Hello, Sorry I haven't been as active but I found myself in a predicament this past weekend. I was wondering if someone could assist me in finding out why a certain spring and detent is giving me issues? The bolt release is stuck, as if the spring is half-way compressed and the release lever is...

(Sorry for the large picture, it has to be large in order to see the parts I need correctly) What are parts #40 and #42 called? I can't seem to find a legend that correlates with this schematics diagram. Exact terminology is preferred, it would help in online searches of the part. Any...

Ever since the idea of these new "bans" have been put on the table, every website I go to that I've been using to buy magazines for my Glocks...Well...They all seem to be back ordered or sold out :uhoh:. My solution to this problem is to stock up on extra parts for my existing magazines. That...

Hello. I have a question about my AR when I load a round. When I load a round into the chamber, something in the feed ramp or chamber area puts a scratch or two on the bullet. I'm not sure if it's the feed ramps doing the scratching or the chamber, but the bullet gets scratched and it happens...

Okay, please do not assume I am just a paranoid nut, this incident has me extremely on edge. Earlier yesterday around 11am, someone rang my doorbell. I went to answer it and it was a young white woman with blonde hair, dressed professionally, no older than 25-30 years old. She claimed to be...

Hello. I was looking at some AR uppers recently and saw them in various lengths: 14.7", 16", 20", etc. I understand that the legal length of the barrel must be at least 16". I've heard some people say that people buy 14.5" barrels and affix a permanent flash hider or some other device on the end...

I am thinking about buying an Arsenal SGL21 chambered in 7.62x39mm. I've been doing some research and have come up with some questions. First of all, I've seen that there are different types of SGL21s. To be specific, does anyone happen to know the differences between SGL21-61s and SGL21-71s...

I'm curious as to how and why people carry their knives. A majority of the people that I know that carry knives carry in their strong side front or back pockets. There are others who carry weak side front or back pockets. There are those who carry both strong and weak side. There are even some...

I have a question regarding the 9mm Winchester Ranger T-Series of bullets. I was shopping around and came across 2 variants that caught my interest: The 127gr +P+ and the 124gr +P. I understand that the 127gr +P+ version has more pressure than the 124gr +P version. Which version do you guys...

With the new year approaching, I am looking to make my next major firearm or firearm related purchase. After much deliberation, I have narrowed my choices down to 3 possible purchase choices. -12ga Remington 870 Police Magnum (Accepts 2.75-3" shells) with extended mag tube that can accept 6-7...

I've sometimes observed a slide manipulation method that has me curious. Sometimes, when I see people pull back the slide on a hammer auto to do a safety check or just lock the slide back or whatever, they first manually pull the hammer back, then pull the slide back. I know you don't HAVE to do...

I've recently been debating whether or not I want to add a BUG to my regular carry routine. I routinely carry a G23 @ 3:30, so that area is out. The BUG I will be carrying is going to be a G27. Ankle carry is out, I've tried it, too uncomfortable. I've also considered pocket carry, but I already...

I opened up some old boxes of 9mm Speer Lawman 124gr TMJ last night. Upon examination, I noticed that the rounds had a dark ring around the base of the shell casing, the part that's exposed below about halfway down above the ammo tray. I have 3 boxes, and about 35-40 out of 50 rounds of each...

I figured this would be the most appropriate section to post this in, but that's just what I figured. Moderators, please feel free to move if I am in the wrong. My question is in regards to the aforementioned ammunition. I was wondering if this ammo was safe to shoot out of a Gen 3 Glock 19...

I'm not sure if that's exactly what it's called, but I have a question regarding that little piece that has the little retaining pin plate that sits in the inside of the base plate and has a raised part that locks into the hole. I recently disassembled all of my Glock mags (pain in the butt)...

Hello folks. I have a dilemma that I would like cleared up. Any of you who have experience with these two rounds or have a good build-up of knowledge on hollow point ballistics would be of great value with your input. I am drawing near to the date where I am going to have to shoot my carry...

This may be an odd question to most, but it had me pondering after reading a post about someone dropping thier gun into poop. Us gun owners handle and touch guns with our bare hands on a regular basis. Sometimes, we may even accidentally place or drop them into very dirty places. We all know...

Please clear this up for me. I have searched the forum and the search queries I receive are still quite vague to me, because they explain things like 7.62x54 and 7.62 NATO (But not specifically 7.62x51mm NATO). I am aware of the whole .223 Remington vs 5.56x45mm NATO debate and, in reference...

I just bought a brand NIB Glock today. I put it side by side next to one of the other Glocks I've owned for years and the slide finish on my new Glock looks and feels different from my other one. My older Glock's finish is a bit shiny and smooth, it has about 500+ rounds through it. The new one...

I took a roll of nickels and wrapped it in electrical tape and I've been thinking about carrying it around in my pocket, but haven't done so. I am wondering about the legality of carrying this and (worse case scenario) having to use one in a SD situation. I don't *think* an improvised loaded...
