    Sidearms & Scatterguns Opinions Lone Wolf Long Slides

    Looking for opinions on LWD's long slides for Glock 20. Going over a 6" barrel as a one of a kind thing I thought would be fun to play around with. Have read a few things in the past that said stay away from LWD but never gave reasons why. Have also read positive comments about them as well...

    Barrel Suggestions please, I'm Stuck

    I am trying to decide on a barrel and can't decide. As budget for me is a factor, about $350 is as high as I can go. My requirements are 14.5" length, 1-7 or 1-8" twist, 223 Wylde or 5.56 NATO chamber and mid-length gas system. Round counts will be high and fast rates of fire so not looking for...

    Just Hear Me Out, Ideas/Opinions Welcome.

    I am looking into starting a new project for next year and just wanted to see how much this could either be a fun project or a huge P.I.T.A. The idea is a fun cost effective short to intermediate range gun for backpacking and coyotes and a lot of rounds downrange without burning out the barrel...

    AW260 aka 'the Dragon' vs steel at 400 yds

    Finally got to take the Boom-sticks out after a few months of collecting dust. Rifles used were my Howa 308 semi custom varmint rifle and King Dick of my collection, an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare in 260, aka "The Dragon". While the first was fun, the AW is the reigning champion of...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts or experiences with Vortex Cantilever mount?

    Looking at one of these: Vortex Cantilever 30mm Ring Mount The price seems right and it looks to be a nice simple design. Optic is going to be a Vortex PST 1-4 and eventually a Nightforce 1-4. Anyone with one of these let me know your thoughts, positive or negative. Looking to keep the price...

    Set Screw or Clamp on?

    Looking to get a low profile Gas Block. I have a carbine length gas system and the hand-guard is a Samson Evolution rail 9 Ex. Because the rail goes over the Gas-Block, I don't really need an adjustable one. Looking to see what the benefits and shortcomings of each set screw vs. clamp on is. Any...

    Will Adams Arms Lo Profile work with...

    So just about done rebuilding my old POS Bushmaster into something a little better. Only things left for the lower are the trigger and ambi-selector. The upper will be receiving a new Rainier Arms 16" Medium Contour match barrel complete with an Adams Arms piston system. Now here is the thing...

    Mil-spec vs. Commercial buffer tube questions

    Like the title says, other than outer dimensional differences does it really matter which one you have? Or is it just a "mines mil-spec and yours isn't" kinda thing. Thanks in advance for any input.

    Custom AR or LWRC?

    Been looking at the LWRC M6 SPR in 5.56 for a while. However this thing called a budget has kept me from doing anything since I sold my Bushmaster four months ago. So my purpose will be: rapid fire engagements out to 150m and "precision" engagements out to 600m on steel and prairie dogs. This...

    Rifle Scopes Side by side pic of NXS vs PST

    I have finally decided what scope I will be picking up for my Howa sometime next year which is going to be a 6-24 Vortex PST. I have a Nightforce on my AI AW so I am trying to see what the size difference is between the two. If you have both I would like to see them just to figure out what I'm...

    Which torque wrench is better? Borka or FAT

    Like it says above, my wife said I could actually get something for once so I am trying to figure out which way would be money well/better spent: the FAT wrench or the Borka kit and why you came to that conclusion. Thanks for the answers gents.

    My situation Advice welcome

    So, I have my dream rifle(complete) as well as a few budget builds in progress. In total I have four bolt guns but truthfully only use one(AI AW) and occasionally will take out the second(Howa 1500 308) just to play with. I almost think I would be better off selling my Remington than...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 6-24 PST or something different?

    On a budget here so can't go over $900. I like the fact that the PST has a Zero Stop, and that the turrets are calibrated in the same units as the reticle. I don't need FFP and truthfully don't even like FFP(I know I'm going to hear it for that one) but SFP works for me. The other scopes I was...

    Extremely pleased and shocked!

    Finally the other day I got to go to the range with two of my favorites: my AIAW in 260 that I just put a 5.5-22 NXS on and my good old Howa 308 Varmint with my Leupold Mark 4 10x. As I haven't had time to hit the reloading bench since being home I ordered a few boxes of COR-BON 142 SMK's for...

    Rifle Scopes Who can refurbish old scopes?

    My dad dug out an old scope from WWII that was on his mauser VZ24 before he rebuilt the gun back when he was a gunsmith. Here are the specs for the scope: 2.5-7x with about a 36mm objective and a 26(yes 26)mm tube diameter. The reticle is an old number 1 in the ffp. The markings on it are faded...
