    3D Printer! Let the fun begin!

    Re: 3D Printer! Let the fun begin! Error, have you vetted any of the ar part designs yet? I'm throwing together a dedicated 22lr upper, and given the prices and availability for even a cheap poly upper receiver, I'm about to print one. My biggest concern is simply the barrel nut. I haven't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns M&P 9mm Mags

    Why are we buying up all the ammo???

    Re: Why are we buying up all the ammo??? Several years ago, I could buy a 100 value pack of 9mm at Walmart for ten bucks. Last time I bought it, the same box of cheap ammo was 25 bucks. That was only a six year difference. Talk about inflation. This isn't even gouging prices! I know I'll...
