    Alternative 10mm Auto Powders?

    As the title says I'm looking for alternative powders to use for reloading 10mm Auto. They are going to be used with 150gr JHP Noslers and HSM 180gr Hard-Cast Round Nose bullets shot out of Glock 20SF with a Lone Wolf 4.60" stock replacement barrel. I'm having a hard time finding all the typical...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt Govt 1911 circa 1939, value? Pictures Added

    My stepdad recently picked up a colt 1911 govt model circa 1939 with what appears to be a factory .22LR conversion for it. It also came with a leather holster as well. Curious as to what the price range for these firearms goes for? He picked it up for $100 at a garage sale. The barrel is...

    LWRCi M6A2, milled for Select Fire?

    I picked up a LWRCi M6A2 this weekend and as I was taking to apart I noticed a lot of similarities between it and an M4A1 lower, specifically that it looks like I can drop a Select Fire trigger assembly/safety selector in it and go. I'm simply curious if that is the case or if I would have to...

    Gunsmithing Suppressor build - Need some input

    I've been tossing around the idea of designing and building my own suppressor for some time now. I know about Form 1 and all the headaches that come with filling it out and getting it approved as well. I'm going to set it up as a thread on. I'm not dead set on the length and diameter either...

    Another CA gun law question (Shipping Rifles)

    I know of one way to ship rifles to CA and that's an FFL to FFL transfer. I'm alright with paying the fees to ship and register my rifles down here in California however the gun shops back home refuse to do an FFL to FFL transfer to California. Can I FedEx my rifles to myself, then take them to...

    Hunting & Fishing SoCal fly fishing?

    Who knows of a place to fly fish around 29 Palms? Or within 3-4 hours of it? I have a 5wt and 8wt G. Loomis with floating line. Im willing to switch that up if the need arises. I'm really looking for streams, creeks or rivers. The closest place I've found is Lee's Ferry and Willow Beach in Arizona.

    IAR magazine choice

    Does anyone have a report or access to one on the ability to run PMAGs, EMAGs or Surefire hi-cap mags through an IAR? We're attempting to find a better and more reliable alternate to standard GI issue steel mags. Our battalion gunner has told us that IARs are having issues running PMAGs...

    Heavy Duty Bi-Pod for M27 IAR?

    So my unit just got the M27 IAR's (Modified HK M416) in last week and the only fault that has been found is what uncle sam decided was an adequate bi-pod, the Harris S. Now its a good bi-pod but for an automatic weapon that is being used by guys trained on M249s its just not durable enough. The...

    Christmas finally came: Savage 110 FCP .338LM

    Was able to finally pick a .338 Lapua today. Snagged a Savage 110 FCP HS Precision model with the optional bi-pod for well below retail price. And I must say that I am more than a little surprised with how well this rifle handles. And the specs: Savage 110 FCP HS Precision Caliber: .338 Lapua...

    Suppressors QD Suppressor for the A2 birdcage?

    Looking to find a list of QD supreessors I can use with the A2 birdcage flash compensator. Modifying the A2 is out of the question because I need to be able to turn the rifle back in without it becoming obvious that I used a suppressor on it.

    Acceptable amount of wear in an upper?

    Whats the acceptable amount of wear in an upper receiver? I was cleaning my M16A4 at the armory today and giving it a quick look over and discovered a groove in my upper that I'm positive isn't supposed to be there. It's about 1/2in long, 1/4in wide and 1/8in deep at the deepest point. The...

    Range Report .50 BMG effects on target?

    So last night in our defensive position another student and I got into an arguement about the effects of a .50 BMG or 12.7mm at close ranges. He argued that the bullet wouldn't have to actually hit a person to cause a lethal effect, basically stating that the bullet passing with a couple inches...

    FGMM inconsistencies

    Went shooting yesterday with my dad and found some startling inconsistencies with Federal brass. My dad bought 2 boxes of 168gr FGMM for my .308 because I was fresh out of loading supplies. The inconsistencies I found was that the brass was too large for my chamber. Out of 40 rounds, 7 were too...

    WD-40 in gun cases

    How does WD-40 work in a gun case as a rust preventative? I know rem oil works amazing but after a recent hunting trip to Montague Island my pistol had some severe surface rust on the barrel, slide and frame. This was after oiling and cleaning my gun before and after it was used for the duration...

    Nosler brass thoughts and information?

    I recently picked up about 40 rounds of Nosler Custom Match 168gr .308 Winchester. I'm wondering how the brass will compare to say Winchester brass? From just a hands on inspection of once fired brass between the two it looks like Nosler has slightly better quality. I'm wondering what the...

    Suppressors H&K P30L FTE problems

    I'm having some issues with my HK P30L. When the chamber is clean I can run two full magazines through it (approximately 30 rounds) without a single hiccup. However after that it progressively has more FTE problems till it reaches the point where EVERY round will either FTE or fail to fully...

    Rifle Scopes Mil vs MOA past 1000, pros/cons

    In the process of planning my build for this year I've come across a dilema... Whether to use a Mil/Mil scope or a MOA/MOA scope. 90% of the guns use will be from 1000m to 2000m (or yards). I prefer to dial in my dope using my turrets and aim dead on for any elevation changes. So the question is...

    Reliable action... Which one?

    Alright so I am looking for the most reliable action that I can purchase. Just the action not a complete rifle (so no one say Accuarcy International!). Some things that I think contribute to a reliable action is integrated recoil lugs, integrated 20 MOA base and a preferrably one piece bolt...

    ABS Carbon wrap question

    I've been doing a tab bit of research on this subject and I 'assume' it can be done but haven't found any confirmation of it yet. So the question is this: Can a Surefire muzzlebreak with the QD setup to run a suppresor be run, with or without a suppresor, on an ABS Carbon wrapped barrel? If so...

    Rifle Scopes Konus Pro M30 - Good or bad?

    I'm in the market for a decent, working scope for my LTR. The Millet I have on it no longer tracks properly and I'm not the original owner. Added to that it has about 6 differnt coatings of Krylon on it so I'm sure that will void any warranty it 'might' have had. Anyways back on topic. Saw these...
