    Why are we still shooting semi auto's from the 50s

    16 inch barrel with 1:8 twist

    Re: 16 inch barrel with 1:8 twist It would depend on the individual bullet, as weight in grains is really just a way to approximate length for a given caliber. Right? I think the weight distribution probably matters more than overall weight, in terms of twist.

    Re: AR15 build upper??? I received some advice regarding hadguards/forearms, and their respective barrel nut interfaces; it was in a PM, so I'm going to leave it as an unattributed quote. I consider this to be an objective opinion, as it makes sense from what I know about the various barrel...

    Small frame AR build thread

    Re: Small frame AR build thread Seems like the LWRC Skirmish BUIS are unique, in that they are made of 7075-T6, and 4140 (with "NiCorr" treatment), (plus hard chromed bearings and detents). Is that correct? Any other BUIS use comparable materials? Anyone have any thoughts about these sights...

    AR as primary

    Re: AR as primary Bf2wesley; I was asked if I was in the "ultimate tactical mindset", (I think) because I put an ambi latch charging handle, on right-sided reciprocating side-charger. I guess this just kind of makes the hair on the back of one's neck stand up; it almost sounds like you're...
