    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 17 Gen 4 Mag Release

    Also with a small set of needle nose pliers, try to swap out the gen 3 mag release spring with your gen 4 spring and see if that lightens it up. The gen 4 addendum doesn't say they are not interchangeable.

    Gunsmithing info? on a hand gun project

    The only other thing I will add to this is be prepared to pay for mill tools since the factory slide sits at a 68 Rockwell with the nitration process that covers those slides now. The other thing with taking away weight from the slide, you are going to have to really tune the recoil spring to...

    Ear plugs, electronic?

    I know they aren't electronic but for 13 bucks you might be pleasantly surprised, but I use the Surefire EP-4 sonic defenders. The ability to talk and hear normal conversation yet still have it knock noise above 85db down to prevent hearing loss is fantastic in my opinion. They are issued at my...

    Long T3 action screws

    Should be the M6x___ allen head screw. Take your factory screw with you and go up a size or two in length. Hardware store will be the cheapest option for sure. I picked up spares from Tacoma Screw near my house but they are common enough to be found at lowes, home depot, etc.

    Tikka T3 bolt handle question....

    Apologies if my Google-fu failed me but I'm wondering if anyone out there has run the UK Gunworks cranked T3 bolt handle and if so, was it much different good or bad compared to Hinterland Shooters handle for said curve? I'm liking the idea of the slight curve in the handle but cant really tell...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best 9mm sub compact carry pistol

    I guess it really depends on how you plan on holstering it. If its on a belt or ankle, I like the HK P2000SK, G26 or even a S&W 940 revolver (wifes). For pocket carry, hard to beat the Kahr all steel frames (I hate their poly framed guns). I see the Shield gaining in popularity but haven't shot...

    bolt action or semi-auto?

    For "precision" I have a Savage Mark II FV-SR and love the hell out of it for the accu trigger and threaded barrel. For all else and AR training I have a S&W M&P 15-22. Better parts support that before with the Plinker Tactical metal charging handle and big mags. I picked up the Savage for 260...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lead use in barrel clarification

    A barrel with a typical land and groove rifling is great for lead because the lead can safely deposit in the groove of the rifling. The hexagonal rifling of a standard size frame Glock is made to create a better gas seal around the bullet as its fired. But this leaves no place really for...
