    Gunsmithing Interesting problem with an AR buffer retainer

    A buddy of mine asked me to look over his AR - wasn't cycling properly and had sighting issues. Long story short - this was a frankenstein piece together. Fixed the sighting problem - operator error, but while checking his buffer I noticed it looked like a rat chewed the edge of the buffer...

    Looking for a new stock

    Looking for a new stock for my Anschutz 64 MPR. Would prefer one with a vertical grip and similar to a STC but with sling swivels for a sling or bipod. Would like a drop-in so I can use the original stock when I want to. An adjustable butt and cheek piece would be nice but not necessary...
