    AR Malfunction

    Re: AR Malfunction Look carefully at the two cartridges at the top of the magazine stack . They appear to be punctured at the shoulder but the holes appear to be punched from the outside of the cartridge inward. That could be from the bolt carrier splitting. It's hard to tell if the powder...

    Using Pistol AR shouldered

    Re: Using Pistol AR shouldered Left and right hand 300 Fireball made with Stag uppers. I don't hold them against my shoulder. Not even to fondle them in my own home. I don't consider it wise to wave red flags at the ATF. To emphasize that they have very short GSE buffers.

    Rifle Scopes Are S&B scopes really that much better?

    Re: Are S&B scopes really that much better? Shooter skill and quality rifles are not mutually exclusive. Both are necessary for successful long range shooting. I see little point however in upgrading from even a "Super Sniper" to an S&B unless it's actually limiting shooting accuracy...

    Painting a AR

    Re: Painting a AR Why paint? Does painting have any functional value on an AR? It's not like an AR is going to rust. Paint isn't effective camouflage since it does nothing to beak up the silhouette of the rifle or shooter.
