    good sign that the semi-auto market is getting back to normal

    I never thought of the ammo prices actually putting more of a dampener on sales- good point. I was at wally world last week shelf had 3 boxes of .270, 2 boxes of pricey .45acp (hydro shok or something $30 per 25 rounds) and 2 boxes of an oddball .22 variation. NOTHING ELSE. been that way for...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex RZR HD 1-6x24/HK-91 clone

    I am THIS close to pulling the trigger on one of these for my PTR-91 (fixed 10 round mag...) Does anyone know if the rear half would clear the rear G3 sight assembly? (I'm using an HK 30mm SG1 claw mount) Unable to find pics of such a setup...

    My options to accurize M14

    In to hear why/how a different guide rod can increase accuracy. I've heard one of the top ways to accurize them is a solid bedding, or newer metal stock. It stands to reason as any movement (.002") of the action in the stock WILL translate out to larger groups at longer and longer distances...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 4 to 16

    I have a Viper PST 4-16 SFP mil/mil and now I'm thinking it may be an earlier one (bought it 2 years ago LNIB from a hobbyist). At 16x glass doesn't hold a candle to the Leupold VX-III 10X I used to have.... or the ACOG TA11E I used to have... the only other scope I currently own is an Elcan...

    Is the M1A a Good Rifle?

    I have a National Match and an all USGI Bush rifle. The NM is my favorite rifle because I'm tall and like the balance, great trigger, and the history behind the rifle... picked up the Bush as an investment, it has maybe 2 mags through it. I'd like to get a nice trigger job for it and start...

    HK91 builder

    I picked up a PTR build from a guy in Florida named Robert Lewis who briefly came out of retirement to do a batch, it was outstanding except the clip/pin job (spot welded the shelf with a tiny dot weld, began to bend from recoil) sent it to Arizona Response Systems, it came back ROCK SOLID and...

    Battle Rifle Optic Choice??? GO...

    Hard to decide between the ACOG TA55A and the Elcan SpecterDR 1-5-6x. Sold my TA55A to fund an emergency once-in-a-lifetime score, wish I had it and a flat-top AR to put it on.

    Bipod or bags?

    If I go to a range that has plenty of bags I use them front and rear, if there's just 2 per bench etc. I use my bipods. Prefer the bags for sighting it etc "takes the me" out of the equation.

    Movie Theater Movie set: STALINGRAD

    After seeing a documentary on the 1st season of "The Walking Dead" I don't know what to believe anymore- it truly is amazing what can be done with computers. They can build real things then replicate it digitally in full-motion video. The Japanese Zeroes in "Pearl Harbor"? Only 2-3 real ones...

    6-20x50mm scope on an m1a- Am I a fool?

    Re: 6-20x50mm scope on an m1a- Am I a fool? I had a Leupold VXIII 10x on mine for a while, then an ACOG 5.5x, after shooting 2 appleseed events I got hooked on iron sights.... but then after putting an Elcan SpecterDR 1.5-6x on my FAL I decided I like that range of magnification and am saving...

    Shipping mags to California.

    Re: Shipping mags to California. Yes it is legal to ship parts and parts kits. People buy PMAGS for the purpose of building a "10/30" mag which is blocked internally to only hold 10 rounds (via rivets, polymer blocks, etc). Yes someone COULD just assemble a PMAG which did not even EXIST...

    the m1a got some surgery... new butt

    Re: the m1a got some surgery... new butt That's how I'd have mine setup if I didn't live where I live. I actually tried the Smith front sight/gas block on a Scout but I like the NM sights so much better. Oh and the neutered version of that FH (is solid brake w/holes in flutes where slots...

    "Assault" rifle prices since Newtown

    Re: "Assault" rifle prices since Newtown I'm counting on the miniscule attention-span of the average 'murican coupled with the layoffs/hour reduction that will be BREATHTAKING in 2013 to direct attention away from a futile attempt to expend energy on the SYMPTOMS of the mental health problems...
