    Is the flashhider very important on an AR?

    As 9 M&M stated, the AWB does not make the use of a 20 or 30-round magazines unlawfull in either pre or post-ban rifles. Perhaps the use/ownership is restricted in certain states(unknown), but not federally. The AWB did not restrict the number of rounds a post-ban firearm could carry. A...

    conflicted about drilling into an old military receiver

    If you're not going to do it...let me at 'er. There's tons of these on the market, as well as hundreds of thousands of other C&R's available. There's a better chance of these old rifles being destroyed before their value even doubles. They were designed as tools and are still being used...

    Stovepipe - Glock 19

    Unless the follower portion that's designed to push the slide-stop upwards contacted the stop, which couldn't happen if a round was remaining, your thumb probably did it during recoil. I've encountered this several times earlier on the 10-rounders with the 2183 followers. I changed these...

    Favorite 5.56 x 45 launcher?

    I voted "other" since I see no bolt-actions in the poll. How about an LTR or similar? While autos are popular, they're not always 'favorites'.:)

    WallyWorld ammo question

    Here she be...... Cost is $10.95 at local Wallmart. $1 more online. I was getting 1160fps in my 4" G19 with the standard copper-jacketed 115gr wwb. I've never chronographed these brass-jacketed ones yet.

    Time for another battle rifle/SHTF thread.

    Well my choice is, and always will be, a lightweight .308 bolt-gun with premium European optics. Engagement scenerios I imagine are more based on those similar to "Enemy at the Gates" or "Red Dawn". Unless you're fighting with large organized cells, distance is your friend. Move light, move...

    2X$1000 guns or 1X2000 handgun?

    I feel the same about anyone that has ever purchased a new car. $15,000 for a new vehicle seems rediculous to me. I purchase mine cheaply from insurance auctions for less than $2,000. This leaves me alot of extra cash for hobbies I enjoy. Some people have different priorities. When shooting...

    Rifle Scopes: 1" or 30mm Tube?

    Evidence of this can be seen in the design of bicycle frames. Notice the diameter of the oversized tubing used on high-end aluminum manufacturers. The larger diameter is reported to increase rigidity. Same with aluminum arrow manufacturers. When the wall thickness is the same(designated by the...

    2X$1000 guns or 1X2000 handgun?

    If I was going to spend 2K on a 1911 it'd be a Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special. I purchased a Colt Gunsite last year, but wish I would have did the above. I know it's not one of your choices. It was a dream when I was going through my '1911 phase'.

    Supressors in MA?

    This NFA guide says suppressors are no-no in MA. Just scroll down and locate your state on the chart. I believe there are currently 39 states where a citizen may legally possess suppressive devices. Your's and mine are 2 that don't.:mad:

    1,000 yard shooting

    This is true. The .308 with a 175gr SMK will remain supersonic out to 1K. Remember that you will be doing ALOT of shooting to achive & maintain 1,000yd accuracy. The magnum will be giving you alot more pounding when it's added energy isn't really required.

    American Rifles--still shoddy after 100 years

    Union supplied steel (+)Union forrested timber(stocks) (+)Union assembled firearms = higher priced, lower quality firearms, compared to those of other contries where employees take pride in their craftmanship and componants are less costly. It seems like the average american rifle costs...

    Need ideas for CCW gun.

    This would also indicate there's pleanty of time to save a little more cash for the next level of quality, etc. There's few $300(new) guns I'd trust as a defensive arm. They either lack quality or the round is simply too enimic. Now they make 9mm and .40's that are similar in size to .32 and...
