    "Drop In" .460 Rowland? Hardly!

    This project started easy enough, send $295.00 to Clark Custom, wait three days, swap barrel and spring, enjoy .44 mag thump from my rarely used Colt Series 80 enhanced. WRONG.

    Palmetto State Made My AR's Spawn

    Anyone else get in on PSA's Black Friday deals? I snagged a complete 16" m4 upper, free-floated aluminum hand guard, FN CL barrel for $299. I was content to use that as my dedicated hunting upper on my DD lower, but they had a "blem" complete lower for $154 w/ Magpul MOE furniture. Added the...

    Repairing a vintage Weaver?

    I have an early 1960's "El Paso" Weaver K4 in mint external condition, but it no longer holds zero. The fine target reticle visibly jumps around even when the weapon is dry fired. Can anyone recommend a compan to repair this? Has anyone used these folks...

    Daniel Defense Upgrades Today!

    Part of me thinks turning an M4 into a pig/whitetail/varmint gun is a tad silly, but the more I thought about it the more I wanted to keep the stock upper. In HD trim, this DD M4V3 wears an Aimpoint PRO and the OEM DD BUIS. That set up is great for HD, but I wanted to mount some nice glass...

    Do all AR's chew-up cycled rounds?

    I recently acquired my first AR, a Daniel Defense M4V3. It is accurate and cycles flawlessly, but so far the round count is low @ 70 rounds fired. One thing I have noticed is the amount of damage done to rounds cycled (but not fired) through the action. Cases are dented below the shoulder...

    Help me build this AR!

    I know next to nothing about this topic, but I do know what I need this rifle for. I hope this group can help me. First, my budget including optics will be $1500 max. I need the rifle to perform the following functions: 1. It must shoot 1 MOA. It is an OCD thing for me, I need to be able to see...

    Does any one make this potentially life saving gadget?

    I read an article recently by Mas Ayoob describing how a weapon mounted light saved a LEO in a hand to hand struggle with an assailant, as it allowed the gun to stay in battery for the contact shot. Does anyone know of a device that would mount on a rail (other than a light, this is for CC)...

    Gen 4 trigger Mods???

    I ordered a G23 Gen4 yesterday, and am considering the 6# spring and 3.5# connector mod. I have seen a few videos regarding a change to the OEM connector on the Gen 4's that has increased the pull weight to 6 lbs or so. Is this the case? Should I do this mod?

    which is better? Gen. 3 or Gen 4?

    Now that the bumpy roll-out is hopefully history, which is better? I have decided I must add either a G 19 or G 23 to my collection. I have heard that the frames on the Gen 3 are more robust, but the Gen 4 is more ergonomic. I will make this decision based on reliability first and foremost.

    CAI is showing signs of actuall quality? Centurion 39 vs. Polish 1960

    OK, I will admit that I generally run the other way from the crowd with regard to just about everything. So when the entire free world bashes Century Arms, I am kind of inclined to check their newest offering. A few years back, I picked up a "Polish" model 1960. This is an American milled...

    So I Am Cleaning Out The Safe......

    This is the finished product. I found ammo I did not know I had, and shame of all shames, a box full of random rounds of various calibers, weights, manufacturers. Am I the only one that comes home from a hunt / range with random rounds that never find their way back into the right box? Well...

    AK's Don't Shoot??

    I thought these things were not supposed to group.... I bought this Milled Polish 1960 off GB a couple of years back. It came with pretty ironwood furniture, and a non-chrome-lined Green Mountain Barrel. I added an Ultimak gas tube/rail, an Aimpoint 9000L, a GG&G barrel mount for a TLR-1HL...

    It's never as easy at it should be.....

    I've wanted a light mount for my Polish 1960 AK for awhile, but really could not find a decent mounting system until discovering GG&G. I balked a bit at the $50 price, but figured what the hey. With a TLR-1 HL, I would have 638 lumens of night-time illumination for the bedside and deer lease...

    The mentally ill should not own guns, right?

    Thanks to the ACA, our government is now in the position to know the details of our individual health records. This opens the door to massive new opportunities for "common sense" gun legislation. "Mentally ill people should not own guns". Sounds reasonable enough. No doubt, this statement...

    Which would you grab?

    So I'm sitting here watching my Spurs lose, and next to me I have these two. I ponder the front door kicked open, and wonder which I would grab. I honestly don't know, although if I take zero time to think, I probably go with the Colt for no reason other than it inspires a more confident...

    Beaman S1 trouble -- did I break something?

    I have a beaman S1, scoped in a solid mount with a BSA 3x9x40 ao, rated for magnum springers. The mount is a 3/4 to weaver conversion, with quality rings. It is rock solid. Today, my son and I were plinking in the backyard, and after 50-75 rounds, the barrel got away from me on the cocking...

    If you could eradicate feral hogs tomorrow...

    Would you? I posted this in another hog thread, and thought the question would make for interesting conversation. I have to admit, I have a hard time wanting hogs to be eradicated. I know they are harming the ecology, and unchecked, they will destroy the deer habitat. That said, I love...

    I broke lease law, or did I?

    We have a new hunter on our lease, and he dropped some stuff off this last week. It was iffy whether he was coming back this weekend, and driving the property, my son and I come across a pig trap with this large boar and a smaller boar trapped inside. I assumed it belonged to the new guy, as...

    What two modern equipment changes do you hate? (Or, what do you miss most)

    There is a great thread running on what folks feel are the two best equipment changes to modern hunting. It made me wax nostalgic for some things that are long gone. Here are my two: 1. No more Steel-tube weaver scopes with that high-luster blue finish 2. No more Rifles completely free of...

    Largest game taken with a .30-30?

    I would love to hear some stories about the largest game taken, or the largest game you would consider taking with a .30-30. Pics would be great. What would you confidently hunt with the good ol' .30 WCF?
