    Rifle or Pistol

    Fair enough I was a MI resident for 33yrs I didn't even bother getting a HCP till I moved here too much BS in MI as the laws vary by county and Macomb county held onto the board hearings to get a HCP which was a bunch of BS. Just as a side thought I wonder what a DNR officer would think of you...

    Rifle or Pistol

    But why would you want to? Your not a cop u don't need to get your AR out of your car to engage in a fire fight. I mean more power to you if that's what you want to carry but it has no practicle use in my opion. Barrel Nut is a fellow TN resident we are allowed to carry a rifle in our car with...

    Rifle or Pistol

    Once you attach a stock it is a rifle. If the barrel is shorter then 16" with a stock it is a SBR. No stock barrel shorter then 16" is a pistol. The only AR style pistol I would ever want is a RRA LAR-PDS the pistol buffer tubes on a standard lower defeat the purpose of a pistol if you ask me.

    Reminder about Dicks and Cheaper Than Dirt - Don't shop there

    Academy is another one that took AR's off the shelf after the SHTF. They still sold them but refused to display them. I was told by one of the sales reps that they were trying not scare away potential customers, and if was out of sight it would not bother anyone. It bothered me becuase they were...

    Knights Armanent sa-25 pricing

    Any company that charges almost $500 for a 5.56 muzzle brake must be leet. Look how awesome it is.

    Reputable place to order complete AR15 Bull Barrel Uppers

    It's hard to beat a Rock River Varmint Upper for the price. I have had one for over 10yrs and it is still a tack driver.

    zeroing

    I think overlap is a good thing. You want to be able to confidently engage any target with the platform in your hand and only switch out when you have to.

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrel Review - 308 Build

    Well I'm not claiming to be an expert on this subject, but I'm going off information I received from a well known barrel maker not a "SNIPER" magazine. Not trying to come off as a smart ass but it's just not true what you are claiming. You will never get more velocity out a 16" barrel then you...

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrel Review - 308 Build

    Faster spin equals more stabilzation for heavier bullets, it does not get you more velocity. Tighter twist = more drag in the barrel. Heavier bullets will stay supersonic longer but they are not going faster becuase of a tighter twist.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Modifing your CCW weapon?

    Put the APEX Shield carry kit in and call it a day. It's meant for duty and carry situations. Personally I like the M&P's but hate the sand grit feeling the trigger has, the APEX fixes that. Don't worry about all this lawyer talk, if you feel you will like the gun better with the trigger...

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrel Review - 308 Build

    Where did you get this info? I was told the exact opposite by Krieger. High twist equals more drag and lower velocity. They reccomended a 1-12 twist for 168's and they told me it would increase velocity and have less drag in the barrel. I went with a 1-11.25 for my barrel because I wanted to...

    Nemo Arms .308 Rifle

    You will love the SCAR, I can't see it being all that much different then a 716 though.

    Shooting a gas gun isn't like shooting a bolt action.... Explain this to me please

    Great information here. Without a doubt we all react to that bang and very few poeple can control it, it's just the way our brains are wired. I've seen my share of shooters that react in anticipation of the bang flinching before or during trigger pull. New shooters are notorious for this, but...

    Nemo Arms .308 Rifle

    Well Nemo was going to aquire SI, apparently the deal fell through, or atleast that's what I was told. I do not know if they share manufacturing or if NEMO built their own facility but they are both based in Kalispell Montana. SI has a proven record of building quality stuff, but I stand by my...

    Nemo Arms .308 Rifle

    At that price I would be looking at Gap, Larue, or JP. Nothing against NEMO but those I mentioned are proven performers.

    Shooting a gas gun isn't like shooting a bolt action.... Explain this to me please

    In my opinion there is not a lot of difference, unless you are trying to rapid fire. If your fundamentals are strong and you take your time between shots you will find the transition easy. As stated before though if your basic shooting skills are lacking the semi-auto will show this quickly.

    Building a long range LR308 - choosing a barrel

    Kreiger is the way to go. There will be a long wait but it is worth it.

    Troy TRX 308 owners.

    I've mounted two of these rails on a .308 the first one went on without a hitch. The second one never did mount exactly right atleast by my standards. I love the rail but the mounting system leaves a lot to be disired.
