    Examples of recent rebellions/civil wars where semi-auto rifles critical to the rebels' success?

    What are some examples of successful rebellions or wars that were directly helped by the non-gov't side having access to semiautomatic rifles such as AR-15s or semi-auto AKs? I'm having a discussion with someone on Facebook (yeah I know) about the importance of civilians in the US being able to...

    AR-15 not locking back on last round

    So I built my first AR-15. I did it because I like to tinker with things. I followed a hodgepodge of videos from the usual sources e.g. Brownells, Midway. I really enjoyed the internet research, and actual assembly. Unfortunately my first attempt was not a success because the rifle is not...

    How much cheaper can AR parts get?

    AR-15 parts are at historic lows. How much cheaper can they actually get? I've never been an AR guy, but I do love guns, and I really like to tinker with things. Prices are so low right now that I'm building an AR as a Christmas present to myself. "Every day" prices are incredibly low, but...

    DIY Mod for Portable AR Mag Vise Rifle Stand Table Mount

    So I made a DIY Mod to the Wheeler Engineering Delta Series Lower Receiver Magazine Well Vise Block. I wanted a way to use it on my pc desk without drilling or damaging the desk, and there didn't seem to be a commercial option available that I found (I hope this thread doesn't change that) so I...

    AR still won't work

    Hey all, my AR is still not working. Today I went to my LGS and found they were having a going out of business sale, decided to get the above pictured fore end cap just on the off chance that my gas block was misaligned with the gas port in the barrel and that's why my gun wasn't getting enough...

    AR Optics with Carry Handle ....

    Hey pallies. So, I finally have an approved Form 1 in hand to work on my retro-tastic AR-15 SBR. It will look, kinda, like a CAR-15 in it's final form. Naturally, it has a carry handle. I think I'm going to stick with iron sights. However, if one was so inclined to a acquire a lightweight...

    .30 cal semi-auto with gas cutoff - No good options?

    I've owned probably two dozen guns of various types in the decade or so I've been shooting, but I've never actually owned a semi-auto rifle besides a .22 LR. The main reasons are (1) I don't care for the noise and (2) I hate the idea of fetching all the brass for reloading, at least when...

    Some AR-15s are now C&R eligible?!

    I couldn't believe it, but Ian at Forgotten Weapons has a new video on this very topic. Watch with caution, or you might start the C&R application process! Yeah, the AR15 is Now Becoming C&R Eligible (YouTube video) All my best, Dirty Bob

    Buffer Tube Changes?

    I am looking to upgrade my carbine length S&W Sport (the old ones lacking FA and dust cover) by adding a lightweight, mid-length upper. Palmetto has a nice pencil barrel flat top one. I want things light. Will I need to make changes in the buffer tube? Spring maybe?

    Plinking Ammo: Pulled bullets vs. Inexpensive NEW bullets?

    I've been buying "premium" or at least premium priced bullets from Hornady, Sierra, and Nosler exclusively but it has dawned on me recently that I might be throwing cash away and if the goal is to shoot so I can improve my skills, I might be able to shoot more if I lower the cost of the rounds...

    AR Optic Mounting Advice Needed

    I was hoping to get some feedback on what would be a good forward/offset mount for an AR that has a bit more vertical clearance than this one. This UTG mount did not fit my needed application. The product lacks the height needed to accommodate the objective diameter in conjunction with a...

    Windham Weaponry AR-15 Magazine Issue

    My dad bought a Windham Weaponry AR-15 and the magazine that came with the gun will not insert with the bolt closed unless it is forced in. Once it is locked in with the bolt closed the bolt will not cycle when I try to pull the charging handle. I tried one of my colt mags and it went in without...

    AR-15 Adjustable gas block usage?

    I have several AR-15's in 5.56 and I am looking to build a .300 AAC Blackout soon. I am just wondering when an adjustable gas block would be required? Is it only required for when you are considering shooting with a suppressor or for sub-sonic rounds? Can any one add input /clarify? I was...

    300 BLK CQB Pistol Muzzle Device- Ideas?

    Hey folks- Here's where I'm at. I'm assembling a .300 AAC home defense pistol. It's a 10.5 inch Radical Firearms upper with a stock A2 birdcage flash suppressor. What I want to do is put on a muzzle device that will reduce the report/ flash of the pistol, so it's not as loud and bright...

    Wildcatting the .400AR

    If I haven't seen enough cartridges in this world. I mean, c'mon just look in the back of PO Ackley's books with all those wild permutations of brass with ordinary bullets, primer and powder - what were they thinkin'? Did they expect there'd be some miraculous breakthrough from some odd chamber...
