I'd like to get the slide on my M&P 2.0 milled for a Vortex Venom red dot sight. Anyone have any recommendation for smiths or advice on companies to avoid?

Just curious if there were any wildcats based off the 7.62X39 case. With its modest capacity, seems like a natural to neck down. Maybe there's better alternatives in 6.5 or 6mm or .224 caliber, but that doesn't usually stop wildcatters from trying. I know in an AR platform, it's not easy...

We post a lot about clarity, mil/mil, return to zero, etc. One item seldom brought up is a scope's eye box. By that I mean the window around the eye relief where you get the full picture through the lens, without any shadowing. I've never seen this in a scope's spec's. When it gives an eye...

I know M1's and M16's started out as service rifles and have been "accurized" by competitors for NRA high power and other competitive target shooting events (heavier barrels, tighter chambers, better triggers, free float barrels, etc.). Just wondering if anyone accurizes FAL's. Don't have an...

I never have any hesitation to dry fire my bolt guns. I've been doing the same with my AR. But I recently saw a dry fire device in the Sinclair catalog made for AR's. Worth the money, or should I just keep dry firing away?

I know that among semi-auto shotguns, there are a number of models that cycle the action using recoil energy. I don't like to sound like an idiot, but why isn't this done with rifles? I'm guessing it's a reliability issue. I know, for example, that many Benelli shotguns are recoil operated...

I'm getting a barreled action for a .223 Rem. Had planned on getting a Manners stock with the MCS-DBM mini chassis that takes AI magazines. But near as I can figure, AI doesn't make magazines for .223 Rem. What are the bottom metal/magazine options for .223 Rem on a Remington 700 clone?

Got a flat top AR last fall and ordered some low Burris Extreme Tactical rings for my 2.5-8X36mm scope. The objective bell wouldn't clear the handguard with the low rings, so I ordered mediums. Mounted the scope as far forward as I could, but still couldn't get a complete sight picture...

I've seen Dr. Nusbacher many times on Weaponology and other shows on the Military/History channels. He teaches at Sandhurst, but is obviously an American, so I was curious about his background. Did a google search. Found little about his background because most hits on him dealt with his...

Picked up a 5.56 AR recently (Stag 3L). Got some inexpensive ammo to use for it to build up a brass supply. Will begin reloading soon. I've never reloaded for a semi-auto. Can I just put a sized case in the chamber and let the bolt slam home to verify I'm sizing the case enough; same as I'd...

Looking to get a red dot sight for a 12 gauge shotgun. It's used to shoot feral hogs from helicopter. Shoot 3" buckshot loads. Short range work. Prefer holographic type sight to a "scope" type red dot. Employer willing to spend up to $200; might be able to stretch that up a bit. Just...

Picked up a 6.8 Rem SPC case at the range recently. Neat little case. Seemed to me if it was necked down to .22 cal it would be a nice compromise between the .223 Rem and .22-250 Rem. More velocity than a .223, but easier on barrels than a .22-250. I assume this has been done already...

Loaded up some 123 grain scenars for my 6.5X47 when I first got it. Overall length was 2.736" and 2.164" to the ogive. Really liked that bullet in my rifle, so bought 300 more and began loading more up recently. Seated them to 2.163" at the ogive. Overall length of these was 2.720"...

Picked up some spent brass at the range recently. The .308 Win was headstamped "CAVIM 83". The .30-06 was headstamped "HXP 63". Military stuff I presume, but not from L.C. Some other NATO country of origin?
