    Gunsmithing Surefire MB556k Muzzle Break Misaligned

    I finally finished my first AR15 build from a stripped receiver set. I have one problem, I have a barrel from Lothar Walther/Spikes and I'm trying to install the MB556K from Surefire. I've tried 1000 different configurations of washer/spacer to get the thing aligned to the 12oclock of my rifle...

    Rainier Arms

    I just wanted to throw Rainier Arms a shout out for outstanding service. The website is great, in my opinion, and their customer service is top notch. I was able to get someone on the phone no problem and also got a call back when she told me she would have to call me back to verify some...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD VS US Optics

    I'm nearing completion on my latest build which is a "semi-precision-ish" AR15 in .223 Wylde. I'm pretty sure I've finalized all other components selections except for GLASS. I really like the idea of a variable zoom optic and having tried some 1-4 offerings, there isn't enough ass, in my...

    CMMG BCG Quality

    I've done quite a bit of searching. The google machine, barfcom, the hide, etc. It seems you can draw conclusions on both sides of the spectrum as to the quality of the manufacturer. I hear their customer service is shit, I couldn't care less. I'm concerned with manufacturing quality. My...

    Syndicate tactical BCG??? -_-

    Browsing gunbroker after checking the status of my listed rifle, came across "Syndicate Tactical" m16 BCGs. They claim to be 100% milspec vanilla good old fashioned BCGs. Just wondering if anyone has heard of them? They're going for $250 and have a few on hand. I "want" one.

    headspaced bot to barrel

    Building an AR15 completely from the ground up, first time using stripped receivers that also match. Looking to get it right. I know it's a hell of a time to do it but I have local guys that are taking care of business. ($20 pmags to give you an idea) I currently have an Aero Precision...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt 1911

    I own a Colt Commander XSE something or another. It's a 4.25" barrel and has an aluminum frame. Stainless. You get the idea. I was curious after my range session today, can I buy a standard slide and barrel that would fit and function properly on my current frame? I'm still learning the 1911...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns New Colt 1911

    Just picked her up. Assholes did the paperwork and said I still had to wait because of a note about an FBI investigation. Who in the hell would have ever thought having a clearance would make getting a firearm take LONGER? This state can fall off into the ocean for all I care. Send me back to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 refinishing

    I created a thread a few weeks ago asking guys on the site what they thought about certain 4.25"-4" 1911s. Anyway, I think I've made my decision. Looks like I'll be going with the Colt XSE Commander with the lightweight frame. So, my question, what do you guys think is the best route for...

    Rifle Scopes talk some sense into me please

    I hate the current optic on my AR15. The problem is, it's a Vortex 1-4x24 Viper PST with the TMCQ MOA Reticle and for $500 plus rings, it wasn't cheap. I thought the reticle would be great but its really just a bunch of shit that gets in the way. I've had a hell of a time just getting it on...

    ar15 problem

    Not currently able to remedy the situation being that I'm in Washington and the rifle is in Kentucky but I was wondering if anyone might have some insight as to my issue. I put together this AR mainly from BCM, except for the lower. The lower was purchased complete from a local gun shop. There...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns for the 1911 guys

    I currently carry a G22 (big gun, I know). I love it, 40s&w is a great round in my opinion and the high capacity is great. Anyway, I've been considering a 1911. I know full size is going to be the best route but I like the idea of a subcompact 1911 like the kimber ultra cdp 2. My question is...
