    US GI AR-15 steel mags

    I have six USGI magazines that are at least 15 years old. I swapped out the factory followers with Magpul ones and installed Magpul ranger plates. Not a single problem.

    5 shot 12 Gauge 00 Buck vs 30 Round AR15 for Home Defense

    Mossberg 590 loaded with #4 buckshot for me. Nine rounds is enough for most situations, I think. Plus, I carry at home, a standard USP40 in that case.

    Rock River Arsenal URG ready to ship?

    Hi all. I'm looking for a RRA complete URG (A4 flat top, 16" barrel, BCG, charging handle) to complete my AR build. The build is time-sensitive and it would be great if there is an online retailer that has that configuration ready to ship. Any ideas?

    What the heck is airsoft?

    There are a lot of current or former MIL/LE guys who use airsoft as a training tool for force-on-force practice. Others (like myself) built their airsoft rifles to mirror their real-steel weapons. My airsoft M4 handles practically the same as my real-steel AR-15 (construction, weight...

    Aesthetics

    Form follows function. None of the weapons I own are considered beautiful - USP40, M590, M590A1, AR-15. They are very utilitarian in looks but their functionality cannot be questioned. Hell, right now I'm finishing up the AR and getting ready to move into Glock territory. I'm not James...

    Appropriate response to children attacking man in DC Metro

    Under ordinary circumstances, get out of harm's way (such as get into a vehicle) and call the police. If finding immediate refuge is not possible (if you are stuck on a subway training, for example), hold them attackers off with the appropriate level of force - i.e. no unwarranted, excessive...

    Acquire a series of profitable businesses arranged in a vertically integrated manner. For example, I would own a young, innovative company such as Daniel Defense, a line of professional retailers to distribute the products, and a number of instructional programs designed for different skill...

    Paintball or Airsoft - Gateway to Guns?

    Airsoft to the real deal for me. My parents are fine with guns, but they won't go out of their way to get one. I started with airsoft guns in various configurations. Then when I turned 18, I bought a Mossberg. Now, I'm 21 and I'm enjoying my brand-new H&K USP45. I still have several airsoft...

    Gun-related joke exchange - Get and donate them here. No obligations. No money down

    Very nice. Here's mine. A man with a knife rushes a Californian and a Texan with murderous intentions. The Californian Response: "Is this man truly going to kill me? Is he a victim of substance abuse? Did he have a troubled childhood? Or is he just angry with society?" The Texan Response...

That...

    Gun ownership in Russia is increasing...

    Oyeboten is absolutely right. I'm a ethnic Manchu/Mongol born in the People's Republic of China (who has since become a naturalized US citizen and proud gun owner), and while on a visit back to the old country... I had a few drinks with a family friend who lived outside of Dalian, Lower...

    Lawsuit to Overturn California AB962 Filed – State Ammunition Inc.

    But remember, this is the same state that is so self-righteous that it is boycotting Arizona for minding its own business. In short, the morons in San Francisco hold an overwhelming amount of power, and with their collective nose so high up their collective ass, they just see themselves as too...

    NRA may endorse Harry Reid..... Sellout #... I am loosing track

    The only way to win a battle against politicians is to become as slick and underhanded as the worst of them. Sure, Reid may have a bad history with gun rights, but if the NRA is able to grab the man by his figurative balls and bend him to its will, we have a winner. As a certain Chinese...

    Armed Terrorist Assaults in the U.S.

    An armed terrorist assault is likely to happen at a crowded place - a shopping mall, a hospital, a school, etc. The bastards will be looking to gun down as many people as possible. My best defense? Situational awareness. When you enter a room, assess it - how many points of entry does it have...

    AB962 - Californians?

    Because, my dear friend, they are liberals and liberals lack two things: brains and common sense.

    AB962 - Californians?

    The thing you have to understand about AB962 is that although on paper it is supposed to only affected "pistol ammunition," this is California we are talking about here. To the attorney general, anything that has once been fired through a pistol is considered a "pistol ammunition" and thus...

    When is deadly force justified during a home invasion?

    And to add, providing that you are able to secure the intruder(s) and have them disarmed and prostrate at gunpoint, do not think the danger to be over. Contact the police, but never let your prisoner(s) out of sight or your weapon stray. If they lay obediently, all the best. If they resist...

    Mossberg 590 THICK Butt Pad / Long LOP

    Or get a Mesa Tactical M4-style pistol grip/stock assembly. They are some of the finest in the category. The telescoping stock offers six positions, and the pistol grip has personally been much more comfortable than the traditional grip. The downside is that accessing the safety or action...

    Why do we care what our guns look good?

    I would say that it is less of a matter of "looking good" than "looking uniform." For example, I see both a brand-new, Magpul accessorized AR-15 and a worn, beaten-to-Hell Mosin-Nagant as "good looking guns." However, should someone, God forbid, attempt to Magpul accessorize the Mosin, I...

    When is deadly force justified during a home invasion?

    California law states that a homeowner can presume the intention to cause deadly harm should his/her dwelling be forcibly entered. However, the law is somewhat iffy in my opinion. After all, this is California. Personally, I advise the following steps when hearing glass shatter in your...
