun to preserve its condition, and this seems like a very...

What do you guys think of running an RMR as the primary sight on a rifle (carbine AR)? Let me give you some background: my duty rifle is currently setup with only iron sights. I used to have an Eotech on this rifle, but my agency deauthorized these sights after the debacle about their zero...

Have any of you built a precision bolt action rifle at home? I've built quite a few AR-15's, but that platform tends to be ideal for the home builder. Bolt guns have always seemed to be another matter. I'm currently picturing a gun I'd like to build, but I don't know how easy it would be to...

I like the idea of 80% firearms, and wanted to try building a Glock kit at some point. The thing I don't like about every 80% Glock lower that I've seen is that they're based off of the 1911 grip angle. I know a lot of folks like the 1911 angle, but I'm partial to the Glock's native grip angle...

Have any of you encountered your brass coming out of a wet tumbler discolored (I tumble with stainless steel pin media)? I've been wet tumbling my brass for probably 4 years now, and normally the brass comes out looking like new brass. The lot I'm processing right now is Lapua brass for my...

The SCOTUS now has a conservative tilt, but they've avoided gun cases like the plague for a while now (with Heller being an obvious exception). During this time period the likelihood of another federal-level assault weapon ban has been pretty minimal, thanks in large part to the party that has...

The Colorado legislature snuck in a late-session bill that amounts to a firearms confiscation law (whereby people who know you can petition to have your guns taken from you if they think you're dangerous). No one really expected this bill to end up in a floor vote in the Colorado House, but...

I have been piecing together a lightweight AR-15 build for a while now, and I finally weighed the rifle last night. I built this off of an 80% lower, and I plan to Cerakote the bare upper receiver when I finish piecing everything together. The good news is that this thing is light; the...

I felt this was more appropriate for a new thread, but the questions I have about these sections of law came from the story about the arrest of Douglas Haig for selling Armor Piercing ammo to Stephen Paddock (the Las Vegas shooter). Here we go: 1) What qualifies as "manufacturing" AP ammo...

I'm going to start Cerakoting some guns this week at my house, and I have all of the necessary equipment to do the job properly (solvent tank, media blast cabinet, spray gun, etc.). Anyway, I'm a bit hung up on the order of operations. Cerakote recommends in their training manual that an...

Okay, seriously, I think I went a bit overboard... I'd been wanting to pick up a few things for a while now, and I decided I'd watch their prices through the start of the shopping season. The thing is, most of what I was looking for ended up on sale at prices I don't normally see. So, I ended...

Woohoo! I just finished an 80% lower using the 80% Arms Easy Jig Gen 2. It was a fun and exciting project that I'd recommend to a friend, and like any 80% lower concept, it just oozes freedom and promotes the 2nd Amendment. A quick background on me, since we all come from different...

Please allow me to be honest here and say that this forum has been giving me some heartburn this week, as I see so many good and decent members grapple with how the gun owning community should respond to the Las Vegas shooting. That was a tragic and terrible incident, and I think we all feel...

Seriously, this stunt is hard to understand in its sheer stupidity. I'm on Youtube a lot, and I understand that people do a lot of silly pranks to try to get famous on Youtube. Shooting a "50 caliber handgun" (no idea what it was) at a book being held by your boyfriend, and assuming the book...

**DISCLAIMER: I fully understand the general legal issues that go along with machineguns, and the fact that NFA rules make it illegal to produce a machinegun or obtain one made after 1986. This question was just based out of a hypothetical discussion I had with another shooter the other day**...

Hey guys! I'm starting to look at some different options for finishing bare aluminum receivers, and/or steel barrels. What is your experience with Cerakote as a finish? The internet is full of mixed opinions on this finish, and I've heard everything from "it's just a crappy paint that will...

For some reason I never ran across this term until tonight, but I've since found it in about 20 different articles once I did a Google search for the phrase. Anyway, apparently I'm superior at something! While I've long figured that a minority of gun owners probably own most of the guns, I...

Seriously, this thing rocks. I've been tossing around the idea of picking up one of these case trimmers for a few years now. I know a number of folks from competition shooting who use this trimmer to trim their rifle brass, and they all swore by it. Admittedly, this is a pricey piece of kit...
