I have a Microtech Makora that I bought new (locally) that seems to have a bit of an issue. The blade jumped off the carrier (?) when retracting. This happened once before when I got it (only on opening, a flick of the wrist and everything seemed to be okay afterwards). Poking the knife into...

From what I've gathered, this is an earlyish Winchester M1 (129xxxx) with a lockbar rear sight, staked front sight (?), uncut oprod, odd gas plug(?) and a bunch of otherwise unremarkable Springfield parts. (The disassembly tool is apparently somewhat uncommon?) The stock also appears to be...

Since the name is synonymous with the flashlight manufacturer, googling for information on this topic has been practically useless. How are the surefire saiga magazines holding up? Specifically for 223/556. Do they have metal lining/reinforcement in the feed lips and/or where the magazine...

Anyone have a load for American Select in a .38 spl with 158gr bullets? Ideally, I'd like to get around 830fps from a 4" revolver.

I recently ordered (from Midway) and installed a new slide stop assembly for my S&W M&P 9mm. The attached spring is substantially heavier than the old one. It also has a bright blue coating of some sort. Problem: The magazine spring is (now) not stiff enough to activate the slide stop...

I notice that PTR is doing their version of the HK93(?) now. I hit all the usual spots (cope's, 44mag, cdnn, etc) and didn't notice anyone making reproduction 30-round mags for this rifle. Did I miss someone, or do you have to pay $60/ea for the real thing (when you can find them)? Anyone...

So, the last two pistols I purchased new have had some show-stopping problem necessitating a trip back to the manufacturer to have said problems resolved. (I'm also considering if I should send a third semi-recent acquisition back, or take a stab at fixing the reasonably minor problem myself.)...

At an IDPA match not too long ago, we had a shooter using a Ruger SR9. While pasting, I picked up one of his mags so it wouldn't get stepped on and noticed that it looked identical to a Smith M&P 9 magazine. I mean, the Sturm Ruger bird logo is in the same place as the cursive S&W logo and...

I just received my latest Midway order, which included another factory magazine for my full-size M&P 9mm. It has a gray follower, as opposed to the black follower in the mags that came with the pistol. The mag bodies look the same (including the S&W rollmark on the front), but the protrusion...

Sometimes, it seems like you're lucky to get a couple range sessions with a shiny new gunowner. They buy the gun (usually something containing properties which you humbly suggest are sub-optimal for their situation) shoot it a couple times and, possibly, CCW it semi-regularly (if it doesn't...

I'm looking to buy/build an AR-15 for shooting the occasional IDPA carbine side match or IPSC 3-gun match. Performance on zombies, ninjas, pirates and Evil Bad Men isn't really a big concern. Also, I understand the rules on these matches can vary a lot depending on location. I'd welcome...

I'd like to open some dialog on the Ruger #1. I've used the search function and it doesn't seem to respect the "#" and "." characters, yielding few options for searching for something more specific than "ruger" or maybe "ruger single shot." I did wade through the threads from my most fruitful...

S&W elimated the pinned barrel in 1982, correct? When did they eliminate the pinned/round extractor and start using the square one? 1994?
